One of the main focal points of the Sanctuary renovation this past Summer was to
make certain the wonderful stained glass windows in the Chancel area would be very
noticeable as one walked into the Sanctuary. As the Long Range Planning Committee
worked toward this end during the planning stages, no thought was ever given to the
appearance of the windows at night time, until later on when attending a night service
after the renovation was completed. It was at this point it was realized that without
any daylight, the windows did not show up at all.
Due to Al DeGayner furnishing material and his own man power, there are now three exterior high
wattage spot lights installed on posts directed at each of the windows. This now allows the
windows to radiate all of their splendor on overcast days or at night when services or other
activities are held.
Unfortunately the power surge in January that wrecked havoc on the church also damaged the
power source to the new lights. It was not discovered in time to repair before the Ash Wednesday
worship service … but it has now, so please take a moment to notice, enjoy and appreciate the
backlit stained glass windows while attending this month’s Maundy
Thursday and Good Friday Worship services ….
… and join us in saying “Thanks Al for all you do!”

An Announcement from the ProgrAm committee ….
NEWS FROM THE
7
By Veronika Camehl
Many exciting things will be happening during the month of March. Please plan to attend our Lenten services and make this a time of commitment and sacrifice to our risen Lord. Many Thanks to our February Worship Team:
Communion was prepared in February by Veronika Camehl
Communion Servers were elders Janet Gaskamp and Dayne Luce (8:30 Early Service) and Kelly McNeely and Jad Smith (11:00 Morning Service)
Communion wine was supplied by Sally Reynolds.
Head usher duties were shared by Janet Gaskamp and Nancy Bolks.......good job ladies.
Ed and Lucille Rainwater will serve as head ushers for the month of March. Once again we are blessed to have Jeff Patterson and his lovely wife, Georgia, back with us. The relief that he gives to our very dedicated music director Yvonne goes above and beyond the call of duty. If you missed the Ash Wednesday worshp service, his keyboard talents left many speechless. Where did you have all those guitar players hiding Jeff? Speaking of music, Yvonne and her dedicated choir members are practicing very hard to make “a joyful noise unto the Lord”....maybe you would consider lending your musical talents. We hear some wonderful voices out there in the congregation on Sunday mornings....think how great they might sound from up in the choir loft with our super sound system. And remember, the hand bell choir only requires you to be able to count to 4 and if you decide to color code your music, remember which color applies to which bell. The worship committee welcomes your input...we strive to make all aspects of worship meaningful and relevant. If something is not being done that you think we need to do, please let us know. If there are problems, please be a part of the solution and contact one of the committee members. They are Lois Atwood, Veronika Camehl, Mindy Durham, Holly Hamilton, Caro Jackson, Yvonne Jaggard, Jad Smith, Kim Thompson, and Charlie Schuler

The Presbyterian Men’s group resumed their monthly meetings for lunch on the first
Tuesday of each month at 12:00 in the Church café. The meeting is open to any man
that attends our Church- you don’t have to be a member. So try to be there on Tuesday, March
5th and enjoy lunch (Really good food) and camaraderie followed by a short business meeting. We
are always finished in an hour or less. Come, enjoy, and make new friends. Our winter visitors are
especially welcome since we always are open to new ideas.
We will discuss what we plan to accomplish in 2013, kickoff ideas for our
participation in the 12th annual Rockport Nautical Flea Market (our major fund

Ministering to others through
Care and Prayer
To uy thoughtful, caring church family,,.
Darline Yeoman presented me with the beautiful Prayer Quilt with the many
prayer knots tied for me. I feel so grateful and honored to be a part of this
church and the kind and caring family you all are. I will cherish it always,
through recovery and beyond. Blessings to you all! Shirely Lthams
January 6: The family of Linda Dupnik acknowledges with grateful appreciation the kind expression
of your sympathy. Dear Pastor Schuler, Congregation and Caroline Bernardy, On behalf of
my family and James and John Dupnik, I would like to thank you for all the prayers sent, the
prayer comforter and the pastor visiting my mother during her time of need. She will be truly
missed! Thanks, Laura Denham
January 9, Dear Church Family,
I am still in Odessa with Laurie. Taking therapy and am trying to regain my strength and
balance. I miss all of you and will be glad to return to Rockport and to Church. Congrats,
Beverly, on your new grandson. Handsome Boy. Give my love to all, Berta Little
January 4, Beverly, Thank you so much for blessing us with the prayer quilt. We are very touched
by the thoughtfulness of your congregation. I told my Uncle Jad and Aunt Theresa that I am
very comforted by the knowledge that faithful men and women I’ve never met are holding up
sweet baby Kate in prayer regarding her upcoming cranial surgery on January 17. We will be
sure to let you know hot it all goes. Much Love and gratitude,
Kelley, Brian, Riley & Kate Gray

Ministering to … others in the Community
GOOD NEWS! The Youth Group of First Presbyterian Church,
Rockport participated in the National Souper Bowl of Caring on super
bowl Sunday. Because of our support for their efforts, $335 was
donated to Rockport/Fulton Good Samaritans.
During January and February, Rockport/Fulton Good Samaritans
continued serving our community. The arrival of cold weather found
clients needing funds for heaters, blankets and warmer clothes. In
addition, more food was required to help keep some Rockport residents warm until the sun retured.
The drop in outside temperatures increased utility bills. Requests for assistance in paying those bills
put pressure on the GS budget. More assistance was required to help with costs of medical care and
drug prescriptions to combat illness as several nasty viruses ran rampant through our community.
The food pantry is busy recovering from drains in supplies used in
distribution of Christmas baskets in December. First Presbyterian Church’s
donation of $335 will be put to good use!
Now that holiday travelers have returned home to Rockport and holiday
guests have returned to their homes, the time has come to return to our
normal concentration on and donations to support local missions including
Good Samaritans.
The first Sunday of each month is designated the day for collecting
donations for use in supplying supplemental food to needy local families. Good Samaritans are
extremely grateful for our congregation’s most generous donations that provide non-perishable foods
and money for purchasing additional foods from the Corpus Christie food bank and locally that enable
restocking the GS food pantry.
PLEASE CONTINUE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS MISSION PROJECT. Your non-perishable food items
can be placed in the baskets in the Good Samaritans section in the Mission Room the first or any
Sunday. Your monetary donation can be inserted in the envelopes provided and placed in the collection
plate or handed in at the church office any day of the week.

THE COMMUNITY TABLE
The March schedule for food preparation & serving is as follows:
Mar. 5 First Presbyterian Church Mar. 12 Holy Cross Lutheran Church
Mar. 19 First United Methodist Church
Mar. 26 First Baptist Church
March 5th is our Church’s serving date. Please put it on your personal calendar because we will need a lot
of volunteers to handle the numbers of diners who have been attending (approximately 250-300). Please
come and see what a difference we are making in the lives of our less fortunate neighbors.
Big News- The Peace Lutheran Church has been able to rejoin the Community Table as a full time
participant again and served an excellent meal on February 19th. However, we still have issues filling
some of the unfilled Tuesdays. Our sister churches in Rockport are stepping up to the challenge by
volunteering to serve on some of the open dates, but we are still in dire need of one more church /
agency to become full Community Table partners to permanently resolve the problem. I am counting of
you and your connections with other churches or service organizations to spread the word that we need
help. I will welcome an opportunity to speak to any interested party.
During the months of January and February, 2013, we served approximately 280
people per Tuesday and we have had plenty of help with serving. Thank you all for
your assistance and don’t use this information to stop helping . A special thanks to
our Winter Visitors who show up to help no matter which church is serving. The
smaller churches are grateful for your help.
Our Community Table funding had a major boost because of the generous donations
which many of you gave over the holiday season. This is truly a wonderful church
filled with caring and kind people. I’m proud to be a member, aren’t you?

Odds and Ends…..
GardenTales… As I walked past the little garden going wild in front of the church, I realized that we had just let it go its own way without a little TLC over the winter. While I am aware that technically we are still in the winter season, Rockport has not gotten the memo and things are begin-ning to bud out all over! So in the next few weeks, we will remove the weeds and freshen up the mulch and give it a new face to welcome us each time we walk by. Isn’t that like our own lives? We fall into seasons of ne-glect for those things that are on the fringes of our lives….important, but not essential. We get caught up in areas that take our time and energy away from the things that we love and provide joy in our lives. So join me in doing a little weeding and freshening up, not only of the garden but also of your heart. Look at yourself as I am doing and refresh your spirit. Take time to think about what God really wants you to be doing and choose whatever tools you think you might need to enter a new season in your life. Like the sun breaks through the clouds, let your light shine forth for Him and feel the tangled vines of our daily life fall away from your heart. Greet this new season of spring with faith and knowledge that God walks with you even when the weeds try to trip you up! And by the way, we are hoping to freshen up the plants around the church in other areas. Let us know if you would like to “dig in” and if you see Mike…thank him for all that he is doing outside!
