Community Opportunities

  • LGBTQ+ serving organizations from around the state are hosting a virtual town hall on Wednesday, January 29th at 6pm. This event has a statewide focus, bringing together voices from across South Carolina to discuss pressing questions, share concerns, and explore ways to navigate these uncertain times. Registration is required. Please do so here: https://bit.ly/40BqFHR.

    -On February 9th, we will be celebrating "Soup"-er Bowl Sunday in Emmaus Kids. On 2/9, bring in canned soups and place them in the container for the team you hope will win! Will it be the Eagles or the Chiefs? Emmaus Kids will be donating all of the collected canned soups to Sharing God's Love in Irmo. This is a great way for the entire Emmaus community to have fun while helping those in need. If you have questions, please email kara@emmauschurchsc.com.
