Irmo Campus

iCare Project

What an awesome expression of love was poured out on the hearts of two special ladies this past weekend as Irmo launched the iCare Project. I know they will never be the same because of the service of 25 men, women and children this past Saturday. 

Serving others is at the heart of the message of Jesus. This coming Thursday is the day when the church celebrates the last supper Jesus spent with His disciples . During that celebration, Jesus did the most amazing thing when he kneeled down and washed the disciples feet. What he did that day has echoed down the halls of time to send a message to all His followers that even GOD feels drawn to serve others. He didn't have to do it, but it was in His heart to serve others. Jesus said it like this in Mark 10

43  ...Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

I thank those of you who participated for following the example of Jesus by serving others unselfishly this past Saturday. Let me share just a few lines from emails I have received from these ladies.

Dear Pastor Jeff,

Thank you and your wonderful members ,for the blessing you give to my family and me. We look forward to visiting your church.

Mrs. Betty

Dear iCare Team,

I have been involved in ministry for nearly 30 years  and never have I had anything like this happen and I am so grateful to the iCare Team and to you as our Pastor for doing this for us.  I learned that sometimes I just need help and this is one of those times. I also felt so loved and cared for--sometimes when you are single you feel like if you don't do things for yourself, they won't get done and that can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Thank you iCare team!

CP

Join us again this Saturday in the cafeteria at the Irmo Campus at 9:00 for prayer and a quick breakfast and we'll head out by 9:30.  E-mail jeffkinney@seacoast.org with any questions.

We Care, We Share

Plans are being made now for our Outreach Ministry event to take place on March 15th. Our “We Care, We Share” event will involve meeting practical needs in our community through combined efforts of all our talents.

So, if you have administrative, event planning, building or handyperson skills, or simply are available and have a passion to serve the community, we want to talk to you! Please let us know you are interested by completing a Connect Card this Sunday and writing in “I Care” and dropping in the box. Pastor Jeff will hold a planning and information meeting on Wed, Feb 20th at 7:00 in the lobby.

Drop & Shop

Over 100 volunteers came out to serve the Irmo community on a Sunday and Wednesday in December.  The sea of red t-shirts was quite impressive as men and women showed up to wrap presents and provide a fun night out for kids!  It's hard to say who had more fun as new people to Seacoast were able to connect through serving and brush up on their foosball skills at the same time! 

Although we were able to send home about 2,000 invites through the children in 3 local elementary schools, you can't beat the impact of the personal evangelism plan!  Coworkers, neighbors and friends of our campus dropped their children off and took tours of our facility with promises to come back after seeing the wide smiles on their children's faces!

Asheville Campus Build Day

It's way too cool in the mountains to get good sweaty pictures so we moved the build day for the new Asheville Campus to Irmo on the hottest weekend in 40 years... a nice 107 degrees!  Teams from Asheville, Columbia, Irmo and Central Support all came and gave their all to knock out a project list for children's ministry and first touch!  Despite the heat, it was very COOL!

Women's Connection Spa Night

We had over 50 women participate and serve each other at the Women's Spa night.  Our purpose was to help ladies who are new to Seacoast or who've been here a while and haven't connected to meet other ladies.  And a lot pampering was done along the way...
