March Pastor's Message

The Lenten season is always my favorite part of the Christian calendar year. There can be nothing of any greater importance than the answers and purposes Christ’s resurrection and salvation provides in life. And it is my greatest joy to be sharing it with all of you at Charleston Presbyterian during our last season of Lent and Easter together.
On Sunday, March 3, we will be celebrating the Lord’s Supper during the worship service. On March 10, we will talk about the wedding in Cana of Galilee, and what Jesus’ first miracle means for us. On March 17, we will talk about unity in the church. On Palm Sunday, March 24, we will have a special message centering around the “Stations of the Cross” of Jesus. I pray that message will move all of us towards greater devotion to our Lord.
On Thursday, March 28, we will share in a fellowship dinner together at 6:00 PM and then follow with our meaningful, Maundy Thursday service in the Family Life Center. Then on Easter morning, we will hear how the resurrection of Jesus Christ has changed everything in our lives. Our Adult Choir has some beautiful music in store for us during Lent and Easter. I pray that I will see you there. You don’t want to miss these opportunities to worship the Lord our God and prepare for Resurrection Sunday.
Please continue to pray for our church family, our PNC, our nation and for people to come to faith in the Lord. I hope to see you in God’s house this Sunday!
In Christ’s Service,

The Better Together
Ladies' Bible Study Group


The Ladies Better Together Bible study has begun their new study. It is 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.
