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?

HBPres has started a St.
Matthews Winter Farmers’
Market. We are extending
the Beargrass Christian
Church tradition of hosting
the farmers’ market right
here at HBPres. The
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.
If you have any questions,
speak with Larry
Brandenburg and/or Doug
Earley.

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.

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.

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

Literary Corner
Bookanalia
Will not meet during the month of
December. In January, Molly Pollock and

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

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.

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.

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
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
