Our Campus of the Week this week is our most recent addition, the Manning campus. Manning began in 2006 as a video venue of Carolina Forest Community Church in Myrtle Beach. During a pastoral transition Carolina Forest asked if Seacoast would adopt the campus. After meeting with Campus Pastor Jim Fleming and his wife Paula we knew that this would be a great match and we brought them into the Seacoast family. Seacoast Manning was officially launched on May 5. One of the unique things about Manning is that they our first campus with video worship. They had their first 1st Wednesday service after only 9 weeks of meeting together as a campus. We are excited to see what is going to happen this fall in this beautiful lake community 60 miles from Charleston.
Here are some pictures from Manning:

Tidbits
1. Manning population is around 4000 people. We are averaging 68 people for the month of June and 79 since launch. Our giving has exceeded expectations, averaging $1624 per week since launch! Remember, its summer, too!! Can’t wait for school to start back!
2. We collected $495 for One Prayer offering!
3. We continue to grow as more and more people from Long Point tell friends about us – you all sure do get around! Or else, you all own lakefront property!! Either way, thanks.
4. Our volunteers number on average, 26 each week. We hand out about 4 welcome packets each week.
According to an article in USA Today scientists believe that wildfires offset global warming. Apparently these fires put out so much smoke that the Arctic actually gets cooler the more the wildfires burn. So in reality (and I am NOT recommending reality here) I can either sell my SUV, use recycled toilet paper and agree to never produce methane gas ever again OR set my neighbor's shrubs on fire and have the same net effect on global warming. Don't get me wrong I want to be as green as the next guy, but if lighting a petunia gets it done I'm firing up the Zippo.
