Dear Ones,
Johanna was three when I arrived at St. Dunstan’s, Ellsworth, Maine, in January,
1990. Her parents were from Ocala, Florida, but in the mid-1980’s they moved into
the small house they had built with their own hands on the outskirts of Ellsworth.
They became one of a core group of parents committed to starting a Sunday school at
St. Dunstan’s, and they were there every Sunday. Johanna was sometimes the only
one in Sunday school, but the family stayed with it, and slowly more came. They
moved back to Florida not long after we left Ellsworth, but Johanna’s parents kept
their house in Maine, hoping to retire there. We’ve seen them occasionally over the
years.
Johanna, now twenty-six, called me early this past summer. “Would you be
willing to officiate at my wedding?” she asked. “Of course,” I said. (That’s where I
was the last weekend in September.) Then we caught up on our respective lives.
She’s now a math teacher like her father, organized like her mother, and beautiful
inside and out. I hung up the phone, reflecting on the significance of her simple
invitation.
Next month I will celebrate the twenty-sixth anniversary of my ordination to the
priesthood. I have been a priest as long as Johanna has been alive. I am now at the
point where I am experiencing one of the greatest privileges of longevity in parish
ministry. To be a part of a person’s life across the major passages – to baptize,
prepare for confirmation, preside at a marriage, be present at death, and, soon, baptize
another generation – is to receive an indescribable gift. But it’s not mine alone. It is a
gift all of us share as a community of the faithful in Christ.
November 1st is the Feast of All Saints, celebrated also on the Sunday after All
Saints, November 3rd this year. All Saints is a time to remember the breadth and
depth of the community of which we are a part, the “Great Cloud of Witnesses,”
as the writer to the Hebrews puts it. And this year all of us have the privilege of
joining in the baptisms of six new Christians: Catelyn Holbrook, Adelyn Corontzes,
Natalia DeCubellis, Emily Holbrook, Savannah Holbrook, and Kenneth Mobbs. A
new generation is among us, a wondrous gift. Let us tend that gift with care and love
as we bring them up to know, love, and serve Christ and all people.
Peace,
John S. Nieman

From Our Assistant Rector
My name is John Bethell and if I haven't gotten the chance to meet
you yet (thanks for wearing your name tags, folks), I'm looking
forward to it. I was born and raised on Staten Island, and the Navy is
what initially got me to move down South. After I got out of the
military, I continued to work in North Augusta as a youth minister at
St. Bart's while I finished my undergrad. I went to seminary back in
New York (Go General!), and moved into town after I graduated.
It's been an interesting first few months here in Clemson, and I mean
the good kind of interesting. I've learned a lot about a small town
community and how we can help each other out in whatever ways we
can when we know there's something that needs to be done. Living
downtown, I've seen it happen time and again. I've seen it happen
more than a few times at Holy Trinity, and I couldn't be more proud
to work here. Thank you for being so welcoming to me as well as to
others I've seen who could use a welcoming smile and a listening
ear.
As ever,
jb.

The 11th annual Ministers' Cook-off to benefit Safe Harbor II will
be held at the First Baptist Church of Clemson on Tuesday,
November 12, 2013, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Please enter from
the parking garage side.
Our own John Bethell will be cooking up a dessert item that he
assures me will be "wonderful." $10 will buy you 10 "tastes" of
either "Comfort Food" or "Sweet Tooth" dishes. There will also
be coffee and bottled water available for a ticket each.
Over the years, this has become a great event for the Clemson
community. I always see some people that I haven't seen since
previous cook-off. And if you don't know, Safe Harbor II is a
shelter for women who have been the victims of domestic
violence and their children. It serves Anderson, Pickens, and
Oconee Counties.

Outreach
Holy Trinity to Be a Family Promise
Host Congregaon
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for
by doing that some have entertained angels without
knowing it” (Hebrews 13: 2).
The Vestry decided in April that Holy Trinity would
become a host congregation for Family Promise of
Pickens County. Family Promise brings shelter,
meals, and support services to families with children.
Once enough host congregations are committed – a
minimum of thirteen are needed – we will be on a
rotation offering shelter, meals, and support four
weeks per year. Information sessions have been held
at various sites throughout Pickens County for over a
year, including one at Holy Trinity last spring. Many
Holy Trinity parishioners expressed support and
offered to volunteer once the program gets up and
running, hopefully in early 2014. A basic fact sheet
about Family Promise can be found on our website
http://www.holytrinityclemson.org/serve/
under “local outreach.” You can also learn more by
going to the Family Promise website at
http://www.familypromisepickens.org/
I am very excited that we are able to extend our
outreach to help address a real need among our neighbors in our county.

It’s almost time for our yearly ingathering of Operation Christmas Child
shoeboxes. Sunday, Nov 17 is the date.
In case you don’t know anything about
OCC, let me explain. OCC is a mission
of Samaritan’s Purse. Individuals and
groups fill simple shoeboxes with
simple gifts to send to children in
difficult circumstances around the world. In most cases, the shoeboxes open doors for local Christian organizations to introduce
children to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I say “in most cases”
because some shoeboxes go to countries where Christians are not
very welcome. Last year a small group from Holy Trinity went to
the Charlotte Processing Center, one of several places around the
US where the boxes are inspected for items that are not allowed—
like liquids, chocolate, war-themed items, knives, etc. We
separated out boxes that did not contain references to Jesus or the
West so that they could be sent to a country that was not identified
for security purposes.
The items to include in a box mostly fall into three main
categories: school supplies, hygiene items, and toys. You might
ask why a child would be excited to get school supplies. If the
child’s family is too poor to buy school supplies, they might not be
able to attend school at all in many countries. Would you be
excited over a washcloth or a toothbrush? You might be if you
lived in an orphanage and had to share a towel or toothbrush with
30 other children. Toys are pretty self-explanatory, but something
like a deflated soccer ball with a pump can serve a whole village.
An UNO game has been known to bring a family closer together as
they gather after dinner to play. We all know a stuffed animal can
bring comfort to a child.
For about 10 years I have been including a T-shirt in each box.
Socks are good. I started adding underwear to the girl’s boxes after
I heard about a little girl who immediately went behind a building
and pulled on the panties in her box. This year I’ve heard stories of
boys who were excited to get underwear, so I’ve added them. A
ziplock bag full of hard candy and gum adds a sweet touch to a
box.
There are other welcome items like flashlights (with extra
batteries), hair stuff for girls, tools, sewing items—let your
imagination run wild. And don’t forget to say a prayer for the child
who will receive your box.
2013 ECW Bazaar and
Artisan Market
December 7
All ECW profits from the Christmas Bazaar
plus the artisan fees are used for outreach —
cash donations are made to numerous local and
regional charities.
Finally, OCC requests a donation of $7.00 per box to help cover
shipping the boxes around the world. You can even make your
donation online and get a special label with a barcode that will
allow them to send you an email telling you where your boxes
went.
Brochures with more information are available at the church. Or
you can check out www.samaritanspurse.org. This is a fun project
that can make a big difference in the life of a child.

Come join us on November 22nd for a spaghetti dinner
prepared by the Slow Food group of chefs. All the
proceeds will go towards the youth scholarship fund that
allows our youth to attend the Parish Family Weekend at
Kanuga for free. Tickets are $10.00.
We will have only one Connection dinner in
November. Be sure to join us on November 13th at
6:00 pm for dinner and a presentation on John
Nieman’s recent sabbatical. There will be activities
for children and youth and the opportunity for simple
fellowship at the table and afterwards. Everyone is
welcome. This is also a great time to introduce a
friend to our community at Holy Trinity.
Kanuga Memories
Kanuga would like to hear your Kanuga Experience.
You are invited to share your memories of weekend retreats, family reunions, summer camp and workshops
with them to inspire others in their journeys. You can
submit your story at kanuga.org/stories.
All Saints Food Drive
Parish Weekend at Kanuga
Please remember to bring a food item to church on
All Saints Day, November 3rd. We are trying to stock
pantries for the holidays, so a gift of flour, sugar,
pasta, canned food and other staples will be most
welcome. All food will go to Clemson Community
Care for distribution. The youth will be sorting and
bagging the donations on November 9th, so we will
accept your contributions until November 8th.
Women’s
Book Group
The Women’s Book Group is still reading Jesus
through Middle Eastern Eyes by Kenneth Baily. It is
a fascinating look at the gospels from the perspective
of past and present Middle Eastern culture. We meet
at 12:30 pm on Wednesdays, and everyone is
welcome to join in the fun. Copies of the book are
available in the church office.
We hope you will all join us March 7th−9th to hear Tracy
Radosevic, a fabulous storyteller, act out the gospel of
Mark and help us to incorporate our own story into the
gospel. You can learn more about Tracy at her website
www.tracyrad.com or watch a video clip at http://www.
youtube.com/watch?v=f2vRS7TO1ng. It will be a fun
and enlightening weekend for all ages.
Kanuga Tea
Our annual Kanuga Tea is set for February 2nd. Dust off
your fancy hats and white gloves and join us for music,
English tea and lots of goodies. All proceeds benefit the
Kanuga scholarship fund.
Youth Activities
We have had a busy month in our youth groups. We
have learned to use a letter press, gone canoeing, held a
dinner to learn about hunger around the world, found
poetry in discarded newsprint and learned about the
gospel through a study of the lectionary. Thanks go to
all the youth leaders and to Rev. John Bethell for his
additional leadership on Sunday mornings.
We look forward to more fun in November and
December with the food drive, the annual Lessons and
Carols Service and other fun activities. All are welcome
to join in.

YOUNG FAMILIES GROUP
On October 20th some of the Young Families group, led by Hap
Wheeler—out resident naturalist—headed for Meadow Falls, a
lovely waterfall just a short hike away from Clemson. It was a
small group (but VERY nice): the Wheelers, our two guides, and
the Evans, Crouse, Henry, and Southergill families.
We really did have a great time. Patrick McMilan could not attend,
so two of Hap’s colleagues helped to guide (Dr. Ben Sill and Dr.
John Garton. Ben has retired from Civil Engineering and John
from Duke Power.) We even had a lesson with a “Semi-Religious
Nature List” (that will appear in next month’s Tempo).” It was truly
a relaxing afternoon where we got to catch up with each other and
enjoy the outdoors and our town (most of us had never been to this
part of the Clemson Forest before.) We learned about the history and plants of the area, and we saw the love of Christ in
each other. I highly recommend that we do it again.

COFFEE FOR CANGE
ECW and the Outreach Committee are co-sponsoring a fund-raiser sale of SINGING ROOSTER Haitian
Mountain Bleu Coffee. You will be able to taste this coffee during the time breakfast is served, in the
Parish Hall. The coffee has been described as “rich and smooth” and it is stated that cool nights at high
altitudes
produce gentle and flavorful coffees. Tasting notes include: “sweet”, “hints of chocolate”,
“medium body”, “balanced cup”, “mellow acidity”. The Haitian Mountain Bleu coffee is rare and, coming from the same
type of coffee plant, is grown in a similar region as that of the delicious Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, although the
Haitian Bleu is less in price.
Each 12 oz. bag sells for $10.00 – perfect for special Christmas gifts! There are 3 different roasts to choose from in
addition to decaf. Thank you to Beth Kunkel for taking care of the shipment order which should arrive by or before the
end of September.
The sale will be every Sunday morning during October and November and during the ECW Christmas Bazaar. A special
table, with information about the product, will be set up for the Singing Rooster sales. Volunteers will be needed to assist
in the sales. Please contact Pat Geldard if you would be able to help, or just show up!

Episcopal Day School
During October, the Day School students were very busy. They learned about the changing of seasons, musical instruments
while on a Field Trip to see the Clemson University Symphony Orchestra, and fire safety with a visit by the Clemson University
Fire Department. The children put what they learned from the firemen into practice with a school wide fire drill on October 18th.
November is always an exciting month at the Day School! The school families and staff will join for a Stone Soup Celebration
on the 22nd. All the children help with preparations by bringing in vegetables for soup to be made, mixing up and baking cornbread, and making decorations for the tables. At the celebration, all enjoy a tasty soup and Thanksgiving play preformed by the
students while remembering the importance of working together, sharing and community.
Our annual Poinsettia Fundraiser has begun! Roebuck Greenhouses has provided beautiful plants to us for the past 15
years. Poinsettia colors available are red, white and pink. 6” pots are $10.00 and 10” pots are $16.00. Orders with payment are
due by Monday, November 25th. Checks should be made payable to “Episcopal Day School.” The poinsettias will be available
for pick-up on December 12th in the church parish hall between 8:00am and 3:00pm. These plants make wonderful gifts for the
holidays. Please ask your family, friends and neighbors if they would like to purchase some poinsettias to support the Day
School.
The Day School still has openings for enrollment this 2013-2014 School Year. Classes are available for children ages 2 to 5
years old. Please tell your friends! Feel free to contact Suzanne Watkins, the school Director, to schedule a tour or to answer
any of your questions: (864) 654-0298 or [email protected].

SOLID GROUND
The more certain views I brought with me to Haiti three months ago are
on less solid ground. My understanding of life, relationships, worship,
the United States, culture, economics and humanity is shifting. It’s
changing so quickly I cannot process what I’ve experienced before something else changes. I knew this was coming; I just didn’t know exactly
what it would feel like.
Moving abroad as a missionary in YASC requires one to get knocked off
balance and stay off balance. After three months of constant shifting,
I’ve found three things keep me centered: this experience is not about
me, God is consistent, and people are people.
This experience is not about me. This mission is about the body of
Christ—I am simply attempting to fulfill my role within it. This
experience is about my supporters, the family, and the donors and staff
that make it possible for me to be here. It’s about the other foreigners I
work with in Cange, including the Clemson engineering interns and the
Clemson Engineers for Developing Countries members. It’s about the
locals—the kids and adults who exhibit such a deep desire for their
community to advance. These people, as a part of the big mission,
remind me that I’m a part of something much bigger than myself.
Second, God is consistent. God is in Cange, Haiti, just as God is in Asheville, North Carolina, or Clemson, South Carolina.
God comforts and heals, grants grace and loves.
Third, people are people. A lot of time at training was spent talking about
differences in culture. I have had many experiences in Haiti where that
training was helpful, where I said something that caused a misunderstanding requiring correction. But despite these differences in culture, the
common humanity among us allows me to confidently and comfortably
interact with people despite significant differences such as culture, race,
nationality and language.
I still feel knocked off balance, and I do not expect to feel entirely
upright while in Haiti (or perhaps even afterwards as well). But I know
that I am here in relationship with many people pursuing the same
mission with the peace and love of God as our foundation.

Leadership Pendleton is a program designed for citizens in the Pendleton community who want to develop their personal
leadership skills and become better informed about the assets of their community. Under President Tom Schurch’s
guidance, the Leadership Pendleton Class of 2012 chose as their class project to replace the old rusty chain link fence
around the churchyard at St. Paul's Episcopal Church with a new decorative fence that would be appropriate to the historic
setting of the church and compatible with the previous green fence that runs along the parking lot.
The new fence looks like wrought iron but is made out of heavy duty tubular steel
with cast steel ornaments. The old wrought iron green fence was painted to match the
new fence by Alden Valentine, Dotti Carter, Cindy Still, Eunice Waddington, Jim,
Betty, and Gil Snowden, Lynne Merchant, Powell Hickman, and Jo McConnell.
In addition to the 2010 and 2012 Leadership Pendleton Classes, thanks are extended to
Jo McConnell (who conceived the idea of replacing the old chain link fence), Cindy Still,
Wendy Longo, Alden Valentine, the Dunlap Team Real Estate, David Taylor and STEC Equipment in Anderson, Orian
Rugs of Anderson, Powell Hickman and Eli Lilly Company, the Pendleton Historic Foundation, and individual contributors from Holy Trinity for their help in raising or providing funds for the new fence. Also, the proceeds from the Historic
Homes Tour in Pendleton (October, 2012) benefited this project. Many thanks are extended to all those who organized and
participated in this tour. Proceeds from Thrift Shop sales paid for the fence (including the gate and all installation) that runs
from what was the old green fence to the Thrift Shop. Holy Trinity did not bear any of the cost of the new fence. Father
Nieman accepted the new fence on behalf of St. Paul’s in a brief ceremony the afternoon of October 20.

Exciting things are happening at Canterbury of Clemson! This semester
we have more new Canterbears than ever before. We’re very excited that
many new Canterbears are already eager to be involved in helping to run
Canterbury. There is a freshman on the retreat planning committee,
another freshman who volunteered to be the cottage caretaker, and yet
another freshman who will be leading a small group Bible study. One
Wednesday night in October we had twenty-eight people in the cottage
for program!
November will be a busy month for Canterbury. On November 1st we
head to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for our annual Fall Retreat. The following
weekend on November 10th there will be a BBQ lunch fundraiser after
church. We’ll be selling tickets for the lunch on Sunday mornings and
during Trinity Connections on Wednesdays. This fundraiser is a very
important source of funding for Canterbury and even more important
now that we have so many people attending regularly. The very next
weekend is Canterbury Sunday, where members of Canterbury lead all
aspects of the service.
Canterbury at the First Friday Parade
Canterbury has recently started small group activities, including a Bible Study group, a Girls Night Out group, a Find-theBest-Pizza-in-Clemson group, and a Beard Appreciation group. These groups will be meeting throughout November in
addition to large group fellowship activities, which may include camping, movie night, and tailgating in November.
As you can probably see, there are a lot of great new things going on at Canterbury of Clemson. Canterbury was excited
to hear that at the Diocesan Convention in October, the diocese increased the annual funding provided to campus
ministries. We are looking forward to an exciting future here at Clemson and at all the campus ministries in the Diocese.
CHURCH MICE
Be on the lookout! There has been a sighting of
church mice in the office area of Holy Trinity. They
are little, gray, and are wearing blue choir robes and
singing “O Holy Night”. Some have also been seen
wearing acolyte robes. If you have missed them, the
word is that they will appear again at the ECW Bazaar
on December 7th. Look for them in the Holy Trinity
Crafts section. There are a limited number of these
adorable church mice so don’t miss them.
There will also be knit “texting” gloves and scarves, as
well as doll clothes, aprons, pillows, tea totes, and
many other wonderful items.
