A NOTE FROM OUR
SUMMER INTERN...
Annual Meeting of the Congregation
Worship and Music Dr. Brice Gerlach, Director of Music Ministries, [email protected] 2
Imagine, lots of
people taking part in the service through presentations of the bread and wine, through reading stories or scripture, and hearing from one another. Then conjure up music from various traditions – traditional hymns re-made in Jazz style, Celtic hymns (Iona Community), reggae that gives glory to God, Latin worship music, Gospel, and music we can’t even put a label on. The teaching will be mindful of children and challenge even the most regular adult church goer. And every Sunday there will be a lively and active offering of Communion. Yes, we are offering some ancient paths in new currents of worship.
It gets down to some fundamental questions about following Christ and raising our children. Are they learning the practices of the church – how to worship God (prayer, singing, noticing the Holy among us) and how to love others (through empathy, care for others, mission, etc.)? Do they feel like a part of the church and Christ’s body – connected, cared for, and valued?
This will replace Sunday school and taking children out of worship. Instead, our kids will worship with us in a way that will compel us all to move with the currents of the Spirit.
So please, come, invite a friend, and take part in this exciting adventure!

3 Worship and Music
career has spanned ten years, beginning in Seattle,
where she performed jazz in popular venues
including Tula’s, The Space Needle, and the
Sorrento Hotel. It was in Seattle that Richardson
met professional jazz Guitarist and Bassist Dan
Heck, who would become her husband and musical
partner.
Recording artist, composer and educator Heck,
graduated from the Berklee College of Music in
Boston. A move to Seattle in 1993, offered Heck
the perfect
opportunity to
establish his
professional jazz
reputation.
As a founding
member of the band
“Bebop and
Destruction”, he
experienced national
success and
recognition for his
efforts, winning several awards and recording four
critically acclaimed CD’s with the group.
After Seattle, Richardson and Heck spent five
years pursuing their musical dreams in New York
City, working in famous venues such as theBlue
Note, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Kavehaz, Flute,
The Pierre Hotel, Cleopatra’s Needle, and the
French Consulate. Lured away from the grey skies
of New York by the sun and surf of Naples,
Richardson and Heck relocated where they
continued to play together, solo and with larger
groups.
When asked about her interest in this new service,
Rebecca says, “I’ve been working as a musician for
a long time in various church capacities, as a
church director, soloist, and often times the church
will ask me to do specific pieces. And I’m excited
about this opportunity … to be creative, to write
music, to be part of a congregation, and to share
music that inspires me. I’m also excited to do
something that hasn’t been done before, combining
such music styles and genres and not fitting them
into any one box.”
Would you like to assist
in the worship service?
Lay Reader Training
As we consider worship
in the coming season,
we would like to increase
lay leadership.
If you feel led to contribute
by reading scripture, calling the congregation to
worship, or leading prayers, we would like to
offer some basic training in this area in order to
build skills and familiarize readers with the
acoustics of our sanctuary.
Training will take place on Wednesday,
September 12, at 6:30 p.m. and on Thursday,
January 31 at 11:00 a.m. (as an alternate).
Please call Rev. Evans to register 239.262.1311.
From the Senior Pastor Dr. Edward Thompson, Senior Pastor, [email protected]
Dear Members and Friends, As I put pen to paper the London Games have just concluded. What a wonderful two weeks we have witnessed, even with tape delayed TV! Certainly the “youth of the world” gathered and competed. Smiles and tears
were in abundance. Great Britain, as the host nation, had a wonderful result and nicknamed the event the “Golden Games.” Others saw tears replace the “British stiff upper lip” and named the two weeks as the “crying games”. This was certainly true every evening as we watched the gymnastics! On the closing day of the games, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, was joined by national leaders from Brazil, Kenya, India, and other nations in what was called a “hunger summit” in a pledge to address the issue of malnutrition of children. Olympic athletes addressed the “summit”, urging for work to be done on a noticeable scale before the next summer Olympic Games in Brazil. Perhaps this prompting was aided by the hugely popular and intriguing trilogy of novels by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, when, if we learned anything, it was and is that hunger is not a game. Let us hope and pray that such a pledge will make a difference for good and make a dent in world hunger.
During the two week extravaganza we learned many wonderful stories of triumph against all sorts of odds, none more amazing than the story of the South African sprinter, Oscar Pistorius, the first double amputee athlete to compete in the Olympics. Naturally, there was much celebration of the achievement of Michael Phelps, the most decorated medal winner of all time. Yes, there were records broken every day. A whole set of Olympic and World records were etched into the record books and no doubt, when athletes gather in four years’ time the same will be true of them. The “talking heads” of TV informed us how Bronze medal winners are generally happier than Silver medal winners, the latter still sore from not obtaining Gold. Perhaps, like me, you watched and were impressed by both the ability and the wisdom of Missy Franklin, the 17-year-old swimmer from Colorado. On being asked about her disappointment in finishing fourth in the 200-meter freestyle, she replied with a wide smile, “finishing fourth in an Olympic race is not disappointing.”
WR, OR, PB. World Record, Olympic Record and Personal Best! PB is what makes the games so exciting. To see athletes come and achieve their Personal Best, even though that in itself might not take them to the medal podium, is a moment to be cheered and celebrated. And the same can be said of you and me. It’s not so much the medals we win along the way, it’s rather more about doing all that we can do so we can call it a Personal Best. And as each year of faith adds maturity and wisdom, I hope and pray each year of following Jesus adds passion to every fiber of our being so that we excel and reach our PB, and then break that record with another PB, and on and on we go. As the apostle Paul writes in Romans 12:10, “outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.” Let us offer to God our Personal Best as we serve and worship God and care for all God’s people.
Inside this newsletter you will read of our new worship opportunity. We are offering our PB to worship God and to learn from the scriptures, the story of our faith and to hear afresh the challenge of the gospel as we live our lives. I covet your prayers for this adventure and look forward to seeing you attend this new worship event. Also, inside you will find details of our forthcoming Christian Education classes. Over the next 12 months we will pursue the theme Flying Low - The Bible from under 10,000 feet. This is a deliberate attempt to take a closer look at the scriptures and, with contemplative reflection, to read scripture as a committed encounter with God’s truth. I warmly invite you to come join with others on Wednesday evenings beginning September 19.
August is all but over and September is just round the corner. I am excited at what is in store for us as we move into the rest of this year and plan for next. Let us be sure
that as a congregation we join together, “Growing in
the Grace of God” as we celebrate the breadth and depth of God’s love for the world. Let us commit our lives to Jesus, becoming faithful followers in word and action, and let us demonstrate compassion to all around us, as we live out Jesus prayer, “Thy will be done on earth.” Celebration,
Commitment, Compassion – that is what we are about.
See you in church on Sunday!

Argentina, Uruguay, and Waldensians
Twelve years ago, I started a year that changed my life –
how I see myself, the world, and following Jesus into the
world. I was a PCUSA missions volunteer in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, working with street kids. Just a few months ago
I was blessed with the opportunity to visit once again.
But this time I was not going as a young volunteer. I came
down to help connect the Waldensian churches and
ministries in South America with churches wih PCUSA.
My first stop was Buenos Aires. There, I met a wonderful
clergy couple. We shared thoughts on ministerial
challenges that we have in common. The next morning, I
visited some old friends of mine, some Swiss Methodist
missionaries who have worked with orphans and troubled
children for decades, and they now are finishing their life’s
work in La Lechería, a place that helps educate children
and youth in a poor barrio. I visited it again and was
touched by the continued need and the wonderful work
being done there.
After that visit, I went to the northern province of Chaco
with Rev. Francis Rivers (Executive Director of the
American Waldensian Society), Dennis Smith (PCUSA
Regional Liaison, Brazil and Southern Cone, World
Mission), and Pastor Kevin Frederick from the Waldensian
Presbyterian Church in North Carolina. In Chaco, we
visited the Toba people. They are largely hunters and
gatherers struggling for their land. The communities we
visited are Christian and seek out ecumenical partnerships.

visit.

ecumenical seminary in Buenos Aires.
Here I am with Francis, Alba Rostan (Director of JUM,
“United Missions Group”), and Dennis Smith.
After the trip to Chaco, I visited an organic farm and
spiritual retreat center in Uruguay before meeting with
Waldensian leaders in Montevideo.
It was wonderful to be back in my old stomping grounds
and to see some new places and ministries. There’s so
much more that I can’t fit into a newsletter but, some
fascinating projects and ministries are happening. I hope to
discern where the Spirit is leading me in the years to come.

Flying Low
The Bible at 10,000 feet The hope is to take a closer look at the Bible – a close reading, a committed encounter and a contemplative reflection as we hear the Bible call us to follow and call us to take action.

Jonathan Evans will lead the third and fourth. We will meet in Spencer Hall at 6:30 p.m.

By the time you read
this, we will
be underway
with our new school year. Small voices can be heard
in the hallways and outside once again. And on top of
all that, we’re anxiously awaiting the upcoming
installation of the new sun shade on the playground.
Due to the overwhelming outpouring of support from
Preschool families and Church members and friends,
we were able to secure all the needed funds to
complete the purchase and plan the installation of the
sun shade. We had hoped that the installation could be
done and finished by the first day of school; however,
we were held up during the initial permitting phase.
We have received the proper permits and the supplies
have been ordered.
As we continue to work with Shades Abound, we are
currently hoping for a completion date towards the end
of September, if not sooner.
The sun shade comes at a good time…I recently met a
family and conducted a tour of our Preschool. The
family and I visited one of the classrooms where
Benjamin enjoyed exploring all the learning materials
accessible. We stepped outside to view the playground
and, very quickly, Benjamin turned to his parents and
me and exclaimed, “Too hot…inside.” Spoken from
the mouths of babes, even a two year old could tell that
outside play was not going to be pleasurable on this
particular day.
Again, we want to thank you for your continued
support of the First Presbyterian Preschool program.
Keep your eyes open to catch a glimpse of the sun
shade!

supportive Christian care.
CONSIDER serving as a Stephen Minister.

Feed the 5,000 Luke 9:10-17
September 2012 - St. Matthew’s House
St. Matthew’s House provides food for the hungry, housing for the homeless, and an opportunity to change lives in a compassionate, disciplined spiritual environment. Suggested items include: coffee, sugar, powdered milk, pasta sauce, pasta, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned soup, canned meat or stew. If you are able to help others who are in need, on the first Sunday of each month, pick up a Publix bag with a list of suggested food items as you leave the
Sanctuary. Food is collected on the second Sunday of the month before the service, at the 6th Street church entrance. If you prefer, checks may be made payable to "First Presbyterian Church" and the memo marked "Feed the 5,000."
A few members of the
staff participated in some
team building and
volunteer work at the
Grace Place Food Pantry
on Friday, August 3.
We filled 170+ bags of
groceries for needy
residents of Collier
County.
The Grace Place Food Pantry opened in February 2008 in response to the economic recession. Children began asking
if they could take their snack home to mothers who had not eaten that day and families began to share that they were
not able to feed their families due to unemployment or severely reduced work hours.
The Purpose of the Food Pantry is to meet the basic need of nourishment and health to support success in educational
programs. The Food Pantry is a secondary function of Grace Place but has become an essential service to this entire
community during the current economic times. In 2011, over 1500 families used the food pantry to meet emergency
family food needs.
The Food Pantry is open on Friday afternoons for families in need. Each week 140-180 families receive a simple
bag of basic groceries along with selections of bakery items. Frozen meat and fresh produce is provided when it is
available.

A NOTE FROM OUR
SUMMER INTERN...
Before this May and the beginning of my internship, I had
never had the opportunity to visit Naples. Upon hearing
that I would be spending my summer at First Presbyterian
Church of Naples, I was amazed at how often people would
tell me that Naples is absolutely beautiful. I was told that it
is one of the most beautiful places I would have the chance
to visit and that I would love it down there. What these
people didn't know was that, while they were intending to
make comments about the landscape and area, they were
also describing the people I would meet, absolutely
beautiful. My family could not say thank you enough to
the staff and congregation at First Presbyterian for an
unforgettable summer. We felt welcomed and encouraged
from the first day we stepped through the doors of Spencer
Hall. Thank you for being so warm and inviting, and for
allowing us into your lives over the last few months. In
coming down to First Presbyterian, I had thought that I was
coming for an internship, for a job. What I realized as I
was saying my goodbyes was that I was not just leaving an
internship, I was leaving a church who had become my
family. This was no longer a job for me, it was an
opportunity to serve alongside people that I had come to
care about deeply. You have an incredible staff and I feel
very fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time
learning from them. I really appreciated the way they work
so well together as a team and how much they truly
enjoyed each other. Having lunch at the wooden table
above the courtyard with them is something I miss almost
daily. Thank you to all of you who were able to come out
to my Thursday Bible Studies. I had a great time studying
with you through our eight weeks together. Thank you for
being open and for thinking deeply. You were all a weekly
encouragement to me. Now that my family and I are back
in Holland, MI, we are beginning to look ahead at what is
to come this year. I will be starting school about a week
before my daughter, Ellyot. I'm probably not quite as
excited as she is! I will have a light course load this year
so I am in the process of looking for a part-time position in
a church. My family is excited and hopeful as we try to
discern where we
feel led to work this
year. Thank you,
again, for an
amazing
summer. You are all
etched in our minds
and hearts and we
think about and pray
for you often. We
are hopeful to have
the opportunity to
visit you all again.
Grace,
Jeremy, Jenna,
Ellyot & Brekon

On behalf of the children and the Board of Directors of the

elementary school with confidence, knowledge and a
positive attitude toward education. Thank you for your
partnership in this very worthwhile project.

and support of community advocates like you. We, and the
children are very grateful.

What happens with the stamps we collect?
We get that question quite often and here’s the answer…
Used stamps can be sold to distributors, who then sell them to stamp collectors. The
Alliance Stamp Ministry in Ft. Myers, with the help of our Sew & Sews and residents of
Shell Point Village, collect and sort United States stamps into five categories: common,
commemorative, love, Christmas and special issue. Foreign stamps are welcome too.
Stamps are then packaged into packets of 500 or 1,000. The funds received from the sale
of these stamps are used to support the ministry of Publicaciones Alianza, a publishing
house located in Buenos Aires which is dedicated to writing and publishing Sunday
School materials in Spanish. These materials are being sold in 13 Latin American
countries, plus Spain and the United States.
Stamp Ministry Guidelines:
Carefully trim the stamps. When possible, leave a border around the stamp of 1/4” to 1/3”.
Do not remove the stamp from the envelope. If needed, our Sew & Sews will cut the
stamps to the proper size, however, they need enough space around the stamp to do so.
As always, if you would like to help the Sew & Sews, please join them on the second and
fourth Thursdays of each month from 10:00 a.m.—2:00 p.m.
