GOT THE CHRISTMAS BLUES?
As we soak in all twelve days of Christmas, we remember that this is not al-ways a joyous, magical, luminous season for everyone. Although our neighbor-hoods are adorned with myriad bright, colorful lights, for some people, all the joy of the season only increases their loneliness, loss, and darkness. I remember how, when my Granny, my father’s mother, died just after Christmas, my dad would become depressed once the 25th of December rolled around. This did not just happen the year after her death, but many Christmases afterwards. For those who have lost a loved one, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays and anni-versaries are tough, as we feel our beloved’s absence even more keenly. For those families whose spouse or partner, son or daughter, mother or father is away serving in the military, or in prison, Christmas feels empty. For those who have family but little money, Christmas is a very anxious time. Seeing other families, couples, mothers and fathers, and children enjoying the holiday can be very painful.
I am thankful that we have a team of dedicated parishioners who have been trained to listen and support those who are struggling; they are known as Stephen Ministers. Saint Mary’s has been training and using Stephen Ministers now for over 20 years: Barbara Ide, George and Llewjean White, Bob Bender, John Haworth, and Betsy Lehman have all been Stephen Ministers for a long time. Mary Gordon, Judy Boggs, Dr. Sally Bulla, Revon Johnson, Dr. Frankie Gurganus, Cathy Falkson, Jane Marsh, and Joyce Earl were commissioned about two years ago. They had received 50 hours of classes in confidentiality, listening and walking alongside those having a hard time.
In the church pews, you will see orange and blue cards describing Stephen Ministry; Barbara Ide’s email address and phone number are on the cards, if you would like to ask for a Stephen Minister. Barbara will assign a Stephen Minis-ter to visit you once a week for an hour. Barbara’s email is: [email protected]. Her phone no. is 336-889-0155. Please do talk with me if you would like: 336-884-4732. [email protected]
You do not have to face your grief and darkness alone. We are here for you!
Best wishes, Sara +

DDesignated Christmas Offerings Loose offerings (cash, coin, so-designated checks) received during Christmas worship services will be divided between Episcopal Farm Worker Ministry (www.episcopalfarmworkministry.org) and Caring Services of High Point (www.caringservices.org), specifically toward Caring Services current residen-tial renovation project.

PPageant 2013: A Community Effort This year our Christmas Pageant was truly a commu-nity effort! The youth group began examining Gospel accounts of Jesus' birth in late October and spent No-vember writing a script from scratch. A group of twelve children practiced music for the pageant under the direction of Charles Hogan for eight weeks. Adults volunteered to run the sound booth, assist with practices, help with scenery, decorate the tree, take photos, help direct, and sort costumes. Sara Palmer organized a canned food drive to benefit Open Door Ministries. On Christmas Eve we had over 65 young people in the pageant! We are so grateful for all those who made this incredible service possible!
Sara's Can Drive Poem:
“What shall I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb,
If I were a health-nut, I would give some bran,
But what I have I give Him, give a CAN, giiiiiiive a CAN!!!”
Rev. Palmer holding a canned good for the pageant

Parish News
SSouthwest Renewal The Southwest Renewal Foundation, which grew out of St. Mary’s Environmental Stewardship Committee, has a new website: www.highpointsouthwest.org or www.hp-sw.org. The website was funded with a $2000 Parish Initiative Grant from the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina and a $750 grant from Province IV [Southeast US] Episcopal Church Environmental Ministries.
The Episcopal Church has a long history of supporting “relief and development” in underserved areas like the inner city quadrant of southwest High Point. Many in the faith community in High Point participate in “relief” by providing food, clothing, shelter, and after school care in the Southwest. Not so many are working on the “development” side to bring structural, systemic change to improve the area, raise the quality of life, and make the district more economically competitive to create jobs. The Southwest Renewal Foundation represents the “development” side of the equation.
Once the economic engine of High Point, many areas in the southwest quadrant now lay fallow waiting for re-birth. But signs of revitalization are starting to emerge.
St. Mary’s Dorothy Darr and Revon Johnson are co-founders of the Southwest Renewal Working Group, along with Quaker Dot Kearns, Methodist Charles Simmons, and Presbyterian Tim Mabe. Both Dorothy and Revon agree that at times it’s been a real challenge balancing our witness to faith with community activism, because as Christians, we enter the realm of politics where people hold very different political theories and philosophies. Both agree that in their spiritual journey into community development, it’s been a tremendous benefit being an Episcopalian because our church practices constantly respect and cooperation among peo-ple—all one family, all one church.
The foundation was fortunate to find Asa Moran, the son of two Methodist ministers, to technically build the site. On a small budget, we had to stretch each dollar. To do so, we chose the format, wrote the text, and pro-vided the pictures and their sequence. We also wanted the website to be visually attractive, informative, and easy to navigate. Asa was our technical whiz-kid to make our vision a reality.
In some ways, the website is two websites in one. Alongside conveying our foundation’s vision and projects for Southwest Renewal, we sought to promote High Point’s home furnishings business cluster to create jobs. We couldn’t find another website describing this world famous business cluster. Everyone spoke to their in-dividual parts. So we included a “High Point” category with an extensive drop box. This makes sense to Southwest Renewal because so much of High Point’s market district is located in the northern section of the southwest quadrant.
Several members of St. Mary’s are featured on the site. Please take a look and let us know what you think. Also please join us on Facebook and subscribe to our quarterly digital newsletter. We need all of the partici-pation and input we can get. Thank You! ~ Dorothy Darr, Revon Johnson

Music News
MMusic Academy News Emory Howell, Violinist, with Margarita Vargas, Ac-companist and Teacher performing a concert of clas-sical and Christmas selections for the Emerywood Garden Club on December 10th at the High Point Country Club. Emory began studying violin when he was just 6 and is now preparing to audition to col-leges as a violin performance major. He is a true suc-cess story from St. Mary's Music Academy and we are so proud of him.
PPrepare the Way A Success With over 80 registered participants, Prepare the Way was a resounding suc-cess! For eight weeks, adults gathered for lively discussion at The Vino Shoppe (averaging over 30 folks each week), teens thoughtfully and methodi-cally wrote our Christmas Pageant (averaging over 10 teens each week), and a
dozen young singers learned about the meaning of Christmas and practiced music for our pageant. At the end of the hour-long program, we gathered in the Parish Hall each Sunday evening for a wonderful meal catered by Rachel Brewbaker, Gail Slate, and Audrey Yowell (with the able assistance of new-comer Dawn Johnson). Our thanks extend to all who participated and who helped make this program such a wonderful success!
CChoir School Receives Grant Towards the funding of our July 2014 trip to Canter-bury and London, the Youth’s Friends Association granted us $5000 in December. Together with funds allocated by St. Mary’s and other donations, we are over the 20% mark of our goal!
Through May, we will be conducting various fund-raisers, the next one being the weekend of January 25, when we will have a FUN-filled “dollar auction.” At this event, we will have many items --some mod-est, some luxurious-- on which you may bid. It is a dollar auction because you simply add a dollar to the till each time you raise the bid. There is no final cu-mulative bid price, who gets the prize is whoever added the final dollar. The process is fun, fun, fun. Mark your calendars and join us for the event. Child-care and light refreshments will be provided.
