Fort Hill Presbyterian Church Workcamp

We were honored to host the fine folks from Fort Hill Presbyterian Church (and Rodney too) on a workcamp trip earlier this month! Check out a few pics of their time here working at Oakhurst Outreach in White Sulphur Springs, WV. (Thanks to Abby Martin for the pics.)

 

Thanks for a great week! Come back soon.

Sometimes we southerners say one word that sounds like another word. The same was true in Amos' day. He was a southerner who talked differently than his northern brothers and sisters. We see this illustrated in a beautiful piece of poetry which begins the passage, and the difference between the southern and northern pronunciations of a single word produces a universe of theological meaning.

On July 4th, Americans will consider what it means to be a free people. This morning, we consider freedom theologically from a Presbyterian perspective--that of predestination. Stephen asks, "As children of God, do we exercise our freedom by abandoning it unto God?"
