THANK YOU MILTON! On behalf of the congregation, and especially the Session, we thank Elder C.

Milton McNatt for nearly 10 years of faithful and distinguished service to our

church as Clerk of Session.

Milton has served effectively, efficiently and creatively through a period of

great growth and progress on Session. Our minutes, reports and records have

been digitized. During his tenure, we called an Associate Pastor, the hired a

Director of Youth Ministry and made several changes in the office support staff.

Anyone who has ever interacted with Milton in his role as Clerk will tell you he

was always conscientious, careful, organized and thorough in all his dealings,

whether for Session or the congregation. Everything he undertook for us he

completed diligently, humbly and without pretense.

He has retired from active service as our Clerk and continues to be a faithful

member of the congregation, active in musical and other groups within the con-

gregation.

Please take time to seek out and thank Milton for his distinguished service to

our congregation.

We give thanks to God for the faithful service and positive example of our

former Clerk of Session, Milton McNatt.

See you in worship.

Gratefully yours,

P.S. Session recently voted to elect Elder Patty Toler as Clerk of Session.

Please welcome Patty to this new position of service and leadership in the

Thank You from VBS Operation Overboard VBS Operation Overboard (June 24-28) was a special week for the 60+ children who

played, sang and learned what it means to have “deep faith” in God. We are so appreciative

of the congregation’s outpouring of support as well as for the joy and grace that each of our

volunteers gave each day. We thank God for each of you and for the deep faith you shared

with the children, with one another and with us.

God-Sightings at VBS What an amazing week we had at Vacation Bible School! God was certainly at work before

and during our week together where more than 60 children (and more than 40 volunteers)

learned what it means to “dare to go deep” with God and to have “deep faith.” In fact, we

wanted to share some of the many “God-sightings” we experienced in preparation for Operation

Overboard.

These “sightings” have been such a blessing to us and a true testimony to the goodness and

grace of God.

For example, we were in need of some center leaders and within a few days, we had someone

volunteer specifically for that role as well as someone whose travel plans had changed and

was able to participate exactly where we needed.

Or, we thought about doing a craft with real seashells, and by the grace of God, can you be-

lieve we found 100 shells in the back of a closet?!

Did you notice all the shoeboxes? We asked the congregation for shoeboxes, hoping for about

60; we received more than 100 and we had to ask folks to stop bringing them.

While enjoying some early-on, brief chit-chatting in the church office about the idea of a card-

board submarine for the children to explore (but the dilemma of the durability of card-

board....) a “little bird” overheard....and wow, an indestructible, fantastic work of art was

hand crafted that not only our children enjoyed but is now being crawled through and loved

by 2 additional local churches during their VBS!

Even during our planning of last year’s VBS, Shake-it-up Cafe, two Presbyterian Church

members’ paths happened to intersect while out and about and there was a passing mention

of “I have some silverware for you for VBS” and shazam...a third bystander spoke up and

said, “tell me about this...how much silverware doyou need, I have 100 pieces of it (antique,

no less) in the trunk of my car that's been there for a year, I've been meaning to donate it;

I'll get it for you!!” (Continued on page 8)

The 220th General Assembly reached its zenith — liter-

ally — when the commissioners ascended to the rooftop

terrace of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to

enjoy Pittsburgh’s spectacular Fourth of July fireworks

display. Funny thing about fireworks: as dramatic and

stunning as they can be, when all is said and done, nothing

much has changed.

Fireworks of other kinds were exploding throughout the

week at the assembly, but not much changed either. Even

seasoned observers kept finding themselves whiplashed by

climactic moments of high drama, but most episodes

concluded with the status quo intact.

This year’s drama began two weeks prior to the assembly

when the Outlook broke the story that vice-moderator

candidate Tara Spuhler McCabe had signed the marriage

license of two women in Washington, D.C., even though

the PC(USA) defines Christian marriage as being between

a woman and a man. McCabe’s running mate, Neal Presa,

was elected on the fourth ballot, prevailing over three other

nominees with 52 percent of the commissioners’ votes.

They confirmed McCabe’s election a day later, but on July

4, troubled by criticism and facing the possibility of eccle-

siastical discipline, she resigned from the post, stunning

many.

Presa nominated a Colorado pastor, Tom Trinidad, to

replace McCabe.

DIVESTMENT. Gasps sounded again when, by a

minuscule margin, the assembly rejected a plan to with-

draw church investments from three companies accused of

complicity in the Israeli oppression of Palestinians. In a

move closely watched by the secular media and by Jewish

groups, the assembly voted 333-331 to favor “creative en-

gagement” and investment rather than divestment of more

than $17 million in pension and foundation investments

from Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions and Hewlett-Packard.

MARRIAGE. Recognizing the volatility of the issue, the

assembly pulled back from taking a stand on same-gender

marriage. An assembly committee had recommended

approving a proposed amendment to the PC(USA) constitu-

tion to change the definition of Christian marriage in the

Book of Order from being between “a man and a woman”

to being between “two people.” The assembly voted

308-338 not to send the proposed amendment to the

presbyteries. It also did not approve an authoritative inter-

pretation to give ministers the discretion to perform same-

gender weddings in states where it is legal. Instead, the

assembly voted for presbyteries and congregations to “enter

into a [two-year] season of serious study and discernment

concerning its meaning of Christian marriage.”

MID-COUNCILS. Declining to follow the lead of the

Commission on Mid Councils, the assembly voted not to

allow the creation of non-geographic presbyteries during a

“designated season of experimentation” in the PC(USA).

The commission had argued for constitutional changes,

including dissolving synods as ecclesiastical entities,

intended to reduce a layer of hierarchy and encourage inno-

vation in mission. The assembly did vote to create an

administrative commission to continue discussing those

issues, plus a task force to examine racial ethnic ministries

in the PC(USA).

SPECIAL OFFERINGS. A special committee formed

by the 2010 GA proposed bold changes to the four major

church-wide special offerings, along with modernizing the

fundraising methodologies, aiming to increase the giving

by 50% by 2020. The assembly rejected all changes to

offerings allocations. It endorsed the new fundraising

strategies and asked the commission to lead in their imple-

mentation and monitoring for the next two years.

IN OTHER ACTIONS, the assembly …

» Introduced UKIRK Ministries (i.e., University Church),

signaling a new direction for PC(USA) collegiate minis-

tries;

» Launched the 1,001 Movement to form 1,001 new wor-

shiping communities in 10 years;

» Changed the name of the elected General Assembly

Mission Council to Presbyterian Mission Agency Board;

and staff to Presbyterian Mission Agency;

» Declined to eliminate the constitutional language that

church property is “held in trust nevertheless for the use

and benefit” of the denomination;

» Asked the Board of Pensions to consider sharing its

benefits program with the Evangelical Presbyterian

Church; ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyte-

rians; and other possible partners;

» Sent for presbytery approval a proposed constitutional

amendment to the denomination’s ordination standards,

The Camp Hanover Ministries Board of the Presbytery of

the James is pleased to announce the hiring of Doug

Walters as the camp’s new Executive Director. After many

months of prayerful work, the search committee invited

Walters to lead Camp Hanover, confident that his efforts

will continue to strengthen its ministry and

honor its rich tradition of small group Chris-

tian camping and retreat ministry.

Walters is passionate about Presbyterian

camp ministry and brings with him a wealth

of experience and creativity, having served

for over a decade in a variety of leadership

roles at various Presbyterian Church (USA)

summer camps and retreat centers. These

sites include Johnsonburg Presbyterian

Center, New Jersey; Chesapeake Center,

Maryland; Dogwood Acres, Florida, and

most recently Ferncliff Camp & Conference

Center, Little Rock, Arkansas. He has also served multiple

terms on the Board of the Presbyterian Church Camp and

Conference Association.

Originally from New Jersey, Walters grew up in the

Presbyterian Church. He is a communications graduate of

Ithaca College. His career path tended toward broadcast

journalism and video production before following a call

into full-time camp ministry in 1998. Walters is currently

finishing up his second stint as the Interim Director of

Youth Ministry at Second Presbyterian Church in Little

Rock, where he, his wife Lynn, and their three children --

David (8), Joshua (6), and Kate (2) -- are active members.

Walters will officially assume his position at Camp Hano-

ver on October 1, 2012.

Walters will be only the third Executive

Director in the Camp’s 55-year history, suc-

ceeding Robert H. “Bob” Pryor who is retir-

ing after more than 22 years of service. The

Camp Hanover Ministries Board and staff

appreciate your continued prayers and sup-

port for the ministry of the Camp and for

Doug Walters and his family as they follow

God’s call to serve in this sacred place. With

a deep history of life-changing ministry to

build upon, Camp Hanover's future is full of

hope and excitement for all that God will

continue to accomplish here.

Camp Hanover, the outdoor ministry center of the

Presbytery of the James, Presbyterian Church (USA), was

founded in 1957 under the leadership of the Reverend John

E. Ensign, who served as its director for 33 years until his

retirement in 1989. Over Labor Day weekend, the Camp

will celebrate 55 years of ministry and will honor retiring

director, Bob Pryor, at the conclusion of the summer camp

season.

Reflections from The Pilgrimage At the end of June, a group of senior high youth spent a

weekend in Washington, DC, serving through the Pilgrim-

age, an organization at The Church of the Pilgrims that pro-

vides service learning. We worked with older adults who

were food insecure, providing them with groceries as well

as doing yard work for 2 families to keep them from being

evicted. (And we came home with a few cases of poison

ivy; who knew it grows in DC!) We also heard from speak-

ers who are currently homeless. Hearing their stories and

working with those on the brink of losing their houses put a

face to a struggle that is around us all the time. We had a

chance to reflect on our time, and the following is one

youth’s reflection:

“It is an inexplicable moment when the invisible become

visible. As if out of nowhere, they’re there, pulling on your

heartstrings, and finding compassion where emotional

wells had run dry. You smile but do not speak at these

newfound strangers, and are weighed down by a never

ceasing curiosity. There is helplessness in the circum-

stance. Helplessness in the inability to change circum-

stance. And so you reach out, trying desperately to become

a part of what you see, in hopes that maybe, just maybe, if

you acknowledge it all, it may finally be dealt with. With

this new acknowledgement, the old veil of ignorance is

shed for one that provides no comfort, but understanding.

As you ride home, you wish and hope that the collective

struggle of this ‘invisible community’ can continue to drive

a desire to make a change. That weekend, I saw people

behind a stereotype, and they were just like us.”

We had a life changing weekend and are so thankful for

the support of our congregation to make these trips possi-

ble.

Check back in next month to hear an update of the fun

and faith building at Montreat!

VBS (Continued from page 3)

These are just the tip of the iceberg. God met and

often exceeded our needs and expectations in His per-

fect way and in His perfect timing. Helping to organize

and orchestrate VBS has been such a huge blessing to

the two of us. We have seen God at work in so many

ways through and during VBS that it is we who feel

that we have been given the best gift of all. Each of us

also asked God to grow us during these two years, and

He certainly did in ways unimaginable. There’s just

something special about being a part of VBS. It is our

prayer that others might be willing to let God lead him

or her to facilitate VBS next year. If you’d like to talk

further about our experiences and what VBS entails,

please don’t hesitate to contact us or Bruce Harvey.
