- The Latest Separationist: Download the September 2010 issue of the newsletter of the SHL. Our newsletter is produced each month from September until May. It is always available here in PDF format and is mailed to active SHL members.
- Action Alert!!! Help prevent Spartanburg from making a mistake...: Spartanburg is about to vote on the question of whether their council should select an official chaplain to pray before their meetings by a vote. Praying before governmental meetings is bad enough, but picking the chaplain by a vote is a HORRIBLE idea. Religion should not be determined by majority vote. Help out by following the link and writing to the council members.
- SHL Picnic!: Our summer picnic is coming up on June 13th at the Wando Shelter at James Island County Park.
- Charitable Causes Do Not Take a Summer Vacation: Most SHL activities are presently on "summer hiatus". This includes our regular monthly meetings as well as the "Charity of the Quarter" and "Volunteer Network" activities. But, deserving charities need our help 24/7! Of course, you can always do good deeds on your own without the SHL, but if you'd like to make a donation to a worthy cause through the SHL (which helps us both), follow this link to donate to "The Teacher's Supply Closet".
- MAY POTLUCK PARTY -- MAY 23RD! (Note Special Time): There has been some confusion because our monthly meetings are usually on the third Sunday of the month, but note that this month's Potluck Party will be on Sunday the 23rd! See here for more information.

Billboard The billboard we placed on I-26 in January 2009 was unlike any which had ever appeared in South Carolina and so generated a great deal of public interest.
It had a brief message, one emblazoned on a background of a blue cloud-filled sky. It read, "Don't Believe in God? You Are Not Alone." followed by the address of this website. Similar billboards have recently appeared in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and New York City among other cities nationwide.
The purpose of the campaign is not to offend, but to let people know that it is OK to be openly nonreligious and to introduce people to the Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry.
