The other day, I heard an old saying for the first time –
“Full faith means an empty church.” The implication of
the aphorism is that a church that is preaching the fullness
of the Gospel will quickly find itself without a congrega-
tion. The demands and charge of the fullness of the Chris-
tian faith are simply too much for many of us to bear for
long.
Yet, I am beginning to think that the phrase might be
heard differently. Can living the full faith of the Church
lead us to buildings that are empty not because the faithful
are frightened by the Gospel but because they are enliv-
ened by it and finding their fulfillment serving those most
in need in our communities around us?
The challenge for the Church amidst the changes taking
place all around us is not for us to attract more believers to
our buildings but to welcome those all around us deeper
into Christ-shaped living. This won’t happen through the
force of our pulpits or the power of our teaching alone but
through the simplicity of lived Christian faith. Our con-
gregants are our chief missionaries and evangelists – they
are equipped for lives of purpose that draw others to see
something of Christ.
Full faith doesn’t mean that our buildings are absent of
faithful men and women but that our buildings are the way
station for the faithful to draw strength and hope from be-
ing in Christ’s Presence so that they can go out refreshed
and renewed for the work of Christian living.
It has been this way since the very beginning. St Peter
on one level appeared to be everything that faithful Chris-
tian should not be. And yet, before it was all over, Peter
became the rock upon which the Church would be founded
and a powerful evangelist and missionary for Christ. His
life is a testimony to what God can do with a life offered to
his service.
At some point, over the course of his ministry, Jesus
goes from saying “get thee behind me” to “Feed my
Lambs.” Jesus knew Peter and knew what and who he
was called to be.
Full Faith, Empty Churches by Robert Hendrickson on December 6, 2013 from ECF Vital Posts
Convicted by the teaching and preaching of John the
Baptist, Peter’s brother Andrew tells Peter of Jesus,
“Behold the Lamb of God.” Peter’s journey is one of
faith, endurance, mistakes, mis-steps, tragedies, martyr-
dom, and reward. He takes a journey from beholding to
becoming. From beholding the Lamb of God to becoming
the Body of Christ.
Jesus knew that life with him, despite Peter’s failings,
would transform Peter and make him strong enough to
bear the Church. And he knows this of us too.
The new occupant of the throne of Peter seems to under-
stand this call to go out if the reports of his leaving the
Vatican at 1am to go out and to be with the poor and the
hungry are true. The Swiss Guard are, of course, upset
that the pope is taking such risks and yet there is the heart
of the Gospel calling us to risk so that others may see and
know.
In the Church, we are called to behold and become – to
know the living Body and to make it known. In so many
ways, despite our belief and our unbelief, we are being
welcomed into the new life of the Risen Christ.
This Body itself is not outwardly visible – it needs out-
ward signs to be known to the world. It is our willingness
to show forth in our lives what we proclaim with our lips
that shows what it means to be the Church. In a time when
fewer and fewer people will read Scripture growing up or
receive the Sacraments as part of their everyday life – it is
that much more vital that we offer some way for them to
see and know something of the simple kindness and love
of Christ.
Are we saved by being kind? No. Are we saved if we
aren’t kind? Possibly. Will we help others to see the love
of God if we aren’t kind? Probably not.
Probably not because being of the Body – truly knit to
Christ – means allowing ourselves to be more fully drawn
into a life of self-offering. A life marked by a lack of
faith, hope, or charity is probably not one that is fully of
the Body. This may be at the heart of sainthood and of
sanctification – we grow in relationship with God and as
we do so our outward lives are transformed to ever more
resemble the inward grace we are blessed with.
We are being called to a missionary life – to one that
gives of itself outside the doors of our churches. The para-
dox is that as we see our lives ever more deeply formed by
the missional imperative to go out we will find our

It is time to say goodbye to 2013. For some this is a
great thing and to others they are not ready. We look for-
ward to what is ahead with great anticipation and look
back with some sad feelings. A friend sent me a copy of
the following as we lost a mutual friend. This was pub-
lished in a local publication and I want to share it as it may
be something you may practice.
I recently lost a friend who suffered over 12 months be-
fore God called her home. Many days as we chatted on
the phone, I'd say “Susan, I wish there was something I
could do to ease your pain.” She would say, “Just pray for
me, pray Debbie.” I knew she was so ill, and I truly did
not see any way this could turn around. She needed a
transplant and a match, something that would be almost
impossible. But, I was reminded that nothing is impossi-
ble with God. I told her either way she was going to
“shine.”
Over the past year, I prayed for her, for God to heal her
body. It took me several times chatting with her to know
that there was nothing I could do for my friend that could
ever compare with prayer.
When we find ourselves saying “All I can do is pray for
you,” we are truly saying the best thing we can do for you
is pray for you. For God holds our every moment in his
hands. So the next time you tell someone that the only
thing you can do for them is to pray for them, know that
you are doing the best thing ever, for them. THE POWER
OF PRAYER.

churches even more full as the next generation of believers
is called to come and see. The Church’s challenge is to
move from an attractional model of ministry that is based
on creating programming and a more impressive show to
an incarnational one rooted in the lived Christian experi-
ence of every believer living into their identity as the
Body.
This starts at the Altar. We receive the Body so that we
might grow into its likeness. Yet the Mass is not a mo-
ment outside of time but is time most fully experienced.
In the Presence of the Holy we know our true self revealed
and exposed so that we might truly be present. It is not
simply Transubstantiation that is being effected but a sub-
stantial transformation of ourselves, our hopes, our inten-
tions, and our purpose.
Yet after offering, blessing, breaking, and sharing
comes a sending forth with strength and courage. We are
given a measure of Christ’s own self to offer it to others.
We behold and we become. The action of the Eucharist is
ongoing and manifold. Even as we are sent out it is not
because the liturgy is over but because it has just really
just begun in us. We are being called to welcome others to
gather, to hear how God’s Word is changing us, to know
brokenness, to share blessing, to be one in holiness, to be
and share peace.
Often, the liturgy is referred to as the “work of the peo-
ple” from its Greek root. Yet this means far more than that
it is the responsibility of all to take part in the liturgical life
of the parish. It means that it is our employment, our vo-
cation, and our call. It is as essential to our identity. It is
the work of the people in that it is the very infrastructure
of our life – undergirding who we are and what we do.
“Full faith, empty church” – it takes on a different
meaning when we realize that the Church is never empty.
It is always full of the Presence and potency of Christ. At
some points our buildings have fewer or more people in
them yet this is not the only measure of health. The real
question is what are our people up to when they are not in
the building? Are they living the liturgy in such a way that
the Church is not confined by walls but magnified by the
vision of Christ?
Our buildings are among our greatest assets. They are a
home for the hope-filled and hopeless alike. Yet their
greatest strength lies in their ability to feed us to go out –
to be forgiven and restored for life and beyond so that oth-
ers may see and know the Living Christ. Are we, by our
becoming, welcoming others to behold? Is our full faith
the testimony of a Church that goes out from its buildings
with courage and hope?

Join The Rev. Cindy Howard and her daughter Liz Kir-
by for the first diocesan Mother/Daughter Retreat at Beck-
with Camp and Retreat Center, February 7 - 9, 2014. The
retreat leader is The Reverend Amy Dafler Meaux. She
will guide us as we explore together as women Baptism,
the Baptismal Covenant and practical applications in our
everyday lives.
Rev. Dafler Meaux received her Masters of Divinity
from The Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas.
She has served three Episcopal Churches: Trinity Episco-
pal Church, New Orleans, Louisiana; Saint Michael and
All Angels Episcopal Church, Dallas, Texas; and now,
Trinity Episcopal Church, Danville, KY. As the Associate
for Children, Youth, and Families at Saint Michael and All
Angels, Amy worked with over 600 families as they
walked their journeys of faith together.
As a priest, Amy is passionate about the ways the Gos-
pel of Jesus Christ transforms our daily lives giving us
strength and courage to become the people God calls us to
be. She is married with three children. She’s an avid knit-
ter and reader, and is slowly learning to quilt.
The weekend will include workshops, worship, music
and small group activities. There will be time for fun on
the challenge course, opportunity for yoga, and creative
arts. We will sing by the campfire and save some time for
reflection on “the porch.”
Don't miss this opportunity to share time with wonderful
women from across the Central Gulf Coast. You do not
have to bring your mother or daughter to attend. Girls
should be 12 and older.
The cost for the retreat is $160 per adult for the week-
end double occupancy in motel rooms - 21 years and un-
der; $110 sharing double occupancy. The rate for dorms is
$82 per person (bring your own linens and towels).

More than 46 mil-
lion Americans live
in Poverty in the
USA. Americans
families were having
a difficult time mak-
ing ends meet before
the recession. With
continuing unem-
ployment and increasing costs of living, more and more
families have to choose between necessities like health
care, child care, and even food.
January is National Poverty in America Awareness
Month. It is a time to raise awareness of poverty in Amer-
ica and in our own community. The Episcopal Church
encourages us to help eradicate poverty by learning more
about its causes and practical solutions, and by participat-
ing in and supporting antipoverty programs.
Saint Monica’s has long been active in helping to ease
hunger as a supporter of Manna Food Pantries by asking
for your weekly donations of non-perishable food items.
This month we will launch our new Beans and Rice Minis-
try to address hunger right here in our neighborhood.
One of the ways the Episcopal Church addresses domes-
tic poverty is through its Jubilee network, which consists
of over 600 Jubilee Ministry Centers. These centers em-
power the poor and oppressed in their communities by
providing direct services, such as food, shelter, and
healthcare, and also by advocating for human rights.
More than 30 years ago at the Episcopal General Con-
vention meeting in New Orleans, Resolution A080 estab-
lished Jubilee Ministry as “a ministry of joint discipleship
in Christ with poor and oppressed people, wherever they
are found, to meet basic human needs and to build a just
society,” concluding that this “is at the heart of the mission
of the church.”
Since then, the General Convention has reaffirmed its
commitment to Jubilee Ministry eight times, including at
this past convention in Indianapolis in July. Resolution
D094, adopted this year, resolves that Jubilee Ministry “be
affirmed as a vital expression of the type of relational min-
istry that is being called forth from local congregations of
the church today as they seek to reconcile all people to
unity with God and each other in Christ.”

New Year’s Day may be the world’s most celebrated
public holiday, observed in different ways in different cul-
tures at the stroke of midnight. Each year on January 1,
the Episcopal Church celebrates the Feast of the Holy
Name of Jesus Christ Our Lord (sometimes called Feast of
the Holy Name), the eighth day of the Christmas season.
The feast commemorates the eighth day after Jesus’ birth,
when in Jewish tradition, infant boys are circumcised and
named. He was “called Jesus, the name given by the angel
before he was conceived in the womb” (Lk 2:21).
Under the Law of Moses, all male infants were to be
circumcised on the eighth day after birth (Lv 12:3). It was
also customary at this time for family and friends to wit-
ness the naming of the child. The designation of the feast
in honor of Jesus' Holy Name is new to the 1979 BCP. It
was traditionally celebrated as the Feast of the Circumci-
sion. Celebration of the Holy Name reflects the signifi-
cance of the Holy Name of Jesus, and the emphasis of the
Gospel of Luke on the naming of Jesus rather than his cir-
cumcision.
Liturgical celebration of Jesus’ circumcision began in
the Gallican Church. The Council of Tours (567) called
for Jan. 1 to be observed as a fast day to counter pagan
celebrations of the beginning of the new year. This day
was also traditionally associated with devotion to the Vir-
gin Mary. Celebration of the Feast of the Name of Jesus
dates from the end of the middle ages.
In the fifteenth century, the Franciscans Bernardino of
Siena (1380-1444) and Giovanni Capistrano (1386-1456)
encouraged devotion to the name of Jesus. This celebra-
tion was officially granted to the Franciscans in 1530 for
observance on Jan. 14. In 1721 Innocent XIII called for
the whole Roman Catholic Church to observe the feast on
the Second Sunday after Epiphany. This feast was intro-
New Year’s Day/Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ From The Episcopal Church
duced into England in 1489 and celebrated on Aug. 7. It
was included as a black letter day in the Elizabethan Cal-
endar of the church year in 1561.
The name “Jesus” is from the Hebrew Joshua, or Ye-
hoshuah, “Yahweh is salvation” or “Yahweh will save.”
Devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus is particularly derived
from Phil 2:9-11, which states that God highly exalted Je-
sus ‘and gave him the name that is above every name, so
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heav-
en and on earth and under the earth.” This scriptural devo-
tion is paraphrased by the hymn “At the name of Je-
sus” (Hymn 435) in The Hymnal 1982. Other hymns that
express devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus include “To
the name of our salvation” (Hymns 248-249) and “Jesus!
Name of wondrous love!” (Hymn 252).
Remember that the name of Jesus is a sign of our salva-
tion. On this day, pray that our Eternal Father plant in
every heart the love of the Savior of the world. Pray for
peace around the world in the New Year, guided by God’s
love.
A Collect for January 1: Eternal Father, you gave to
your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of
our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of
him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
When the scheduled acolyte
fell ill with a bug while
serving on Christmas Eve,
former acolyte Aaron Gaff
stepped in from the pews to
finish the service. Aaron
served as acolyte at St.
Monica’s during his teen
years. From the grin on his
face, Aaron seemed to have
enjoyed his stroll down
memory lane, as did the rest
of us. Thanks Aaron!
Six women from St. Monica’s traveled to the Festival of Nativities at St. Paul’s Daphne on December 15. Here Brennis Whaley and Brenda Ferguson read about Nativity scenes from around the world. Also on the trip were Connie Chamberlin, Phyllis Condon, Texann Stephens and Viv Welch.

HAPPY CAMPERS! Our beautiful Ebie Boykin (third from the left) is joined by her friends (left to right) Tayler Mills, Abi Manoso and their counselor Jane in their cabin at Camp Beckwith’s Winter Woods on December 27. All three girls are looking forward to returning for Summer Camp 2014 and visiting St. Monica’s again soon!
Epiphany falls on January 6 and celebrates the revela-
tion of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. We
also commemorate the visitation of the Magi to the Baby
Jesus and our own baptismal covenant by remembering
Jesus’ baptism by St. John the Baptist.
In the Episcopal Church, we are baptized in the water
and lovingly adopted by God into God’s family – the
Church. In instituting the sacrament of Baptism, Jesus
took a familiar, understandable custom and gave it a new
meaning. Baptism was to be the way we would be initiat-
ed into discipleship with him. He could have chosen some
other way; he chose Baptism.
The outward and visible parts of baptism are water and
the action of the convert being baptized. The inward and
spiritual grace of baptism is God’s promised action in for-
giving our sins and accepting us as his children, as mem-
bers of Christ’s body, and as inheritors of God’s kingdom.
At Epiphany and others times throughout the year, it is
beneficial to remind ourselves of our baptismal covenant
with God and celebrate that we have been given God’s
own life to share and nothing can separate us from God’s
love in Christ.
The Baptismal Covenant
Do you believe in God the Father?
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship,
in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?
Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall
into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News
of God in Christ?
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your
neighbor as yourself?
Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and
respect the dignity of every human being?
Epiphany & Baptismal Covenant
January 20 commemorates the
birth of the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King, Jr., and his work in
nonviolent activism in the civil
rights movement. Many faith
and secular organizations cele-
brate the life of Dr. King by ob-
serving a day of service to oth-
ers.
What are you doing for civil
rights? Is there an event in the
community where you can volunteer? Are there organi-
zations you can become involved in that work toward
equal rights or ending discrimination in our country?

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to piec-
es, I would still plant my apple tree.
Martin Luther
As our recent Steward-
ship Program reminded us,
planting seeds for future
fruit is both an act of hope
and an expression of faith.
We plant in hope that the
small seeds will one day
produce a tree whose fruit
will bless future genera-
tions. We plant in faith by
entrusting those who follow
us to nurture our tree, har-
vest the fruit properly and
use it for the best purposes.
Making a planned gift to
St. Monica’s is a similar undertaking. A planned gift is a
seed whose promised fruit will support the church well
beyond your lifetime.
Planned giving is often part of an overall estate plan to
distribute your assets and possessions to the people and
causes most dear to you. Planned gifts come in several
forms. The simplest planned gift is to make a bequest to
the church in your will. Other options, such as charitable
gift annuities through the Episcopal Church Foundation,
provide a guaranteed income for life and substantial tax
savings.
Planned gifts are funded from accumulated assets of
your lifetime. When you make a planned gift to St. Mon-
ica’s, it typically does not impact your current income. In
fact, there are several types of life-income gifts that can
actually supplement your income for the rest of your life.
Planned gifts are generally used to build an endowment
fund, which is vitally important for the long-term health of
the church. Endowment funds empower ministry beyond
what is possible through annual operating funds. They
provide future parishioners with the means to continue to
worship, learn, and serve the community and the world as
we have been blessed to do.
Planned giving is a powerful opportunity to ensure your
most sacred values and commitments are part of your lega-
cy. Your planned gift represents your hope for the future
mission of St. Monica’s and your faith in generations to
come.
If you are interested in making a planned gift to St.
Monica’s, please see a member of the vestry. For the free
booklet, Making a Planned Gift, please contact the Episco-
pal Church Foundation at 800-697-2858 or
