A centralized Crisis Assistance Hotline has been established to take in and manage calls for assistance in the wake of Hurricane Florence, which is poised to strike along the coast of South Carolina or North Carolina late Thursday or Friday:
800-451-1954
This hotline is part of an effort by volunteer organizations statewide – including the South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church – to coordinate response to those who need help after the storm.
UMCSC Disaster Response teams will coordinate their efforts solely through this hotline.
Pastors and churches are encouraged to share this information with their congregations and communities to ensure people who need help after the storm will get it in a timely manner.

All men are invited to join us for a time of fellowship, learning, and sharing. The weekend planners want participants to have a weekend of fun and spirituality. They are excited to share faith stories, to fellowship, to make new friends, and to become better disciples of Jesus Christ.
