It is with a humble spirit that I have accepted the position as Praise and Glory Coordinator for 2020-2021.
As women in the Anglican Diocese of South Carolina we have a wonderful opportunity to show our thankfulness to the Lord and practice generosity through the ministry of our Praise and Glory Offerings. The Praise and Glory Offering deepens and strengthens our spiritual lives by reminding us to praise God and give Him the glory for blessings large and small. As we place offerings in the Praise and Glory jars, we are helping further the gospel to brothers and sisters in Christ and the lost.
For the coming year 2020, our proceeds will be distributed to Saint Albans Chapel Society. Saint Albans Chapel Society is an Anglican ministry that welcomes cadets of all denominations at the Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. It is led by the Rev. Robert Sturdy (a ‘03 alumnus). Saint Albans is an Anglican Chapel, but it’s the Lord’s Table. All baptized Christians with vital faith in Jesus are invited to the Lord’s Table. Activities include conducting worship services; bible studies; retreats; mentoring and counseling and operating a lounge to provide a haven for cadets to rest, enjoy snacks and find a listening ear.
If you would like to receive stickers to make Praise and Glory Offering Jars for each member of your women’s group or to have Praise and Glory Offering Jars placed in your church, contact me at nellen41@sccoast.net, (803) 410-1200 or 455 Sunnehanna Drive #659, Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. Be sure to first seek the approval and blessing of your parish priest, and coordinate your efforts with him or her.
