CLOTHING CONNECTION - Now accepting donations!

You may have heard about our Clothing Connection, because in years past we have “connected” with our community by giving away clothing to thousands of families. Think of the Clothing Connection as a clothing swap. But instead of swapping items the day of the event, we collect the clothes ahead of time. 

We are collecting items now for our Clothing Connection which will be held on October 20. Please bring any of your gently used clothing (baby to adult) to our pod in the parking lot anytime from now until mid-October. Also, please help us get the word out by telling your friends and neighbors about our collection too. Visit lowcountrycc.org for all the details. 

FALL ART SHOW - SEEKING ARTISTS

LCC’s Creative Arts Ministry, is now putting together its next art show that will be held on September 16. This show has an open theme, and is available to all art mediums. Registration deadline is September 2. CLICK HERE for your application and more information. 

DATE NIGHT IS BACK - September 1 from 6 to 9 pm. Take advantage of this great, low cost opportunity to get out while your children are in a safe place. CLICK HERE to register.

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING - LCC BUILD TEAM IS WORKING WONDERS!

The LCC Build Team is working wonders locally this week as they change the life (and house) of a  78 year-old widow that has spent days on end volunteering at Bluffton Self-Help.  As she has served others, her house has fallen into great disrepair. 

This week it has been our great privilege to radically upgrade her house and give her a safe, remodeled home.  Additionally, Covert Air is volunteering their services and equipment to give her all new heating and air conditioning systems.  Isn't that awesome?  In this post, we are showing you a few "before" pictures as we work to:

 

-Repair rotten exterior wood

- Rewire electrical (interior and exterior)

-Paint exterior

-Build and screen-in front porch

- Install motion sensor lights around exterior

- Landscape and correct drainage issues

-New kitchen counters, sink, and repaint cabinets

- New interior doors and door handles

-New vinyl floors

-New bathroom toilet and flooring

-Roof repair

-Brush and tree removal

- and on and on….

All this is possible because of the skills and hard work of the LCC Build Team, YOUR generous giving and a God who provides and cares for His people.  Much of the material has been donated (for which we are very grateful),  but YOU gave all the rest when you give at LCC.  Thank you!  Stay tuned for some "after" photos next week.  

 

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT LCC!

CREATIVE ARTS EXHIBIT AND RECEPTION JANUARY 29.  

Have you noticed the changes we are making at LCC near Volunteer Central?  We are starting a new ministry called Arts Alive that provides a venue for artists of all kind to display the creative gifts God has given them.  We are launching this new ministry by hosting a Creative Arts Exhibit and Reception on January 29 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.  We would love for you to be a part of it, so please plan on joining us then to view the displayed art, see live demonstrations and meet local artists.  The event is free and open to the public.   

GUATEMALA MISSION TRIP - Application Deadline is SUNDAY.

We will stay in a beautiful Team House and will connect with a number of ministries in Guatemala City. Unfortunately, we can only take 12 people, so early registration is critical.  If you desire to be a part of this trip please call Pastor Joe today at 843.384.1994.

LCC BUILD TEAM - Registration Deadline is approaching

Join us for a mission trip deep into the heart of Bluffton! We have partnered with The Town of Bluffton and Bluffton Self-Help to remodel some homes for our neighbors who are in great need. We will provide the labor and the love. Stop by our tent outside this Sunday for more information and to sign up or visit LCCReach.com.

BIBLE INSTITUTE OF THE LOWCOUNTRY - begins Monday, January 30 at 6:30 p.m. Do you desire to know the Word of God on a deeper level? If so, the Bible Institute of the Lowcountry is for you.

For the Spring Term we will be studying Old Testament Survey 2 (1 Kings to Song of Solomon). You can begin anywhere in the process - it’s ok if this is your first Bible Institute Class!

WEEKEND TO REMEMBER - Marriage Getaway

Westin Hotel, Hilton Head Island - February 17 - 19, 2012

FamilyLife’s Weekend to Remember® marriage getaway is a chance to make a change. It’s a time to rediscover each other and find more intimacy in your life together. Visit lowcountrycc.org for more information or to register. Or, stop by our table in the lobby this Sunday.

A NOTE FROM PASTOR VINNIE TO KINDERGARTEN PARENTS:

Faith@Home Parenting Class - Sunday, January 29

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

Please join us for training on how to develop family prayer time in your home.

Each month, as part of our Faith at Home ministry, we partner with our parents  to teach a new faith skill for you to personalize and use at home.  January is the month to equip parents of Kindergarten age children in how to begin a family prayer time. Please plan on attending January 29 during your normal service time. 

Learning the faith practice of Family Prayer will make a dramatic difference in how your children view their relationship with God, and make your home a stronger place today and in the future. 

If you have any questions please contact Pastor Vinnie at [email protected] or by calling the office at 843.836.1101.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM LCC!

It is sure a busy time, but we want to let you know that we've been praying for you this week.  Praying that your week is going well and that you are best able to keep your focus on the most important element of Christmas, that is the Christ!  

So if you are feeling a little overwhelmed right now, by your circumstances, in feeling alone, or questioning everything about Christmas; why don't take a few minutes to sit down, open your Bible and let the One whom the holiday is about minister to you.  We all do NEED to let him do that you know.

To remind you, we are hosting three Christmas Eve Candlelight Services this year.  

Friday, December 23 at 6:00 p.m. and Saturday, December 24 at 4:00 and 6:00 pm.  

From all of us at LCC, we wish you and yours the merriest Christmas of all!  

Note: Remember that we will not be hosting services on Christmas Day.  Normal service times of Sundays at 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. resume January 1.  Happy New Year!

SUNDAY NIGHT: FAMILY TREE LIGHTING!

Don't forget, Sunday Night at 6:00 pm we will host our Family Tree Lighting.  Come out and sing some Christmas carols, eat some cookies and watch the night sky LIGHT UP with wonder and amazement!  Don't miss it!

MARQUIS LAUGHLIN @ LCC - NOVEMBER 27

Marquis Laughlin this Sunday! We love Marquis' annual visit with us. Invite, invite, and invite your friends and family to come and hear Marquis' unique presentation of one of Scripture's most faced-paced books, the Acts of the Apostles. (He will deliver a portion of the whole book due to time limitations.) Many of Marquis' resources will also be available for you to purchase. They are great aids in increasing your knowledge and appreciation of the Word.

DIVORCE CARE - Surviving the Holidays is Tonight

If you, or maybe someone you know, are struggling with anxiety, depression or just loneliness as a result of being separated or divorced, you are not alone and we are here to help.

Tonight at LCC, from 7 to 9 pm, we are hosting a special session of Divorce Care called "Surviving the Holidays."  In past years, many people have found this session very helpful in dealing with the new realities that come with being divorced or separated.  

Surviving the Holidays is a warm, encouraging and helpful event. Featuring video instruction and group discussion, it will help you deal with the pain or grief you are enduring this holiday season.

Why don't you come tonight, be encouraged and find hope?  Call or text Brad 816-7722 or Carol 422-0797 for more information.
