Vacation Bible School Through The Eyes...
Tank you VBS & hi-5Crew!
Thank you to ALL of the volunteers that helped to make this years VBS & hi-5 programs possible. Anyone who put up and/or
took down decorations, led activites, snacks, music, or was involved in any other part of the week really made the Workshop
of Wonders enjoyable for the kids. They sure loved Rivet & Sandy (thank you Sam Grizzle & Ella Swan!).
Amy did an incredible job this year!! Stayed tuned for information on next years VBS.
Youth/Children Highlights
I basically liked everything, Henry said as he sat down to discuss this years vacation bible school.
I liked the snacks, his three year old brother, Liam, interjected.
Henry is an HPC Vacation Bible School veteran, having attended half the summers of his life. At age
six, he showed Liam the ropes this year. Workshop of Wonders! both blurted out, when asked about
this years theme.Henry immediately started singing some of the songs they performed every day.
Get in Gear, Workshop of Wonders (the song), and We are the Clay quickly came to mind.
Henry said music, with teacher David Warren, was one of his favorite classes. He also loved art.
Everyday they did science experiments and created a different piece of art to put in their tool box.
Liam said he liked coloring a puzzle, but remained focused on the snacks. I liked the icing covered
rice crispy treats, he insisted.
The conversation took on a more serious tone, however, when they discussed the competition.
We didnt want Hudson to get a pie in his face, Henry lamented.
I wanted the boys to win, Liam yelled.
Every day, the two brought cans to church as part of a food drive. This was a competition between the boys and girls, to see who
could bring the most. The stakes could not have been higher. When the final tally showed the girls brought in more cans than the
boys, Amy Dillon got to smash a pie in Hudsons face. Henry and Liam took that hard. Dont write about that daddy, they said.
But in the end, they saw just how much food was collected, and perhaps began to see the bigger picture.
It was a fun, friend-filled week that brought them closer to church and to God.
I cant wait until next year, Henry said.
Will they have rice crispy treats? Liam asked.
------------------
The Halls want to thank Amy Dillon and all the volunteers who made the week so fun and meaningful. It was a great experience!

Thanks Again,

Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its
behalf, for in its welfare you will fnd your welfare. -Jeremiah 29:7
How do we know when God is present in the world around us? Its a question often asked when
the world around us seems to be out of control like it is now. It doesnt take a careful observer of
the news and current events to see the chaos seems to be increasing. The Middle East is in
conflict, Russia and Ukraine are at odds, and the number of refuges worldwide is at an all time
high. In the midst of all this confusion, some ask how do we know God is present at all?
In the book of Jeremiah, we discover Gods people also living in chaos and confusion. The world
had been turned upside down, and the Israelites, defeated by foreign armies, were carried away
into exile. Every family had experienced losses. Many were killed in violence, and the remaining
are now refugees in Babylon. The sense of hopelessness and desperation was complete.
The prophet Jeremiah brought a message. Thus says the Lord he said. Seek the welfare of
the city in which you are living now. Plant gardens. Build houses. Marry and give your children
in marriage. Begin to live again, just as you had lived in Israel and Jerusalem. It was a strange
message to be sure. Many of those in exile would not have understood. We dont want to stay
here in exile. We want to return to Jerusalem. When will God swoop in and deliver us from our
captivity?
But God wanted them to believe something that virtually nobody in the ancient world believed at
the time. He wanted them to believe that God could be just as present with them in exile as God
had been present with them in the Holy Land. The ordinary, everyday living of life would prove
that God could bless their houses, their farms, and their families right where they were. How
would they know God was present? because God would bless the everyday, ordinary living of
life.
Perhaps the same message is for us now. How do we know God is present? Not in sweeping,
grandiose events and actions but simply in the everyday living of life. So often we are tempted
to think of God only in big ways big churches, big programs, and big visions and ideas. What
if God is not present in those things at all, but instead in the average ordinary living of everyday
lives?
This month, we end our summer breaks and resume the normal schedule of life. Its back to school time and even our workplaces
will be without the empty offices of summer vacation. Some will be looking for big things. I would urge finding joy in resuming the
wonderful ordinary of life. The truth is, this is how God is most present.
There isnt much we can do about most of the world, but we certainly can be faithful in our own ordinary lives. Go to work. Go
to church. Take care of family and friends. Go to school. Know that God loves you and will bless you in the wonderful ordinary of
everyday life. Thus says the Lord... Seek the welfare of the city!

As has been noted in previous reports, the decline in contributions from the previous year has been some concern. An empirical review of
contributions shows that unusual one time unpledged contributions in the previous year is the major difference. The impact of the current con-
tributions not sufficient to support present spending is a concern for future planning. However, our financial condition is excellent and savings
will sustain the current budgeted expenditures.
HILLSBORO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
HPCs summer worship schedule began on May 25. We have one service at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Sunday School will be
held prior to worship at 9:00 a.m. We will return to two Sunday worship services on Sunday, September 7.
Worship Schedule
Treasurers Report July 2014
Congregational Meeting Called for Sunday, August 24, 2014
for the Purpose of Electing the Nominating Committee
The Book of Order of the PCUSA states, Ruling elders and deacons shall be nominated by a committee elected by the
congregation, drawn from and representative of its membership. Congregations may provide by their own rule for a
congregational nominating committee, provided that the committee shall consist of at least three active members of the
congregation, and shall include at least one ruling elder who is currently serving on the session. (G-2401) The churchs bylaws
state that the session shall designate two elders, one of which currently serving on Session, who shall serve as moderator. The
other members are to be elected from the congregation. (Section IX)
On Sunday, August 24, 2014, following worship, a congregational meeting will be held to elect the nominating committee in
preparation for electing the class of 2017 elders and deacons. During that meeting, you will be invited to make nominations from
the floor regarding the three slots necessary, with the elders designated by Session. In preparation for that election, we would
suggest you consider those from the congregation that would serve us well, ask that individual if they are willing to serve, and
also if they plan to be present for that meeting. It is necessary that they be present so we can verify their willingness to serve.
This is an important process. It is how we express the rich diversity of the congregations membership and shall guarantee
participation and inclusiveness (F-1.0403). Thanks in advance for your consideration and faithful participation.
HPCs third workday of the summer began at 8:00 a.m. Overcast skies and a light drizzle caused several outdoor tasks had to be postponed;
however, we had numerous indoor tasks to accomplish!
First, was continuing the repainting of Fellowship Hall. This was headed by Sally Miller, painter extraordinaire, assisted by husband Charlie, Kerry
McCalla, Julia Harrell, Ann Webb Betty, and Bonnie Kerr. Kurt Musfeldt and Joe Swafford worked on numerous electrical repairs in the
Room-in-the-Inn clothes closets and the downstairs womens bathroom (now yall can see!).
As the weather cleared, Paula Yelverton, Kim Ray, and Becky Ross tended to weeding the Columbarium garden (the light rain really helped
loosen the soil), while Chris Ross used his powerful weed-eater to trim the parking lot curbing, walkways, and brick wall by the garden. Charlie
Miller then trimmed the front bushes, giving them some shape again!
Wannie Sheppard, from the Creative Care Center, and her husband Jimmy helped replace fluorescent bulbs in numerous fixtures throughout Hill-
sboro and the CCC hallways. Steve Yokley started a methodical punchlist for future preventative & corrective maintenance items. It was topped
off at noon with a tasty and filling lunch from Joan Adams, Marge Lewis, and John Lewis.
Special thanks to Sally Miller, who stayed past lunch and painted the whole back stage wall by herself (with help from a new extension and words
of encouragement by Charlie!).
In all, we had 19 HPC folks (including yours truly as coordinator/fill-in for the day) working to help maintain our facility. Stewardship and sweat,
what a combo! You are invited for our next HPC Work day, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th.
Please look for upcoming announcements regarding available projects and specific needs. Thanks again to all!

Guatemala Greetings
Sunday School Commisioning & Churchwide Breakfast
Hello to all our friends at Hillsboro Presbyterian Church, those we already know, and those we hope to
meet soon! Debbie and I have felt a special connection with Hillsboro Church. Before we responded to
our recent call to mission service, our history with Hillsboro had already begun. Through relationships
with members involved in the partnership with the Qeqch presbytery of Sayaxche, we learned much
about this churchs ministry of partnership. We were privileged to meet some of you prior to our
deployment to Guatemala. And, when a group of you invited us to accompany you last February, we got
to know some of you even better.
Were planning on a visit to the Nashville area in September, and are looking forward to visiting Hillsboro
Church on September 7th. Were so excited about the prospect of
reconnecting with old friends and building new relationships with members
of the Hillsboro congregation.
Hillsboros long-term commitment to supporting education for their
Qeqch partners has been an inspiration to us both as we seek creative
and effective methods for breaking the cycle of illiteracy and poverty so
prevalent among the indigenous people here. We were so impressed by
your commitment and history of success. We highlighted the ministry in
our Spring Mission Connections article (you can read the article online at:
http://www.presbyterianmission.org/ministries/missionconnections/
richard-and-debbie-welch-2014-03/). In that article, we pointed out how
effective, life-changing ministry can result from partnerships between
committed congregations and presbyteries of the PC(USA) like Hillsboro
Church, a faithful and reliable Guatemalan partner like the Sayaxche
presbytery and their leadership, and PC(USA) mission workers like Rog-
er and Gloria Marriott originally, and now us. With such an awesome and
successful program to learn from, and maybe even imitate when we can, we
truly feel we are standing on the shoulders of some wonderful missioners in all aspects of this partnership! Thank you all for your ongoing
witness and support. We are looking forward to our time together in September.

Phase One of the new Village Hope Preschool is almost ready for our first wave of children, ages 2 through 6. This is an
almost unbelievable dream-come-true as it will change the futures of many, many children in the years ahead. Most of these
children will come from mud huts scattered throughout the hills and valleys of the Village Hope community. Most are being
raised by an elderly grandparent or a single family member, and some have AIDs. Many had little chance of going to school,
until now. Just when it seems that there are no miracles left to expect....here comes another one...a Preschool at Village
Hope!!! Never doubt that all of us together can accomplish the impossible because, once again,we have!!!
With love, Pam
Village Hope Preschool Update
By: Pam Kidd
Te promise we make to our children as we baptize them is that we, the members of the church of Jesus Christ, will
by word and deed, with love and prayer, encourage them to know and follow Christ and to be faithful members of his
church. Tere are many ways we do that, but certainly none less important than through Sunday school and education.
Teaching and leading our children is a calling worthy of the worship of Jesus Christ; therefore, you are invited to
participate in commissioning this years Sunday school teachers, as well as the teachers for our Creative Care Center. On
Sunday, August 31st during our 10am worship service, we will say prayers, lay on hands, and send these faithful men and
women into the classroom for another year in service of the promises we have made.
Surely the best part you are also invited to a sit-down breakfast at 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall to meet our teachers
and to ofer your words of encouragement and thanks for all they do. Come and share in the fun and fellowship.

Hosting a Martha OBryan Center volunteer
A Rewarding Volunteer Opportunity for Women
Our handbells were refurbished at the end of May by Joe Easterly, a representative of the company that made our
bells, Malmark. Joe took the bells totally apart, polished, revoiced, and added new springs. They are good as new, and
we are determined to keep them bright and shiny by not touching the brass part, and polishing after every use.
We own five octaves of bells from teeny tiny to big heavy bells, but have only been ringing one and a half octaves
this summer (12 bells). We will begin practice in September on Wednesday evenings before dinner, or before choir
practice if there is no program. We definitely need one more ringer. If you are interested in joining our group, please
contact Suzy Bennett. Experience is not necessary, but reading music helps. Ringing is lots of fun. We have a good
time, and make beautiful music as well.
Our current ringers are: Dwight James, Kerry McCalla, Lynne McCalla, Jodie Poole, Gracyn Bancroft, Tom Limbird,
Bonnie Kerr, Pam Cass, Ann Webb Betty, Libby Smith. and Julia Harrell.

Sister Cities of Nashville is looking for a family willing to host one of two German students who will be
spending their civil service year in Nashville volunteering at the Martha OBryan Center and Preston Taylor
Ministries. Lena Rappolz will be working in the many important programs helping the families of the James A.
Cayce homes in East Nashville. Franz Zimmer will be helping with the afterschool program for K-5th grade
students at Preston Taylor Ministries.
Both students have had 10 years of English so knowledge of German is not required of the host family. Both
volunteers will have a car and will be working from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. Each one needs a
roof over their head and meals. Families with high school age children would be ideal, but other host or room-
mate opportunities would also be welcomed. Lena and Franz are arriving August 20 and will stay until summer
2015. Hosting opportunities could be for the whole ten months or a shorter segment if need be. Back-up
families can be lined up for hosts who need to be away.
Supporting one of these volunteers is a great way to contribute to a ministry that is changing the lives of some
of Nashvilles most vulnerable children. Please consider hosting for what ever amount of time works for your
family. Please contact Burkley Allen at 498-3235 or burkley.allen@gmail.com if you would be interested in
hosting Lena or Franz, or if you can suggest a family who would be appropriate.
Our congregation financially supports Better Decisions, a nonprofit organization that teaches decision-making skills to
inmates at the Tennessee Prison for Women. Would you like to experience first-hand the satisfaction that comes from
mentoring an incarcerated woman throughout the 8-week program?
The commitment involves attending the volunteer training weekend Sept. 13-14 (9-1 on Saturday, 1-6 on Sunday), meeting
with your inmate partner for one hour weekly during the weeks Sept. 22-Nov. 10, and attending graduation at 6:00 p.m.
on Nov. 17. You can register online at www.betterdecisions.org. Deadline: AUGUST 15.
Please note that the volunteer training weekend occurs just once a year. If youre interested in being part of this potentially
life-changing program, but cant make the Sept. 13-14 training, youll have to wait until September 2015 to participate.
For more information, please contact Executive Director Kathy Masulis at betterdecisions@gmail.com or at 832-8327.
Te Spirit of Life small group has met through the summer with some lively discussions. Jim Schleicher and Jody
Kelly gave presentations on diferent theologians, and in July, Jim Cozart presented his personal beliefs, along with
some favorite quotes. Each member will have an opportunity to present a program of their choice in the future.
Tanks go to Melinda Culver and Rod Bellomy for opening their home, and Steve and Sharon Yokely as well, who
provide an alternate location.
Our children had a great time at Boost this summer. Ten boys and girls spent two days a week practicing their
math and reading skills, playing games, and developing relationships with each other, their teachers, and other
helpers. Our teenagers read a popular novel, and then saw the movie. Tey agreed that the book was better than the
movie. Tanks so much to all who volunteered, teachers, readers, lunch ladies, and particularly Lindzey Neely, who
put an idea into action.
Hillsboros day at the Habitat Unity Build is Saturday, September 6th. Consider volunteering for such an
important cause! To signup or for more information, contact Kerry McCalla at kmccalla@bellsouth.net.
Habitat for Humanity Build Caroline is currently working on an updated church directory! Keep an eye out in the coming Sundays for a mockup
of the directory. We ask that you fnd your name and contact information on the directory that will be set up in the
foyer, and make sure everything is correct and up to date. Also, please initial next to your name afer you have looked
over your information. Tis will show Caroline that you have seen and verifed your address.

NAMI stands for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The organization had its beginning in 1979 when two or three mental
health specialists (who were also family members of someone suffering from a mental illness) got together in Madison, Wiscon-
sin and decided there was a need for an advocacy group for those suffering from a mental illness and their families. Word spread
rapidly and groups were formed throughout the country.
A few years later, six people met in a State Office building in Nashville to create a state-wide NAMI for Tennessee. There were
only four local groups the first year: Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville. Presently, there are around 40 local
groups throughout the state offering support, education, and advocacy to individuals and family members.
Hillsboro first became involved twenty years ago when a request for prayer came for someone who was hospitalized with a seri-
ous mental illness. Pastoral visits followed, a sermon on Christ and Mental Illness was preached, and a committee was formed.
Hillsboro co-sponsored with NAMI the first Interfaith Service of Worship to lift up those with a serious mental illness and their
families in October of 1996. It was an annual event here for 12 years. The Second Presbyterian Church became the new host in
2008 and continues the tradition.
For the past seven years, Hillsboro has participated in the NAMI-Walk with a team and donations in support of NAMI. This year,
our team raised $918.00. We will hear more about the work of NAMI-Davidson Co. on September 10th during the Fall series of
HTS.
WHAT IS NAMI?

Sunday Bus Ministry By: Penn Cobb
Hillsboro has been bringing a busfull of homeless men from downtown Nashville to the Sunday Workshop Service for a
little over 2 years. During the Winter, the HPC bus stops at the Room-in-the-Inn campus to pick up any churchgoers. In the
non-winter months. the bus stops at the Nashville Rescue Mission.
Up until last August, different members from Hillsboro would prepare 12 sack lunches to give to our guests to take with them
after the Sunday service. Last Fall, discussions were held with a representative of Jasons Deli in Cool Springs which resulted in
their giving us a special price on 12 box lunches. Jasons saw this as an opportunity to serve the community, along with
Hillsboro, and this partnership has turned out to be a real blessing. It has only been possible because of the commitment by
Hillsboro members to minister to Nashvilles homeless. By making donations to HPC with Sunday Box Lunch Program in the
memo field, Hillsboro has so far been able to cover the cost of the box lunches.
There is one main need that this ministry does have, and that is the need for more drivers. The driving duties would be
occasional. It could be monthly, or however often it fits into schedules. Drivers are needed to pick our guests up downtown
and also to return them after the Worship Service. Pick up downtown in the morning during the summer schedule is 9:20
a.m. When the church has 2 services the pickup time is 10:40 a.m. Anyone interested in donating their valuable time to a good
cause can ride with the current drivers to better understand what is involved. A special drivers license is not required since
our church bus and van are both under 16 passengers. Get in touch with me (penn.cobb@gmail.com) if you are interested in
volunteering. Thank you!
