Statistics reveal more than any time in our nation’s history young people are stepping away from the Church in large numbers. What is interesting is they are not walking away from the faith but rather the Church in general. There are a host of reasons, some are justified some not. I have never wanted one of their reasons to be because the church did not care or we forgot them once they moved away. Over the last several years I have worked hard to stay connected to those we raised in this fellowship and watched them begin new lives in college or a new vocation.
This last month our Youth Pastor, Tim Edwards, designated a portion of his budget to send care packages to every college student that is associated with our Church. Our hope is to do it in the spring as well. Last week the Drury family took on this huge task and put together 33 boxes consisting of gift cards, snacks, candy, and notes which were mailed this past Monday. Some time this week each of them will receive a package that simply communicates that we love, miss and care for them.
Remember that your giving contributes to noble causes just like this. Thank you!
Glorify God and Enjoy Him Forever!
Get Involved with Our Ministries
One of the most important ways to get connected at The Church of the Cross is to first become a member of our congregation. If you are not a member and you are interested in learning more about membership, please call the Parish Office (843.757.2661) and speak to Sue.
Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy. The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.
