On June 20th – 21st, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dedication of our building. Episcopalians have been worshipping in Fort Mil for just over 50 years. A group from Our Saviour in Rock Hill began meeting at Wolfe Funeral home in the late 1950’s. But we’re not sure of the actual date. But we do know the actual date of the dedication of our building in 1959, June 21st. At that time the people of St. Paul’s were actually members of the parish of Our Saviour. St. Paul’s remained a chapel of Our Saviour until the early 70’s when it became a mission of the Diocese. So our 50th celebration is of length of time in which we have been worshipping in our building. Continue reading ‘Our 50th Anniversary Celebration’

Did you know that girls who come to stay at Hart Cottage often come with the clothes on their back and perhaps a few belongings in a plastic bag? The staff at Hart Cottage (York Place) has asked if St. Paul’s can help their new girls by contributing to a CARE overnight bag for each new girl. Inside will be pajamas, towels, toiletries (i.e. toothbrush, hair brush, comb, etc), a swim suit, slippers or sandals. Various Junior sizes are welcome. As a special touch we thought we would include a small plush animal for each girl. A sign-up sheet is in the parish hall.
