New Nursery Rooms Open for Infants Beginning Easter Sunday, all of our infants, from birth to walking, will use the newly-completed nursery rooms. The rooms have been equipped to care for the youngest of our children. One room has been designated for infants from birth until crawling. The second room will house crawlers until they are steady walkers. Two New Bash Classes Added to Spring Line-Up
MBS: Management By
Scripture Each of us is a collection of personality styles that God has combined to make us all as special as snowflakes. However, there are four primary personality traits in all of us that shape the way we hear things, say things, understand and inter-react with others. MBS links the four primary personality traits to those of the four Gospels. The purpose of the class is to provide attendees with an understanding of MBS to improve their interpersonal relationships and gain a better insight to the Gospel lessons by understanding the authors’ personalities. Your Health, Your Way This class will
explore natural, drug-free and safe ways to a healthier body and life. Dr.
Bob Salamon of Lowcountry Chiropractic will discuss the true meaning of
health, the role of symptoms in the body, and the basic building blocks of
getting and staying healthy. This class is designed for anyone who wants to
take control of their health, and Dr. Bob will help get you on track with
practical and easy ways to begin the process. Mark’s Subplot: Portrait of Faithful Following Interpreters of Mark’s
gospel have seldom considered the crucial importance of women to Mark’s
overall narrative. This study will focus on the subplot of women to determine
its narrative function in the overall story. An overview of this subplot will
be examined first. Then, with the overall subplot of women in mind, a closer
look at the episodes of individual women will be taken to discover the
important functions they carry in the story. This will help us discern how
centrally the subplot of women operates in Mark’s gospel.
Woodcarving Woodcut or relief carving can be an end in itself, or the carving can be inked and transferred to paper in a printing process. In this four-week class, we will learn design transfer using Chrismons or other symbols; use of woodcut tools to create the design and add texture; and, hopefully, inking and printing a set of simple designs. Bring your ideas! These simple skills have wider applications and may fire your imagination and inspire other projects. A supplies list will be available in the Education Office in mid-April.
Creative Crafts During this series of classes, you will make an attractive Low Country wall hanging, from the “By Wisdom a House is Built” series patterns. Approximate size will be 20" x 30". You will learn to do raggedy edge appliqué, primitive embroidery and some quilting. Sewing ability is not required. A kit will be provided for $5. Please register in advance for this class and bring basic sewing supplies: scissors, needles, thread, etc. To
register for a Bash lass, please complete the

Haiti Orphans Perform at Area Church The Resurrection Dance Theatre of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, will perform at Summerville Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, April 19. The Resurrection Dance Theatre is the cultural touring arm of St. Joseph’s Home for boys, an orphanage for abandoned street children founded 20 years ago by a member of the Mother Theresa’s Order in the Catholic Church. Thirteen dancers, all former street children ranging in age from eight to 20, perform with the group. They present a broad repertoire of story dances depicting the history and culture of Haiti and incorporating traditional Haitian and African dance movements. Authentic Haitian drumming, colorful costumes and the exuberant athleticism of the young dancers all combine to create an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. on the stage in Summerville Presbyterian’s gym/fellowship hall. The performance is free and open to the public. A love offering will be taken after the performance, with all money going to the St. Joseph’s Home for Boys. Habitat Home to Be Dedicated Dorchester Habitat for Humanity will hold a dedication ceremony at the new home of the Elm family, April 30, and Bethany members are invited to attend. The ceremony will begin at 3 p.m. at 10 Craig Court in Summerville. For directions, visit www.dorchesterhabitat.org. |
