Happy New Year! Can you believe
we are beginning the 2014 year? I
truly hope this coming year is an
encouraging and blessed one for
you and your family.
With the conclusion of 2013 my
primary focus was to take a brisk
walk through a brief history of
hymnody. As I studied and
reflected upon the deep riches of
the many hymns and songs that
many of us have sung throughout
our lives I realized how little I
know about some significant men
and women throughout Church
history. This year, as we start with
new beginnings, I would like to
invite you to walk with me on a
journey through history as we read
about the lives of some fascinating
men and women.
This is a daunting task since there
are so many amazing people and
only 12 months in a year! To help
narrow the field a bit I am planning
to cover people with a tie (holiday
or significant event) with each
month of the year.
This month I want to share with
you about St. Basil’s Day. No, this
is not the day when we put extra
basil on our food. This day is
celebrated on different days
depending on the branch of
Christianity. St. Basil’s Day
commemorates an early church fa-
ther who lived and served in the 4th
C. Some Christian traditions do
not celebrate St. Nicholas’ Day
(which is where we get the cultural
image of Santa Claus) but instead
and chose to give away his
wealth to the needy. He saw
this as following in Jesus’
footsteps.
There is much more that could
be said about Basil but I hope
that you get an encouraging
picture of a man who sought to
be humble in the face of
adversity because of his faith in
the Lord. We need these
pictures to encourage and direct
us towards how we can love
and serve each other in our
community. Well, until next
month, here is a quote
attributed to Basil, “God who
created us has granted us the
faculty of speech that we might
disclose the counsels of our
hearts to one another and that,
since we possess our human
nature in common, each of us
might share his thoughts with
his neighbor, bringing them
forth from the secret recesses of
the heart as from a treasury.” I
hope you find this ability to
share your story and find this
kind of connection within our
community here at Friendship
Village Chesterfield.

choose St. Basil’s Day to
exchange presents.
Basil was born around 329AD
and is considered one of the
Cappadocian Fathers. These three
men were the major theological
leadership in the region of
Cappadocia, or modern-day
Turkey. They are very important
for the development of Christian
theology. In the years after the
Counsel of Nicaea – which
established the Nicene Counsel,
Basil was one of the major
proponents in ending heresies that
kept trying to deny Jesus’ divinity
– specifically a group called the
Arians. He would not
compromise his convictions as a
bishop and follower of Jesus,
even when it meant confronting
the Emperor (Valens). Basil stood
his ground on God’s Word but
sought peace in everything else.
While his stand against heresy
may be what he is most known
for Basil was also a very pious
and generous man. He lived in the
pre-monastic days and yet often
saw the joys of living a simple,
communal life. His writings were
heavily influential on Christian
monasticism.
Additionally if you ever walk into
a cathedral or church building that
has many paintings on the walls,
tradition states that this form of
decoration began with Basil.
Probably least known about Basil
was his care for the poor. He was
born into a very wealthy family
For this
month’s
issue, the
Village
Voice has
decided to
turn the
tables and
spotlight the
woman
behind all the wonderful articles
we read each month.
Since 2005, Esther has
interviewed 316 new residents
and written 316 articles for the
Village Voice. Esther makes the
interviewing process look easy.
She puts her interviewee at ease
by bringing the new resident a
“Welcome Bag” as a gift. She
would like to thank her daughter,
Ann Kallemeier, for driving her
to purchase these bags and their
contents. Esther has truly blessed
this community with her gift of
word and hospitality. Esther
retired from this very important
position this Winter 2013.
Many of you know Esther as she
is very involved at Friendship
Village Chesterfield, but here is a
behind the scenes look at this
very accomplished woman:
Reprinted from the July 2005
issue of the Village Voice.
When Esther moved into
Friendship Village in March of
2005, little did we realize what a
dynamic lady she was. Esther was
born in Kansas City and raised in
Quincy, Illinois. In 1942 she
received a scholarship to GEM
26
City Business College and in 1942-
1945 attended the University of
Illinois and later, attended the
American Institute of Banking in
1967-68.
Her list of credentials is
outstanding. In the spring of 1955
after being a homemaker and
community volunteer she served as
journalist for the St. Ann News. In
1957, she began serving as editor of
Arcade Publication Inc. of
Overland, MO., later becoming
Editor of the St. Louis County Star,
Donnelly Publications, Inc., of
Overland. In January of 1967 her
new role was that of Customer
Relations Officer at the Bank of St.
Ann on St. Charles Rock Road. In
April of 1968 she was named
General Manager of Donnelly
Publications, Inc. and effectively
began a new weekly publication,
the Creve Coeur Citizen. She later
became the Advertising/Public
Relations Director for Home
Federal Savings & Loan in
Overland, MO, for several years.
Esther was Vice Chairman, Board
of Managers of the Northwest
YMCA, and in 1974 she became
Community Chamber of
Commerce President. She was also
the first woman to be elected to the
board of elders and member of the
Diaconate at Overland Presbyterian
Church.
Other acclaims she received were: “Woman in Finance and Industry”
“Woman in Communication”
“Who’s Who of American Women”
“2,000 Women in Communication”
“Women in Business & Industry” “Who’s Who in the Midwest”
Some of the offices Esther held
included president of the six-
member executive board of Lake
Sherwood Estates and Northwest
Business and Professional Women.
She served three times as president
of Beta Sigma Phi—XI Gamma
Epsilon Chapter.
In addition to her vast business ac-
claims, she received recognition
from the Pattonville School District
for her volunteer work in public
education.
Esther was married to Clyde R.
Phillips for 58 years. They raised
five children– all honor graduates
from Pattonville High School; three
were honor graduates from colleges
or universities.
At Friendship Village, she enjoys
playing bridge, her morning
exercise as well as attending the
Monday Morning Coffee Hour.
…
Thank you, Esther
Phillips, for your
tremendous job as
Resident Reporter!
You are a true gem to
the FVC community.

Friendship Village Chesterfield Senior Food Drive Update
The generosity of our villagers provided a great donation of food for the hungry for the
month of November. There were 356 cans of food and personal items, $511 in monetary gifts
with a total value of $1156. This was enough to feed and care for 680 persons for one day.
Again the monetary gifts were used to purchase liquid protein and other essentials.
Although the Holiday season is over, the hungry still need to be fed. Please continue to show
your love and concern by providing for St. Louis Seniors in need. The next collection will be
held on Monday, January 6th at 9:00 am. Checks should be made out to “Operation Food
Search” and turned in at the front desk or given to Chaplain Jake Bennett.
Thank you all for your continued support.
Looking for someone who knows Microsoft Excel:
There is a one-time event in 2014 that could use your help. Please contact Bob
