Hot. Hot! Hot!! The heavy heat of these last few days has sent most of us into air-conditioned spaces—homes, stores, malls—any place we can be cooler. I don’t think any of us would choose to be sitting around a campfire at noontime roasting marshmal-lows or (perish the thought) have to be out fighting a house fire! “Keep us away from the heat; keep us away from the fire!” would be our cry.

Yet there is a blazing fire we should all be hoping to experience for the first time or to experience afresh. It is the fire of God.

An old writing in the Celtic Christian tradition speaks of such a love divine, saying, “It is a flame of fire from midmost heaven that came down hither into the world, fire that will kindle my stubborn nature, fire that will fill my whole life; it will not fail while God remains in being. I shall never be able to declare, if I should try as long as I live, how pleasant, how sweet, how strong his love is: it is an endless flame that came from mid-most heaven to earth. Thou hast kindled fire in me—the most perfect fire of heaven, which the great seas cannot quench at all. O, a passionate, powerful strong flame of fire has been kindled in heaven; everlasting love it is, that has made a union between God and me.”

In these sizzling summer days may we turn toward God eagerly hoping to be consumed with the fire of God’s love. Though that fire can come when we are alone; it also comes as we fellowship and worship and work together. Take advantage of opportunities in these hot days to be with your church family and to be with Christians from other faith communities where we might find ourselves so near God’s perfect love that we burst into flame—burning with love divine and igniting others! With joy, I continue as your pastor,

~Mary D.

Mary D. shared with the Bible Study Girls last Saturday (before I am writing this) and again with me on Sunday that it is a year since the Holy Spirit sent Ed Valentine and me to Brownwood, Texas to visit with Mary D. The Nominating Committee regularly talked about the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit. We did and I regularly hear comments from you that we did a very good thing. I take no credit. I do not think anyone on the Nominating Committee takes credit. We just listened. I read a Sunday school lesson this morning about listening to the Holy Spirit. The lesson was from the last verses of Haggai, not a book I would bet you spend a whole lot of time studying. The Israelites returned from Babylonian captivity to rebuild the Temple and quickly laid the foundation. They got resistance from their neighbors and construction lapsed for 16 years until Haggai starts listening to the Holy Spirit. Haggai encourages construction to resume. It does and the Temple is rebuilt in several years. I certainly am glad that Ed, Marguerite, Betty, Rob and I did not have physical threats to discourage us from listening. Too often I just do not listen because I like my way. Sometimes my being busy keeps me from listening. Sometime I am just hard headed. But, sometime I do listen and the results of listening are mighty good! I looked over the session minutes and looked for what might be shared. All of what the session does is available and pretty boring to read. Below is extracted from the minutes and edited a little: The Missions and Evangelism team recommends that Family Promise of Lancaster not be supported financially, (see below). This was approved. At their annual meeting 5/27/14 a vote recommending to the Family Promise board that Family Promise Lancaster be dissolved passed with support of the executive director, the president and apparent support of the board. Their executive director also recommends that we, LHPC, not provide additional support. They have assets to continue operating through December. Our lack of support causes no hardship for them. They are struggling to find clients who meet their criteria; temporarily homeless, willing and capable of working, no issues of violence in the family, no emotional/mental challenges in the family, no alcohol or illegal drug usage. Funding from the churches has decreased with congregations seeing fewer clients being served. As the economy has improved, those who meet the above criteria are typically helped by family and friends. Family Promise houses their clients in churches using church people for most interaction with the clients. Family Promise cannot change the criteria without completely changing the way they do business and at a cost many times higher than the current cost. They would need professionals in the field of each relaxed criteria if they relax any criteria. Be in prayer for those who are homeless in Lancaster County. The issue is as bad as ever and there is very little assistance available. Lots of homelessness brings complications. The future of Family Promise is both sad and joyous. We need to offer both prayers of petition and praise. A need has been met and a good work ends because the need ends. Homelessness continues and is an even more difficult issue to deal with. Homelessness is not an issue that is isolated. It is not so much about housing as it is all the things that are causes. Again, let’s be in prayer. The Missions and Evangelism Team is seeking next steps. We do not need to stop supporting ministries for the homeless just because a small need has been met.

Long Ago at Liberty Hill Contributed by Sylvia Hudson

Wateree Messenger – July 25, 1925 Mr. J.P. Richards, Jr., a Clemson graduate who taught in S.C. last year, has been elected principle of the Lancaster Grammar school for the next term. Mr. Rich-ards is a young man of much promise, a son of the late lamented J.P. Richards. He is the youngest of nine children, five girls and four boys, all College graduates, and with one exception all are or have been engaged in that very lauded avocation of teaching. We predict for him a bright future in his chosen line of endeavor. Wateree Messenger – July 24, 1932 About two miles north of this village is located the old Summerville burying ground where lie many of the “old time wealthy and prominent citizens” of this community but for many years the place had been unused and had grown up trees and vines and the rock wall it had fallen down and the place presented quite an unattractive appearance when a few years ago Mr. C.D. Cunningham became interested in the place as some of his fore parents were buried there and had it cleaned up and put in better order. Sometime within the present month of July, some despicable vandals entered the place and tore down the fine marble monument over the grave of Mr. John S. Cun-ningham, removed the heavy stone of the base and dug into the grave… It is hard to realize that we have in this country in this advanced age of education and civilization, men low enough in the “scale” of humanity to commit such a fiendish act upon the remains and burial place of a person who had lain there for nearly a century. There is no clue as to who did the act. Camden Chronicle – July 7, 1944 Recent news from some of our boys in service: Pvt. L.P. Thompson is in Panama; John B. Cureton is in Florida; John Henry Clements is in England, all doing well. A number of young people indulged in a bicycle ride to Camden Monday. Those going were John Thomp-son, Cleary Cunningham, and Misses Jane Higgins, Fay Towne and Virginia McCrea. Camden Chronicle – July 22, 1955 A congregational meeting of the Liberty Hill church was held following the service of worship July 10. A report of the special committee of the board of deacons was heard. Action was taken at this meeting which result-ed in the appointment of a finance committee of five members, Deacons R.J. Wardlaw, J.B. Cureton, J.H. Clem-ents; Elder WC Wardlaw and Louise Johnston, a representative of the Women of the Church. The committee’s task is to secure bids from reputable contractors with view to repairing the present manse to first class condition with a heating system. The committee is also to locate any prospective buyers there might be for the present manse with the understanding that the congregation has the right to reject any or all bids. The third task of this committee is to investigate such possibilities as would pertain to the construction of a new manse at Liberty Hill and to get an estimate of cost of same. Camden Chronicle – July 27, 1957 The upper part of Kershaw county was hard hit by electrical storms, accompanied by hail, strong winds and heavy rains during the week. On Friday afternoon house tops were blown off or damaged and trees were up-rooted in the path of the terrific wind, which was like a cyclone. Camden Chronicle – July 14, 1968 The Home-coming at Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church July 4th was a memorable day for young and old. Dr. McDowell Richards, president of Columbia Technological Seminary, Decatur, Ga., grandson of the church, was guest minister. The church was filled to its capacity with chairs in the aisles. At the conclusion of the church service, James P. Richards, president of the Cemetery Association, presided and explained the goals for future plans for the up-keep of the cemetery. Jack Hunter made a motion to hold home-coming every 3 years instead of 2 years. J.P. Richards, Jr. offered an amendment to Mr. Hunter’s motion to let the trustees of the cemetery decide when another home-coming will be held. Mr. Hunter accepted the amendment, which received unanimous approval. A generous collection was received.

Dear Liberty Hill Presbyterian Family,

It has been a hard month, but we are very thankful for the tremendous support our family received from this beautiful group of people that make up this wonderful congregation. When we were in need you all were there. We thank you for the prayers our family received, the donations that were received, and for those who attended the small service we had.

Our baby grandson had a lot of time in the hospital and fighting for his life during his short seven month existence. We kept most of his struggles to ourselves but when we reached out you all an-swered our call. The warmth we received was so helpful during this very rough time.

Please keep my daughter Victoria Brown and my older grandson Matthew in your prayers as they find their way through this journey. They welcome all the prayers they can get at this time. God bless you all.

Many thanks and gratitude,

Tonia Brown & Duane Hunter

With so much gratitude…

Benny and I are so very grateful and humbled by the outpouring of love from Pastor Mary D'

and from our LHPC family during Benny's recent surgery and my recent hospital stay and out-

patient therapy trying to learn better skills to live with major depression. We have a display of

cards that remind us daily of how much we are loved. I enjoy reading them over and

over. Sometimes we don't realize how many people love us and care so much more than we

imagined until we are at a low point in our life...and they reach out to us with heartfelt prayers,

cards, facebook messages, emails, phone calls, visits, flowers, a listening ear, or maybe you

thought of us during this time. We both feel that our life is so blessed for having each of you

as our friends and our church family. Please continue to pray for us during our healing pro-

cess. Thanks be to God for our many Blessings!

Love in Christ...

June 23, 2014 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: In Jeremiah 29:11, God encourages us with these words, “For surely I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” The 221st General Assembly (2014) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) met June 14 – 21, 2014, in Detroit, Michigan. Many complicated issues came before the Assembly that are of interest to the churches of our presbyteries. Our commissioners, as did those of our sister presbyteries, worshiped, studied, discussed, prayed, and together they made decisions in service to the Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now, over the next two years, commissioners of the 221

st General Assembly (2014), and we, as presbytery

leaders, will be about the business of interpreting and guiding our members and member congregations through the decisions made. There are also decisions which each individual presbytery will have to make. These decisions include pro-posed amendments to the Book of Order and a proposed amendment for inclusion of the Belhar Confession in the Book of Confessions. May we seek to embody the grace and love of our Savior as we engage with these decisions and commit ourselves to one another and to Almighty God as we move forward together in service to Christ’s church. The 221st General Assembly (2014) has taken three significant actions on the teaching and practice of mar-riage, relating to our life together and to the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s Book of Order. First, following a lengthy debate, the Assembly approved, in a 371 to 238 vote, to adopt an “Authoritative Interpretation” (AI) of the Constitution. An AI is an interpretation of the Constitution by the General Assembly or the General Assem-bly Permanent Judicial Commission. It is binding denomination-wide. The AI approved by the Assembly per-mits pastors to marry same-gender couples in churches where it is permitted by state law, even though mar-riage is currently defined in our Constitution as being between a man and a woman. This permission takes effect immediately. Please note: Same-gender marriage is not permitted by state law in South Carolina. Second, the Assembly approved, in a 429 to 175 vote, to recommend rewriting the Book of Order section W-4.900, in which marriage is described as between “a man and a woman”. The new language being proposed for presbytery ratification defines marriage as “a unique commitment between two people, traditionally a man and a woman, to love and to support each other for the rest of their lives.” After several other provisions, it concludes with this important qualification: “Nothing herein shall compel a teaching elder to perform nor compel a session to authorize the use of church property for a marriage service that the teaching el-der or the session believes is contrary to the teaching elder’s or the session’s discernment of the Holy Spirit and their understanding of the Word of God.” Now, unlike an authoritative interpretation, a constitutional amendment is first voted on by the General Assem-bly, but it must be confirmed by the majority of presbyteries before it is effective. This constitutional amend-ment to the Book of Order will require ratification by a majority of the 171 presbyteries. The constitutional amendment to the Book of Confession will require ratification by a two-thirds majority of the 171 presbyteries. Therefore, each presbytery will vote on these constitutional amendments sometime within the next year. All church councils are under the authority of the Constitution. Third, the 221st General Assembly (2014) also directed the Presbyterian Mission Agency Board (PMAB) and the Committee on the Office of the General Assembly (OGA) to engage in the process of working together with churches in the task of reconciliation. The reconciliation process will start with visits to each presbytery. The PMAB and OGA will serve as a resource for each presbytery’s discussion of these actions in

congregations and the presbytery at-large, as they present voices of reconciliation for the unity of the church. Each of our five presbyteries will be moving ahead with plans to report on actions of the General Assembly. This will include receiving reports from our commissioners, providing opportunities for members to ask ques-tions, and preparing ourselves to vote on proposed changes to the Constitution. We recognize that other issues that the 221st General Assembly approved will be a cause for joy for some and concern for others. One of those issues is the divestment from three U.S. companies involved in the Is-raeli/Palestinian conflict in the Middle East. After more than a three-hour debate, the Assembly approved, in a 310 to 303 vote, an overture calling for divestment from Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, and Motorola Solu-tions. Also included in this mailing is a resource on Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on this decision made by the Assembly. Here is a brief outline of Middle East divestment decision: After a 10-year history of attempted engagement with Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, and Motorola Solutions, the 221st Assembly directed the church to divest its holdings in these three companies, as they violate the denomination’s policy of not profiting from “non-peaceful pursuits.” The action affirms Israel’s right to exist securely. It disavows association with or endorse-ment of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement. It does not call for divestment from Israel or economic boycotts. The church maintains significant investments in companies that do business in Isra-el. Another important note is that the Assembly stated the following concerning the controversial study called Zionism Unsettled: The General Assembly “declares that Zionism Unsettled does not represent the views of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)” If there are other issues which are of concern to you, please contact your presbytery leadership and commis-sioners to the 221st General Assembly. We will be glad to assist you in any manner that we can. We are aware that there are those who are rejoicing and there are others who are weeping, due to some of the actions of the 221st General Assembly. Therefore, one of the challenges before us is whether or not we are able to exercise mutual forbearance with brothers and sisters who differ from us. Can we show a more excellent way by remaining together in love and forbearance amid our differences? Can we model the way of living that Scripture calls us to embrace: “rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15)? Moreover, Jesus says, “…go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20). The Lord is with us. Therefore, let us fix our focus on following Christ’s commission to go and make disciples, baptizing and teaching them. Praying that it may be so, we remain, Yours in Jesus Christ, Bruce E. Ford T.
