Saturday, the 20th of November, dawned windy and chilly with temperatures in the high 40s, but that did not stop 10 Saint Philippians from driving to Saint Christopher Camp and Conference Center on Seabrook Island for the fall cleanup day. Saint Christopher has been a sacred place where our triune God has met and blessed so many people in this Diocese. ...

“How was your weekend?” My beautiful wife asked me. “It was ...” was all I could say as my 80-lb. beast of a dog almost knocked me to the ground upon my return from Regenerate. Regenerate is a youth retreat designed for high school students to grow closer to the Lord Jesus. For 20 years, this event has been held at Camp St. Christopher. This year’s theme was HOPE. What is biblical hope, and how do we live it in our daily lives?...

The beginning was a seed of an idea that was planted in my heart during the Rev. Brian McGreevy’s class on C. S. Lewis. He related how J.R.R. Tolkien and Lewis read, edited, and critiqued each other’s writings. When COVID hit in March 2020, the idea bore fruit in my life. My then twelve-year old granddaughter Grace, who lived in Los Angeles at that time, suddenly found herself attending school on Zoom and confined to the inside of her home, not only because of the virus but also because of California fires, which made it impossible to breathe healthily outside.

I determined to Zoom with them once a week to keep in touch....

This closing was necessary for the safety of our parishioners as well as visitors and tourists.
