Opportunities
In response to General Convention's Resolution A165, Listening Hearts Ministries is offering discernment retreats to help Episcopalians begin the process of listening to discern the nature and unity of the Church. The retreat is developed around the question: God, can we live together authentically as the body of Christ, even as we struggle with sharply differing views on issues related to sexuality?
This program, suitable for a diocesan group of congregation, invites participants to move beyond discussion and debate to be knit together in new ways through deep prayerful listening and creative engagement with Scripture.
Let your bearing towards one another arise out of your life in Jesus Christ. —Phil: 2:5

York Place needs donations for kids' holiday store
For the past two years, the employees
of York Place and all the wonderful friends of York Place have
donated new or gently used items for our Christmas Store. Our
children earn Christmas Store dollars through a point system to
buy gifts for family and loved ones at this special store. The
children would not otherwise be able to give gifts at Christmas
time. The children's faces light up when they are able to shop
for special gifts for their families.
We need your help to make this store possible. Please clean out
your closets and donate items that you can spare--anything is
appreciated. The children and staff of York Place thank you.
Contact Carolyn Smarr,
803.684.4011, with questions or send donations to York Place
(234 Kings Mtn St., York, SC 29745).
