Time Keeps on Slipping into the Future
The early Roman calendar designated March 1 as the New Year and the calendar had
just ten months, beginning with March; the time between December (decem Latin for
―ten‖) and March was just called ―winter‖. Around 700 B.C.E. January and February
were added. January was named for Janus, the most an-
cient of the Roman Gods, who became known as the God
of Gates and Doors, of Beginnings and Endings, and was
represented with a double-faced head, each looking in op-
posite directions. In 153 B.C.E. the New Year was moved to January 1 to
match the term of office for the newly elected Roman consuls (they had politics
even then).
And so now we celebrate the New Year here in January. We change our calendars, we write the wrong year on
our checks for a month, and make resolutions. We reflect on the past year and wonder about the New Year.
Looking back we‘ve had a lot of change at Stone. The Reverend Dennis Dewey retired at the end of June and
I assumed all the pastoral responsibilities as a part-time lay pastor (in Presbyterian parlance a ―Commissioned
Ruling Elder‖—it‘s a long story). Since then I‘ve conducted two funerals and two baptisms, have done com-
munion with our homebound, and continue to work with our area ministers (the ―Clinton Area Ministerium‖)
on ecumenical activities. We started a Sunday school class again along with a ―Conversation with Children‖
during our worship service. We‘ve stepped up our social media a bit (find us on FaceBook!) and continue to
explore ways to reach out to the world.
And we have lot going on as we look forward. January is a busy month for us. We have lunches after worship
most every Sunday in January with different activities (see more details elsewhere in the newsletter). Among
other things we‘ll see a local film about religion and worship in our area. We‘ll review how we‘re doing with
our plans from our church leadership retreat we had in October. We‘ll have our annual congregational meet-
ing on January 24 when we will hear about the past year and elect elders and deacons for the future.
And we have a busy liturgical (worship) month. At the beginning of the month we continue the twelve days of
Christmas until Epiphany on January 6, celebrating the arrival of the Magi to the Christ child (probably a cou-
ple of years after his birth). A week later we commemorate the (adult) Baptism of Jesus. Then we have a few
weeks of Ordinary (―ordered‖) Time until Lent starts in February.
So much to do and it seems not enough time to do it. Time keeps on slipping into the future. Fortunately, we
know the Spirit is with us in that future until that time when we are all together in one spirit in the kingdom of
God.
Shalom,

Mission January 2016 - Lunch and Learning
January will bring a change of pace to our Mission activities. Rather than asking your mainly monetary support for local,
national and international causes, January will not involve any financial obligations. Instead, it is hoped that you will
spend an hour or so after church enjoying lunch and participating in some study and conversation.
January 3 and 10 we will be watching In God’s House, Clintonian Rob Knight‘s documentary about religion in Utica.
This fascinating work highlights both the diversity of worship opportunities and the changed cultural mix of the city of
Utica. Additionally, for many of us, these pictures will be a chance to see just how the streets and buildings of the city
are being altered. On January 10, in addition to finishing our viewing of In God’s House, Mr. Knight will be joining us
to offer his unique perspective regarding God‘s presence in Utica and to answer any questions we might have.
On January 17 our luncheon theme will again be change. But this time, the changes we will examine will be those at
Stone Church. We will talk about the changes proposed during our October 2015 retreat and the progress (or lack of
progress) that has occurred as we have moved forward towards implementing these plans.
The final luncheon in this series will be on January 24, the date of our Annual meeting. Our luncheon will be a finale to
2015 and the first of many programs that will make up our 2016 worship year at Stone Church.
I sincerely hope you will plan to join us for this January 2016 lunch and learning series. The opportunity to both enjoy
time with each other and unique perspectives on God in our community should be a great treat for everyone.

Annual Congregational Meeting - January 24
The Annual Meeting of the Congregation of Stone Presbyterian Church will be held during worship on Sunday,
January 24, 2016 in the sanctuary for the purposes of receiving reports, electing officers, concurring in the Ses-
sion‘s 2016 budget, voting on a change in the by-laws regarding the number of people required on session and the
board of deacons, and acting on any other business that may be properly brought before the congregation. All ac-
tive members in good standing are welcome and encouraged to vote.
Wanted: Your Per Capita!
Please note that per capita payments for 2016 are now
being readily accepted!!! Our per capita charge this
year is $37 per member (same as last year). The church
is assessed this amount for each member on the mem-
bership roll. The per capita is the cost of our represen-
tative democracy as a church and supports the meetings
and operations of the Presbytery, Synod and General
Assembly. Please consider sending your per capita ei-
ther directly to the church office (P.O. Box 33, Clinton,
NY 13323) or enclosing it in your pledge envelope.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Early Pledges Wanted
Because of heating bills, cash flow is
more of a problem for our church in the
winter months (January through April)
than summer months, even during a rela-
tively warm winter. Session is asking
folks to consider giving more of their
pledge upfront, if possible.
We will, of course, keep good track of
what you have paid towards your pledge.
Questions? See Peter Massi.
Country Pantry needs your help
Thanks to your generosity, The Country Pantry was
able to give each family new towels this year. Also, the
Clinton Shoe Center had given Donna Goodfriend 12
pairs of children boots which also went to The Pantry.
For the month of January we will collect soup, espe-
cially those with meat. In February we will collect
cans of fruit.
Once again, thank you for
supporting our needy
neighbors.

Historical Period Revisited—A Glimpse into Stone Church‘s Past
The Hastings Family
In November‘s issue you learned about Thomas Hastings and his contribution to church music. But what about his par-
ents Dr. Seth and Eunice Hastings, his siblings and their contributions to the community? We appreciate the information
that Dr. Lee Hastings Bristol shared with the historical society on October 3, 1974 about his Clinton ancestors. Dr. Bris-
tol came to Stone Church‘s 100th year celebration in February of 1978 and also presided at the plaque ceremony for Tho-
mas Hastings in May of 1978.
According to family records the Hastings family arrived in Clinton during the winter of 1797 where cultivated fields
were partially cleared of logs and trees and the neighboring houses were hidden by denser forests. The family described
the district school as sort of a lumber box and the unfinished meeting-house like an open barn. The school was used for
worship until the meeting-house was enclosed.
Dr. Hastings Sr. and Eunice had 11 children, three of whom were born after
moving here. One daughter died in infancy and one in early childhood. Dr.
Hastings and his gentle, patient wife trained their children to fill useful posi-
tions in life. The oldest child, Seth Hastings Jr. (1780-1861) practiced medi-
cine with his father and was Clinton‘s leading doctor for nearly half a century.
―…As the church choir leader until laid aside in l851 by illness, he conducted
singing on Communion Sabbaths and at all social gatherings. His home was a
home of generous hospitality where music was a leading part of the entertain-
ment….it has been said that one ‗could seldom pass the old brick mansion
(now the Hayes Natl. Bank, or NBT) without hearing either vocal or instru-
mental music, or both.‖ Seth Jr.‘s son John, along with Professor Root,
founded the Rural Art Society. Another child Eurotus Hastings married Grover
Cleveland‘s niece and became a missionary in Ceylon and a third son George
Hastings became a District Attorney, a member of Congress, and a judge.
Dr. Hastings Sr.‘s daughter Betsey (1782-1876) married Dr. Elnathan Judd. Her eldest son Dr. Gerrit Parmele Judd prac-
ticed medicine in the Hawaiian Islands as a missionary. Later, he became Hawaii‘s Secretary of State and Minister of
Finance.
As stated before in the November newsletter, Dr. Hastings Sr.‘s son Thomas devoted his life to teaching and writing
church music. Seth Sr.‘s other sons Euortus became a banker; Charles a publisher and book seller; Truman and Orlando
were lawyers; Albert a postmaster; and daughter Eunice also became a physician in the community.
As a family, they were devout churchgoers. Dr. Seth Hastings, Sr. in his gratefulness to God drew up a Family Covenant,
which many of the family later joined him in signing. It read (in part): ―In view of the past goodness of God to me and
my family, and in the firm belief that a covenant-keeping God will abundantly bless those families that call on His name,
I would recommend to my children to set apart some portion of the first Sabbath evening of every month, between the
hours of eight and eleven o‘clock, for a season of special prayer to the Father of mercies for the influences of His blessed
spirit on me and on themselves…and that each head of a family shall keep it ever in charge…so that the fear of the Lord
may remain with them forever….‖
Besides the importance of their faith, the Hastings family‘s love of music took priority in their family gatherings‘ enter-
tainment.

Fair Trade Shoppe Update
Our shop has had another incredible year with sales since January 1, 2015, totaling $30,862,26. This is beyond our wild-
est dreams of a few years ago, and confirms our belief that God continues to bless this enterprise and has a purpose for
Stone Presbyterian Church to continue in its current location.
Most of our profits this year have gone right back into purchasing more items, but we also hired Jesse Miller to renovate
half of our storage space and also the former Scout office. This back room can now be used as a dressing room for cus-
tomers to try on clothing. We still have the middle storage room to renovate, and will do that soon. This fall, we began
making monthly contributions of $500 to the church to help with the cost of utilities. Also, in the planning stages, is the
purchase of display items so that we can make better use of the shop space.
As I read the year-end greetings from our various suppliers, I am struck by how important this work is. The companies
we work with do far more than sell products to us. UPAVIM, for example, runs a Montessori Day Care Program in
which students are learning to read and do basic addition before graduating to kindergarten. They also have a school for
children K-6th and a library. Four years ago, BeadforLife began the Street Business School, which gives entrepreneurial
training and mentoring to impoverished women. Not only does this program now serve more woman than does the Bead
jewelry program, they have begun sharing their model with non-profits worldwide. It is humbling to realize how God is
using us to make such a difference in the world for so many people.
Our shop is open every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and also the second Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. We offer gift certificates, accept credit cards and are handicapped accessible. For more information, call 315-853-
2933, visit our website at http://www.stonepres.org/ or like us on Facebook.

Please keep the Deacons in mind on the first Sunday of
each month. All of the loose money collected on those
Sundays goes to support the ministry of the Deacons.
Missing!

THINKING OF MY MOTHER
I know by the time you are reading this, Advent and Christmas will be over with and the New Year will have
started. But, for me right now, it is the middle of December and I have to submit an article for the January newsletter
in the upcoming week. As I was pondering what to write about my eyes glanced at 3 small books I have on my cof-
fee table. They were Christmas books that were given to my mother by friends. My mother always had them on her
coffee table during the Holiday Season and reread them every year. After my mother passed away, I took the books
and put them out every Christmas also. But, sadly…I don‘t read them every year!!! So, that‘s what I did the past couple
of days. Oh, mother…how I wish you were here so we could share these tiny little treasures together!!!
The first one is ―A Cup Of Christmas Tea‖ by Tom Hegg. This heartwarming poem brings the meaning of Christmas
joyfully to life. A man goes to visit his ailing Great Aunt and while there, peace and love and a wonderful Christmas
spirit surround the two of them over a cup of Christmas tea.
The second book is ―The Christmas Box‖ by Richard Paul Evans. This book was never intended to be published…it was
just written as an expression of love for his two daughters. This little treasure will cause you to rejoice in the blessings of
the season. Evans reminds the reader that the only way we can really love one another is by accepting the greatest gift of
all ever given…that of a father who ―so loved His children that He sent His son that we might someday return to Him.‖
You will need to wipe away tears when it is revealed what is in the Christmas Box.
The third book is ―A Special Christmas Blessing…Just For You‖ by Douglas Pegals. The best gifts aren‘t the kind that
are tied up in ribbons and bows…they are those that are wrapped up in hope and joy. The most precious gifts are all the
blessings we wish for the special people in our lives. I wish all of you a year that holds so many wonderful and unex-
pected blessings. The above author had a wonderful message in his book called:
THOUGHTS ABOUT THE NEW YEAR & NEW BEGINNINGS
―I know you might be wondering what will happen in the next chapter of your life.
If there are any changes to deal with in the year ahead, there‘s no better advice than this: Just do your best! Make sure
you stay strong enough to move ahead because there are some wonderful rewards waiting for you……
It won‘t make sense right away, but I promise you: over the course of time, answers will come, decisions will prove
to be the right ones, and the path will be easier to see. Here are some things you can do that will help to see you
through……
You can have hope….because it works wonders for those who have it. You can be optimistic because people who
expect things to turn out for the best often set the stage to receive a beautiful result. You can put things in perspective
because some things are important and others are definitely not. You can remember that beyond the clouds the sun is
still shining. You can meet each challenge and give it all you‘ve got. You can count your blessings. You can be
inspired to climb your ladders and have some nice long talks with your wishing stars. You can be strong and patient.
You can be gentle and wise.
And…..you can believe in happy endings…..because YOU are the author of the story of your life!!!!‖
Happy 2016 to all of you………Love and peace from me……and my mom.

Best wishes, Bev!
When can I use the labyrinth?
The labyrinth is
available in the
Stone Church
sanctuary for those
who would like to
use it for prayer
and meditation.
The church is open Monday through Friday 8:45 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m. In addition, the church is open Thursdays
while the Fair Trade Shoppe is open until 6:30 p.m.
Using the Hearing Assistance Devices
Unfortunately, some of us sometimes have some diffi-
culty in hearing the wonderful sermons that are pre-
sented each week either by our Pastor Scott Leonard or
whoever the guest preacher may be.
For those of you who are not aware, the Church has
available some small pieces of equipment that are de-
signed to amplify the sound and aid you with this an-
noying problem. They are called hearing assistance
devices and they are located on the table at the back of
the Church in a small box. There are four of them and
they have been recently outfitted with new batteries and
checked to make sure they are in proper working order.
They are relatively easy to use and if you would like to
try one, please help yourself.
If you would like some assistance, please just ask John
Menard or Scott Leonard and they would be more than
happy to show you the ropes. People have commented
that these items have made a big difference for them in
enjoying Sunday morning.
