1 South Carolina United Methodist Conference March 2015 Rev. Joe N. Long, Jr., District Superintendent Lollie Haselden, District Secretary 139 Elizabeth Lane, Rock Hill, SC fax Hand-in-Hand in the Rock Hill District U nited Methodists worship in various ways. As a district superintendent, I have the opportunity to worship with many congregations. The past few weeks illustrate this. The youth at Revolution worshipped with flashing lights and contemporary music at a turned up volume. Within a few days, I experienced Native American worship with the smudging of smoke, the beating of sacred drums, and an eagle in the sky. In worshipping with both African American and white congregations, praising God involved prayers (written and spontaneous), music (old and modern), and traditions unique to a particular culture and common to all. The Lenten season began with a ceremony using the ancient ritual of ashes. Each worship experience was different yet similar. Each was United Methodist. In each I worshipped the one true God. In each God was honored. Connecting with God is the heart of worship. We gather. We hear God s message. We respond in praise and service. Inside this issue: Important Dates and Local District News Conference Announcements Asbury Hills 18 LJA 19 As you consider worship, ask: Am I connecting with God? Do I share a warm, welcoming spirit? Is my worship about pleasing me or pleasing God? Am I honest and open before God? Will I allow God to make a difference in me? Do I expect something to happen today? Will my love for God inspire others to worship our Lord? Good friends, in whatever style of worship you find yourself, look to God and be drawn closer to Jesus. Allow the Spirit to empower you to live fully in the light of the Gospel. NEW District Website rockhill.umcsc.org

13 March 2015 Page 13 Conference A C2015 is returning to hunger ministry as its service project this year. The conference is again partnering with the international hunger relief organization Stop Hunger Now to host a daylong meal-packaging event to help hungry people in desperate need of lifesaving meal packets. This is the same project that was done at Annual Conference 2013, and it was so successful that South Carolina United Methodists raised not only the $72,000 needed to do the meal-packaging event, but also to donate an additional $97,000 to hunger ministries throughout the state. This year, the costs of supplies and shipping have gone up, so the conference will be seeking $86,000 to do the Stop Hunger Now event, plus volunteers to work four-hour shifts and pack meals, said Chris Lynch, coordinator of the SHN effort. Any funds raised beyond the $86,000 will go toward both hunger and children in poverty ministries across the state and shared equally among the 12 districts. In addition to needing volunteers for the conference-wide service project (Stop Hunger Now meal-packing) on June 9 at Annual Conference, donations are sorely needed. The South Carolina UMC must raise $86,000 to purchase the supplies needed to pack more than 285,000 meals. To donate or volunteer, visit and click on the appropriate button. You can also mail a donation to the South Carolina Conference, 4908 Colonial Drive, Columbia, SC Make sure your check says Hunger Project in the memo. (This is from The Messenger, a weekly e-newsletter from The Advocate)

This year's week-long mission experience in Honduras is scheduled for June 26-July 5, 2015 as we work alongside a group of young people from the Kentucky Conference. The trip will be organized and work will be done with Honduras Outreach International (HOI, inc). HOI has years of experience and has developed a meaningful relationship in communities in Honduras. The mission experience typically includes Vacation Bible School for the children as well as minor construction projects. We are excited about what God will do to make this trip a powerful experience for young people in our conference.

Tiffany Knowlin and worship leader Robert McMichael), family groups that offer a chance to process the weekend in a safe community of peers, breakout sessions that deal head on with relevant topics where faith and life intersect, great rec. time for fun and fellowship, and much more.
