All Church Related Activities being temporarily canceled due to COVID-19 Corona Virus concerns. 

“Though we will be practicing social distancing in the coming days, that does not mean that we cannot practice spiritual closeness.”

Greeting Friends,

Christians are called to love our neighbors – and especially to take care of those around us who are vulnerable – including those who are threatened by illness. To this end, your church pastors and leaders have made several difficult decisions that we believe are in the best interest of living out our Christian calling to lead with love and serve with compassion.

Beginning immediately, we will temporarily suspend worship, Sunday School, choir rehearsal, committee meetings, and small group gatherings at Bethel. We will continually monitor the situation and communicate to you regarding resumption of activities as we learn and discern what is best for our community.

• Our Preschool is closed through the end of the month and the Spaghetti Supper scheduled for this Thursday, March 19 has been POSTPONED.
• All youth and children’s activities are cancelled until the public schools reopen.
• Our Lenten Lunch and Bible Study at Windsor UMC will not be held for the next two weeks. 
• Holy Yoga has been cancelled until further notice.

We understand that Pastoral Care can be especially critical in times of great stress and anxiety in the wider community. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Pastor Julie directly at jdsonger@umcsc.org or call her cell phone at (803) 319-6169 should you be in need. Pastor Reggie may be reached at regrowell@icloud.com or on his cell phone at (843) 697-6967. 

Our church staff is still working, but out of an abundance of caution and care we are closing the office to the public. Please reach out to us via email or phone in order to connect. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask. 

In Faith, 
Pastor Julie

“Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us!” Romans 5:1-5
