Welcome to Church of the Palms

Sisters of the Night Start New Study April 24

Starting April 24, Sisters of the Night small group will begin a new study and invite any woman in the church who is looking for a night time group to join.

 Short Storys by Jesus explores a fresh and timely interpretation of Jesus’ most popular teaching parables.

Jesus knew how to tell a story. He knew that in order to get his message across he needed to relate to the people who gathered to listen—first century Jews—who lived in a very different world than the one in which we live today.

In Short Stories by Jesus, author Amy-Jill Levine takes you back in time and explains how original audiences understood Jesus’ parables. You’ll learn how new interpretations of the parables continue to challenge and provoke contemporary readers two thousand years later.

The six-session DVD features Amy-Jill Levine offering a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives.

This group of women meet twice a month and if you are interested please contact Candy Grose Group Leader 843-575-2716 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Blood Drive, May 30

Save the date of May 30 for a blood donation drive here at Church of the Palms in support of Susan Scholer. While the date seems far off, donors must wait 56 days between donations, so some planning is required to be part of this great way to support Susan.

Susan has already received an estimated 28 units of blood and may need more, so we've set a goal of 45 units!! Our goal will cover her use and support others as well.

Watch for an interest sheet coming soon to help the Red Cross plan for this drive. Additional information will be available on the pre-registration system called "RapidPass" and the opportunity for those willing to give Power Reds (double red cells.)
