Tragedies in our NationTHE VIDEO IMAGES OF THE OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS IN LOUISIANA AND

MINNESOTA, AS WELL AS THE SHOOTING OF POLICE OFFICERS IN DALLAS,

WILL REMAIN WITH US LONG AFTER WE HAVE VIEWED THEM.

Our newspapers and computers are filled with the images ofthese vicious attacks. They are deeply disturbing and painful to watch. As a people of faith committed to social justice andopposed to gun violence and racism, we grieve for the lives lostand destroyed by these acts of violence. Even in the wake of thegun violence in Orlando, we come again to a time to examine andset for ourselves specific goals. These goals should be a faithstatement of witness, advocacy and prayer.

Therefore we are called to witness not only as faithful disciples but to witness to the world the injustices we see and experience. We are called to serve as advocates for our beliefs and in thisparticular context to clearly be advocates opposed to racism in any form and in firm opposition to gunviolence. We are called to pray. Prayer is powerful. Let us all unite in prayer for these victims of racismand gun violence and their families.

As followers of Christ, we have a sacred calling to lead our communities in tearing down thewalls that divide us and to engage in ministries of reconciliation. Let us continue to pray and be committed to the hard work of peacemaking in our communities.

This is my prayer for the people of Louisiana, for the people of Minnesota, for the people ofDallas and for the people of our nation and world.

Grace and Peace,Bishop Jonathan HolstonResident Bishop of the South Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church

Prayer is powerful.Let us all unite in prayer.

The Evolutionby Bob Spear

THEY FILED OUT, 131 YOUTH AND ADULTS IN ALL. THEY LEFT SHANDON’S SANCTUARYAT THE CLOSE OF SUNDAY’S 11:00 A.M. WORSHIP SERVICE, WAVING GOOD-BYE TO THE COMFORTS OF HOME FOR A WEEK OF LABOR AND BATTLING INSECTS IN THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA’S LOWCOUNTRY.

They can’t wait. They keep coming back for more ... for anotheropportunity to reach out to the less fortunate, to share God’s loveand to serve others. This is Shandon’s Youth Mission Project,which unfolded for the 38th time on July 10 and again put meaning into the words of St. Francis of Assisi: For it is in the giving that we receive.

The logistics are daunting. There is money to raise, projects to plan, material to buy and meals toprepare. There are roofs to be replaced, siding to be installed, plumbing to be repaired and houses tobe painted. There is Bible School taught by the “God Squad” and a small version of Meals on Wheels.There is all of that and yet, the one week in July is only a part of a year-long outpouring of love.

This is now. Back then, in the beginning, in 1979, the YMP had humble origins. The story from then to now

begins like many others: Once upon a time . . . . In this case, once upon a time, Rev. Susan Ulmer, thenShandon’s Associate Pastor who oversaw the youth program, had the “light-bulb moment,” coming upwith the idea of a mission project for high-schoolers. She shared her thought with Carolyn Hall, thenShandon’s Youth Coordinator, and the plan began to take shape. The Youth Council approved, and a trip to the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky launched what would become an annual affair.

“We did things like build pig pens,” Susan Ulmer, now retired, says in recalling that first year. “We didn’t have that many who participated, but we did have a good experience. We looked ahead andhoped we could find something closer.”

They did; they found Rural Missions that served five islands, now four, below Charleston, and theirfirst trip, in 1980, to the South Carolina Lowcountry consisted of 3 women and 14 youth. Compared totoday, they encountered primitive conditions. Their construction work centered on outhouses. Theirlodging was a church sanctuary, there was no place to prepare meals and there were with no showers.

They “made do.”“The young people adapted and had wonderful experiences,” Carolyn Hall, a long-time Shandon

member, says. “We went to the fire station or high school and used their showers. The kids all had oneday of being responsible for meals. But we were able to do what we needed to do, and that was to serve and spread the word of God.”

“One of the great things is establishing relationships with the people and also the youth with eachother,” Susan Ulmer says. “Those relationships grew through the years, and that’s been a wonderfulthing. Prayer, serving, sharing Jesus’ love ... it’s all part of discipleship.”

The YMP grew into a “must-do” activity for Shandon’s youth. By 1990, 60 youth and counselorsmade the trip to Hollywood, SC. By 2008, the number had ballooned to the maximum in the 130 range.Adults became fixtures, volunteering their time to provide direction in the ever-increasing projects ortaking over the cooking chores.

“The young people learn about others and about each other, and it’s amazing how it has grown,”says Lesli Wood, a participant in the early YMPs and now Shandon’s Director of Christian Education andPrograms. “We have 3 adults and 7 or 8 youth at each job site, the projects are larger with more of them,and we have a refrigerated truck there with the food. That’s how much it’s changed over the years.”

However, some things have not changed. There are powerful lessons for young people. They seeanother side of life. They see how they can make a difference helping one person at a time. They learnto serve and want to serve more.

They see howthey can make a difference.
