Highlighting Placement Possibilities Partners in Service Volunteers Begin and End Times of Service Local Congregation Honors Service of Justin Chick as a Partners in Service Volunteer Thanks to General Synod Service Project Participants Along the Way...News from Volunteers Congratulations to Mary and Bill Ruth who recently received a Heart of Mission Award for UCC Volunteer Ministries during the Wider Church/Global Ministries Dinner at General Synod in Hartford, CT. Cally Rogers-Witte, Executive Minister of Wider Church Ministries, UCC introduced the award with the following: Mary and William Ruth have served for over five years as long term volunteers in several diverse mission settings in the United States. They hope to continue for many more years. The Ruths help to network different settings of the church as they connect with local churches in the places where they serve and encourage local churches in other areas to be involved in that setting. The Ruths refer to the experience as giftgiving: Volunteering in this manner is a bit like giving a birthday gift to a dear one. The giver strives to select just the right gift by first knowing well and listening to the recipient, and finally, the giver has no control or strings attached to the gift after it is received. Likewise, we arrive at an assignment to make a gift of skills and talents. We discover in what form that gift needs to be for the recipient agency. Then we leave the finished product gift in the hands of the agency when we move on for them to choose what to do with the gift. This type of giftgiving is fun for us! This Heart of Mission Award for Volunteer Ministries is presented to Mary and Bill Ruth in gratitude for their gift-giving and receiving. May each of us be gift-givers and receivers.. Thanks to each of you for your service. Highlighting Volunteer Placement Possibilities: Charles Hall Youth Services Volunteers are sought to serve as house parents and/or in arts programming with youth residents.

4 UCC Volunteer Ministries Newsletter Page 4 ALONG THE WAY NEWS FROM VOLUNTEERS Participants in the General Synod Service Projects had the opportunity to serve in the Hartford, CT area as part of their General Synod experience. The General Synod is the bi-annual national gathering of the United Church of Christ. Delegates and visitors from all over the UCC and visitors from other churches and from partner churches around the globe gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the union that created the United Church of Christ. Service Projects allowed people to participate in and learn of the work of local HIV/AIDS ministries providing space and community to call home, the regional foodbank systematically addressing issues of hunger, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center maintaining historic connections to the abolition movement, a neighborhood rehabilitation project serving as catalyst for home-rehabilitation in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of North Hartford, and a project in the public schools of Hartford saying thank you to teachers and learning of legal issues related to racial integration. The public school/teacher appreciation project included a stop at the Learning Corridor, a system of Magnet and Montessori schools in Hartford that were formed as one result of a racial discrimination court case in which UCC member, Elizabeth Horton Sheff, was the plaintiff. Two decades later, Sheff v. O Neill continues as an active court case with other results yet to be implemented. Involvement in this case changed Elizabeth Sheff s life and she now serves on the Hartford City Council. Susan Eaton has documented and reflected on the story of Sheff v. O Neill by telling the story of one classroom at Simpson-Waverly Elementary School in Hartford, CT with award-winning teacher Lois Luddy and her students in the third and fourth grades. The book is The Children in Room E4 (Chapel Hill: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2007). Two days after this service project, the United States Supreme court ruled on cases related to racial integration in public schools in Louisville, KY and Seattle, WA in ways that threaten to roll back integration legislation. One young adult participant in the Service project exclaimed that she thought that racial integration lawsuits were a thing of her parents generation! She paid special attention to the Supreme Court ruling of that week, considering the situation of her own school. Two other men worked side by side all morning at the School Service Project, assembling materials for the teacher appreciation packets. One from Montana and one from New York, both participants are husbands of retired public school teachers. Both spent the morning making connections and discussing issues of justice and public education in Hartford, in New York City, in rural Montana. It was the community that made the project, they said. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!
