- Greenwood Salkehatchie Summer Service Project -- June 25 - July 2, 2005 Slide Show
The first Greenwood Salkehatchie summer Service Project (camp) was held June 25 until July 2, 2005. The camp was developed by The Reverend Jim Dennis at Main Street UMC in Greenwood, SC. The camp was blessed with the help of many individuals -- at least six districts of the SC Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church were represented. Nine churches in those six districts had participants which together worked on four homes in the Greenwood area. The nucleus of the work group was formed by workers who "camped" at Main Street UMC for seven nights. These workers represented their churches well and accomplished many tasks:- stripping shingles from three roofs
- repairing/replacing rafters and decking
- repairing/replacing flooring and joists
- applying paper and new shingles
- scraping
- painting
- applying new plaster and drywall
- and many other projects as the needs arose
Here is a brief listing of the churches and districts represented during the week at the work sites:
