FROM THE PASTORS DESK
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Members and
Friends of the Hill United Presbyterian
Church:
The week of July 15 through the 22nd, we had
simply a wonderful and amazing Music, Art and
Drama camp.
Led and directed by Kathy Sawyer, withcostumes by Jennifer Gilliland, with the help
of many other parent, grandparent, and youth
volunteers, and with a terrific cast of
children, youth and young adults, the Gospel
of Jesus and His love was presented in a
joyful, lively and memorable fashion.
Happily Forever After is a musical parable
about living life in the Kingdom of God way
what the musical called the backward way.
That is, Christians are challenged and led by
our Lord Jesus to live very differently fromthe everyday ways of the world so that the
Gospel of Jesus love can truly be seen and
shared with others.
Remember Jesus words: Seek first the
Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
else will be added unto you!
Together, lets live that backward way,
showing the Gospel to the world!!!
Grace to you and Peace from God
the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,Pastor ClarkRev. Clark Sawyer

GHANA MISSION TASK FORCE
Here it is; fast approachingthe end of our season of
raising funds for the Ghana
scholarship program for young
women. For those who have
wanted to do this but have not
yet done so, please remit your funds by August
15th. We will be transmitting the money by late
August. Thank you to all for assisting this
mission work to make a difference in the world.
Was it really difficult to give up something if you
did this to save your money? Let me know.
Thank you Ashley Holmes for constructing our
Tree of Knowledge.
While I was at the General Assembly meeting inPittsburgh during the July 4th week, Ghana was
favorably mentioned on several occasions. The
country was mentioned in a couple of committee
meetings and on the floor during plenary
sessions. At the World Mission booth in
conversation with one of the representatives, we
were complimented for our scholarship efforts.
There was a conversation with a Milwaukee
Presbytery representative and a church involved
with the Ghana Mission Network of which ourtask force is involved. The church, Westminster
Church of Albany, New York, had a youth group
visiting the final day of the assembly as they
were headed to work at the Pittsburgh Project.
Several of the youth were Ghanaian. That
church is a multi-cultural congregation with aGhanaian membership of about 30. See the front
bulletin board for a picture post card of our
West Africa Liaison, Joshua Heikkila.
One of our scholarship awardees, Benedicta
Akbokey, continues to express her interest
concerning the possibility of attending college in
America. Does anyone in the congregation have
any specific contacts(process or financial) to
help her achieve this dream? Keep Benedicta in
your prayers.
Our Task Force also continues to request y
prayers for our Christian friends in the Bubia
District churches, as well as for Josh Heikkila.
For The Ghana Mission Task Force Jim Ihlenfe
Dear Members:
I truly thank you dear people for honoring me
beautifully on my 95th birthday by coming to
celebration and sending me such lovely cardsso
with touching sentiments-others really funny!
have read and reread them-they are r
keepers!
My dear friends gave of their time and energy
prepare the refreshments and I do sincerely ththem-they are such dears all the time!
When I was young, (yes, I really was young a l
time ago), our church was known as the Glad H
Church and I think it remains so today. O
members are friendly and loving. We all appreci
that!
The Lord has richly blest me with a loving family
long, happy and healthful life, and the is wha
pray for each of you.
Sincerely,
Ida Miller
