November 22
[Episcopal Church Office of Pub-
lic Affairs press release]
November 25 to December 10
have been designated as the 16
Days of Activism Against Gen-
der Violence, an annual cam-
paign to raise awareness about gender-based violence.
In conjunction with the 16 Days, The Episcopal Church
is calling for resources on gender-based violence in re-
sponse to General Convention resolution A139 on Gender
Violence. Parishes and dioceses are also invited to share
information on ministries and events related to gender-
based violence.
Gender-based violence, as defined by the United Na-
tions in 1993, is any act “… that results in, or is likely to
result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffer-
ing to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or
arbitrary deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in pub-
lic or private life.” According to the United Nations, gen-
der-based violence is widespread across countries, classes,
races, cultures and religions and affects individuals, their
families and communities. It should be noted that men and
boys are also subject to gender-based violence.
Send resources to Lynnaia Main, Episcopal Church
Global Relations officer at [email protected].
The resources gathered during the 16 days will be posted
on Episcopal News Service Online. Info on the resources
will be distributed.
“The annual 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Vio-
lence is an international campaign that began in 1991 at
the Center for Women’s Global Leadership at Rutgers
University,” explained Main.
The theme of the 2103 campaign is From Peace in the
Home to Peace in the World: Let’s Challenge Militarism
Nov. 25 - Dec. 10:
16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence
and End Violence Against Wom-
en! with three priority areas: vio-
lence perpetrated by state actors;
domestic violence and the role of
small arms; and sexual violence
during and after conflict.
Main noted that key events
also are marked during the 16 Days of Activism Against
Gender Violence, with the start and end dates emphasizing
the link between violence against women and the violation
of their human rights:
November 25 – International Day for the Elimination of
Violence Against Women and White Ribbon Day
December 1 – World AIDS Day
December 10 – International Human Rights Day
Among the resources available for observing the 16 Days
of Activism Against Gender Violence:
• Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will preside
and preach in the Chapel of Christ the Lord in the Episco-
pal Church Center, NYC, on November 25 – International
Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women/
White Ribbon Day.
• In past years, Anglican Women’s Empowerment, Episco-
pal Church Women (ECW) and the Episcopal Women’s
Caucus have jointly published daily prayers during the 16
Days. This year, the ECW National Board will post a daily
prayer on the theme Violence Against Women and Girls;
sign up for the free e-Communique newsletter here.
• The Anglican Communion’s women’s desk published a
resource called “Anglicans and the 16 Days” that features
various resources and initiatives Communion-wide and is
available here.
• Episcopal Church Global Partnerships blog will feature
daily contributions on gender-based violence by guest
bloggers from around the Church.
• A Letter to the Churches of the Anglican Communion
from the Primates of the Anglican Communion following
their Primates’ Meeting in Dublin, Ireland (24-30 January
2011)

As I sit at my desk with my kitty curled up in my lap and purring kitty carols, I think about Thanksgiving and the cherished memories I have. When grandkids were younger, we would meet at Calloway Gardens for the holi-day, renting a villa that slept 12, our exact number! The fun and games would go well into the night and we had a wonderful get time together. The grandkids ask, “Will we ever all go to Calloway Gardens again?” With them scattered from Seattle to Flor-ida and Georgia to Wisconsin, I’m doubtful it will happen, but I have those memories I cherish. I’d like to offer some health tips for the holiday season: “Taking a breather” - Deep- breathing exercises can help maximize oxygen exchange, facilitate relaxation and re-duce stress. They can also act on the centers in your brain that lower blood pressure. The following exercise can help get you started: Get comfortable - Wear clothes that are loose at the waist, and either lie on your back or sit comfortably in a chair with your feet resting on the floor. Take position - If lying down, rest one hand on your abdo-men and one hand on your chest. If sitting, place your feet flat on the floor, relax your shoulders and put your hands in your lap. Basic breathing to start - Inhale through your nose, as this filters and warms the air. Exhale through your mouth. Concentrate on your normal breathing for a few minutes. Inhale deeply - Inhale while slowly counting to four or for about four seconds. Expand your abdomen slightly as you inhale. As you breathe in imagine the air flowing to all parts of your body, supplying you with cleansing, energiz-ing oxygen. Exhale slowly - You may wish to hold the air in your lungs for a few seconds. Next, exhale to a count of four, as your abdomen contracts. Imagine tension flowing out of you along with the exhaled breath. Repeat--Pause for a moment. Repeat
Healthy tips for the season by Nurse Sally
While browsing the internet and writing this message, I
came upon this sobering statistic:
“Currently two million Americans live in nursing homes.
Fifty million Americans alive now are expected to spend
their last days in a nursing home.” And many of these face
daily lives of loneliness.
When I graduated from high school, I got a job working
for a TV repair shop in Upstate New York. I had to make
service calls, sometimes repairing the set at the home, or
with more serious problems, bringing it back to the shop.
One day, I was given a service call for a resident at “The
Home for the Aged,” an elderly care facility of days past.
I, toolbox in hand, was welcomed into her small room by a
somewhat frail, but smiling, elderly lady. She told me that
she would like me to look at her TV because she thought it
needed some adjustment.
I looked at her small tabletop 12” black and white TV;
and to me the picture looked perfectly clear. We chatted
awhile about things I can’t specifically recall now. Any-
way, I readjusted some normal user front panel controls,
but really, left it no better than when I first saw it. Howev-
er, she seemed to be appreciative and said, “I guess it just
needed an expert touch.”
Even back then, I sensed that the woman just needed
someone to visit her and talk with her awhile. I hope my
service call helped. I felt bad about having to charge her;
but the business didn’t belong to me and the policy dictat-
ed we charge for service calls.
That brief encounter, so many years ago, still haunts me
sometimes. I often wonder if she spent the last years of
her life alone, or did she have friends or family who would
visit her sometimes.
As we approach the Christmas season of giving, and
always, may we all hearken to God’s words that old age is
a blessing and worthy of respect. May we each find in our
hearts some form of giving to an elderly person that needs
our help and our caring.

Make a difference this Advent Advent is a season observed by Christians as a time of
expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of
the Nativity of Jesus. The word “advent” comes from the
Latin word adventus, meaning “coming.”
Advent is a time of expectation and hope, when we look
forward to God coming for all creation and live in expecta-
tion of what might be. It is a time to remember those suf-
fering around the world and across the street.
While we await Christ, take the time to alleviate the suf-
fering of our fellow men and women – those who are hun-
gry, returning from war, or struggling financially. Here
are some ideas and resources: Send cards to soldiers over-
seas (http://www.operationchristmascard.org/), visit a
nursing home, or help fight hunger or provide clean drink-
ing water around the world by donating to Episcopal Re-
lief and Development (http://www.episcopalrelief.org/).
God gave each of us the ability to make a difference, to
bring a light into the dark places of the world – right here
and right now. We live in expectation of a world that is
healed, thanks in part to your ministry to those in need.
We salute you!
On Sunday, November 10, we paid tribute to our veterans. Pictured here are Dan Ferguson, Tom Condon, Lyle Morreau, Robert Westbrook, Jim Morningstar, Paul Palmer, Dave Somerville, Bill Ramsey, John Nicholls, Susan Early, John Velaski and Maurice Currie.
St. Nicholas of Myra, born in 260,
was a wealthy man who dedicated his
life to serving the poor. He is the pa-
tron saint of needy children. The true
St. Nicholas was a man of deep faith
who lived his life in devotion to
Christ.
Perhaps the best-known story about
Nicholas concerns his charity toward a
poor man who was unable to provide
dowries for his three daughters of
marriageable age. Rather than see
them forced into prostitution, Nicholas
secretly tossed a bag of gold through
the poor man’s window on three separate occasions, thus
enabling the daughters to be married. Over the centuries,
this particular legend evolved into the custom of gift-
giving on the saint’s feast day, December 6. In the Eng-
lish-speaking countries, St. Nicholas became, by a twist of
the tongue, Santa Claus—further expanding the example
of generosity portrayed by this holy bishop.
Learning about the gift-giving life of the real St. Nicho-
las is a way of connecting to the true spirit of Christmas.
Read more at the St. Nicholas Center. Focus your energy
on this day, and throughout the Christmas season, on giv-
ing to the needy – just as Nicholas did. His life, which
embodied compassion and charity, is a model for us as we
are called to respond to human need by loving service.
St. Nicholas Day: Dec. 6
Our Holiday Craft Fair on November 16 was such a success, another has been planned for February 15. Fifteen vendors were selling everything from organic coffee to quilts and birdhouses. Mark your calendar for February!

Three new vestry members elected at Annual Meeting On Sunday, November
17, 2013, we wrapped up
our Flourish in Faith Pro-
gram by turning in our
pledges and burning our
Blessing Leaves as a
symbolic offering of
thanksgiving to God.
Following the service, we
held our annual meeting.
Our Senior Warden,
Chuck Barnett called the
meeting to order and the
Rev. Sandra Mayer of-
fered a prayer. In the first
order of business, Mela-
nie Velaski addressed the
meeting with a pre-filed
resolution, in which she
moved to invoke Canon
14 under Title 1 of the
Canons of the Episcopal Church: “This resolution allows
for the retention of retiring Wardens and Vestry members
in order to facilitate continuity of the vestry while there is
no Priest-in-Charge or Rector of the parish.” This would
allow for the retention of Chuck Barnett as Senior Warden
and Beth Woods as a vestry member.
Chuck explained that he met with Bishop Duncan earli-
er in the week at which time the Bishop expressed his de-
sire to “freeze” the vestry while there is no Priest-in-
Charge or Rector. The Bishop offered two options: either
he could freeze the vestry, in which case Chuck would
become The Bishop’s Warden, or the congregation could
vote to keep the current members of the vestry and Chuck
would remain Senior Warden for another year or until we
have a Rector or Priest-in-Charge.
After some discussion about extended service resulting
in “burn out,” Fred Woods moved to amend the resolution
as follows: “This resolution allows for the retention of
retiring Wardens and Vestry members in order to facilitate
Children’s Items & Food:
Apples, oranges, bananas
grapes
Non-sugar snacks
Animal Crackers, graham
crackers
Snack-size chips
Pretzels
School Supplies - pencils,
pens, crayons, glue,
folders, notebook paper,
etc.

continuity of the vestry while there is no Priest-in-Charge
or Rector of the parish for a period of one year to be re-
addressed at the next Annual Meeting or until such time
as there is a Priest-in-Charge or Rector of the parish.”
The motion passed 34 to two.
There were still three previously vacated positions that
needed to be filled. Pre-filed nominations for new vestry
members were Linda Aligood, Tom Chaapel, Susan Ear-
ly, Frank Murphy, Dave Somerville, and Jackie Wright.
There were no nominations from the floor. New vestry
members elected at the meeting are Frank Murphy for a
three-year term, Linda Aligood for a two-year term, and
Tom Chaapel for one year.
The Vestry Liaisons for the SWEEPS Commission
gave reports on Service, Worship, Education, Evange-
lism, Pastoral Care & Parish Life, and Stewardship.
Fred Woods, newest member of the Finance Commit-
tee, presented the 2014 Proposed Budget of $103,000.
The 2014 budget is $19,471 less than last year’s budget
with significant savings in the priest salary, but increases
in outreach by 10%.
Delegates chosen to represent St. Monica’s at the 43rd
Annual Diocesan Convention, February 20-22 at St.
Christopher’s, Pensacola were Chuck Barnett, Ray Farrel
and Viven Welch.
In the open forum, the question arose, when could we
start the search process? Chuck explained that we are not
financially able to support a full-time or part-time priest at
this time. The average cost to support a full-time priest
fresh out of seminary is between $50,000 and 60,000 plus
an additional $20,000 in benefits. The only way to sup-
port a full–time priest is to increase our individual pledges
and/or increase our membership. It was stated that in-
creasing our membership is something everyone should
be working toward by inviting people to church.

A delegation of eight represented St. Monica’s at the Small Church Conference on November 9 at St. Agatha’s in DeFuniak Springs. Pictured above are Dan Ferguson, Carol Farrel, Connie Chamberlin, Brenda Ferguson, Viv Welch, Beth Woods, Chuck Barnett and Brennis Whaley.
Presentations at the conference included The Rt. Rev. Cy Jones who spoke on Evangelism in the 21st Century, The Rev. Steve Panky who talked about the “We Dream of a Diocese Commission” and Elizabeth MacWhinnie, Diocesan Communications Director, who told us about the new Diocesan Communications Plan.
The start of the New Year will also be the beginning of
a new ministry at St. Monica’s. Its purpose will be two-
fold: to help feed people in our immediate area and to in-
volve our congregation in a shared ministry.
The idea was borrowed from the “Rice and Beans Min-
istry” started at St. Agatha’s Episcopal Church in Defuniak
Springs early this year, presented to the Vestry, and ap-
proved at the November meeting. There are currently
twelve churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, and
two in our diocese who are already involved in this out-
reach, and the need is growing. While resources are always
an issue for small churches, this ministry is a perfect ex-
ample of how much can be done in the community even by
a small congregation.
On the last Saturday of each month, for about an hour
and a half, or until the supply runs out, we will be distrib-
uting rice and dried beans to each family who comes. For
part of that time we will also be providing them with a
simple breakfast. We will begin by following the model of
St. Agatha’s which started by helping 30 families each
month.
The Vestry has approved the purchase of bulk rice and
beans, which will be re-bagged for distribution, as well as
items to be prepared for breakfast. This ministry has al-
ready been blessed by the generosity of one of our Vestry
members who has committed to providing the rice and
beans needed for the first three months! But we will need
volunteers to package these items, help prepare breakfast,
distribute food, and get the word out in our community.
It is my hope that this new ministry will not be just out-
reach, but also in reach, bringing our congregation togeth-

a couple of the guys from Band of Brothers working with
a few choir members and some of our Sunday schoolers,
or some of the Vestry working with some of the quilters.
This ministry doesn’t require a weekly or monthly com-
mitment and there are parts of it can be done by anyone.
There are still details to work out about exact times for
distribution, recruiting volunteers and organizing into
some teams for shopping, packaging, cooking, and serv-

Are you looking for an opportunity to use your God-given skills to reach out to others in need, visit another culture, and bring healing and love to those less fortunate? The Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast will send its an-nual medical mission to its companion Diocese of the Do-minican Republic, March 15-23, 2014. The team will con-duct a family practice clinic in the parish of San Marco Iglesia and Escuela in the town of Haina, reaching out to the surrounding community and the parish mission sites of San Bartholomew and Piedros Blancos. They will also improve the water supply for San Marco by adding a puri-fication system to the recently installed well. Unlike past missions to Guatemala, the team size is re-stricted due to transport and accommodation limitations. Listed below is the typical team structure: Three primary care givers (M.D., P.A., or N.P.). Domini-can health authorities require a minimum of one M.D. on a visiting medical team; Three Spanish-English translators to work with primary care givers (basic medical terminology needed); Two Spanish-English translators for aftercare (explaining prescriptions and follow-up care);
Two pharmacists, or one pharmacist and one pharmacist tech; One registered nurse for triage; One lay person to handle traffic flow and crowd control. The mission group will install a simple water purifica-tion system for San Marco’s new water supply. Someone with basic plumbing knowledge will be needed to assist the team leader with system installation. Spanish speaking capability is not essential but beneficial. Team members will be responsible for raising at least $350.00 toward the mission fund, to cover the costs of medicines and in-country expenses such as room and board, transportation, fees, and medical referrals. Funds may be from personal, church, or community resources. Team members are also responsible for the cost and pur-chase of their own airfare. Tickets in the past have ranged from $550 to $900. While the mission fund covers room and board on the mission site, team members are also ex-pected to cover the cost of their dinner each night and two nights’ lodging at $47.00 per night. The team will stay at the Hotel Mercure in the old colo-nial portion of the capital city of Santo Domingo and com-mute by bus to the clinic site each day, Monday through Friday. Past clinics there have averaged 500 patients for the week. The team will attend a medical packing mission tenta-tively set for St. Paul’s, Foley, Saturday, March 1. This will be the only scheduled team meeting prior to the mis-sion and will be important to the overall mission success. The deadline for submitting applications is Tuesday, De-cember 31. The team size is relatively small. Therefore it is recommended that you submit your application as soon as possible. Visit www.diocgc.org to download an application to participate in the 2014 medical mission. Questions may be referred to Keith Greene, team leader: Home: (850)651-4158; Cell: (850)496-7724; email: [email protected]. Note: The diocesan construction mission to the Dominican Republic occurs the week following the medical mission, March 22-30, 2014. Opportunities for non-medical team members are limited on the medical mission. Others may consider joining the construction mission. If you are lack-ing a needed skill, it will be taught to you.
Diocesan Medical Mission to Dominican Republic: Is it for you? By Diocesan News Team
Joe and Anna have been faithful supporters of their or-ganization. They believe it is important to support and encourage its mission. Joe: Several years ago, Anna and I decided to become part of the organization's mission. We believe that they are tru-ly helping others. We think that it is important to partner with them to make a difference. For that reason, Anna and I have made gifts over the years to help others. Anna: We wanted to do more than to just make gifts. Joe and I have been careful over the years and have accumu-lated some resources. We plan to be generous with family, but we also have the ability to be generous with charity. After talking it over, we decided to leave a bequest in our will. Our attorney took the simple language available from The Episcopal Church Foundation and included a nice bequest to our church. We are delighted that we will be helping others through ECF. You also may want to make it easy and convenient to have a bequest included in your will. The language link below shows how a bequest can very easily be included in your will. You might find it helpful to print the bequest language at http://ecf.giftlegacy.com/?pageID=127. Please feel free to give this information to your attorney. If he or she has any questions, please contact The Episcopal Church Foun-dation, 815 Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017 or call 800-697-2858. *Please note: The names above are representative of a typ-ical donor.
