      <image:caption>We are accepting donations for Tricounty Family Ministries with the greatest needs being: Food - (non-perishable food items that are unopened) Items that are always in demand include canned fruit, family-size boxes of cold cereal, canned meats, and canned green beans and peas. Toiletries – We serve a sizable homeless population in North Charleston that can use travel-sized bottles of hygiene items. We also distribute your donations of full-sized toiletries to families in need. Diapers – Due to the Pandemic, the Charleston Area Diaper Bank has been closed so our demand has increased quite a bit. Larger sizes (3 and up) are the most frequently requested but anything offered is gratefully received. Feminine Hygiene Items – When women are managing a very thin budget, feminine hygiene items often fall at the bottom of the list of what they can afford.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Us - Pastor Craig Versprille</image:title>
      <image:caption>What a joy it is to extend greetings on behalf of the congregation of Messiah Lutheran Church. Messiah Lutheran is a warm, caring congregation ready to embrace all who come into its midst. It will not take you long to discover that God’s family, in this place, strives to find ways to share the Good news of God’s love in Christ and to be a community rich in the relationships that matter most. “Home” is a word that captures for many what they experience here. Growing together we worship, we serve, we laugh, we cry, we learn, and we reach out with God’s life-transforming love. We are delighted to welcome you to our family and invite you to share more fully in our fellowship. If you are new to the community, or, if you have been thinking, praying, or hoping for a place to belong – we welcome you! - Pastor Versprille The Rev. Craig W. Versprille (Pastor Craig) is a native of Rochester, NY and a graduate of The University of Rochester and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. He has served congregations in Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC and has been the pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church since June 2000. He is married to Linda Versprille, a strings teacher at Cane Bay High School, and together they are the parents of three children and six beautiful grandchildren.</image:caption>
