and did not let my enemies gloat over me. Lord my God, I called to You for help,
and You healed me.
You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; You spared me from going down to the pit.
Sing the praises of the Lord, you, His faithful people;
praise His holy name. For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
“Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning”
The ESV tells us that JOY comes in the morning. The Message says, ”The nights of cry-
ing your eyes out give way to days of laughter.”
This is the Easter story. There was darkness, and now there is a great light. The light
shines brighter than the darkness. Where there is light, there can be no darkness whatso-
ever!
On Easter, we celebrate the Light of the world. We celebrate the resurrection of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. We celebrate this joy, the rejoicing, this day of laughter. We do a
great job of celebrating Easter...the church is full, or overcrowded; we are excited to be here; we are excited to sing and worship. What about the other 364 days of the year? Do
we live in the joy? Or are we living in the darkness, weeping, crying? There is a season for
weeping, and a season for crying and mourning. But the Easter message is the message of Joy, the message of laughter. We can have the joy of the Lord year round. The Lord our
God wants us to live in HIS joy.
My prayer for you, me, our entire congregation, and the community is that we can live in this JOY of the Lord. Yes, there will be hard times, sad times, times of mourning, but God
gives us HIS joy and we can live in that joy each and every day.
If you have never really experienced the Joy that only Christ can give us, the peace that
passes all understanding, my door is open. Please come by to talk to me. God’s joy, like
HIS love, is AMAZING!

A Cow for Kenya
The SALT Youth are in the process of raising $500 to purchase a cow
for a needy family in Kenya. Through World Vision, caring Christians can
donate funds that will enable a Third World family to own their own cow
which enables them to become self-sufficient and productive. With this in
mind, the youth have decided to raise $500 in honor of Martha Henry,
President of the PIPC Youth Council and a graduating senior in our youth
program.
Congratulations, Martha! We love you!

NOTE: SPRING BREAK Georgetown County Schools April 1-5, 2013
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the willing hands that helped
with the Lenten Luncheon that was held at PIPC. Ben Vincent, thank you for set-
ting up 25 tables and a zillion chairs and thanks to you, Kimmie Tomlinson, for dec-
orating those tables! They were truly beautiful!
Cari Brown, Irene Dent, Pam Gaddy, Mary Holman, Martha McCall, Millie McNeil,
Barbara Neely, and Martha Wahl-thanks to all of you for making sandwiches, set-
ting the tables, serving soup, and cleaning up! What a job! A very special thank-
you to the 20 ladies that baked “homemade” cookies that were served at the
luncheon. They were delicious!
“CHECK YOUR DRAWERS AGAIN,
PLEASE!”
Once again, the children of PIPC will be visiting Brookgreen Gardens this summer so you know what I’m about to ask for-passes! Could you check your drawers for any passes that you won’t need and that would help our children be able to visit one of our state’s “Treasures”? If you have any passes, please bring them to my office or ask Tina to put them in my box. Thanks so much for your help. We have visit-ed Brookgreen Gardens for many summers because of the generosity of you, the mem-bers of PIPC.

Sanctuary Choir
Thank you for your beautiful music during the Lenten and Easter season at
PIPC. We cherish the wonderful music traditions of Pawleys Island Presbyterian
Church and are thankful for our choir and its faithful service in worship. We
would like to see more of our church family participating in our worship services
through music. If you have a musical gift to share or would like to participate in
any of the choirs and ensembles at PIPC, we welcome you. We would love to see
people of all ages in our Sanctuary Choir and ensembles – His Voice, Bel Canto,
Alleluia Ringers and Winds of Praise. You may call Sylvia at 843-237-4581, ext. 27
or email at [email protected] if you have questions or need more infor-
mation, see the calendar, newsletters and bulletins for all rehearsal dates and times.
PIPC Children’s Choir
Our kids will be hitting the Old Testament books in
April and soon the challenge will be on for our adults. Do
you know the books of the Bible? Can you sing them? In
April, our children’s choir will be back to their scripture
assignments and how our music can bring those words,
principles and stories to life. All kids, first through fifth
grade are invited. BRING A FRIEND!
Alleluia Ringers
Our handbell choir needs a couple of ringers.
What about you? Ringing is a wonderful experience
for musical expression, ensemble participation and
growth as a musician. If you think you might be in-
terested, let me know. If you are unsure about your
skills and ability to participate, ask me.
Worship Opportunities, Today and Tomorrow
Youth and adults, if you are interested in participating in a more contemporary
style of worship, outside of our normal traditional worship which is a vital part of the
worship experience at PIPC, we need to hear from you. We are seeking to nurture
and involve a variety of worship styles in a variety of settings in the days ahead but as
you know, with any community experience there must be participation and involve-
April 21st & 24th Chapter #30 Paul’s Final Days Acts 20-23, 27-28; Ephesians 1-6; 2 Timothy 1-4
April 28th Chapter #31 The End of Time Revelation 1-5, 19-22

Page 12 J.O.Y. School
J.O.Y. School is a place where people understand me. They are kind to me and they wait for me no
matter how long it takes me to move myself.
At J.O.Y. School I get to spend time with my friends who are like me in many ways and who enjoy
being with me.
J.O.Y. School is fun.
J.O.Y. School is loud. . .with laughter, taking, screeching, and singing.
J.O.Y. School is music and dancing.
J.O.Y. School is gardening and farming. Feeling the dirt, planting the seeds, spilling the water. . .and
that is okay.
J.O.Y. School is painting and cutting and pasting and coloring. . .and making a mess or a grand artis-
tic creation.
J.O.Y. School is so many people coming together to share goodness and kindness and love.
J.O.Y. School is thankful. Always thankful to God for everything each day brings.

The Blessing of the J.O.Y. School Greenhouse

J.O.Y. School. On March 23rd, Frank and Carter led a service
of dedication for the greenhouse. The J.O.Y. University mem-
bers have already planted a variety of seeds and are waiting
for them to bloom and grow.
Church Clean-Up Day Page 13
CHURCH CLEAN-UP DAY The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming,
the pollen is falling and you know what that means-
It’s time to spruce up PIPC from the INSIDE-OUT!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! We’re having a Church Clean-Up Day on Saturday, April
13th from 8:30 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. Last year we had over 70 people working and we
need to exceed that number this year! We will need people to work inside and outside all
of the buildings as well as on the grounds. If you would be willing to help, please complete
the bottom of this insert and return it to the church office or put it in the offering plate.
This is one small way that you can give back to PIPC and God. Lunch will be provided for
everyone that helps beautify PIPC!
