In John 21:17b, Peter passionately exclaims to Jesus,
“Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”
Jesus’ response to Peter is one of equal passion - “Feed
My sheep.” Through the Janie Chapman State Missions
Offering, we, as South Carolina Baptists have the opportunity to give and pray so that more may be “fed” –
physically and spiritually, through a variety of ministries.
You may give to the Janie Chapman Offering for SC State
Missions, anytime during the month of September. Offering envelopes are available in the pews.
State Goal: $1,850,000
Our Church Goal: $2,000
