Waymaker
By Ann Voskamp When: Thursdays, beginning June 16 (6 week study) Time: 5-6pm Where: Upper Room Please let us know if you're interested in free childcare by signing up below! Books available in the office for $10. We're so glad you've decided to embark on this six-week journey to grow closer to our WayMaker Himself. Life can often feel like walking out deep into a churning sea. When disappointments come knocking us down like a crashing wave, we may find ourselves yelling "God - where are you?!?" Today, whatever you facing, wherever you may find yourself, our WayMaker is calling you and me to deeper intimacy with Him. Though the waves may be crashing in, we can trust the WayMaker is making a way through. Join Ann Voskamp as she teaches S.A.C.R.E.D.—a daily habit, a rule of life, a way of life—that will reorient your soul in relation to God through Scripture and prayer and study. The S.A.C.R.E.D. is a compass to find your way and The Way—to know God. |

Kingsley Plantation
Try Something New
"If you have an image of slavery, there’s a good chance it’s either “Gone With the Wind” or “Twelve Years a Slave.” But there is a Florida story of slavery that is neither of these. In fact, it’s a story that could take place only in Florida, with its heritage as a Spanish colony.
It all happened at Kingsley Plantation, a historic site under the National Park system, in an unspoiled coastal stretch of Florida east of Jacksonville.
Kingsley Plantation is a little known park in an out-of-the-way location. It is physically beautiful and emotionally evocative; in short, well worth a detour to visit. It’s part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve, which probably wins the prize as Florida’s most obscure national park."

Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge is one of the seven refuges administered as part of the Savannah Coastal Refuges Complex. The refuge is located in McIntosh County, Georgia, 45 miles south of the port city of Savannah.
The refuge encompasses six man-made freshwater ponds, as well as extensive salt marsh, open fields, forested wetlands, and mixed hardwood/pine forest.

Habitat for Humanity of Glynn County
St. Simons Presbyterian supports the work of Habitat for Humanity of Glynn County both financially as well as through volunteer support. All proceeds from the Habitat for Humanity Restore funds construction for new homes in Glynn County. Church members and visitors support Habitat in a number of ways. For example, church members volunteer at the Restore on a weekly basis helping to organize donations and merchandise. New volunteers are always welcome! St. Simons Presbyterian Church also sponsored the construction of a home for Quincy and Terrance Armstrong (Home #78), which was built after losing their previous home to a fire. In the spring college groups visit Glynn County to volunteer for Habitat. Our church typically hosts a dinner for one of these groups, so even if you don't like building, you can still do something to help others provide suitable housing. If you are interested in volunteering for Habitat for Humanity through St. Simons Presbyterian Church, please check the calendar or the events page for details and registration forms.
