For our next Gospel Sunday, Dec. 15th, we will be joined by members of the Charleston Gospel Choir, in residence here at Second Presbyterian. They will share selections from their Gospel Christmas Concert on Saturday, Dec. 7th, 7:00 p.m. at Ashley River Baptist Church. More information about the Gospel Choir here.

God saw the great needs of the world and offered a perfect gift, Jesus Christ. In Jesus, we receive the perfect gift of God being with us, and of being with those in need—the gift of being together when we are near, and being together when we are apart.

The Christmas Joy Special Offering received on Dec. 15th is an opportunity to join other Presbyterian churches throughout the country to support our PC(USA) leaders. Through the Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions, our gifts honor the faithfulness of current and retired church workers in need. These generous actions bear witness to our response to Christ's charge to love one another.

Please give using the special envelope available in the sanctuary or online any time this month.

The Second Presbyterian Choir’s annual Advent offering will be a Lessons and Carols service during worship on Sunday, Dec. 22nd.
