THIS COMING SUNDAY IS GIDEONS SUNDAY AT THE MAG, AND WE WILL WELCOME DR. JACK KERR AS OUR SPEAKER. AS IS OUR TRADITION,WE WILL TAKE UP A SPECIAL OFFERING TO ASSIST THE GIDEONS IN THEIR WORK OF SPREADING THE GOSPEL.

ORDINATION DISCERNMENT COMMITTEE

We have the need to form an ordination discernment committee. One of our Parishioners is interested in seeking Holy Orders to the Diaconate. The first step is approval by a Parish committee and a recommendation to the Bishop. If you are interested in serving on that committee, see Fr. Bill after the service or call him during the week.

UPDATED FOOD PANTRY SCHEDULE

Beginning immediately, the updated schedule for the food panty at The Mag is as follows:

Tuesday: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon

Thursday: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon

Bagged food will be given out – one bag per person.

USHERS NEEDED

The usher team could use a few more members, preferably two groups of two; this could be a husband and wife. If you are interested, please see Morgan Drakeford or Fr. Bill.

YOUTH GROUP

The Youth Group will start back meeting May 16 on Thursday evenings. More information to follow.

WEDNESDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY

The Wednesday evening adult Bible study, held at 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall, is covering the book of Genesis. This study is also available by Zoom. If you are interested in joining by Zoom, contact Fr. Bill at 803.227.2197 and he will sign you up.

SUNDAY COFFEE FELLOWSHIP

We have Sunday coffee fellowship after the 10:00 a.m. worship service each week. If you are interested in serving on the Hospitality committee, please see Sheree Welsh or Amy Owens. If you would like to bring food one Sunday for the coffee time after the service, see the signup sheet in the Parish Hall.

ELECTRONIC GIVING AT ST. MARY MAGDALENE

Donations and electronic tithing are now available on our web page at marymagdaleneanglican.org. Just look for the donate button on the header of the home page. It has been set up to work on both the home page of computer screens and on the home page of hand held devices.

If you are making your regular tithe, click in the select fund box and choose general fund. ALL REGULAR TITHES GO TO THE GENERAL FUND.

If you choose to donate to any other funds, such as building, endowment, Rector’s discretionary fund or designated giving, please go into the system separately for each donation. This eliminates duplicate reports being sent to the Treasurer.

Once you have selected the fund and the amount you are giving, you will have the opportunity at the end of the session to cover the administrative cost and, if you can, we would appreciate it if you would do that. It is a small charge. Once you have completed your giving and clicked the button to finish, you will receive within a minute or so a receipt thanking you for your donation that you can use as a record, although a full recap of your yearly giving is recorded and provided by Subsplash. It is our hope and intention that this will make it easier on some of our parishioners to give.

VISITORS AND GUESTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME. COMMUNION IS CELEBRATED EVERY SUNDAY.
