St, Michael's Church Sends Youth Volunteers to Appalachia
This summer, St. Michael’s Episcopal Church sent twelve young people, together with four adult leaders, to spend a week working with the Appalachian Service Project (ASP), a long-established organization that supports house repairs for low-income families in Appalachia. One of the young people, Grace Ballenger, wrote the following account to give church members an idea of her experiences. The Rev. Christine Whittaker.

In July I was given the incredible opportunity to journey to West Virginia with fifteen other volunteers from Saint Michael’s. We were away for nine days, and spent five days in West Virginia working on two different houses. We spent part of each day in work, in fellowship, and in prayer. Here I will attempt to share what a day from ASP is like.

Mike Lake, a Dog in the Race
Last week I remarked on the way the tiny little analysts in my morning radio were reporting the different primary results from around the nation —how it seemed the sum and substance of the political contest was how the dollars played out —what cold hard cash 'Candidate A' had spent as opposed to 'Candidate B' and what he or she had left in his or her pocket for the general elections.
