SPC Donates $40,000 to Brunswick Partnership for Housing
In keeping with a goal to continue to expand its Mission Ministry outreach, Southport Presbyterian Church has joined forces with other area churches, individuals, organizations and foundations to provide much needed transitional housing through Brunswick Partnership for Housing (BPH).
Over the past several years SPC has been working with individuals facing homelessness to providing funds to cover many nights of emergency respite shelter for clients at cooperating local motels. The church recently donated $40,000 for BHP transitional housing projects in Brunswick County. According to BPH Executive Director Sally Learned, the organization has raised $400,000 of its $600,000 capital campaign goal for a building purchase and renovations on 11th Street in Southport, and a capital reserve fund. Shown from left to right are BHP Vice Chair, The Honorable Judge William F. Farley, Sally Learned, Stephen J. Dillon, BHP Board Chair, SPC Missions Ministry Chair, Bob Lambert, Robb Lapp, SPC Interim Senior Pastor and Jonna Hipp, SPC Associate Pastor.

Thoughts from Jonathan Kelley at the Community Counseling Center
“Be still and know that I am God.” The words from Psalm 46 remind us how to seek emotional and spiritual nurture. The past year has been one of extraordinary challenges for each of us. A global pandemic . . . political uncertainty . . . social unrest. Faced with such overwhelming issues, what are we to do? Sometimes I share some rewording of the verse from Psalm 46 with clients. They despair that their day-to-day life has become so cluttered and hectic. They detail some challenging difficulty and look to me for suggestions of what they might do in response. They are so intent on what to do that they have overlooked their own thoughts, daydreams and devotions.
God has brought us to a new year. As we move into 2021, what are we to do? Learn to appreciate stillness. Don’t apologize for it and don’t compromise it. Decide to be intentional about providing opportunity for emotional and spiritual stillness. In the stillness, let yourself know God. The result may well be a dawning peace. That peace is the source of fulfilling our responsibilities as a spouse, parent, friend and good neighbor. Are you interested in counseling for yourself or someone close?
