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:  Each week during the school year we provide food for the weekend (snack packs) for children in 5 Lexington/Richland District 5 schools.  Join us each Sunday morning after the Worship Service to pack Snack Packs.  We are collecting Rice Krispies Treats during the month of March and in April we are collecting individual serving packets (.75 oz.) of instant grits.  Please drop off your donations in the marked bin in the church lobby.  Financial donations are always welcomed and much appreciated!
