Lutheran Ladies present “You Grow Girl”

Tuesday, June 3 6:30-8:30 pm

Women of all ages are encouraged to save the date for our next Lutheran Ladies event.  Please join us Tuesday June 3 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm to learn about growing varieties of succulent plants.  You will receive a set of succulents to fill a 4 inch container with appropriate soil mix and care instructions to design and take home. A $20 donation at the event is suggested to help cover the costs. If you have a green thumb and want to share cuttings from your own plants, please bring them to swap with others. Kindly register for the event in advance so we will have plenty of supplies. A sign-up sheet is available in the breezeway at the church, or you may email the Church Office: allsaintsmp2107@gmail.com.

News from our Neighbors

Hamlin Beach is one of the historic African-American Settlement Communities in our area. Learn more about Settlement Communities at www.aaschc.com.

The Hamlin Beach community just became the fourth historic district in Charleston County, a designation that will help protect our historic community from over-development. Now, Hamlin Beach is working with the Coakley family, Lowcountry Land Trust, and Charleston County Greenbelt to secure six acres of property in the center of Hamlin Beach for a park. The property has two beautiful ponds, ditches, and canals. If approved, the park will be named the Coakley Chapel Park. Plans for the park include renovating the Coakley Chapel building and turning it into a cultural center/meeting hall, walking paths with footbridges, park benches, community garden, pergola, picnic areas, fishing area, and it will be open to the public. We are soliciting prayers and support for this project to help us protect and preserve the rich history, culture, and character of the Hamlin Beach Community.

POP Tabs for RMHC CHARLESTON

Even the LITTLE things make a BIG difference!

HOW DO THE POP TABS HELP RMHC CHARLESTON?

The tab of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can, which contains paint and other residue. Once our pop tab dumpster is full, we take the pop tabs to a local aluminum recycler. According to the price of aluminum at that time and the weight of our tabs, the recycling center gives us a check. The price of aluminum fluctuates anywhere between 35 to 85 cents a pound. This money is used for our general operating expenses meaning it truly helps in keeping our doors open to continue to serve more than 900 families annually.

While the whole can is valuable as a recyclable, RMHC Charleston does not have the storage capacity to collect the whole can. The aluminum tabs are smaller and easier to handle; they are much easier to handle when large volumes are delivered.

Pop off your tops & bring them to church (look for the gray bin with the pop tops inside a teddy bear container) & we will collect them to give to the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Charleston
