This is not a class, but a contemplative Zoom experience focusing on the light of Christ during the season of Epiphany.  You can think of it as a six-week retreat you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.  We’ll meet on Tuesdays at 5:00 PM January 6-February 10, 2026.  Using spiritual practices of silences, reflection, journaling, and faith-sharing, we will listen to the growing revelation of God-in-Christ.  What was God saying in Jesus?  What is God saying to us?  Email Rev. Mary Beth Lawrence, facilitator, at law410me@outlook.com to register for the retreat and to receive the Zoom link.

The Education and Congregational Care Committees are excited to announce a new feature for our weekly E-Messenger which is designed to help us get to know each other better!  Each week, beginning in October,  we will highlight one individual/family and give a little information about them that you may not already know.  Contact Jayne Woodward or Robin Moseley for the information form, which asks a few questions for you to answer about yourselves.  Then you can email the form back to mcgpresadm@gmail.com or print it out and leave it in the church office.  We will write the article using the information you provide.  A copy of the article will be sent to you for approval before it is included in the newsletter.  Questions?  Contact Jayne Woodward (803) 730-5072, minniewoodward@aol.com or Robin Moseley (803) 730-7780, robin1030@bellsouth.net. 

SNACK PACKS PROGRAM:  Join us each Sunday morning after the Worship Service to pack Snack Packs.  The November Snack Pack Items of the Month are granola bars and small, individually wrapped candy.  Please drop off your donations in the marked bin in the church lobby.  Financial donations are always welcomed and much appreciated!

LOVE REVOLUTION MEAL MINISTRY:  Every second Sunday afternoon, 3:30-5:00 PM at Seven Oaks Presbyterian, McGregor volunteers share a meal with our neighbors in need.  Volunteers and prepared, ready-to-serve food donations are much appreciated.  Contact Mary Ellen Thompson at nicunurse96@gmail.com for more information.

LOVE REVOLUTION PROJECT:  We are collecting warm hats, gloves, socks, scarves, (new) underwear, and small blankets to distribute in November and December.  There will be a collection bin in the church lobby soon.  Contact Mary Ellen Thompson for more information.

CANDYMAN HOMELESS OUTREACH PROJECT:  We are also collecting gently used coats for unhoused members of our community to be distributed by the Candyman Homeless Outreach Ministry.  This charity is run by Bubba Cromer of the Cromer's Peanuts family and a former State Representative.  

MISSIONS COMMITTEE GIVING TREE:  There are two unaccompanied minors at Irmo High School that the Missions Committee plans to support for Christmas this year.  There is a Christmas tree in the library where you may place gift cards or give them to David Jenkins.  Walmart is good choice for gift cards or any store that is accessible by bus route.  Gift cards need to be received by Sunday, December 14.  Contact David Jenkins at djenkins880@gmail.com for more information. 

CEREAL BOX RECYCLING:  Have an empty cereal box?  Save it, flatten it, and then drop it off in the marked bin in the church lobby.  The box will be used for a cool school project led by school resource officers.  Contact Jane Hiller at janehiller@gmail.com for details.
