I know this because people are driving more aggressively, my mailbox is stuffed on a daily basis with magazines I never ordered and I’m busier than any other time in the year.

I remember again the occasion of why I am so busy during this Christmas season. It all began with the birth of Jesus Christ centuries ago. Christmas has taken many forms for people and much of it has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. Santa Claus, Christmas trees, parties, lights, Nat King Cole, holiday colors . . . all things that usher in the season. None of these things are particularly bad, unless it pulls us away from the real meaning of Advent. Jesus said, “For this reason I was born, and this reason I came into the world.” (John 18:37)

Are we seeking Jesus during this Advent? Are we remembering that Christmas is not something that can be bought or created? The real meaning of Christmas can only be found in the promise with greatest gain: the Person of Christ.

 

Get Involved with Our Ministries

One of the most important ways to get connected at The Church of the Cross is to first become a member of our congregation. If you are not a member and you are interested in learning more about membership, please call the Parish Office (843.757.2661) and speak to Sue.

Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy. The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.

Pray

Want us to pray for someone in need? Submit a prayer request (with their permission) and your prayer will be communicated with our clergy, Church staff, and Intercessory Prayer Team volunteers.

The person will remain on the prayer list for four weeks or until the office is notified otherwise.

Give

Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. So, when we give, we simply offer him a small portion of the abundance he has already given to us.

Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God, and there are various ways to give at The Church of the Cross.
