The Dillon County Ministerial Alliance (DCMA) held a special Thanksgiving service thanking God for His blessings on Dillon County on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 6:00 p.m., at the City of Dillon Wellness Center.
The Dillon County Ministerial Alliance (DCMA) recognized three of our many ministries in Dillon County: Crisis Pregnancy Center, Free Medical Clinic, and Helping Hands Ministries.
These ministries provide for an opportunity for citizens of Dillon County to receive help that was not available a few years ago.
A special offering for the Carolina Crisis Pregnancy Center was taken during the service and canned goods and other articles were brought by the citizens to help the other ministries.
