2016 Diocese of Delaware Convention
[This article was penned by our Rector for publication
in the January edition of the Diocese of Delaware’s newspaper, The Communion. This is a welcome to all in the
diocese as Saint David’s hosts this year’s Convention.]
T
he last time Saint David’s hosted a diocesan
convention was just over forty years ago in
1975. Christmas wish lists included “pet rocks”
and a new electronic game -- “Pong” (made by
Atari and sold exclusively at America’s premier
retailer, Sears). The movie Jaws was ruining
summer vacations. Gas prices rose to an
astounding 57 cents a gallon because crude oil
topped $13 a barrel! Betamax and VHS videos were
introduced allowing us to record episodes of our
favorite TV shows like “All in the Family.”
Meanwhile, 8-track cassettes allowed us to enjoy
musical talents of The Captain and Tenille, Pink
Floyd, Black Sabbath, and Earth, Wind, and Fire!
Back then the “new” Prayer Book was only a proposal and female priests were being “irregularly”
ordained. The Diocese of Delaware was caught up
in the excitement of welcoming our newly elected
diocesan bishop, William Clark.
Now after all these years, the clergy and congregation of Saint David’s look forward to hosting this
annual gathering for a second time as we anticipate
greeting our fellow Episcopalians from across the
great state of Delaware. Representatives from all
our congregations and communities will gather
January 29th and 30th at the Embassy Suites Hotel
Continued on next page...

in Newark, to conduct the so-called
business of the church: to elect people
to various servant leadership posts, to
empower our common ministry through
the approval of a budget, to hear updates
on various ministries, etc. Maybe best of
all, we will also have opportunities for
social time and for worship as we explore
the convention theme “Developing a
Culture of Generosity.”
So much has changed in the years since
last we hosted but Saint David’s
continues today as it was way back when
– a parish and preschool where disciples
of all ages are welcomed and encouraged
to grow in faith, hope and love.
We are looking forward to continuing
the unchanging tradition of host parishes
helping to make convention a warm,
welcoming, and memorable time for the
diocesan family. We are eager to greet
you at the registration table in the hotel
lobby and to pray beside you in worship.
We also hope that you will accept an
invitation to stop by our display table
to learn more about the programs and
ministries of our parish and pre-school.
We are glad to be among you and to be
your host parish.
-Brad Hinton

Epiphany: The Season of Light
Epiphany, from the Greek word epiphaneia, means an appearance or manifestation. Christians
celebrate this festival each year on January 6, the 12th day after Christmas. Epiphany ends on
Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins. Epiphany marks the coming of the Magi, or wise men, to
worship the baby Jesus. Because the Magi were Gentiles, Epiphany symbolizes the first recognition of Christ by non-Jews. It’s a reminder that Christ came as the light — and Savior — of
the whole world.
The traditional color for Epiphany is green, indicating life, growth, hope and eternity. Symbols
for the season include a light, candle or star; a crown or three crowns; three gifts; and a globe.
In the modern church, Epiphany has become time to focus on reaching out and “showing”
Jesus as the Savior of all people. It’s also a reminder to engage in Christian community and to
heal divisions among God’s children.
Christian Witness from Great People of Faith
January 2016: Excerpts From a Sermon by Leo the Great
The day on which Christ, the Savior of the world, first appeared to the Gentiles is a great day
of celebration for us all. In our hearts we should be experiencing those same joys which the
three Magi first felt when, urged on by the sign and leading of a new star, they fell down in
worship before the visible presence of the king of heaven and earth, in whose promise they
believed. Although this feast celebrates an event which took place many years ago, we are not
simply commemorating an episode which has been handed down to us from the past. Our
bounteous God is giving us the same gift now.
The gospel records the circumstances in which these three men, who had no previous
knowledge of the Jewish prophets or law, came from the remotest regions in the East to
acknowledge the true God. But we see the same thing occurring before our eyes in the way in
which people from far and wide who have been called by God, are receiving the light of faith.
The prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled among us: “The LORD has bared his holy arm in the
sight of the nations, and all the nations of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.”
And again: “those who were not told of him shall see, and those who had not heard will
understand.” We are seeing people who have only a worldly kind of knowledge and who are
far from belief in Jesus Christ, being led out of the darkness ……to acknowledge the light.
There can be no doubt that the splendor of God’s grace is at work among us; and whatever
new light shines in their darkened hearts is coming from rays of that same star which lead us
all to the worship of God.
The gifts the Magi first brought to Bethlehem are still being offered by all who come to Christ
in faith. When we acclaim Christ as King of the universe we bring him gold from the treasury
of our hearts; when we believe that the only-begotten of God has become one with our
human nature, we are offering myrrh for his embalming; and when we declare him equal in
majesty to the father, we are burning the incense of our worship before him.

Stuff-A-Backpack with TLC
February 7—February 22
On February 7 the Outreach Committee will begin
collecting “stuffings” for our Stuff A Backpack with
TLC project for Foster Children. We need backpacks
as well as stuffings and will designate each
backpack by gender and age group as to who will
receive them. When shopping, consider how your
items will bring comfort to a child who has been
removed from his/her family. Feel free to include
something you believe a child would appreciate
even if it isn’t listed below. These backpacks are
more a “care package” rather than school supplies, although a few school
supplies are likely needed.
Backpack
Comb and brush
Toothpaste
Toothbrush
Washcloth
Water Bottle
Lotion
Lip Balm
Socks
Tissues
Stuffed Animals
Nightlight
Disposable Razors
Shaving Cream
Snacks
Tampons
Deodorant
Pens, Pencils
Notepads
Body Wash
Crayons
Sketchpads
Shampoo
Something Special

Food Treat
If you would like to be part of this project, bring your purchases to church
by February 28 and place them in the bins located in the narthex.
Many thanks,

Ten Things Food Banks Need,
But Won't Ask For
Some items are in high demand at the
food bank and you may not realize it.
Because they aren’t essentials, the staff
doesn’t publicly ask for them. A survey
on Reddit.com asked volunteers what
items people would be most appreciative
of and we’ve listed the top 10 below.
If you’re looking for an easy way to help
out, pick some of these up while
shopping and drop them off at one of
our area food banks.
1. Spices.
Think about it. People who rely on the
food bank eat a lot of canned food, rice,
oatmeal, white bread, etc. They love
spices. Seasoned salt, cayenne pepper,
chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg,
allspice, oregano, basil and so on.
2. Feminine Products.
Can you imagine being worried about
affording these? Pads, tampons, panty
liners, etc. Recommended: Buy in bulk at
Costco for donating.
3. Chocolate.
People don’t need it, but think about
being in their shoes and how nice it
would be to be given a chocolate bar or
brownie mix along with your essentials.
5. Toiletries
Grocery stores are great about donating
surplus or unsold food, but they have no
reason to donate toilet paper, tooth
paste, soap, deodorant, shampoo, etc.
Food stamps often don’t cover these.
6. Canned meats and jerky.
This isn’t true of all food banks, but some
struggle to give users enough protein.
7. Crackers and tortillas.
They don’t spoil and everybody likes
them.
8. Baby toiletries.
Diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, baby
shampoo, baby soap, baby food, bottles,
etc.
9. Socks.
From a former homeless person: “Socks
mean the world to you. They keep you
warm, make you feel like you have
something new, and just comfort you.”
10. Canned fruit…
...other than pineapple.
4. Soup packets.
Food banks get a lot of pineapple
donated. Their clients love it when
other kinds of fruit are available.
Sometimes you look at rice, beans,
instant potatoes, and cans of vegetable
and think, “What do I make with this?”
Hearty soup is a complete meal.
And remember! Food banks love cash
donations because it allows them to buy
whatever they need!

That’s right – registration for our 61st school
year begins this month. Our Board of Directors establishes the tuition and other fees.
Current families register first, beginning on
January 7th. Priority is then given to parishioners, siblings of alumni and children of
alumni on the waiting list, before opening to
the general public. Our Winter Open House is
scheduled for Sunday, February 14th, from
1:00-3:00 pm.
Calling All Alumni!
Did you come to St. David’s Church
because your child or children attended
St. David’s Day School? We are compiling a
list of alumni (and their parents or
grandparents) to make sure that they know
about our 60th Anniversary Gala that is just
four months away.
A sampling of the things we’d like to hear
about:
 Where did they go on to college
 Where do they live now?
 Who are the doctors and lawyers among
them?
 Any published authors?
 Anyone inspired to be a teacher because
of their days at St. David’s Day School?
 Who owns a successful business?
 What is their (or your) fondest memory
of St. David’s Day School?
Our planning committee wants to
feature them during the Gala – to showcase
their memories and accomplishments. Look
for the short survey in the bulletins later this
month and in the February Glad Tidings and
return it to the Day School office.
And be sure your calendar is marked to join
in the celebration on Saturday, April 9, 2016
from 7:00 to 10:00 pm in the Great Hall!
Birthday Wishes
Happy January Birthday to Shari McAllister!

Diamond Jubilee
The GALA Committee is now seeking
donations of goods and services for the
SILENT AUCTION and raffles which will
take place at the 60th Anniversary GALA on
Saturday, April 9th in our Great Hall!
Donations from local businesses,
restaurants, retailers and independent
businesses are welcome! This is also an ideal
way to make good use of that
appliance you received for Christmas but
it was not on your wish list!! You can share
a hobby (cooking lessons, a
hand-made blanket, an array of herbs).
We’d love to have a beach house,
mountain cottage, or a week in your
timeshare to auction off! Speak to me,
Father Brad, or any of our Board
members for more information! Look
for ticket sales to begin in February!!!

Book Fair Thanks!
A huge thank you to all who purchased
books at the Scholastic Book Fair last month.
It was a big success, earning over 1600
“Scholastic dollars” for the teachers to
spend on books and other learning materials
for their classrooms.
St. David’s Day School to Host
NKAD
On Tuesday, January 12, 2016, our school is
pleased to welcome local early
childhood professionals for an evening
workshop. The NKAD (Nursery-Kindergarten
Association of Delaware) was formed in 1963
to provide promote high standards among
preschools. Today it is an organization in
which members can participate in the
sharing of ideas and/or concerns. Several
professional meetings take place during the
school year at member schools throughout
the state, to provide an opportunity for
professional growth and development.
All of our classrooms will be open for our
peers from other preschools, daycares,
family home care programs, and schools to
view our room arrangements and materials.
Following the classroom time, attendees will
gather in the nave for a two-hour workshop
(which fulfills Delaware’s professional
development requirement for early
childhood educators).

Christmas Pageant Thank You
A hearty THANK YOU to all those who
helped make this last year’s Christmas
Pageant so successful. The children
retold the story of God come down to us,
the parents offered support and food
and photography, and the leadership
offered guidance and talent. A special
thanks goes out to all who helped
clothe, feed, and herd the ‘sheep.’
Thank you, as well, to all those who help
throughout the entire year who help ‘tell
the story’...the story of the Grace and
Love of God, told through the person of
Jesus Christ. We are blessed with
children, we are blessed to care and
nurture them. Again, many thanks.

Vestry Highlights
At its December 14, 2015 meeting, your Vestry . . .

heard from Treasurer Karen Olmstead that pledge income
for 2015 down for the year.

approved the 2016 budget, which reflects both a lower funding stream
than in previous years (loss of Cricket rental, change in pledging units);
and trimmed expenses with what is hoped will be minimal impact on
programming.

discussed and approved 2016 events like the Diocesan Convention,
Cathedral Choir School visit, the Day School 60th Anniversary Gala,
and the change in the Annual Meeting date.
Respectfully submitted,
Janet Leishman,
Clerk of the Vestry
Attention VANCO Pledgers
If you changed your pledge amount for 2016,
be sure to fill out a new form, which is available
in the lobby on the table.
The Gifts for Stewardship
“For minds to think, and hearts to love,
and hands to serve, we thank you, Lord.”
(BCP, p. 837)
The start of a new year is a time for looking forward, for
defining our goals, and perhaps even for making resolutions.
It prompts us to clarify what we seek to achieve and how we
might help others in the months ahead. If we had any doubt,
the Litany of Thanksgiving reminds us that God has given us all
we need to be good stewards. Each of us can serve with what
we’ve been given. We just need to start.

‘Only’ Is Enough
God is not looking for
the best qualifications,
best ability, best
charisma, best
prospects type of
people — not that he
would turn down these
sorts automatically,
because it’s also true
that some of the most
gifted people in our
society have also been
some of God’s best
servants.
But that is a
coincidence and not
a requirement. I think
that is because God
knows that the vast
majority of men and
women fall into the
“I am only” category.
But only is enough with
God’s help, and it would
amaze you what God
can make of them.

Thank you for supporting
our Foster Child and Senior
Christmas gift program.
The wrapping party really began on
Sunday, December 6, when the Outreach
Committee met to
organize and separate
all the gifts you so
generously donated.
It continued with
"volunteers" who put
together the donated
bikes and with the
shoppers who went out on Monday
to buy the gifts not chosen from the
poster. Around 25 of Santa's elves
arrived on Wednesday, the 9th and
began wrapping well over 200 gifts.
Some of the elves even brought their
families. Before long the Memorial Room
was filled with Christmas music and the
chatter of happy elves as they went
about their work. Pizza, cookies and
holiday cheer was enjoyed by all. A big
thank you goes out to all of you for
making this program such a success.
Your donation of gifts, money and time
will make Christmas extra special for a
foster child or a senior.
Many Ministries at
Saint David’s
Let us remember and give thanks for the
many ministries at work in this parish.
Each of these ministries does not happen
by itself. Many faithful people, such as
yourself, make it all happen. We make up
the Hands of Christ. If you are interested
in taking part of any of these ministries,
please speak to the coordinator listed.
Altar Guild/Sacristans – This group
of people attend to the worshipping
community’s needs by preparing the
books, vessels, wine, and worship space
adornments. Amy Harra
Bread Bakers – This faithful group of
people bake bread for the celebration of
Holy Communion during the 10:15 am service.
Janie Jersild
Ways and Means – This committee
dreams up new and entertaining ways to
raise funds for daily operations and programming. These are the people that bring you the
Annual Pig Roast! Bruce Owens
Cooks for Emmanuel Dining Room –
This band of early risers gather to cook a hot
meal for the homeless at 8:00 am on the 26th
of each month in the Great Hall Kitchen. The
casserole is delivered to the Ministry of
Caring in Downtown Wilmington. JT Walton
Christmas Cheer Thank You
Many thanks go out to Andrea Kane who organized another lovely
between service reception on Christmas Eve! It was so good to take
a few minutes and enjoy the company of our St. David’s family on
that holy night…along with a few tasty treats, as well. May the
good feelings continue well into the New Year!

Plant a Notion
"Going Green" doesn't have to be a daunting task that means
sweeping life changes. Simple things can make a
difference. The suggestions that appear in this feature during 2016
(and possibly beyond) might not be new, but they bear repeating.
Sometimes it takes a few reminders for things take root. What can we do to be
good stewards of God’s creation?
Wash in cold or warm
If all the households in the U.S. switched from
hot-hot cycle to warm-cold, we could save the
energy comparable to 100,000 barrels of oil a day.
