“The community that is open to the manifestations of the Transcendent comes to participate in the Transcendent. For the Christ-event has now resulted in God's presence in space-time history in the community of his believers. Ideally, then, the Church which has come into existence through the death and resurrection of Christ, and is the household of God (1 Timothy 3:15) participates, through the Holy Spirit, in transcendence.” (Jesus and the Gospel in Africa, Kwame Bediako)

A few more fun pics from the North Charleston Christmas Parade with our North Charleston UMC crew. We had so much fun and it was great seeing how folks lit up when they saw the cross. The kids were wonderful and it was not an easy job to give our 4,000 candy canes to thousands of people lined up around Park Circle. We had so much fun and looking forward to next year. Thanks to all who came 🎄🙌✝️😊💒

From my reading this morning on African Christianity. A beautiful and powerful meditation. #Africa #christianity #devotion #ghana

Heading to North Carolina for a few days to be with Amanda’s family. Nova is keeping an eye on the road to make sure we’re not taking her to the vet. Praying y’all have a wonderful holiday weekend and we will see everyone Sunday to worship. 🛣️🚐☀️🦃

A new picture (on the right) adorns the wall with a scene of communion. Ice included a lit close up. It was done in pastels by an art teacher who is a member of our church. I love how the arts can warm a place and give meaning. #art #worship
