February 2010 Meeting

Rodney Norris was welcomed back from his sabbatical leave at this meeting.  Since the expected speaker did not show, Rodney was invited to tell us about his leave experiences.  With his hoarse voice (bad cold), he gave his reasons for taking time to step away from his duties to become energized.  He also told of his wonderful experiences working with a job counselor and how he is now excited to get back to working with our church's youth.

January 2010 Meeting

Hands-on Mission Work was the topic of the first meeting of the year.  Greg Hammill told us about his mission work with this agency when he was a member of a New Jersey church.  Two mission activities sponsored by this church were Appalachian Service Projects (ASP) and Hearts for Honduras (HFH).  With ASP he led a group of youth and adults repairing homes of poor Appalachian families.  The youth had the opportunity to work with tools and see the needs of poor people in this country.  He also did work in Honduras with HFH where he helped with the building of a school for children who could not afford to attend public schools.  His NJ church continues to maintain and support the school which continues to grow and just received government certification.  His church hopes the growth in numbers of children being educated continues.  Hopefully, his talk will inspire more the men of Fort Hill Church to consider participating in one of our mission projects.

December 2010 Meeting

Today we had the pleasure of hearing Dale Linnville's travelog of Libya.  He and his wife traveled there to visit there son who is our U.S. Military Attaché.  Dale gave us a good overall view of both the old and new parts of the country as well as the plush and desert areas.  He also related the scary and comforting feeling of knowing that someone was always watching your every move.  We appreciated hearing Dale's view of Libya, a country in the news but with few pictures of the country ever seen.
