Immigration stories sought for new book

Many of us have immigration stories that may get lost or forgotten over time. We come from interesting places all over the world.  

Arlene Andrews, member of Trinity United Methodist Church, Blythewood, and Advocate Editor Jessica Brodie are collecting stories of South Carolina United Methodists who immigrated to the United States in the past 100 years or so. The stories will be shared through a book slated for publication by the Advocate Press, the newspaper’s book-publishing division. 

If you are interested in sharing your story or know someone affiliated with the UMC in South Carolina who would be interested in this project, contact Arlene Andrews at [email protected].  

“Tell us about yourself or an ancestor,” Andrews said. “You can share a written story or just talk with one of us, and we’ll be glad to write it for your approval. Let’s celebrate who we are.”
