November is when we at Second Presbyterian remember and support Thornwell. In 1875, Presbyterian minister William Plumer Jacobs opened Thornwell orphanage to ten children. Now, although children who need a loving home are still welcome there in Clinton, Thornwell is known throughout South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida as a source for training foster parents and working with and helping to heal troubled families.

Our offering for Thornwell will be given in the service on November 22nd, and your gifts are welcome online now and through the end of the month.
