Advent Means Together

Our Advent calendar begins the November 29

reading this way:

“Advent is ours.

Neither you alone, or I in isolation, wait.

We wait. For blessed hope, for revealed glory,

for God, who looked at humankind and said

we should not be alone, but together.

So we’re in it together, this stretch of darkening

days

that our Christian forebears called Advent.

It means “to come to,” means “an arrival.”

I have recently been in several phone

conversations with my brother, sister and

mother. Each year at Christmas they enter into

a battle of wills over where they will all

celebrate Christmas. Will it be at my sister’s

house or my mother’s? Will my brother spend it

with his daughter and her husband? One year

they were even here in Louisville at our house.

Each year I am reminded of how Advent is a

time of coming together and yet how many ways

we find to disagree, rather than cooperate.

Recently I gave the prayer of dedication for the

Ann Kirk Habitat house in West Louisville.

Ann, as many of you know, was a very faithful

member of Harvey Browne and a dear friend to

so many of us. We waited for the

dedication service in the midst of

hammers banging and saws whining

away. Volunteers were busy and, in a day and a

half, the second story was already up. It is truly

amazing what can happen when people come

together to share a common vision. Advent is

about sharing a common vision that centers on

our hope in God.

Back to our poem:

“We have come to the winter of our faith.

We have arrived at the season of our stress.

What better time to practice prayerful

Presence than this month of yearnings yet unre-

alized?

Blessed are we whose calendars crowd with ob-

ligations,

Whose heads clog with colds, whose roads nar-

row,

snow-choked,

Whose churches swell with uneasy seekers

drawn

Christward;

The Savior has been who we are.

When he returns as promised, he will surely

find

us anxious.

Will he find us together?

market started Nov. 7 and

continues through the last

weekend of April. The

times are 10:00 a.m. to 1:00

p.m. Come out and support

a new tradition at HBPres.

My prayer for Harvey Browne Church

this Advent-Christmas season is that

we unite in common purpose around

the one who calls us to kneel at the

manger that cradles the Christ child.

May we come together to build our

church just as those volunteers came

together to build the Ann Kirk house.

May this Advent be for you a time of

preparation and coming together and

may you have a meaningful and

merry Christmas.

John

P.S. – The new owners of the Ann

Kirk house are from Burma. Many of

you will recall that our former

associate pastor, Hmingi Browne, was

from Burma. She has moved on to do

ministry in Florida but her sister,

L.T., and brother-in-law, Run, and

their son, Joshua Thang, still

worship here at HBPres. Ann and

Hmingi spent many hours working

together on the Outreach Council, so I

am sure Ann is proud of this

connection.

Winter is here so please check

WHAS11.com (TV and website) and

HBPres.net for closings and

cancellations. If Jefferson County

Public schools are closed, the

building will be closed.

HBPres University Advent Classes

The Mariners Class will be looking at

selections from "The First Christmas" during

Advent.

Tim Cargal & Bill Williamson will be leading

a study of the prophetic texts in Advent which

will be tied to the ones used in Handel's

Messiah.

Together With Jesus & Fast Faith will also

explore Christmas themes.


Worship News...

Early Service Returning to 8:30 a.m.

Ecclesia reformata, semper reformanda - The Church reformed, yet always reforming. This

phrase has been a guide for the churches of the Reformed faith for centuries. It tells that

even though we are rooted in the word of God, we still must be open to how the spirit may

lead us in understanding God’s word to us in a changing and challenging culture.

In response to this, the Session of HBPres charged the Worship and Music Committee to

explore opportunities for us to have a contemporary worship service on Sunday morning.

After several months of study and research, including several open discussion forums, the

decision was made to combine the 8:30 and 10:00 worship services into one service at 9:00

a.m. The new combined service started on September 20.

However, after a few weeks it became apparent that the new service was not going to meet

the worship needs of the combined groups. After much prayer, thought and discussion, the

Worship and Music Committee recommended to Session that the 9:00 service return to its

regular 8:30 time, utilizing the more traditional format it has used in the past, beginning

Sunday, December 6.

The committee also informed Session that it was exploring starting a contemporary service

on Saturday evening under the leadership of our new Youth Director, Mario Ransan. Mario

has had considerable experience in planning and leading contemporary services. The new

service will begin on January 9, 2016 and will utilize the space currently referred to as The

Loft.

We are praying the spirit is leading us in this direction as we as remain faithful to our

reformed roots, yet are open to reforming.

The Worship and Music Committee

College/Young Adult Service

Starting on the second Saturday of January (Jan. 9), HBPres will offer its first ever worship for

collegians and young adults. The service will take place every Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00

p.m. in The Loft.

I will be preaching and heading up that service, so come ready for something a little different.

We are in the process of putting a band together; if you are interested in playing with us please

let me know.

We are also looking for adult leaders who would be interested in helping out in the service. As

we approach January 9 more announcements will be made about the service. Keep an eye out

for it.

In Christ,

Mario Ransan


Notes from Session:

HBPres Vision Statement

Harvey Browne Church is a community of Believers that glorifies God and honors tradition as it

seeks new ways of growing in faith, sharing our beliefs and putting our faith into practice.

HBPres Purpose Statement

HBPres is called to make a difference by making disciples who faithfully follow Jesus, study the

Bible, and love one another by serving our neighbors.

The Session of HBPres met on November 3, 2015 for a stated meeting. Will Hilyerd led the

Session in devotion. The following business was handled at that meeting:

It was reported that Julian Quick has repaid HBPres $55,000 as full payment for missing

funds removed from our account.

Will Hilyerd reported on the work of Support Committee this past year.

Carol Tinkle gave a report from Harvey Bowne Preschool’s Board of Directors.

Doug Mann reported the Centennial Capital Campaign is going well. It is $100,000 short of

its goal of $465,000. The congregation will be informed that their pledge can be paid over a

few years rather than just during 2016.

Doug Earley reported the Winter Farmers’ Market will be in Emory Hall on

Saturdays, beginning November 7, and run through April 26. It will be closed during some

holiday Saturdays. We have 20-25 vendors with more interested in joining. All vendors will

be KY Proud. Income from the Farmers’ Market will go towards general maintenance of our

building.

Session will have its one-day winter retreat on January 23. A weekend retreat will be in

May once new elders are ordained and installed.

Allen Gilfert reported that the contemporary service at 9:00 a.m. was not working for either

the musicians or those attending the service. The Worship and Music Committee is looking

into other options for a contemporary service. Session voted to change the time for HBPres’

early service from 9:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. beginning December 6.* This change will

accommodate staff commitments.

Session’s next stated meeting will be during its winter retreat on January 23, 2016.

Clerk of Session *See articles on page 4 for more info about worship services.


Centennial Happenings

Are We Still Going to Have a Memorial Garden?

Yes but with one modification from what was originally envisioned.

The original plan was to permit church members to inter loved ones’

ashes in the garden. Upon further exploration, however, we

determined that doing so would impose too many legal restrictions

on the church and its property because we would be, in effect,

creating a cemetery on the front lawn. It still will be possible for

members to memorialize their loved ones with their names on

engraved paving stones in the garden.

The memorial garden is one of the goals of our Centennial Campaign,

which also include a glass and bronze cross sculpture in front of the

church, a new informational sign, repairs to the roof and the elevator

outside Eline Hall, a contribution to Habitat for Humanity and the

replenishing of our Facilities Reserve Fund. The cross and garden

will recognize 100 years of ministry and mission to the St. Matthews

community.

We have had a good response to our Centennial Campaign but we

still have a way to go in order to reach our goal of $465,000. If you

have not yet made your gift, we hope you will do so in order to ensure

our success.

Quilters Go Around the Centennial Block

The HBPres quilters have discovered a traditional quilt block named

“Centennial.” As part of our church’s Centennial celebration, they are

making small craft items using this design. Starting November 22 and

during Advent, they will offer ornaments and hot pads for sale at a modest

price. They will also take special orders for table linens—place mats and

table runners in the colors of your choice—made using the Centennial quilt

block. Pictured here is the basic Centennial block design and an ornament

made in HBPres colors.

Make a Joyful Noise!

Come one, come all for an old fashioned Christmas Caroling

Party. No experience needed. All you have to do is "Make a

Joyful Noise!" The date and time will be revealed after

Thanksgiving. Please join us!

The Centennial Committee

Chili Cook Off

The HBPres Chili Cook Off is back! Fine tune your favorite chili recipe

over the holidays and enter the contest for the "Centennial Chili." See

you on Wednesday, February 3, 2016 in Emory Hall.


Literary Corner

Bookanalia

Will not meet during the month of

December. In January, Molly Pollock and

Sara Ritchie are presenting Longbourn by Jo

Baker. To increase your fun in reading it,

you may also want to re-read or see a movie

about Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

Ladies Book Talk

Book Talk will meet on

Tuesday, December 29 at

11:30 a.m. in the Barret

Room at HBPres. We will discuss Lucky Us by

Amy Bloom. Bring your lunch. If you have

any questions, please contact Mary Faltin at

326-5069 or [email protected].

Men's Book Forum

We will meet on Monday,

December 7, for our

annual Christmas dinner.

The dinner will be at the

Bristol Bar & Grill on

Hurstbourne Pkwy. at 6:30

p.m. Please contact Gary Faltin for a

reservation. We will also be meeting for our

normal book discussion on Monday, January

4, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in Room 206 to review

the book, The Wright Brothers, by David

McCullough. Contact Gary Faltin at 326-

5069 or [email protected] for more

information.

Deacon’s Corner

Thank you to all who attended the joyous celebration on November 8 for our 90 years and

older HBPres members. Of the 37 members who have achieved this distinguished stage in life,

19 were with us including our oldest living member, Celeste Froehlich, a youthful 101. Others

included George Bales, Estell Cochran, Bob Cox, Dorothy Cundiff, Betty DeWitt, Ruth Green,

Jim Holt, Doris Jordan, Bruce Kinloch, Bob Kirzinger, Lois Louderback, Audrey McGrath,

Merle Newlon, Barbara Noland, Ruth Rassinier, Margaret Rinne, Don Schalk and Clara Stone.

How great it was to see the "birthday" boys and girls and their families. What a delightful

party we had. Special thanks to those who were helpers to make this event happen.

Merry Christmas! May God bless each member of our church with the true

spirit of Christmas and keep that spirit alive in each of us throughout the new

year.

Mission at HBPres

Grocery Cart

The Grocery Cart items collected for the month of December will go towards the Cabbage

Patch Christmas Baskets. Items needed for the Cabbage Patch Christmas Baskets are:

Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissue)

Soap products (dishwashing soap, laundry soap, bar soap)

Other items donated will be given to St. MAM. If you have questions or concerns, please

contact Wilma Bennett at 459-7705.

International Just Trade Craft Fair

This year’s Just Trade Craft Fair takes place on Sunday, November 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:45

p.m. in Emory Hall. This is a great opportunity to do some early shopping and avoid the

traffic in getting to the mall. Moreover, you will have the satisfaction of helping a small-crafts

man/woman to earn a living and get out of poverty. Items will come from Central and South

America, India, Palestine and Africa. As always, coffee and chocolate will also be on sale. Both

are wonderful and can also provide important health benefits.

Congo Schools

Three hundred ninety-three primary students in Lutshuadi School and 175 students in

Institute Buong School returned to a brand new building this fall, a vast improvement over

the one they left in June with its leaking roofs and crumbling walls. This was the third school

built since 2013. Proceeds from coffee, candy and craft sales will again go to the Build Congo

Schools project as they look to add three classrooms to a very over-crowded school and

reconstruct Lusamba School. Your support will help change the lives of hundreds of children

in the Congo.


Worship and Music Committee Annual Report

As a committee, what does Worship and Music seem like versus what it is really like? Worship

and Music sounds more abstract in application, like something that just occurs naturally and

appears to run itself. When you participate in a worship service it may look and sound this way

but the reality is that many jobs and responsibilities have to be undertaken to make worship run

smoothly. Worship and Music committee members work every week on recruiting, scheduling and

training members of the HBPres congregation to help with audio-visual crew, ushering and

greeting, liturgical reading, and communion serving. (This often includes helping with communion

prep and clean up, too.) This is who we are from a logistical standpoint. We also have to give time

and consideration to what worship needs and expectations are relevant to our worshipping

community. This year has been one of continuing growth, transition and exploration.

This past year the Session asked the Worship and Music Committee to make a recommendation on

a worship schedule that would include two worship services that would not conflict with a separate

Sunday school meeting time. The committee sponsored several opportunities to meet with

members of the church to discuss the wants and needs of the then three worshipping

congregations. About 60-75 people participated in the group discussions headed by Sara Sutphin.

After lengthy discussion and deliberation, it was decided that having two worship services on

Sunday morning would be best, rather than three. The earlier of the two services was planned to

be at 9:00 a.m. and would be less formal and feature participatory liturgy and contemporary

music. The second service would be the 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary service and feature diverse music

and liturgy that would engage the worshipping community in a setting reflecting the beauty and

mystery of our faith. The kick-off for this worship schedule began on September 20. For more

information about the challenges surrounding the new early service, please refer to the previous

article in this same newsletter (pg. 4).

Though we are still working on finding solutions to some of our worship needs here at HBPres,

there is much to be proud of. The musical ensembles remain top-notch and quite diverse and they

are growing. We have adult choir, Handbells ensemble, a multi-generational orchestra, a youth

music ensemble, children’s choirs and also many talented individuals who seem like a large music

ensemble packed into one person. From a logistics standpoint, preparing for communion is

working very efficiently now. With a new system in place, Pat and Kevin Pernicano have been

recruiting and training HBPres members for communion prep and clean up. October 4 was also

World Communion Sunday. The Korean Church, some of the youth, and many others participated

in making this service a moving, Spirit-filled worship experience. At the time of this writing, we

are nearing our special Centennial Homecoming Sunday Celebration on November 22. It

promises to be a powerful worship experience that unites all generations of our congregation, past

and present. By celebrating our past and present with these special worship experiences it also

helps us look forward to and informs our future worship needs.

I want to thank all of the members of our committee for their hard work: Kim Harrod, Jane

Doehnert, Leslie Koenig, Sara Sutphin, Pat Pernicano, Alice Judy, Diane DeLong and Jim Lewis.

I also want to thank the music staff of Harvey Browne—Larry and Beth Brandenburg, Tim Baker,

and Kathleen Yager—for their dedication to making worship and music at HBPres wonderful and

meaningful. And to all of those who assist with worship as ushers, greeters, liturgists, communion

servers, AV crew and participants in all the various music ensembles, thank you so much for

making HBPres a great place to worship.

Allen Gilfert


Fall Hospitality Nights Provide Great Food and Company

A big thank you to our hosts for our fall Hospitality Nights in November: Jayne & Gary

Hines, Janie & John Roper, Billie & Jack Valla, and Bill & Nancy Williamson. This fall we

experimented with some larger size groups at some houses. I’d also like to thank others that

offered to host. I hope we can count on you in the future.

It is already time to look ahead to our next round of dinners. The winter Hospitality Nights

will offer a choice of Friday, February 19 or Sunday, February 28. Sometimes people

prefer to get out earlier in the day during the winter. Would you be interested in a lunch or

brunch in a home on a Sunday after the church service? If so, let me know. We like to find

options to fit the interests and needs of our participants.

If you have never attended a Hospitality Night event, I’d especially encourage you to sign up.

We enjoy having a mixture of new and longtime members to enjoy a potluck style dinner in a

home. The host provides the entrée and beverages, others sign up to bring side dishes. By

signing up to participate, you are not obligated to serve as a host. Sign up forms will be

available in December and January.

Questions, suggestions, offers to host a dinner, or if you have an opinion on the idea of a

winter brunch/lunch instead of dinner, please contact me at 893-7931 or

[email protected].

Thanks.

HBPres University Winter Term Offerings

A Survey of Our Roots: As part of the Centennial Year, the winter term of HBU will offer a

survey of our roots including the elusive Harvey Browne, the invisible Hugh Barret, the

extensive contents of our church archives, and the exhausting conflicts of Presbyterians since

they settled in Kentucky. Join us in the Session Room January 3 – 24.

Mariners Class: This class will join the Centennial class for the first four weeks of Winter

Term. For the last two weeks, February 14 & 21, the Mariners will be led by Jim Lewis and

his topic is: "Religion in America—what the polls can tell us and what they can’t.” As they

report on the current state and future prospects of religion in American life, journalists often

cite polls on American religion, such as Pew’s 2014 U.S. Religious Landscape Study. What do

these polls tell us about current American religious life? To what extent are the polls useful?

What are their limits? The class meets in the Living Room.

Reformed Theology in a Sentence: When people described central theological distinctives

of the Reformed tradition of which Presbyterians are a part, they sometimes refer to the “five

points of Calvinism.” In fact, these distinctives can be expressed in the single sentence: “If

God desires to save us, God cannot fail.” This class will explore the history of the “five points

of Calvinism” and unpack their contribution to that single sentence. Tim Cargal will be

leading these classes in Room 209.

Fast Faith & Together With Jesus: Will continue to meet every Sunday as scheduled.



News from Harvey Browne Preschool

We are having lots of fun this fall at Harvey Browne Preschool. We had a great time showing

our families everything at our Open House and we celebrated Halloween by dressing up and

trick or treating around the building. The kindergarten went to the nursing home next door

dressed up in their costumes and sang songs for the residents, which they really enjoyed. We

celebrated Thanksgiving by feasting with our parents and learned all about how the Pilgrims

and Native Americans celebrated the first Thanksgiving. We have been collecting books for the

Louisville Free Public Library for our autumn mission project.

Looking ahead, we will be celebrating Christmas with our Birthday Parties for Jesus on

December 17 and 18. After their parties, the children will go to the Sanctuary to participate in

the telling of the first Christmas and sing songs for their families. Santa will be here on

December 8 and 14 taking time out of his busy schedule to visit. Every child looks forward to

sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him of their Christmas wishes. Our December mission project

will be to clean out our toy boxes and donate a toy still in great condition to the Home of the

Innocents.

Registration for the 2016-2017 school years is beginning and we would love to have as many of

our HBPres children in the preschool as possible. As a church member you receive top priority

in the registration process. We will be mailing registration information on January 4. The

priority registration period ends January 15. You can register anytime between now and

January 15 and be guaranteed a place in the school. If you have a particular class or days of the

week that you want, you may register early in order to get your first choice. If you have

questions or would like to take a tour, please contact the preschool office at 895-2577. We would

love to talk with you and have your children here.

My deepest appreciation and thanks

to my faithful and caring church

family, who have supported me

through this difficult time. I feel

surrounded and upheld by your loving

concern shown through your many

cards, notes and visits. I can’t begin

to express what they have meant.

Thank you,

Louise Pumpelly

I want to take this opportunity to thank

the church family for the cards, phone

calls, and other expressions of concern

after the recent death of my daughter-in-

law, Jaimie DeLoach, in Columbus,

Georgia. Every one of these was

appreciated. It really comforted me

during this trying time.

Thanks so much to all,

Becky Eades

Friends like you at HBPres are a

rare treasure. Thank you for your

prayers, visits, cards, flowers, food

and for being you. You have been a

gift to my life!

John and Bill, you always raised my

spirits with your prayers and visits.

We are so blessed to have you as our

ministers.

Thank you and

God bless all of

you,

Barbara Noland

I feel so blessed to have a job that I love and to have so many HBPres members and staff

that have shared their wishes, thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery and a speedy

recovery.

I read the many cards I’ve received again the other day and felt so much joy and

kindness. They truly warmed my heart.

I thank you all for the cards, calls and text. I am looking forward to returning as soon as

possible.

Best wishes and blessings,

Tina Mosley
