Dedicated to Jesus Christ, we are committed to making a difference by
caring for one another, growing in our ministries, and reaching beyond ourselves.
PARSON TO PERSON
January 22, 2014 Issue No. 1
As we move into the second month of an exciting and promising new year for our congregation, we cannot
escape that fact that everything new requires change. I share the following “food for thought” reminding us that
all growing things encounter constant adjustments. While the alternative to having to make changes and
adjustments is possible, it is not very promising or encouraging or desired as this reflection indicates.
“Living churches have parking problems,
Dying churches don’t.
Living churches have lots of noisy activities,
Dying church are peaceful like a tomb.
Living churches are always looking to the future for ways to serve,
Dying churches are all too happy to worship their glorious past.
Living churches change so frequently you can forget a lot of names,
Dying churches. . .everyone has known everyone’s name for years.
Living churches support missions even if it hurts,
Dying churches keep it all at home.
Living churches dream great dreams for the Lord,
Dying churches are content to relive old nightmares.
Living churches won’t find “can’t” in their dictionary,
Dying churches won’t find much else.
Living churches evangelize.
Dying churches fossilize!”
Blessings throughout 2014 and Beyond,
Dan

I can do everything through Him who
gives me strength. Phil. 4:13
Associate professor Don Whitney from
Southern Baptist Seminary wrote a
long list of questions to ask as we
head into the new year. I've borrowed
a few:
♦
What can you do to improve the quality of family life
this year?
♦
In which spiritual discipline do you want to make
progress this year?
♦
What is the single biggest time waster in your life,
and what can be done to change that?
♦
What is the most helpful way you could strengthen
your church?
♦
What one thing could you do to improve your prayer
life?
♦
What area of your life needs simplifying?
Sympathy to Caroline Baesler on the death of her
brother-in-law in Memphis.
♦
What can you do to enrich your spiritual legacy to
your family?
Second Church member Anne Warren recently
published her memoirs titled A Late Line of Crimson
Sun. This book is available at Amazon.com.
♦
In what area of life do you most need change?
Gale Reece received the 2014 Spirit Award from the
Lexington Forum for her work in creating ITN Bluegrass
(Independent Transportation Network) and for the IKnow
Expo for the elderly.
Sympathy to Belva Collins on the death of her
father.
Sympathy to Elizabeth Briggs on the death of her

5TH GRADE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER REFLECTION
Dear Parents of Second Presbyterian Church 5th Grade
Sunday School Class.
On behalf of Matt, Mike and Mackenzie may I tell you how
much we are enjoying your beautiful children in our
Sunday school class. Their curiosity, intellect and
wonderful sense of humor keep us hopping. Most
importantly, their willingness to share their faith and
explore other spiritual issues makes for a wonderful hour
together every Sunday morning. I encourage you to keep
bringing them on Sundays as their individual and
collective presence is the key to a rich exchange. We are
honored and grateful for the opportunity to work with such
bright and enthusiastic young people. As a class project
we elected to serve as Salvation Army Bell Ringers at the
Beaumont Kroger. Given the opportunity to choose a way
to be of service to God during the Advent Season, the
kids picked this project. They were excited to sing
Christmas Song and play their favorite instruments if they
have one.

ITN VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED
As a member of Second
Presbyterian Church, it is likely
that you have established
valuable relationships with
many fellow members and look
forward to seeing these people
every week at church services,
Sunday school or fellowship opportunities at church.
Some of these members may be unable to drive and
have difficulty finding transportation; thanks to a
partnership between Second and ITNBluegrass, you
can make it easier and more affordable for senior
members and those with visual impairments to continue
coming to services and other activities at Second.
It’s an easy thing to doOprovide one afternoon a week
or a few hours a month to be a volunteer driver for
ITNBluegrass. You receive training and an ITN
dispatcher will arrange your driving assignments and
routes to fit your schedule. For more information, visit
www.itnbluegrass.org or contact ITNBluegrass at (859)

HOPE CENTER 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS DINNER
2014 DINNERS FOR 7 & 8
On December 30, those dining at the Hope Center's Jacobs
Hope Cafeteria were treated to a delicious meal of fried
chicken, new potatoes with parsley and butter, green
beans,
tossed
salad,
bread,
clementines,
and
an assortment of drinks and desserts, all donated by
Second Church as a part of the 12 Days of Christmas
celebration at the Hope Center. Thanks to all those who
brought in two liter drinks for the dinner and a special
thanks to member Mike McLaughlin and his company,
Hippo Crate Moving Storage, who donated 12 cases of 20
oz. bottles of soda that were used not only for the dinner on
the 30th but also for the Hope Center's Community
Christmas party on December 19th that Second provided
drinks and refreshments for. To the great serving staff who
braved the cold to come out and serve 242 the night of
the dinner, many thanks! They included: Laura, Cody and
Elizabeth Cook, Becky, Jim and Sarah Drahovzol, Evelyn
Kramer, Mary & Charles McGaha, Mike McLaughlin, Joy
and Madeline Oakley, Roger Parry, Hendy, Lou and
Charley Seelbach.
Would you like to meet new
friends? Are you looking for
fellowship? Participating in
Dinners for 7 or 8 is a
golden
opportunity
to
renew old friendships and
make new ones. Adults of every age are welcome
to participate, members and non-members, singles
or in pairs.
Second provides volunteers to serve the 3rd and 4th
Monday of every month at the Jacobs Hope Cafeteria
(299 West Loudon Avenue) with the meal being served
from 5 to 6:00 p.m.---no set up or clean up required. If you

JUSTICE MINISTRY NEWS
"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice....." Isaiah 30:18
Seeking justice in action is a faithful response to the Bible's
teaching. Your presence will be vitally supportive to our
most vulnerable citizens at an extremely important
stakeholder's meeting with Mayor Gray and our council
members this Thursday, January 23, 6:30 PM at Central
Christian Church. Representatives from our schools,
Community Action Council, Habitat for Humanity, KY
Utilities, Lex. Clinic, KY Housing, etc., will share with our
city leaders how the lack of affordable housing affects their
constituents. With 1 out of 5 families in Lex. unable to afford
their rent (this IS different from the homelessness issue,
BUT the risk of being homeless is great for these working
poor families!), these organizations support the diligent,
comprehensive work of BUILD these past 6 years. This
worsening crisis needs to be resolved!
On Sunday, February 23 at 12:15 (boxed lunch
provided) in the Forum Room will be our congregation's
Justice Ministry Network meeting. The agenda will include
a Biblical reflection for Doing Justice, issue updates
(including the 'new' Crime & Justice research progress),
preparing for the March 17th Rally and April 8th Nehemiah
Action, etc. It is important that all network members make
every effort to attend. Anyone interested in learning
more about justice ministry is welcomed to 'come and
listen.'
HOW/WHERE: 7 or 8 people are assigned for
dinner at a designated home. The host/hostess
provides the main dish and beverage. Guests are
assigned to bring either a salad and bread, a
vegetable, or a dessert. The meal may be as
informal or formal as the host/hostess chooses. The
food may be home-made or from the grocery store.
The emphasis is on the fellowship not the food or
décor.
Dinners are scheduled for Saturday evenings
(February 22, March 15 and April 12). The host
may choose either Friday, Saturday or Sunday
evening of the same weekend if that proves more
convenient for members of the group. You can
either entertain at your home or co-host with another
member at their home. If due to limited space you
are unable to host a dinner for 7 or 8, but could
comfortably host a dinner for 6, please contact us
and we will try to make that happen. The time to sign
up is now! Register on the website www.2preslex.org
or call the church office (254-7768) The deadline
for registrations is February 2. If you have any
questions, contact Mike Garrett ([email protected]
or 229-0910).
THE GIVING TREE
Items placed under the 2013 Giving Tree have all now
been distributed to the residents of Canaan House,
the Women's Recovery Center, Hope Center,
Westminster Village and ITN of the Bluegrass; from
the personal toiletries to the beautiful, handmade
caps, thank you!
ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
The Advent season has come and gone. And, thanks
to the help of members and staff, our second annual Advent devotional has been published and
read by members of our congregation. I hope it
was helpful to you as you journeyed through the Advent season.
If you'd like to share some thoughts about the Advent
devotional or would have to contribute to the devotional that's planned for Advent, 2014, please email Sally
Scherer ([email protected]).
