Hurricane Relief (Helene & Milton)

We continue to collect canned goods and dry staples in addition to warm clothing for cooler weather, all of which will support our sisters and brothers in the upstate. You may also support Presbyterian Disaster Assistance – Hurricane Relief (checks can be made out to Sea Island and earmarked for PDA Hurricane Relief.) You may also Google Presbyterian Disaster Assistance where information is available on how to offer financial support directly. Finally, we dare not forget to pray for God’s presence in the areas of South and North Carolina, and Florida that are now in a state of recovery.

Operation Christmas Child

Filled shoeboxes may be returned between now and November 17. Free, pre-printed boxes are available in the Narthex along with “Shoebox Gift Suggestions.”
