God’s Grace
Low blood pressure you notice, high blood pressure
probably not, which is why you need to have it
checked.”
Society will tell us in a hurry by making laws to con-
trol drinking and driving and stiff penalties for DUI
and drug arrests. Society will reward us for the so-
cially acceptable addictions and we will only find out
how destructive they are when they silently steal our
lives away from us. While you were out working all
those hours accumulating wealth, you missed your
child’s growing up. While you were busy
celebrating that you had the power to
control your own life, the stress of trying
to stay in control was killing you.
No, the only place you are going to find
out about the dangers of those socially
acceptable addictions is in the scriptures
and at church. In these places we dis-
cover that happiness in life is not about
being in control but rather recognizing
that God is in control. Here we will
learn that power and money will not get
us into the kingdom. Here we will learn
that we do not need to work at being a
different person but rather by the grace of God we can
rediscover the person God created us to be in the first
place.
So my advice to you for 2014 is that you take a long
swim in the pool that is filled with the grace of God.
That pool, by the way, may look a bit like a font.
John
I sat stunned the other day when I read in Craig
Barnes book Searching for Home this statement: “If
there is any grace in being addicted to booze, drugs,
gambling or sex, it is that these are not socially ap-
proved vices. So there are a variety of social structures
that try to mitigate against addiction to these things,
and lots of treatment centers to help these addicts turn
from their self-destruction. But those who are addict-
ed to the socially approved vices of power, money, and
(wait for it)….self-improvement have a harder time
realizing that the better they function with these ad-
dictions the more lost they become.”
Great. Here I am about to write you an
article about New Year’s resolutions,
which, as we all know, are about self-
improvement and he has to say some-
thing like this. After all, who wouldn’t
like to be a different person in 2014?
We would put things on our list like
working at controlling our temper,
being more generous, yelling at the
kids less, being more loving to our
spouse, or being more productive at
work. Okay, I don’t know how you
really feel about that last one!
Barnes says of these socially acceptable addictions:
“That’s because society approves of these addictions
and perceives them as the means of changing life and
becoming different, which is one of our great national
illusions. As with the disapproved alcoholics, as long
as the approved addicts function well they will only
grow more addicted to the things that are actually de-
stroying them, and more sleepy to the reality of their
predicament.”
I went for a regular visit to the doctor some time ago
and I said, “I have been feeling a bit dizzy in the morn-
ing and wonder if my blood pressure might be high?”
She said “It may be but it would not make you dizzy.
Basically with high blood pressure you will not know
you have it until you have your stroke or heart attack.
“As with the disapproved alcoholics, as long as the approved addicts function well they will only grow more addicted to the things that are actually destroying them, and more sleepy to the reality of their predicament.”

STILL SINGING ALLELUIAS!
December 1st was the start of Advent at church. It was also the day I came back to work after a month of medical
leave. In the Cabrera household, it was the day that all of the Christmas décor was carried upstairs, only to sit for
another two weeks. Thanksgiving had come and gone without a traditional turkey dinner. Nineteen members of
our extended family DID share a meal but it was at Jumbo Buffett (yes, they did have turkey!) and it just didn’t
feel like Thanksgiving. It was a holiday milestone on my journey to Advent that I missed.
Three of six December family birthdays passed us up prior to Christmas Day and they, too, didn’t feel quite as fes-
tive. Was it that the kids were getting older or was it a general sense of being unprepared for those sorts of cele-
brations too? The holiday candle I had burning in the kitchen was a false reminder of how unprepared I was. Jo-
seph and Mary were stuck in a box instead of traveling to the manger. Even though the lights were actually hung
on the house that first Sunday, the fresh pine tree sat bare in the living room for a whole week, its scent toying
with me, crying out for lights and those beautiful memories told each year when one by one the homemade orna-
ments were hung on every branch. I wasn’t even ready to decorate or shop or break out my Christmas tunes. I
immediately realized how much Christmas in my secular world was tied to my sacred life. Being absent for that
whole month prior to Advent really threw me for a loop. I had missed the preparation before the preparation so I
felt that I wasn’t ready for Advent. I am not sure what I was supposed to feel but I guess I was expecting the
POOF! Instantaneous Christmas Joy!
But then all of that changed. Maybe the amazing Trans Siberian Orchestra concert had something to do with it.
Or maybe it was a middle school holiday band concert followed by finally trimming the tree at our home. Or per-
haps it was in my freeing Joseph, Mary and the animals from the box and then placing them in the crèche we re-
ceived as a wedding gift from my parents. But it could have been the Cabbage Patch sorting gifts and groceries
event that contributed to the shift in my Advent heart. I soon figured it out. You see, I had been forcing myself
into Advent instead of experiencing THE WAIT as it was meant to unfold before me. Waiting to join in the journey
to the manger is very much a part of Advent. And our Advent hearts do change prior to, during and after the jour-
ney.
We all come to the manger in different ways and at different times. Some of us have those endearing family tradi-
tions that mark our journey’s progress but some of us just need to wait patiently and realize that we don’t have to
join the caravan from the get go. Just like the shepherds and the angels and eventually the Magi, people join in
the journey to the manger one after the other, creating much shorter trips for some, but we all arrive at the same
place. And because I jumped on board two weeks after the trip began, my Christmas heart is still very much burst-
ing with hope for this New Year that is upon us. Our lights and decorations are still up anticipating the arrival of
the Magi in the manger. Perhaps we all move a bit too fast early in Advent. Waiting really means WAITING.
And when we arrive after waiting for 4 weeks, 3 weeks, 2 weeks or even 1 week, waiting actually extends our time
on the journey allowing us to hang on to Christmas a bit longer. Maybe even well into the New Year.
LATER Later
after the angels,
after the stable,
after the Child,
they went back…
as we always must,
back to the world that doesn’t understand
our talk of angels and stars
and especially not the Child.
We go back complaining that it doesn’t last.
They went back to singing praises to God!
We do have to go back,
But we can still sing the alleluias!

I would like to thank everyone for
their prayers, meals and cards
during my medical leave in
November. It meant very much to
me to know that I was missed. I
feel blessed to serve such a caring
congregation. I would also like to
thank all of you for a joyous
welcome back!

Heartfelt Thanks
Dear Harvey Browne Members,
Dare to Care would once again like
to extend our gratitude for you
continued generosity in support of
our mission to end hunger in the
local community.
In 2013 you provided in excess of
12,400 meals to families and individ-
uals in need. On their behalf, we
thank you! Sincerely,
Jill Auge
Card of Thanks
The folk at St MAM want to thank
all those at Harvey Browne who
gave to the Thanksgiving
Grocery Bag Drive for those in
need. We received at least 32 bags
plus the additional food that has
been collected on Wednesday
nights. The ministry will reach one
hundred plus families within our
community. The joint effort of
churches in St Matthews has made
this a reality.
Thank You!
A Wonderful Gift
HBPres would like to extend a big
thank you to Jim Combs for the
donation of an AED defibrillator.
The defibrillator was given in
memory of his wife, Oma, and is
located in Emory Hall. Thank you
so much, Jim for the gift of this
potentially life-saving equipment.
I want to thank everyone who sent
get well cards, called, came to the
hospital and prayed for me during
my recent illness.
It is wonderful to have a church
family that gives so much support.
Thanks again.
Donna Jones

Staying Committed
Stewardship has been a hot top-
ic at HB over the past month.
One very important aspect of
financial stewardship is the dis-
cipline of giving to the church
on a regular basis and staying
committed to our pledge. Unfor-
tunately we saw a drop in
pledge income over the past
month, which means we were-
n’t able to meet our financial
obligation to the missions we
support. If you did not pay your
full 2013 pledge, please make
every effort to catch up so that
we can meet our commitments.
If for some reason you can’t give
the full amount, please give
what you can so those who de-
pend on us won’t be left short-
handed.
A Word About Our Excellent Stewardship Team
I want to thank our Stewardship team for the excellent job they did this year. Bill Harrod has done and
continues to do great work as chair. The rest of the team have done a noteworthy job to make our stew-
ardship plan work. The other members this year are Bruce Lindsey, Dee Pregliasco, Gary Luhr, Janie
Scott, and Jeff Barrick. These people have given the time to come up with a stewardship plan and then
write the letters and make the calls that have moved us toward our goal.
In addition, I give special thanks to Liz Harrod whose creative art-
work on our mailings was so very well done. Liz is living in Indianap-
olis these days but we are glad to see her heart is still here at HBPres.
Of course, none of these over the top efforts work without the care and
commitment of you, the members. Thanks to you we are very close
and we pray that you will continue to strive so that we might reach
our goal. Our success will allow us to continue to support all of the
ministries that make a difference in our church, community and
world.
In the meantime, we offer again our thanks to this hardworking team!
John
From the Stewardship Committee We are near the end of the 2014 Stewardship campaign. We still
have approximately 50 pledges outstanding. Our goal of $925,000 is
within reach. Many of you have prayerfully considered how HBPres
has made a difference in your lives and worship experience. Many
of you have increased your 2014 pledge to further make a difference
in the lives of people inside and outside of the church.
If you have not yet made your pledge, please prayerfully consider
increasing your pledge for 2014 and return it to the office as soon as
possible. If you have already turned in your pledge, thank you!
We need all of the pledges in as soon as possible so the budget
committee can begin its work of preparing the many ways HBPres
will make a difference in 2014.
Thank you from the Stewardship Committee!

Phillipines Typhoon Recovery Continues
More than a month after Typhoon Haiyan devistated much of the central part of the Philippines,
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) continues to work with its partners to provide basic relief. An
initial commitment of $50,000 from the One Great Hour of Sharing offering is helping to provide
Filipinos with food, water, sanitation and shelter. In the future, PDA will work with partners to access
to how best work toward long-term recovery.
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has five mission co-workers and several Young Adult Volunteers
based in the Philippines. Mission co-worker Rebecca Lawson is collaborating with the National Council
of Churches in the Philippines sorting supplies being sent to one of the hardest hit areas. Mission co-
workers Cobbie and Dessa Palm are helping United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) with
ongoing assessment needs. YAV Duncan Kirk has been assigned to work directly with the UCCP Task
Force Yolanda/Haiyan.
PDA is a member of ACT Alliance, an ecumenical agency that provides emergency, development and
advocacy resources to those in need. PDA’s partner, the National Council of Churches in the Philip-
pines, is working with ACT to assemble thousands of relief packages. If you want to help the recovery
efforts, you may do so by a check made payable to Harvey Browne Church and designating your gift to
DR000012-Philippines. You can also text 'PDA' to 20222 to donate $10 for disaster response.

Youth News
Coming Soon: Pyoca!
Back in the 80’s when I was a child, there were some classic programs on
TV. One of the highlights of the television week was Friday night when
ABC would host TGIF and families would gather around to watch.
This year for Pyoca we will be exploring the story of the disciples and what
it meant to follow Christ. We will pair this with a TV theme filled with ex-
amples from shows old and new. It will be a brilliant pairing of the world
of television with the world of scripture. There will also be a lot of games,
activities, and crafts inspired by the world of television.
Pyoca will be February 21-23. It is the winter retreat for the HBPres Youth
and takes place at Camp Pyoca near Brownstown, Indiana. It is a wonder-
ful retreat where we have lots of great discussions, scrumptious food, and
fireside fellowship. Please mark your calendars now. Registration forms
will be available January 19th and should be turned in by
February14th, Please contact me if you would like to volunteer to help
with the retreat.

Support the HBPres Youth by Shopping
There are many ways to support
the work of the church, though few
are easier than doing something
that you already do: shop for
groceries. The HBPres Youth have
partnered with Kroger in an on-
going fundraiser. You can partici-
pate by picking up a Kroger Gift
Card from Portia Britian. The
youth group receives 4% back from
every dollar added to these cards.
Every time you shop, you can
recharge the card with money,
which can be used for groceries,
gas, prescriptions, and all other
goods sold by Kroger and its affili-
ates. Thank you for remembering to
use your card each time you shop as
this makes a huge difference for the
youth group.
Preschool Patter
We had a very exciting December with our Christmas celebrations. Santa
visited and the children were able to have their pictures made and wishes
known. Our birthday parties for Jesus were a wonderful celebration of the
birth of Baby Jesus as Adam Fischer told our children the Christmas story
as part of the program where the children sang Christmas songs for our
parents. The kindergarten children told the Christmas story of the birth of
baby Jesus and sang songs about the birth. They were wonderful celebra-
tions for the children and the parents.
We are currently registering children to attend Harvey Browne Preschool
for the 2014-15 school year beginning in August. Church members get top
priority in the registration process through January 17th If you have chil-
dren that are preschool age, registration information is being mailed on

Thank you again for all your support for your preschool program. Happy
New Year and many blessings in 2014.

Don’t Blow the Diet in One Fell Swoop You worked so hard the entire fall to look good for those holiday parties, why have to go back to the be-
ginning with a whole new diet in January? Here are some suggestions to prevent those holiday tables
from spoiling all that hard work.
Eat small meals the day of the affair: high fiber breakfast; veggies & fruits for lunch; & a healthy,
filling snack prior to the event.
Check out the buffet for content and only eat those foods you like, taking small portions.( as usual,
portion control is essential to controlled eating)
Don’t chat near the buffet table. It makes it too easy to graze.
Remember, beverages have calories too. Control alcohol consumption or substitute wine or light
beer. Five ounces of wine, Twelve ounces of light beer or 1.5 ounces of liquor in a non-calorie mixer
all amount to 120 calories.
Now go on and have a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!
Tables of Eight
We will soon be reorganizing the Tables of Eight for spring 2014.
Tables of Eight is a wonderful way to really get to know your fellow
HBPres members. Those who have been at HBPres for years say
that after a round of Table of Eight dinners, their dinner partners
are friends rather than just someone to offer a passing “hello.”
Tables of Eight are made up of eight people, usually three couples
and two singles. We have four dinners, pot luck style, with the host
providing the meat dish. The time and date are set up by the first
couple. At the first dinner the arrangements for subsequent din-
ners and their hosts are set. Remember, these are really informal
and relaxed – nothing like “the boss is coming to dinner”.
We have been enjoying Tables of Eight for about 15 years. If you
are already in a table you don’t have to sign up again. There is no
limit to the number of tables we have.
If you have participated, but not recently, sign up again in January
or call me, Skip Light at 426-7461. If Tables of Eight is new to you
or you have never been involved, sign up or call me. It is fun, very
informal, and you will enjoy some really good food.

From the Support Committee:
Attention! The church building will be closed on January 6 and 7 for maintenance and possibly on the 8th if necessary. For safety reasons, no one will be
allowed in the building on those days. Because of the uncertainty about the building being open and a lack of
preparation time on Tuesday, Wednesday night dinner on January 8th is cancelled.
