DECEMBER 2013
A fter repeating “November 2nd” ad nauseam for a month,
we are very happy to be thinking about the confluence
conf
of
ideas that came from a very successful, and very well done,
event that morning! Breakfast was fantastic, many thanks to
Karen O’Bric for the work and preparation, to Elizabeth Ann
Gates our facilitator, to Shari for always keeping things in and
tto
o our church family for the effort put into the exercises. Very
well done!
The event was the final task to complete before we could put
together the Parish Profile. Along with the Rector pay
package, we send it to the Diocese for approval. Upon that
approv
approval
al the Vestry will elect the search committee from the
nominations (so,
o, get your nominations submitted, thankfully
time is running out!). Once elected, the committee will
receive training from the Diocesan team, and then get the
names of the candidates for Rector. The time fast approaches
now!
The importance of the event was made evident after the first
group meetings. There is a vision of what we want this to
church to be in the future that is shared by all. It was so
interesting and amazing to see the same
sam ideas, albeit in
different words, come from each of the groups. That will
serve us well as we will move forward, thankfully, in
concord. In the coming months we’ll look at those things
derived from the event in greater detail and determine ways to
implem
implement those we can.
Redouble your prayers for our church, a Rector, and all
those in need.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and
good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit
of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as
you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25

phrase “Merry Christmas” to get people to buy stuff. That
is to say, there is an ironically consumeristic orientation to
the fight for the use of the phrase “Merry Christmas”
during this time of year. And I can think of few things that
do more harm to any attempt to put “Christ” back in
“Christmas” than this consumerization of the penitential
season of advent.
So, here’s what I propose is a more Christian response:
“who cares?” Who cares if Target doesn’t use “Merry
Christmas” in their ads? Target is not Christianity, or the
church (etc.). There is no reason that Target should use the
phrase “Merry Christmas.” So why should we care if they
don’t? Indeed, if anything, the fact that Target can’t or
won’t use “Merry Christmas” actually points to something
to the distinctive value of Christianity, and especially
Christmas. For when this happens, people are (perhaps
even more) able to see what Christianity and Christmas are,
and what they are not.
Soli Deo Gloria –NJL+
From the Pulpit
It’s that time of year again. You
know the one I’m talking about. The
time of year when some Christians
start their angry campaigns against
those department stores (etc.) that
now use the phrase “Happy
Holidays” in their advertisements
rather than the phrase “Merry
Christmas.” You may even know
some Christians like this☺.
Of course, I’m being a little bit silly. But, if you can
allow me this bit of silliness, I want to use this other
phenomenon – the campaigns against the use of the phrase
“Happy Holidays” – to help us recover a more Christian
way of thinking about the season we’re about to enter into.
Some of you know this already, but I’ve come to find these
campaigns against the use of the phrase “Happy Holidays”
profoundly ironic. That is to say, I’ve come to believe that
these campaigns turn Christmas inside out, and so miss out
the very thing they think there are trying to protect. And
this for two reasons.
The first reason is pretty simple. Christians don’t call the
season prior to Christmas Day “Christmas.” It is, in other
words, un-Christian to say “Merry Christmas” before
Christmas Day. “Christmas” is at least those twelve days
after Christmas Day prior to Epiphany, and in the Anglican
tradition, it is the forty days from Christmas Day to
Candlemas. The season before Christmas Day is called
“Advent,” from the Latin “adventus” (meaning “coming”).
Advent, further, is not a “merry” season. It is a penitential
season. It is the season where the church “prepares the
way” for the coming of the Lord by penance and sacrifice.
So, the fight for the use of the phrase “Merry Christmas”
prior to Christmas Day completely misses the distinctly
Christian meaning of this season.
This dynamic appears to be especially odd when one
considers that there isn’t the same fight for the use of
“Merry Christmas” after Christmas Day. Why, in other
words, do the e-mails from the AFA – urging me to boycott
stores like Best Buy, Target, Home Depot, Wal-Mart,
Kmart/Sears, Costco, Kohl’s (etc.) – stop on December
26th? Or again, why does the fight for “Merry Christmas”
focus on the days before Christmas Day?
The answer has everything to do with money –
specifically the purchasing of gifts – as is evidenced by the
fact that the primary locus of the campaign to save “Merry
Christmas” is boycotts of stores who refuse to use “Merry
Christmas” in their advertising. Don’t miss the profundity
of that fact. This means that, if the campaigns against the
use of the phrase “Happy Holidays” succeed, the most
direct result is that more major corporations will use the

AN ACT OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE
This will be the 10th annual Christmas Day lunch for the
homeless. This help for homeless came about because
public and private agencies are closed and no one should
go hungry on Christ’s Day. Our visitors will be served a
hot meal of “real” turkey, potatoes and gravy, corn, roll,
cup of fruit cocktail, and beverages of ice tea, coffee, and
water. A gift bag will be provided with a second meal, bag
of cookies, socks, a scarf, and a banana.
Mission
ion Waco Meyer Homeless Center
Center. Hot meals are
served to the homeless, needy veterans, those from shelters
and out of prison. A separate dining room is set up for
families and children. Take-out
out meals are distributed.
Holy Spirit Church Parish Hall. Meals are served to
needy seniors, delivered to home bound seniors, and
distributed for pick-up
up by hungry families.
Serving hot meals takes place in such a short time it
requires a lot of volunteers. Last year 108 volunteers from
19 cities were involved to makee the event very successful.
Over 600 meals were distributed between 11:30 am and
1:00 pm.
We have a 30% turn over in volunteers each year so those
interested in serving are welcome. Also, we under serve the
needy population and need help to “get the word out” to
those who will go hungry on Christmas Day
Giving of this service will change your life forever. No
one should go hungry on Christ’s Day. And you will still
have lots of time to be with your families.
We are grateful to those who have volunteered to:

The joyous Christmas season is upon us as we prepare to
celebrate Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. It is typically
something
hing we reenact with the children of our church, but
unfortunately not this year. We are sad and disappointed to
relay this information, but we just couldn’t make it happen.
We do look forward to a visit from dear St. Nicholas on
Sunday, December 15, 2013 in the Parish Hall after the
10:30a.m. Service. We hope all the Little Saints of our
Church will be in attendance to receive a special gift and
treat from St. Nicholas! There will also be lots of goodies
for the BIG Saints of our Church as well!!!
As the New Year 2014 draws near let us renew our
commitment to God, our church, and our children and
make every effort to bring them to church to worship and
grow in Christian love.
Galatians 3:23-25; 4:4-7 – Now before faith came, we
were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith
would be revealed. Therefore the law was our
disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be
justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no
longer subject to a disciplinarian.”
But when the fullness of time had come,
c
God sent his
Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to
redeem those who were under the law, so that we might
receive adoption as children. And because you are children,
God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying,
"Abba! Father!"
her!" So you are no longer a slave but a child,
and if a child then also an heir, through God.
Thanks to everyone who participated in Trunk or Treat! It
was a great event; we had twenty cars passing out candy to
about 100 Trick-or-Treaters
Treaters and their families. A special
thank you goes out to Carol Stukenbroeker for helping with
preparation and recruiting volunteers and Parker Lockhart
for planning the food and being grill master for the
evening!
December 15 will be the youth Christmas Party! We will
meet at the normal time, 6:30-8:00pm.
8:00pm. We will have a
white elephant gift exchange, so please bring a wrapped
gift. Note: These are meant to be fun, random, and silly
gifts. The best gifts are often something you have lying
around, but don’t actually have a use for – not junk, but
something
mething that someone else might use and appreciate.
There will be food, games, and other Christmas activities,
so don’t miss it!
On Saturday, January 11, we will have a Game Night for
All Generations in the Parish Hall. The Game Night will be
from 5:00-8:000 pm. Dinner will be served at 5:00, and then
we will break up into smaller groups to enjoy games of all
kinds! We encourage those attending to bring a game,
whether it’s an old favorite or one you just got for
Christmas!
Sunday, February 2 is Super Bowl Sunday!
unday! Not only does
that mean football and expensive commercials, it also
means it’s time for the Souperbowl of Caring! The
Souperbowl of Caring is a youth-led
led movement to help
hungry and hurting people around the world. On the
morning of Super Bowl Sunday,
y, youth volunteers will
stand by the sanctuary exits holding soup pots in order to
collect donations to benefit those who are hungry. 100% of
the donations will be given to a local charity. We need
volunteers to collect donations after both the 8:00 and
10:30
0:30 services on Sunday morning. If you are willing to
participate, please see Matt Moudry for more information.

Pastoral Care dons a few hats. One of those tasks is contact
with our shut-in
in list, through visitation, calls and cards. Each
month our team divides the list and makes contact with each
person. This is an important mission as a church family. It
ensures that they aren’t forgotten. We, in the past, have also
contacted our parishioners who place people on our
Intercessory Prayer List to see if they
th continue to need prayers
or prayers have been answered and they can be removed.
Each person placed on our Intercessory Prayer List is left on
for 90 days unless we are informed otherwise. It is
understandable that there are those who will remain on our list
indefinitely, but we need your help in keeping us updated. If
you place someone on our list, please contact either myself or
Shari in about 30 days and give us and update on them. If
someone you know is ill, in the hospital, has been absent from
church
h for a while, or needs contacting, please call the church
office and let us know. Some have asked about those on our
Intercessory Prayer List. Please understand we are sensitive to
privacy issues and are, therefore, unable to divulge
information without their
heir specific permission. I encourage any
of you who can provide a listening
istening ear and a little time each
month to join our team and lend the joy of personal contact
with our shut-in
in parishioners. It provides connection with our
church family, as well as joy to their soul.
This is a good time of year to reflect on and remind
ourselves of things of which to be thankful. Have you ever
noticed how life has endless ways of giving you more of what
you don’t want? The problem isn’t life, the problem lies
within ourselves.
selves. We often pay too much attention to what we
don’t want that we actually make things worse. Whenever we
focus on what’s wrong, we reinforce it and attract more of the
same. By putting forth negative energy by thinking about our
problems, we make our lives more problematic. It’s a natural
thing to do when we are in a struggle. We tend to overlook
things in our lives for which we should be grateful. It’s
absolutely essential to think about bright things. We all create
our own futures by the things we think
th
about and appreciate. I
recently read a book on positive vs. negative energy by B.J.
Gallagher; here are some quotes from that book: “If you want
more love in your life, be grateful for the love you already
have; if you want more money, appreciate the money you
have now; if you want better health, love and appreciate your
body; if you want more friends, take really good care of the
friends you have now; if you want success, be grateful for
your past and present success. Create your own future through
thee amazing power of gratitude.” By thinking positively, no
matter our circumstances, we gain positive things. To give
more than we expect to receive, will always result in a
positive outcome. Jesus teaches us this. God presents us with
opportunities every day
ay to express our gratitude to Him for all
of our blessings [PSALM 100: 1-5]

While attending a German genealogy meeting recently,
amateur researchers were puzzled that church records from
each year during the 17th and 18th century entries began in late
November or early December. The organization, however,
was quite logical as most of the data had been collected from
either Roman Catholic or Lutheran archives. Both
denominations would follow a liturgical rather than a secul
secular
calendar year.
An Advent symbol of Jesus is represented by the Alpha and
the Omega—the
the first and the last, the beginning and the end”
(Rev 1:8 and 11:13). The blue letter is the first letter of the
Hebrew alphabet, Aleph, and the purple is the last le
letter of the
Greek alphabet, Omega. Dennis Bratcher writes that “not only
does this symbolize the One who has come and will come
again, it also emphasizes the continuity of God’s work in
history throughout both the Old and New Testaments.”
Although the Ordoo Kalendar has a secular format, the
liturgical Year A will begin on December 1, 2013, with the
First Sunday of Advent, which “is always the fourth Sunday
before Christmas Day, whether it occurs on a Sunday or a
weekday” (BCP 15). It is a penitential season.
n. Holy Spirit will
use blue paraments, a symbol or royalty, during Advent to
distinguish it from Lent; others may use purple during this
time. Rose or pink may be used for Gaudete Sunday, from the
Latin word for “rejoice,” the Third Sunday of Advent,
reflecting
ecting the lessening emphasis on penitence as attention
turns more to celebration in anticipation of the coming, the
meaning of Advent.
Rite I will be the form of worship during Advent. The
proper preface will be Advent and bulletins will be printed on
bluee paper. The Advent wreath is placed near the prie
prie-dieu
(pray God) on the north side of the center aisle; representing
Expectation or Hope, the purple candle opposite the pink is
lighted first. The Advent banner with the four candles will
occupy the east wall
all and all other banners will rotate one
position clockwise. While Lent is characterized by fasting and
a spirit of penitence, Advent’s prayers are of humble devotion
and from those walking in darkness who are awaiting and
anticipating a great light (Isaiah
ah 9).” Our prayer of Advent is:
Come, O Come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel!

ECW met at 10:30 on November 9 for food and fellowship.
We didn’t have a program as we had lots of business to take
care of. We discussed Compassion Ministries and the problem
we are having with communication. Nancy Banks was going
to look into it and see if we need to just send money for the
apartment if they had stocked it themselves.
We also decided to send money to Caritas and the Salvation
Army to bring our money balance down to about $600 to start
the new year.
We nominated and elected officers for 2014: Rosalind
Modrall, President, Susi Canuteson – Vice President, Nancy
Banks – Treasurer, and Mindy Wilkins – Secretary.
The ECW Christmas Party willl be held Saturday, Dec
December
14 at Ridgewood Country Club. The cost is $17 which
includes tax and gratuity. Please RSVP to Rosalind Modrall
no later than December 7. Dale & Anita Allen will be singing
Christmas carol favorites.
We had a very good meeting and
nd lots of fellowship with a
delicious lunched served by Nancy Banks, Doris Carter, and
Jackie Orsag.
