16th Annual Blessing of the Inlet

 

2012 "Blessing of the Inlet"

 

Mission Statement:

To create a festival filled with worship, food, fun and fellowship and highlighted by a "Blessing" ceremony that celebrates our Christian heritage and gives thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for His continued blessings in our Inlet Community, while generating funds for many missions, charities and nonprofit organizations.

"SEE YA' SATURDAY!!!"

Of course we are talking about the 16th annual "Blessing of the Inlet" celebration! As always, it is held the First Saturday of May, and this year is no exception!!

Belin Memorial United Methodist Church is so excited to be hosting this event.

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

With over 75 arts and crafts vendors showcasing their wonderful handmade goods a virtual treasure trove awaits you. Whether it is the beautiful paintings or handmade jewelry, there is something for everyone! Don't forget about all the delicious food prepared by some of Murrells Inlet's finest restaurants! Also, to tempt you, we have our incredible children's events, which include face and hair painting, numerous inflatables, climbing wall, and the ever popular "Dunking Tank" where they can take turns trying to "dunk" your friends.

There will also be a full day of outstanding entertainment featuring dance troops, gospel choirs, contemporary Christian musicians, and more.

This festival is highlighted by the "Blessing of the Inlet" Ceremony which starts at 11:30a.m. The blessing will be administered by the Reverend Dr. Mike Alexander and the Reverend Marty Nason.

There is no admission or parking charge and the event will be held rain or shine. So come help us celebrate the Glory of God and all He has "blessed" us with!

We are NOT associated with The Blessing of the Fleet.

Due to Belin's focus on the people and lives of Murrells Inlet and the surrounding South Strand, the "Blessing of the Inlet" does not include the blessing of animals.

"See Ya' Saturday" has developed into the "Blessings" official slogan.

All of the Grand Strand and the surrounding areas will be saying very soon...

"See Ya' Saturday!!!"

CONWAY PARKS, RECREATION & TOURISM

 

WELCOME WEDNESDAYS…

 

CONWAY- The Conway Visitor Center is continuing the “Welcome Wednesdays” tour series this month   “down by the river” with a guided tour of the Conway Riverwalk and the Historic Warehouse District.  

 

The Conway Riverwalk is one of the area’s most engaging landmarks-a tranquil riverside walk that offers spectacular scenic beauty and a chance to soak up warm sunshine and cool river breezes as you stroll past a series of historic sites that define Conway as “South Carolina’s Historic Rivertown.”

 

The tour will begin each Wednesday at 1:00pm and the fee is $3.00 per person.  Attendees will meet at the Conway Visitor Center located at 903 Third Avenue.

 

Plan to come early enough to enjoy a great lunch at one of the fabulous downtown eateries and do some browsing in the unique specialty shops.  A visit to Conway’s Riverwalk offers warm sunshine, cool river breezes, and spectacular scenery (bring your camera).  Visit the Conway Marina Store for a hot dog lunch and some hand dipped ice cream!  It’s easy to spend the day in Historic Conway.

 

The “Welcome Wednesdays” program is presented by Conway Parks, Recreation & Tourism.  For more information and to make reservations for the tour, please email visitor@sccoast.net or call Betty Molnar, Visitor Coordinator at the Conway Visitor Center at (843) 248-1700.
