Cultivate Summer feelings



We're getting more settled into Winnsboro and it's starting to REALLY feel like summer.
My summers for the past 6 years have included Salkehatchie. This week I got to ride around our
beautiful county with Steve McDonald to visit the 11 Salkehatchie sites and hand out popsicles.
There is something so reassuring in the ritual of bringing popsicles (something I’ve done at every
SC church I’ve worked at) to a Salkehatchie job site.  

“Hey! Great job! Your roof is looking awesome! Anyone want a popsicle?”
It’s fun and affirming act; something done at camps around our state for the 40 years of Salkehatchie
ministry. This year is the 40th anniversary of Salkehatchie, it's that amazing. Fairfield County is one
of 46 camps around South Carolina this year. That’s a huge impact to our community and to our state.
The world truly is our parish!  I’m proud that First United Methodist Winnsboro is a strong supporter
of the Fairfield County camp.

So, happy summer! Have a popsicle and say a prayer for our Salk campers and the families they are
helping around our county and our state!

#Winning with you!
