The Chimes Vol. LI No. 6 Web Edition June 2014

Dear Friends,

The mess is upon us, and that is good news…mostly. After an extended period of planning and negotiation, the renovation portion of our capital improvements project is set to begin in early June. During this summer and fall, Durham’s C.T. Wilson Construction Company, our general contractor, will be installing a sprinkler system throughout the church, as well as fitting new energy-efficient exterior windows, renovating bathrooms and adding an additional bathroom downstairs, and doing some work to bring more light into the church narthex.

As I said, that is “mostly” good news. With the renovations will come disruptions, as we have to move out of sections of the building for periods of time. The staff and many volunteers have been packing up for the move, and we have enlisted a moving company to help. We thank you in advance for your patience, as we adjust to various door and hallway closings or when later in the summer, we move worship to the Fellowship Hall for some weeks.

We are still working with neighbors and the town on securing the necessary approvals for the new construction. We have been frustrated at times by the pace of those negotiations, but we are hopeful that we can begin work on the new addition next winter or spring. I am deeply grateful to the members of the Building Committee for their diligence in taking all the necessary steps to move the project forward, and I thank you for your patience.

The Session has been gracious to offer me a summer sabbatical this year, so I will be away as the disruptions start. I am a bit sad to be leaving my staff colleagues at such a time, but I am confident they will handle everything quite well. Anna Pinckney Straight will provide staff leadership for the summer, and I ask that you lend her your encouragement and aid.

In addition to some travel and some resting, I plan to meet with some seasoned pastors and church consultants on ways to ensure congregational health and vitality through times of transition. Given all that we have going on these next two years, I believe those conversations will be helpful. I hope you have a gracious and good summer, and I trust you will remember that the church’s ministries continue through the summer months and deserve your presence and your support. I will look forward to seeing you in September.

Grace and peace,

Robert E. Dunham, Pastor

Youth Summer Tr ips a t UPC

Sunday, June 15 - Saturday, June 21 - Montreat Worship and Music Conference

Sunday, July 13 - Saturday, July 19 - Appalachia Service Project

Sunday, July 27 - Saturday, August 2 - Montreat Youth Conference

Meet Our Summer In tern ! Anna Richardson is a rising sophomore at UNC from Greensboro, North Carolina. Anna loves the creative arts, especially dancing and singing, and is a Biology major and Chemistry minor. She is very much invested in our Presbyterian Campus Ministry program here at UPC.

Anna grew up at Alamance Presbyterian Church in Greensboro, where she was heavily involved in her youth group and participated in service trips to DC and youth conferences at Montreat, as well as other sites around the country. Of these trips, Anna said, “I truly believe that the experiences I had in these places worked to expand my understanding of the Christian faith.” We agree, Anna! And we are so glad to have her on board for our many youth trips this summer. Be sure to meet Anna in worship on June 8.

Univers i ty Presbyter ian Pr eschool Wrap Up UPPS has wrapped up another fantastic year. The teach-

ers and I continue to feel so blessed by the opportunity

to work with the young children of our church and our

community! As we took down the artwork and packed

up our materials, it was bittersweet. We look forward to a

rest but still have such great memories from the year.

This year, we took our packing up to a whole new level!

With the renovation work being done in the preschool

classrooms this summer, we have packed up all of our

supplies and furniture. We look forward to having a new

child-size restroom in the hallway by our Two’s and

Three’s classroom. And we are glad for the much-needed

updates in the sprinkler system, doors and windows.

While it may look like quite the construction site over the summer, the work will be completed in time for UPPS to get started

again in the fall. We would like once again to thank UPC for all of the support we have received throughout the year!

~ Ellen Parker, UPPS Director

Summer Trips with our youth are all about living in community with one another and grow-

ing in relationship with God as we serve others and expand our

perspective. Keep our youth and adults in your prayers as they

travel together this summer.

While renovations are taking place in our building, our nursery will have a new home this summer. Starting June 1, our nursery

will be located in Room 226 on the upstairs hallway near the parking lot end (usually the 5th grade classroom). To get there

from the Sanctuary, leave through the doors on the font side. Walk down the hall, and you’ll run directly into it. Stay tuned for

another move in mid July.

Our Nurser y Has Moved!

Renova t ions a t UPC Have Be gun

A few areas are off limits during the first phase of work. We do not have access to the Fellowship Hall and Landing, the Cam-

pus Ministry wing, the Memorial Garden or the entire downstairs portion of the building, including the Youth Center, Garden

Room, Nursery (new location—see below), all classrooms, Fellowship Hall Kitchen and the Stephen Ministry Room.

Note that we cannot use the entrances and exits at

Henderson St., the Youth Center or the entrance

going directly on the playground. You may enter

and exit the building at the parking lot door (and

go up the stairs) or through the doors at the front

and side of the Sanctuary (the front is an accessible

entrance). We will provide another update when

we start a new phase of renovations in mid-July.


2013-2014 Conf i rma t ion Class Our 2013-2014 Confirmation class was confirmed on Sunday, May 18. This class spent this past school year studying scripture,

the history of the Church, Presbyterian polity and governance, as well as exploring their own foundation of faith.

A day-long retreat in August started the year off by encouraging youth to think about why being part of a church family is so

important. A service retreat in the winter helped our confirmands put their faith in action.

Finally, writing their Statements of Faith this spring helped them put what they believe into words. This has been an outstand-

ing class, and these youth will be leaders here at UPC and wherever their faith journey takes them.

A Spr ing Upda te on the

Anne McClamroch McFal l Memor ia l Garden

“At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring, we remember them.” These words from an old Jewish prayer cap-ture a central aspect of our church garden. It is indeed a place of remembrance, a place for remembering lost loved ones, lost friends, lost church members. Though cherished and nurturing, these memories may also be at times a source of pain and sorrow. Hopefully the garden serves as a place for healing, as a respite from a wea-rying world, as a place for prayer

and reflection, and as a place to find solace and peace. During this past year, the cremated remains of ten of our church members were scattered or buried in the garden, and their names were engraved on the granite panels. A small pot of river stones is provided for those wishing to place one on the ledge to mark a visit and to leave in remembrance of a loved one.

With the beauty of the opening buds, spring also brings a time of hope, rebirth, and renewal. We once again look with awe on the beauty of God’s crea-tion. The camellias and cherry trees under the parlor window ushered in the blooming sea-son. Daffodils soon followed with their burst of yellow, and the spring starflower (Ipheion uniflorum) added a splash of pastel blue along the lower level border. Eskimo and canoy viburnums were showy in white. The severe cold winter limited the contribution of two old friends, sweet box and ‘Spring Bouquet’ viburnum. The sweet boxes border the upper level, have beautiful foliage and usually offer a sweet fragrance in late winter from tiny white blooms.

They were severely damaged by the cold nights, have had to be cut back harshly, and may have to be replaced with a more cold hardy vari-ety. The viburnum was less damaged but the buds were nipped. Watch for the line of bay magnolias to offer

their small yellowish flowers with a lemony scent. The wisteria has been a lovely sight covering the arbor with flashes of blue-purple cascades. We have Wisteria frutescens, a native plant of the southeastern United States. In contrast with the Asian vari-eties, it flowers in more dense, compact clusters and is not ruthlessly invasive.

The garden gets weekly attention from members of the Gar-den Committee and faithful volunteers. Periodic work days afford doing more involved pruning, planting, and clean up. Sebastian Hamilton from Unique Plants is a reliable source of professional advice and does the more demanding pruning. The latter is a critical element in an interior garden with limited space. The magnolia trees have required special attention of late. They are partially deciduous and with the pruning have looked a bit bare this winter but are be-ginning to leaf out.

The granite panels contain only names and dates of birth and death. Recognizing that this leaves out so much of value that acknowledges a person’s uniqueness, under Anna’s leadership, the deacons and church staff have been working to preserve such material in a Book of Remembrance. This commendable ef-fort may include photographs, biography, memorial service bulletin, obituary, and other items of interest for each person. They welcome submissions. Information and materials may be sent to: University Presbyterian Church, Attn: Anna Pinckney Straight P.O. Box 509, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Please state if you would like these materials returned after they are scanned or copied.

Enjoy the spring and enjoy the garden!

I always wanted to go on the UPC mission trip to Haiti, but each spring, there seemed to be something else going on. I promised myself this year would be different. My last child went off to college in the fall, and I needed a diversion from my “empty nest.” So I signed up—not really knowing what to expect but excited about the possibility of seeing a new part of the world. As the trip got closer, I got more and more nerv-ous. I had read and heard so much about the poverty in Hai-ti—it being the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Plus, I was intimidated by the general devastation of the coun-try from the earthquake of 2010, multiple hurricanes, and vast deforestation, as well as the lack of clean water and prevalence of diseases like Typhoid, Malaria, and Cholera. I started to doubt whether I had anything to offer these people who need-ed so much. However, Lisa Lord’s words of advice, “just show up and stay open to the opportunity,” gave me comfort.

We left on Friday, April 11, five of us from Greensboro and the other four from RDU, and met up in Miami for the two hour trip to Port-au-Prince. Of the nine of us, six people had experienced Haiti before and three of us were new. Once we arrived in Haiti, Kay Leaman guided us through the airport, to our waiting transportation, and on to our destination. Despite my initial trepidation, Kay’s experience and calmness kept me totally at ease throughout the initial chaotic trip to the guest house (and the entire trip). The other five experienced folks on the trip also helped to put the new people at ease by their pleased reactions at how much the country had improved since the earthquake and how much better the conditions were in general. I found myself feeling very hopeful. Once situated at the guest house, we began the mission work that we were there to do.

The primary purpose of the trip was to conduct four sets of professional development workshops for teachers from schools in Port-au-Prince, the surrounding rural area, and Jac-mel on the southern coast of Haiti. The workshops, designed by Lisa Lord and Annette Munson, were organized around a

theme of the moon and helped the teachers to learn the im-portance of teaching literacy to younger students with books written and read in Creole and to experience the active learn-ing process first-hand through science lessons. We also facili-tated an activity illustrating Bible passages in order to empha-size the ability to reinforce the meaning of text with pictures and a music activity where the teachers learned about follow-ing directions and making music simultaneously. The work-shops led by Lisa and Annette (and translated by our Creole interpreters Jude and Andre) were an overwhelming success with the teachers enthusiastically engaged in the active learning process and coming away with many new materials and ideas of how to teach children. There was also much singing and laughing throughout the day. Though we didn’t understand all that was said and shared by the teachers, we all got the general sense that they were excited at the opportunity to learn and grow in their chosen profession and to spend time commun-ing with fellow teachers. The last workshop was actually led by teachers who had been participants at a workshop from earlier in the week. It was rewarding to see these teachers take ownership of the knowledge and materials and share them with their fellow teachers. As a group, we were able to sit back, observe the interaction, and help out as needed. In addi-tion to the teacher workshops, we also got to spend time in the classrooms at one of the schools going through the mu-sic, science, and literacy activities with kindergarten through 6th grade students. It was great fun to see the children’s eyes light up at the chance to interact with content in a much dif-ferent way.

Our secondary mission was to distribute approximately 300 dresses made by members of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Durham to three rural churches. Pat Gunter, a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church and former par-ticipant in the Haiti mission trip, organized the making of the dresses for the trip as a way to allow other people to help with

by Lauren Mann


Ref lec t ions on the 2014 Hai t i Mission Tr ip

by Lauren Mann

the mission. The dresses were all made from pillowcases and material gathered by the members of the church. Pat orga-nized several sewing bees to gather members together for fel-lowship and to crank out a lot of dresses! These dresses were precious and a huge hit with the girls of all ages in the rural churches. Each church received over 90 dresses to distribute to their congregation. During the distribution, we had a mini-fashion show at a church in rural Duplan—I haven’t seen teenage girls so happily engaged in an activity in quite a while!

Finally, our last purpose was to follow up on the contacts made with churches, schools, and other organizations in years past and to check out some of the efforts of UPC’s Global Outreach Committee. At the school in Duplan, we were able to see the stove that University Presbyterian Church purchased last year. With this stove in place, Pastor Enock told us that

the school is able to feed over 350 students every day. Having the stove in place also helps the school to be eligi-ble for federal food grants for the children. For me, it was won-derfully reward-ing to actually see

the results of our church’s global outreach effort in person. We followed up with a group called CODEP and saw the suc-cess of a reforestation project started in Haiti over 20 years ago. Through the reforestation program run by Haitian peo-ple, several communities are re-planting thousands of trees and helping community members to be more self-sufficient grow-ing food for their families and to bring to market. Our guide was very proud of the effort that his country was making to improve the lives of its people. We also had the chance to visit the Family Health Ministries guest house and to hear about the work they are doing to bring healthcare to preg-nant women and their babies in some of the most remote areas of Haiti.

I can say without reservation that this was one of the best trips I have ever taken. I am so grateful to my fellow travelers for their acceptance of a newbie, as well as their willingness to share their time and talent with Haiti and with me. I am amazed and heartened by the warmth of the Haitian people and the richness of culture and everyday life. The connection that our church has maintained with the people of Haiti is an extremely important link for them and for us. Everywhere we

went, we were wel-comed with open arms and ac-ceptance. Everyone who had met Kay, Annette, Lisa, Mark, Carolyn, and Pat on past trips hugged and welcomed them back. Then they turned to the three new people and welcomed us with the same enthusi-asm and warmth. What Haiti lacks in material wealth is more than made up for in wealth of spirit and personal relationships. I hope and pray that we made a difference in Haiti in the short time we were there, but I know for certain that I came away a much richer person after this trip.
