Prayer Shawl Ministry
  

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a group of people who volunteer to make and pray over blankets and shawls for those in need of comforting from illnesses, misfortune, grief, loneliness, occasions of praise, and any other need, while mindfully praying for each recipient. These completed pieces are then presented in hopes the recipient will feel God's constant grace and love in each prayer entwined in every strand of yarn.

Epiphany
  
Epiphany is an ecumenical Christian ministry for young men and women from the ages of 13 and 18 who are in the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). It is a three-day retreat and teaching weekend that provides follow-up and continued support through monthly Reunions. Epiphany is modeled on other three-day weekends such as Happening, Cursillo, and Kairos. Seven weekends are held each year: four for young men at the DJJ facilities on Broad River Road in Columbia, SC, and three for the young women at the DJJ facilities in Greenwood, SC. Several parishioners have been active in this ministry by serving on staff for Epiphany weekends.
