Volume 26, Issue 1, 2016 The Liberty Hill Connection Over the years I have counseled Christians who are living together in an intimate relationship and contemplating marriage. I assure them that once they are married their relationship will be different than the one they are presently experiencing. Sometimes that remark has resulted in blank stares; sometimes it has elicited retorts tinged with self - righteous emotion, but more often than not it has opened the door to conversation about how that could possibly be. I confess that, though it is a mystery to me, I have come to see that it is true. Once you are legally married,I tell them, having stood in the presence of God, surrounded by Christian witnesses, and having made your promises of commitment to each other, every aspect of your relationship will shift, becoming richer, fuller, deeper and more rewarding.To help them try to grasp that truth I tell them about what happened in husband Dave s and my hearts and spirits and minds on the day our infant daughters adoption was declared legal and binding by the state in which we lived. In the weeks and months leading up to that day wed believed that she truly was our daughter and had been even before she was born. Since the day shed come home to us from the hospital as a newborn wed cared for her—fed her, bathed her, changed her diapers, rocked her, sung to her, prayed over her, acting exactly like her parents. We loved her with all our hearts. However, on the day we stood before a judge in the county courthouse, our left hands on the Bible, our right hands lifted in pledge, and answered the judges questions about our intentions, and made our promises to the court, we truly became her parents and she became our daughter. That day we were legally joined together as family. Now we belonged to one another. Though I cannot explain it, something of great significance took place in the judges chambers. A spiritual shift of magnanimous proportion occurred in our relationship with our daughter, and everything from that point forward was strangely and wonderfully different though she still had to be fed and rocked and bathed and sung to and prayer over; her soiled diapers still required changing, as did our schedules! I give this example to Christians who are contemplating marriage and to you who are reading this, as I seek to remind you of the mystery of commitment. Making a commitment in the presence of God and Gods witnesses, impacts relationship—positively and wonderfully, birthing something new, wonderfully new! As we move into a New Year and make resolutions as to how we will live in the coming months the topic of commitment needs to take a place of utmost importance for us who come together as Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church. Please take time to consider your relationship with this Body of Christ. What type of relationship do you have? Have you made a commitment to the church? Have you made a promise to this fellowship and are you keeping it? Have you experienced the mysterious joy that comes, not just through serving and participating in the life of the church, but that comes from the knowledge that you are, indeed, securely woven into this body whose head is Christ. On January 10 th the Church will remember the baptism of our Lord Jesus. On that day in worship an opportunity will be given for you to remember the covenant of your baptism by professing your faith through the liturgy and your coming forward, if you desire, to touch the water in the baptismal font. If you choose to do that, then when you come forward you can silently affirm to God your renewed allegiance to the church. If you have never received the sacrament of baptism and desire to do so, contact me and we can meet and make arrangements for that to happen. If you have not joined the membership of this body and you desire to do so, let me know; that can happen, too. I don t want anyone to miss out on the mysterious benefits that come when we finally realize that God is calling us to be in a committed relationship with God through the Church, and God has glorious benefits and blessings for us to discover. May we all desire and seek the heavenly treasures God has prepared for us in 2016. Happy New Year! ~Mary D.

The Liberty Hill Connection

Over the years I have counseled Christians who are living together in an intimate relationship and contemplating marriage. I assure them that once they are married their relationship will be different than the one they are presently experiencing. Sometimes that remark has resulted in blank stares; sometimes it has elicited retorts tinged with self-righteous emotion, but more often than not it has opened the door to conversation about how that could possibly be.

I confess that, though it is a mystery to me, I have come to see that it is true. “Once you are legally married,” I tell them, “having stood in the presence of God, surrounded by Christian witnesses, and having made your promises of commitment to each other, every aspect of your relationship will shift, becoming richer, fuller, deeper and more rewarding.”

To help them try to grasp that truth I tell them about what happened in husband Dave’s and my hearts and spirits and minds on the day our infant daughter’s adoption was declared legal and binding by the state in which we lived. In the weeks and months leading up to that day we’d believed that she truly was our daughter and had been even before she was born. Since the day she’d come home to us from the hospital as a newborn we’d cared for her—fed her, bathed her, changed her diapers, rocked her, sung to her, prayed over her, acting exactly like her parents. We loved her with all our hearts.

However, on the day we stood before a judge in the county courthouse, our left hands on the Bible, our right hands lifted in pledge, and answered the judge’s questions about our intentions, and made our promises to the court, we truly became her parents and she became our daughter. That day we were legally joined together as family. Now we belonged to one another.

Though I cannot explain it, something of great significance took place in the judge’s chambers. A spiritual shift of magnanimous proportion occurred in our relationship with our daughter, and everything from that point forward was strangely and wonderfully different though she still had to be fed and rocked and bathed and sung to and prayer over; her soiled diapers still required changing, as did our schedules!

I give this example to Christians who are contemplating marriage and to you who are reading this, as I seek to remind you of the mystery of commitment. Making a commitment in the presence of God and God’s witnesses, impacts relationship—positively and wonderfully, birthing something new, wonderfully new!

As we move into a New Year and make resolutions as to how we will live in the coming months the topic of commitment needs to take a place of utmost importance for us who come together as Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church. Please take time to consider your relationship with this Body of Christ. What type of relationship do you have? Have you made a commitment to the church? Have you made a promise to this fellowship and are you keeping it? Have you experienced the mysterious joy that comes, not just through serving and participating in the life of the church, but that comes from the knowledge that you are, indeed, securely woven into this body whose head is Christ. On January 10th the Church will remember the baptism of our Lord Jesus. On that day in worship an opportunity will be given for you to remember the covenant of your baptism by professing your faith through the liturgy and your coming forward, if you desire, to touch the water in the baptismal font. If you choose to do that, then when you come forward you can silently affirm to God your renewed allegiance to the church. If you have never received the sacrament of baptism and desire to do so, contact me and we can meet and make arrangements for that to happen. If you have not joined the membership of this body and you desire to do so, let me know; that can happen, too. I don’t want anyone to miss out on the mysterious benefits that come when we finally realize that God is calling us to be in a committed relationship with God through the Church, and God has glorious benefits and blessings for us to discover.

May we all desire and seek the heavenly treasures God has prepared for us in 2016.

"Long Ago at Liberty Hill"

By Sylvia Hudson

WATEREE MESSENGER: January 17, 1938 Misses Edith Richards and Mary Cunningham gave a “hot dog” feast at the com-munity house on Saturday night. The following young people were invited to en-joy the festivities of the occasion: Misses Annie Mae Cureton, Adella Cunning-ham, Willie Lee Higgins, Stephen McCrae, Henry Smith Higgins, Ned Cunning-ham and Ellison Cureton.

WATEREE MESSENGER: January 16, 1939 The roller skating fad has reached Liberty Hill, and a number of our boys and girls may often be seen on the Highway here, enjoying the doubtful and dangerous so-called sport. We hope that each one of them, and passing motorists will exercise due caution, and perhaps prevent a serious accident. CAMDEN-CHRONICLE: January 2, 1940 At the Presbyterian church Sunday morning Rev. W. C. Boyd of Clinton S.C., preached the 11:15 ser-mon, treating his large audience to an able discourse, stressing the idea that only two classes of people – the wise and the simple – ever become Christians. The great throng between are too wise in their own conceit and too self-important to come to Christ. Rev. Boyd is a young man of pleasing address, a fluent speaker, and we feel is destined to do a great work in the Master’s vineyard. He is not yet or-dained. CAMDEN CHRONICLE:. January 1, 1941 Our village has assumed the even tenor of its way. Visitors have returned to their homes. College stu-dents have gone to take up their studies. Cadets C.D. Cunningham, Jr., Clemson, and Steven McCrae to the University of South Carolina; Misses Willie Lee Higgins and Lucy Clements to Winthrop Col-lege. Teachers have gone to resume their duties in the school rooms. Miss Callie Jones to Columbia; Miss A.L. McCaskill to Blenhiem; Mrs. Marion R. Hodges to Sumter; Miss Righton Richards to Fort Mill; Miss Sarah Cunningham to Cheraw; Miss Annie Righton McCaskill to Winnsboro; Mrs. J.H. Clements to near Bishopville; Mrs. T.P. McCrae to Heath Springs; Miss Lizzie Richards to Lancaster County – both the latter two driving to their schools each day. CAMDEN CHRONICLE:. January 19, 1953 Liberty Hill was blanketed in a soft snow Wednesday night. The low temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to the twenty's, continued until Sunday. The last of the snow melted Monday. Although the weather was so cold, commuters who work in the nearby towns did not lose time from work because the highways were clear of snow and ice. CAMDEN CHRONICLE: January 8, 1958 Keen interest in the development of the old granite quarry at Stoneboro is aroused by the leasing of 27 acres of real estate from Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cannon of Heath Springs also 12 acres from Hutton and Bourbonnaie Co. of Heath Springs by the Oglethorpe Grant Co. of Elberton, Georgia. CAMDEN-CHRONICLE: January 15, 1969 Pvt. David Williams, who is a radio technician for the 4th Division of 22nd Infantry in the mountains of Vietnam, sent a tape recorded Christmas message to his parents. David's Christmas Day menu was steak and eggs for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, and a turkey dinner with all the trimmings for dinner. (David’s mother, Frances, and brother, Keith & family still live in Liberty Hill. ~Editor)

To My Liberty Hill Church Family, Thank you so much for all the calls, cards and prayers your sent during Chick’s illness and death. Your care and concern during this time helped to carry me through a difficult time as I continue to move forward. May God continue to pour his blessings on each and every one of us.

Jo Ann Guinn

Thank you all for continuing the tradition of providing warm coats for our students.

Ms. Baskin Baron DeKalb Elementary School Counselor

Thank you Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church for allowing me to serve as your Elder for the past five years. It has been one

of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Working with this wonderful congregation has been so very gratifying! I

never thought I would find a church I loved as much as my home church, the Clover Associate Reformed Presbyterian

Church, but this church, OUR church, has my heart!

While working on Session my responsibilities have centered on working with the Care Team where I saw firsthand that our

church family puts God first. I saw evidence of that in so many ways. (Call me and I’ll be glad to share.)

Now as my active service on Session ends with the close of 2015 I will continue serving on the Care Team, for that is where I feel God’s blessings most strongly. I encourage you to get involved with a Team, too. You can work on Care Team with me, or the Administration Team, the Mission/Evangelism Team or the Worship Team, or you can ask Session to form a NEW team! You don’t have to limit yourself to one Team; work with as many as you’d like! Did you know that your help and input are vital to the health of our church? Your voice matters! Also, I encourage everyone to get involved with your Cluster. Clusters are the arms and hands and feet of the church, accomplishing what God is calling us to do as we minister within the church and outside of the church, modeling the love of God. Clusters are the heartbeat of the church. I know that many of you know the joy of serving with your Cluster, for I have called on you often and you have never failed to respond. I want everyone to experience the blessings of working together. Oh, I thank you for the opportunity to serve you and Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church! I look forward to the great things God has planned for us all!

Millie Plyler

Many thanks to Trish Flynn for being the unofficial Church Photographer.

Your beautiful pictures chronicle our happy times on the Hill (and at the lake).

Your selfless contribution is invaluable!

Since early October, I have spent much of my time coordinating the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance’s response to the South Carolina floods that occurred in October while also representing the volunteer community as an officer with South Carolina Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (SC VOAD). So, the flooding is on my mind.

Our state in on a multi-years-long path toward recovery from the flooding. As I write, there have been about 92,000 applications for FEMA individual assistance, which represents heads of households applying to FEMA because they feel like they have been damaged by the flooding. The applications continue to be received at a rate of hundreds per day. On the January 3, 2016

new extended deadline for applying for assistance, it is anticipated there may be 100,000 applications. History tells us that 10% of the 100,000 (or 10,000) will be what we understand as “the least of these.” Think about that 10,000 number for a moment. That is 10,000 South Carolina families who will need assistance from the non-profit and faith-based communities to recover from the flooding. That is a staggering number for our small state.

The financial need for the “least of these” will vary from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars and those dollars are based on volunteer labor to do much of the work. So, let’s use $10,000 as a typical number for each family. That is $10,000,000!

Damage can be clearly seen for most natural disasters. Flooding is different. The water goes down and often leaves no obvious evidence of damage. We do not fear water, which might be why flooding is number one for natural disaster related deaths. Water does evaporate and go away. BUT, almost any porous material that gets wet and stays wet for several days will grow toxic black mold. Mold cannot be removed from porous building materials and home furnishings. Porous materials, carpet, particle board, drywall, insulation, upholstered furniture, etc. must be removed. Hard surfaces must be treated to kill mold and its spores. If you are healthy you can live with black mold for a while, though it will degrade your health. If you already have health problems, you may find that you are unable to remain in the mold. Electrical systems that get wet need to be replaced to be safe. Too many South Carolinians are choosing to live with mold and unsafe electrical systems because they cannot see it and they feel that they have no other option.

“The least of these” often live in flood plains because the real estate is less expensive. The 10% number from above may underestimated. Also, deferred maintenance has always been an issue for those with less means. For too many in our state, the solution for a leaking roof is not just new shingles or even new plywood and shingles. The solution is to rebuild a completely new roof structure. The same applies to replacing wet flooring. The structure will need to be replaced too! Deferred maintenance dramatically increases costs. Now $10,000 per home seems too low. FEMA’s compensation was never intended to make a homeowner “whole” again and will offer no assistance for deferred maintenance. Therefore, some agencies who do disaster repairs will not fix deferred maintenance.

The solution will require many thousands of volunteer man hours and many millions of dollars. We do not need to provide the entire solution, but we can make an impact. Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church has already started receiving gifts on behalf of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. We are located close enough to the damaged survivors to help with the rebuilding and still sleep in our own beds at night. That’s easy mission work! We need leadership to organize teams and leadership to guide construction. Be in prayer about your finances and time and Liberty Hill Presbyterian Church’s role in flooding recovery.

Changing the subject… One thing I like most about our Presbyterian Church (USA) is that we are a connected church. We do not have to do anything alone. That certainly allows us to make an impact in disaster recovery and also in education. Our Providence Presbytery E3 event (Educating, Equipping, Empowering) is on January 10, 2016. We in the Providence Presbytery have this great training workshop each year. All of the Presbytery congregations come together to share our expertise and we bring in other experts. Register online at: http://www.providencepres.org/e3_registration_16.aspx

This year’s E3 Workshop will have over twenty sessions in areas such as Worship, Music, Youth Leaders, Spiritual Growth, “Something for Everyone,” etc. During the afternoon, you have the opportunity to attend two sessions. Mark your calendar for:

2:00 PM, Sunday, January 10, 2016 at Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church (Rock Hill)

Child care is available for infants to 4K and older children can spend an afternoon at Bethelwoods. Preregistration is necessary for child care and advisable for all sessions to ensure you can attend your session of choice. The registration deadline is Tuesday, January 5, 2016. And did I say FREE?

You can go to the Providence Presbytery WEB site and click on the E3 logo and then click on E3 Annual FREE Training under “What we Do” on the left side of the screen about mid-way down. There is also information in the church office.

I plan to be there. Do you?
