February Pastor's Message

On Sunday, February 11 we will be focusing upon the revealing of Christ to His closest disciples during His transfiguration. Sometimes we think that in order for Jesus to reveal Himself, we must see a miracle or something unexplained happen right in front of our eyes. But I would suggest that God does allow miraculous events and things to happen right before our eyes although we might not always recognize them. Watching people slowly become discipled by the Holy Spirit and God’s revealed Word is certainly just as much of a divine transfiguration of Jesus!
On Ash Wednesday, February 14, will begin our final Lenten season together. The service will begin at 6:00PM and afterwards we will meet for dinner at TBonz restaurant. I do pray and hope that you will spend your Valentines evening with your church family. The message will be, “All You Need is Love.”
One important truth about the transfiguration of Jesus – Jesus took only His closest disciples with Him. He brought Peter, James and John, not all the rest of the disciples or crowds that followed Him only periodically. What does that say to us? It says that the closer we are to Jesus and more faithful we are to His church, the more we will see a revelation of God in us, and the more we shall see our lives transformed.
Please continue to pray for our church family, our PNC, our nation and for people to come to the Lord. I hope to see you in the Lord’s house this Sunday for the Lord’s Supper and afterwards on Truluck Island for our Annual Oyster Roast!


In Christ’s Service,

Discussions
Sunday School Class

Sundays at 9:00 a.m.
in the
Family Life Center

The Discussions Class will meet for Week 8 of the 2024 Church School year at 9:00 am on Sunday, February 25. We are conducting a discussion of a DVD titled THE CHOSEN where we will continue viewing the Season Two final episode titled, BEYOND MOUNTAINS. We continue to understand more and more scripture from real-life characterizations of familiar characters and events in the life of Jesus. Please use the New Year as an excuse to join us even if you haven't been attending.





The Better Together
Ladies' Bible Study Group


The Ladies Better Together Bible study will complete their study of Revelation on February 20th. On February 27th, we will begin a 12-week study on “ Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God” by Henry, Richard and Mike Blackaby and Claude King. This revised, classical version has shown believers how to know God intimately and has encouraged them to step out in faith. Even if you can’t commit to 12 weeks, this study is designed so each week will independently guide you. If you miss a week, you will still benefit. Contact Susan Daniel for any questions. (843-766-3253 or bdaniel222@comcast.net). We meet every Tuesday in the FLC at 10:00. Feel free to bring a friend.





Men's Bible Study

Wednesday's 7:30 AM (FLC)
(Coffee, Breakfast & Fellowship Included!)

The Men's Bible Study is studying a 12-lesson series, the book "Parables" in the Life Guide Series, which we frequently use. Join us each Wednesday at 7:30 AM for coffee, fellowship, breakfast, and the study of God's Word. If you have questions, call Elton Waldrop at 843-460-0088.

West Ashley YoungLife
Their Mission:
Introducing adolescents to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.​
Working with the local church is important to Young Life:
Although congregations can minister in ways we can’t, Young Life has inroads in communities with kids who are disinterested in church. However, as Young Life staff and leaders care for these kids, we try to help them become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ who will one day be active in the life of a local church.
