PDF Final Exam Care Packages Have Arrived!

April 21, 2019

Annual Easter Egg Hunt

As Saturday, April 13, was approaching, experts in Augusta, GA, and Charleston, SC, anxiously consulted weather reports to figure out how their events might be impacted if the rain followed through on its threat to pour down. The worry was all for naught, though, as the weather for both the 2019 Masters Tournament and the 2019 St. Philip's Easter Egg Hunt was perfect!

Haitian Art: Reminders of Our Mission Tea Room Gift Shop Sneak Peek

by Clarke S. Wallace, Jr., World Missions Committee

Haitian art is a representation of its culture and people. Several beautiful Haitian paintings will be available at this year's Tea Room. The paintings were aquired by members of the St. Philip's mission trip teams over the past several years, and donations for the paintings will go towards this meaningful world mission partnership. Ours is a mission of presence through prayer, visitation, encouragement, and financial support for our sister church, St. Jean Baptiste, and its parishioners, schools, and community. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and for the past 25 years, St. Philip's has been fully engaged in its efforts, partnering with God to provide and improve access to healthcare, education for children and adults, economic opportunity, sanitation, and clean water. The parishioners of St. Philip's and St. Jean Baptiste share the love of Christ and the hope that the people of Haiti are not forgotten. It's a beautiful relationship with Christ in the center. St. Philip's next mission to Haiti is coming up June 19-24. If you're interested in joining this small team of 12, please call or email Gerry McCord (843-224-1342 or gerrymccord@).

Final Exam Care Packages Have Arrived!

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." 2 Timothy 1:7

As early as Saturday, April 13, college students feeling the weight of upcoming final exams received some goodies in the mail to help them cope with stress and remind them that their St. Philip's family is here at home rooting for them! Dozens of names were submitted by parents and grandparents over the past few weeks, and on Thursday, April 11, a team led by the Rev. Ryan Streett gathered in a parlor filled with mounds of easy-to-prepare (or ready-to-eat!) brain fuel, including macaroni and cheese, protein bars, hot chocolate, and popcorn??and Chef Connie Stahl's famous chocolate chip cookies!

After Amy Watson Smith bagged the cookies, Elizabeth Strickland and Felicia Lescow carefully boxed and labeled them.

Care packages contained many other little gifts, including cards written by Ann Harrington (above), stress reliever toys and Play-Doh, Bible verses, and Starbucks gift cards. After the packages were assembled with Henry Ford-esque efficiency, Allison McAdams taped them up. Ministry to college students is ongoing?? if you haven't already, please send the Rev. Ryan Streett (rstreett@) your student's address for inclusion in next year's mailing list, and remember to add a student email address if you'd like him or her to receive the weekly eSPIRE newsletter! View more pictures at news.

Is someone in your family graduating from high school or college this spring?

Email your graduate's name and school to landrews@ so that we may recognize him or her in the inSPIRE and the May 5

(Senior Recognition Sunday) bulletin! If applicable, please also include the degree or major and/or the school he or she is headed to next.

Amen.
