Camp Hill UMC Strengthens Ties in Panguma, Sierra Leone

By Beth Notarfrancesco

Recently, a team from the Camp Hill United Methodist Church returned to their sister church, Lower Bombara UMC, in Panguma, Sierra Leone, West Africa to rejuvenate the relationship that suffered a 3-year break due to the COVID pandemic. The relationship between the two communities was developed from the partnership the church had with the Sierra Leone Initiative www.susmb.org/sierra-leone-initative/) and grew with yearly voyages to the village. 

The five-person team for 2022 consisted of Jim Clahane, Marsha Curry-Nixon, Beth Notarfrancesco, Denise Paran and Mark Vickrey. Confirming the commitment to the community was the primary focus for the trip although they were also able to spend time with the church, schools, hospital, and dedicating a community market. 


The dedication of the community market was a highlight of the trip for many as the project’s origination started back in the fall of 2015. Camp Hill UMC partnered with Community Empowerment for Livelihood and Development (CELAD) to work with the community-at-large to determine what they most needed. It was decided by the Panguma community leaders and elders that a market structure would be of greatest benefit to the entire community. In 2018 physical construction began and the market came to completion just prior to the team’s arrival in 2022. Two widely loved and respected leaders, Bishop John K Yambasu and Amadu Ndoeka Sr went on to rest with their Lord and Savior during the building of the market and so the dedication of the Amadu Ndoeka Memorial Market became as much of a day of memory and honor as joy and commencement.


The team also spent time revisiting a long-standing scholarship program in which the church has raised and invested more than $340,000 over 12 years to assist in the education of students within the UMC schools in Panguma. Changes in educational funding in recent years as well as changes in leadership determined the need for this re-evaluation. With the wisdom and assistance of Josepha Pormai, Secretary of Secondary Education for the Sierra Leone Annual Conference, the team was able to gather the information necessary to bridge the educational partnership between the two communities into its next season. This partnership is helping to improve the education and opportunity for education to children living in Panguma with the hope of bettering the lives of families one child at a time. 

The team returned home encouraged by the many ways they saw God at work throughout their journey and credits the Sierra Leone Initiative for opening the door of opportunity for the development of this relationship which has changed lives on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean to and for the glory of God. 

God is good all the time. All the time God is good! 



For the Transformation of the World: Meditations from the Civil Rights Journey

Rev. Kevin Witt, Director of Growing Spiritual Transformational Leaders

In June, 41 leaders from the Susquehanna Conference visited key sites within the Civil Rights Movement. We spoke with people directly involved and heard first-hand the struggles and suffering they willingly endured to dismantle racism and transform the world through the power of love. Repeatedly, we discovered the active role of people of faith inspired by God. 

Powers confronted were not simply individual acts of racism against people of color. With non-violent resistance and creative alternatives, they challenged structures and perspectives weaved into the very fabric of community life. They called for new ways of relating by doing good and avoiding harm. They shed light on and resisted laws unequally and unfairly applied, disparity in access to health care, devaluing of people of a different race, efforts to hinder economic and educational opportunities, blaming victims for brutality and injustice inflicted upon them, and denial of voting rights for vast numbers of African Americans. 

Courageous, everyday people asked what love calls for, spoke truthfully, marched peacefully, went to jail, worked to build Beloved Community in America, risked ridicule and beatings, and even died side by side with others suffering. Stiff opposition came not only from those wanting to maintain the status quo but also from those uncomfortable with any discord, difficult conversations, or targeted reactions by people bullying others into submission. Fear and conflict avoidance impeded love and justice. 

What wisdom can we glean as we tackle racism and injustices in our own time and join God in the transformation of the world? 

 Jesus clarifies the core of faith and life. 

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:36-39

Let us not relegate justice to law and politics, as if it has nothing to do with spiritual practice. Cornel West says so well – “Justice is what love looks like in public.” Remain keenly aware that love involves more than compassion – “feeling with or for people”. Justice, also, calls for intentional relationships with people being harmed. It means suffering with those who suffer at some level to bring about change. There is no way to love and work for justice without giving and sharing of ourselves in some real way. It can be joyful, but it isn’t passive.

For perspective, here is a quote from Rev. Martin Luther King

“We shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our capacity to endure suffering. We shall meet your physical force with soul force. Do to us what you will, and we shall continue to love you. We cannot in all good conscience obey your unjust laws, because noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. Throw us in jail, and we shall still love you. Bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we shall still love you. Send your hooded perpetrators of violence into our community at the midnight hour and beat us and leave us half dead, and we shall still love you. But be assured that we will wear you down by our capacity to suffer. One day we shall win freedom, but not only for ourselves. We shall so appeal to your heart and conscience that we shall win you in the process, and our victory will be a double victory.” 

Becoming the Beloved Community: Our Covenant Against Racism

A Covenant of the Susquehanna Conference Cabinet

We acknowledge racism is sin. It is the opposite of the commandment Jesus identified as the greatest of all: to love God and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Racism contradicts love, causing great harm and a profound disconnect with others and with God.

We acknowledge our failing as a church and as disciples of Christ in not taking sustained and deliberate action to eradicate the sin of racism that continues to oppress African Americans and people of color in our country and around the world.

Therefore, as members of the Cabinet of the Susquehanna Conference, we covenant with God and with each other to take the following steps to correct our errors of faith and practice:

  • We humbly acknowledge our roles in perpetuating the sin of racism within ourselves, our families, our churches, and our world.
  • We lament the harm our actions and inaction have brought to millions of people Christ called us to love as our neighbors.
  • We commit to gracefully support and hold each other accountable for taking actions that dismantle racism and join with God in growing the Beloved Community.
  • We commit to prayerfully encourage each other, and to offer and receive honest feedback as brothers and sisters in Christ. We also will include critical reflection in our annual one-on-ones, as well in our yearly goal setting and evaluation as a Coordinating Cabinet. 
  • We also commit to evaluate our progress towards specific goals towards Becoming the Beloved Community at each Coordinating Cabinet meeting.


In Mark 12:30-31, Jesus counsels: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”


Lamentations:

As people of faith, we acknowledge our lack of love and failure to respect the dignity of every human being. Often, we have fallen short of the glory of God, corporately and individually. We now honestly name aspects of our lament:

Some of us have benefitted greatly from our nation’s founding which included the genocide of Native American and the suffering of enslaved people. Generations of white Americans have enjoyed unparalleled freedom and prosperity, while generations of descendants of African American slaves have faced unspeakable brutality and oppression. This system of racial domination has hurt many people of color, including Asian Americans and those of Hispanic heritage.

  • Our history clearly shows some of us have courageously worked to eradicate slavery, segregation and oppression, risking ridicule, condemnation, injury and death. But, we lament that too often we have stood by or helped to perpetuate a system that hinders a fullness of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for people of color. Too many of us have benefitted and continue to benefit from a system that blocked generations of African Americans and other people of color from enjoying quality education, decent housing, employment, and access to healthcare without taking any real action to address those inequalities. Too many of us still do not want to examine or acknowledge the ongoing damage caused by our tolerance of racial injustice within our communities, our churches, our families, and within our own hearts.
  • We lament our Church’s history in denying the value and humanity of people of color by disparaging their language, cultures, and achievements. And too often, we joined others in deliberately placing obstacles to block their success.
  • We lament our history shows too few church leaders displayed the moral courage to stand with persons and communities who are marginalized and oppressed, when it meant they had to share in the suffering to change what was happening. We lament that is still true today.


For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you invited me in... Matthew 25:35


We covenant to meditate on the life and teachings of Jesus, who called on His followers to stand with those in need; to stand with those who are suffering and with those who are oppressed.

We covenant to attend to our own growth in anti-racism and building the Beloved Community by spending time in each Coordinating Cabinet in follow up on recommendations based on the Intercultural Development Inventory process.

We covenant to re-examine the full history of our nation, our communities, and our church to educate those in our communities about the role white communities of faith have played in hurting others, so we can see and intentionally turn in the direction of love.

We covenant to reject willful ignorance and to educate ourselves on how some have benefitted from a system that has oppressed millions of people from the founding of our country.

We covenant to create and implement within the Cabinet and in our districts standards, policies, programs, and relationships that make our commitment to fighting racism a visible reality.

We covenant to use whatever privilege we have to work with and for people of color to overcome systems of institutional racism that continue to deny them equal access to a more bountiful life offered to white citizens.

We covenant to show courage and to devise loving ways to counter the daily acts of racism and exclusion many of us regularly witness, including within our Cabinet and within our social circles.

We covenant to use the influence of our office to encourage pastors and laity under our charge to work against racism and to welcome people of all races, cultures and ethnicities by providing them full equality, value and voice within our congregations and within the body of Christ.

This covenant is made in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior... and in keeping with our pledge to make disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world.

Hearts Strangely Warmed - Pastor Elizabeth Jackson


“While the leader was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.” — John Wesley, May 24, 1738 

God calls us to tell our story so that others may come to know Jesus Christ. “Hearts Strangely Warmed” was created to share these stories about transformational encounters with the Living God.


Pastor Elizabeth Jackson
Commissioned as a Provisional Elder in 2022

I always grew up in the church, but never liked going. When my grandfather died and I lost my best friend, I questioned everything in life, including how a loving God would take him away. I couldn’t believe a loving God would do something like that, so I gave up on God. Yet, God never gave up on me. God kept sending people into my life who showed me more of who God is. 

When my friend in high school invited me to youth group, everything changed. It brought me to a place where I accepted God as my Savior. A year later when I lost my grandmother, it brought me to a very dark place. But through my pastors at Bethany UMC in Red Lion, Charlie Salisbury and Cathy Boileau, I took that first step out of that dark place and started to believe that God had something better for me. 

Memorial Day weekend of 2003, the high schoolers of the youth group held a special event for the junior high youth. It was at this event, that I knew God was calling me to serve him, I was just unsure of how. In college, I realized that God was calling me to pastoral ministry. I started the process, but it terrified me. I had great examples of pastors, but felt that I couldn’t be like them, so therefore, couldn’t be a pastor. 

I dropped out of the candidacy process, convinced God made a mistake, and instead pursued the career of mental health counseling. My goal was to become a licensed professional counselor and serve as an outpatient therapist. Through years of hard work, I arrived. The work I was doing was valuable and necessary, but I felt unfulfilled. It felt like something was missing, but I couldn’t put it into words at the time. 

When I attended Bible study around that time, at Church of the Good Shepherd (Lebanon, PA), discussion with a retired UM pastor made me realize something; I had been neglecting my call to ministry. 

Over the years my call had never changed, even though almost a decade had passed. Still, God used this time to further prepare me and equip me to serve him. When I started the process over again to become a pastor, there was a calm reassurance that I was doing exactly what I needed to be doing. While I still questioned if I had what it would take, I held firm to the words of Joshua 1:9, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 

God has grown me in ways I could have never imagined possible, and I am excited to continue serving God as pastor. It is my hope that I can help those who struggle with mental illness to feel a sense of belonging, welcome, and understanding in the church. Like I experienced in my youth, I hope to help others to find hope in the midst of whatever darkness they are facing. After all, the church is a place where we can go with all our hurts, and lay them at the foot of the cross, experiencing the healing only Jesus can bring.

Seedling's Wind-Up Plan



On June 3, 2022, The Susquehanna Annual Conference voted to wind up and terminate Seedling Financial Ministry over the next few years.

Here are answers to some of the questions you may have:

Why is seedling proposing a wind-up plan?

As we look forward to seeing the viability of Seedling Financial Ministry, we see uncertainty as to the volume of new construction and additions to existing structures for many churches due to Covid and other issues impacting in-person attendance at Church Services as well as other meetings and activities. 

As membership decreases, so does the need for loans. Our mission states that we extend loans to churches. but our last new loan closed in January 2020. If we are unable to make new loans and replace maturing loans in the future, we could experience a significant reduction in our cash flow available to pay principal and interest on our outstanding investment certificates when due. 

Additionally, if we continue down this path, we may be subject to increased scrutiny from our securities regulator. Under the current circumstances, we believe that the timing is right to wind up this ministry over the next few years. 

Why now?

The Board of Trustees, CF&A, Seedling’s Board of Directors, and Cabinet have reviewed and considered all of the relevant information and deem it advisable and in the best interests of the Conference that now is the time for Seedling to wind up and terminate its operations. 

Seedling is currently in a financial position to be able to pay our investors at maturity without having to have church’s payoff their loans immediately. This is a win-win situation in that our investors will receive their funds and our churches can continue making regular payments to their loans.

What happens to my money that I invested with Seedling?

If you have a term certificate, your investment will automatically redeem and be paid out with interest on its maturity date. 

If you have a Savings or Demand Certificate, you can choose to withdraw those funds at any time as long as it is done prior to December 31, 2024. Please contact us to redeem your investments prior to the above date. Any Demand or Savings Certificates still open on December 31, 2024, will be automatically redeemed.

Interest will no longer be able to be compounded, so an interest check will be issued for those who currently have their interest compounded.

What happens to my church’s loan?

Your church’s loan will remain the same. The terms will remain the same and the payments will remain the same. In fact, you will see no change at all. Your church will still be required continue to make payments on their loan until it is paid off.

After Seedling’s investors have all been paid out, the Finance Office will take over the administration of the loans (accepting payments, generating statements etc.). The only change is that we will no longer be able to refinance existing loans or extend new loans to churches.

What is the time frame for winding up?

Since the proposal was approved at Annual Conference on June 3, 2022, the plan will go into effect immediately. We expect that the majority of the investments will be paid out by December 31, 2024, with only the longest-term investments remaining. The last investments to mature will redeem in 2027. 

What is the benefit to Seedling winding up?

We view this as refocus on mission. After repayment in full of all of Seedling’s outstanding investment certificates, and all current loans have been paid back in full, the entire capital account of Seedling will be available to the Conference in which CF&A will oversee and recommend usage for available monies to support existing and/or new ministry opportunities. 

We anticipate the value to be more than $8 million. If that’s the case, Seedling will be able to provide the “seed monies” to fund existing ministries and/or start new mission opportunities.

I will be remaining at Seedling for the next few years to ensure that the Wind-Up plan is facilitated appropriately. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 717-591-4099 or at csims@susumc.org and I will be happy to speak with you. Through the years we have helped hundreds of churches grow their ministry and you can be proud of the ministry you have partnered with. 

Sincerely,

Christine Sims, Executive Director
