The band is finally back together! It’s been a summer of transitions with Brice’s three-month sabbatical, my twomonth absence for paternity leave and General Assembly, and Craig’s well deserved summer vacation. Your worship leadership is reenergized for this wonderful ministry we are privileged to be engaged in. I hope you’ll read about Brice’s sabbatical adventures on the next few pages. It was a time full of learning, making new connections and strengthening old ones. As for me, in the midst of paternity leave, I served as a Commissioner to the 225th General Assembly of the PC(USA). I was one of four commissioners from our presbytery (Peace River). We gathered with representatives of other presbyteries from around the country to do the work of our denomination. We elected the Rev. Ruth Santana Grace & the Rev. Shavon Starling Louis to serve as Co Moderators and they did an excellent job leading us through a myriad of motions and resolutions. We did more mundane work around budgets and per capita, but also continued a long standing tradition of weighing in on social issues, including: environmental justice and divestment from fossil fuel companies, gun violence, immigration, Israel/Palestine relations as well as race and gender justice. It was an honor to serve the greater church in this way and I look forward to sharing more about it in the months ahead. As for things closer to home, we are getting back into the swing of our routine. A new school year has begun and the preschool is up and running smoothly. On a quick personal note, Mary (pictured) has started daycare and we look forward to the day when she will be old enough to attend First Presbyterian Preschool! Youth group will also begin meeting regularly after giving our
middle and high schoolers time to settle in to the rhythm of school. Committee meetings are beginning to start up as well after our usual summer hiatus and there is much work to do. Thank you to all who give of their time and talents to the work of this congregation. There are lots of exciting things in store for us the rest of the year and we hope you’re as excited about it as we Peace,are!

FROM THE PULPIT
Debbie Savage, Director of Finance
We welcomed the new Director of Finance, Debbie Savage, at the end of May. Set forth below is the year to date (YTD) income statement comparison through July 31, 2022. Going forward, you can expect to see the traditional quarterly financials in the Outreach. We have added a column for the YTD Budget, since it is helpful to see where we stand in comparison to our expectations in addition to where we stand in comparison to previous years. Our income is up YTD over the last two years, despite being a bit lower than budget. Also, we have kept expenses under budget and continue to monitor all expenditures closely. We are pleased to report that the Generosity Campaign for 2022 was a success! We have received a total of 269 pledges, totaling $1.446M. As you can see from the financial report below, this was a significant increase over the last two years. We are optimistic that contributions will increase as we move through the year, and as our congregation fulfills their pledges. FPCN has a very high pledge fulfillment rate historically, and we have every reason to believe this will continue to be true. Thank you to all of you for your generous support of FPCN and its mission, where we are in the heart of Naples with the love of God: worshiping, loving, growing, serving.

the American Guild of Organists has a national convention held in a major city in the United States. This year the convention was in Seattle and since I had not been to Seattle, I thought it would be a good year to attend. It was a week of lectures, concerts, hymn festivals and worship services held in churches across the Seattle/ Tacoma area. Some of the very best concert artists played recitals and I was excited to hear so many different instruments. In addition, the Catholic Cathedral (St. James) and the Episcopal Cathedral (St. Mark’s) presented two wonderful worship services with their choir and clergy that were outstanding. Each service was followed by an amazing organ concert. It was an inspiring week of great music and I was so glad I was able to be there. At the end of the convention, Michele flew to Seattle and we rented a car for our two week drive south on the Pacific Coast Highway. This really was a trip of a lifetime and something we had both always wanted to do. We drove from Seattle to San Diego about 2400 miles mostly along the coast but we did take one trip to Crater Lake in Oregon, an amazing crater caused by a volcano that erupted and left a crater that is now a lake fed only by rain water and snow run off. We I had heard about the conference by my colleagues for years and I decided that this was the year to attend.

I have just returned from my threesabbaticalmonthand I am most grateful to you all for granting me the time away to rest, study and recharge. I travelled all over the United States this summer attending conferences as well as reconnecting with old friends and taking a long driving trip with Michele. I began the sabbatical with a trip to San Diego to see my mother. Colin went with me and we spent a week helping her with small jobs around her house and we were there in time to celebrate her 90th Ibirthday!thentook a short weekend trip to see a close friend of mine who was the best man at our wedding. He and his family live in Minneapolis and I hadn’t seen him in at least ten years. He is the organist and choir director at a Congregational Church and we had fun playing duets for the Sunday service. Shortly after that I attended the Worship and Music Conference at Montreat, North Carolina (near Asheville). It is a conference put on by the Presbyterian Association of Musicians. I had heard about the conference by my colleagues for years and I decided that this was the year to attend. I signed up to sing in the Adult Choir and play bells in the advanced handbell choir. There were daily rehearsals as well as daily worship services and each evening there was a concert. The leaders were all excellent and it was a fantastic experience. They also offered “reading sessions” where new music was presented for handbells, children and youth choirs as well as adult choir. It was fantastic to hear new music and get good ideas to take back to Naples! On the final evening, each group presented a few pieces in a concert. It was a fantastic week and an amazing experience and I hope to go to another conference in the Everyfuture!twoyears

saw so many incredible sights along the way but one of the highlights for me was seeing the redwood forests in Northern California and driving along the “Avenue of the Giants”. We stopped at one spot along the drive and had lunch among the great trees there were no other people around and it was so peaceful! We both loved the rocky coastline in Oregon and Northern California and we took many pictures trying to get that perfect shot of the waves crashing against the rocks. We also stopped in several cities including Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

My final trip was to see another of my oldest friends, Peter Seidenberg and his family in New York. Peter is a cellist and has played on our concert series several times but I had never been to see him in New York. We had a wonderful time, including going to the top of the Empire State Building! We were roommates our freshman year at the Eastman School of Music and have been good friends ever since – now going on 40 years! I am so appreciative of the time away to study, to travel and to relax. Thank you all so much for allowing me to take this sabbatical. I feel rested and ready for another year of great worship services and music making! Season of Music

Deacons6 David Witman, Deacon Moderator, dpwitman@hotmail.com
Rev. Rex Childs, Associate Pastor, rexc@fpcnaples.org
Being a Deacon is a very personal commitment which is performed in as many different ways as there are Deacons. A Deacon’s relationship with parishioners is highly individualized and can be by phone, by email or mail. Meeting with parishioners in person is not required but may occur in special circumstances at the Deacon’s discretion. Because being a Deacon is a volunteer activity, a Deacon can spend as much time as she/he thinks appropriate on the duties of being a Deacon. This is a great time of year to restate what a Deacon does because the Church’s Nominating Committee is beginning its search for a new group of members to become Deacons to start in January 2023. Deacons serve three year terms and may not serve more than two consecutive Ifterms.youare a person who believes in living Jesus’ commandment to love one another as He loves us, then being a Deacon will provide you with another opportunity to do just that. To learn more about becoming a Deacon, or to express an interest in sharing our mission of JOY, please contact David Witman at 239.285.4661 or dpwitman@hotmail.com. I assure you that this exercise of your faith will enhance your life. Please pray on whether or not you will become a part of this amazing group.
There are about a dozen Deacon committees which perform routine services, some in plain view and some in the background. Each Deacon serves on an average of two Deacon committees. These committees do work such as preparing communion trays, helping to serve communion, collecting friendship pads, conducting church tours, taking altar flowers to hospitalized parishioners and those parishioners over 85 on their birthdays, securing greeters for each service, helping ushers as needed, administering a Deacons Fund for three selected local charities, arranging transportation and other services for parishioners who need temporary help with day to day needs, conducting three blood drives each year, offering receptions for memorial services and several other services such as Deacons’ Sunday and assisting with the Blue Christmas service each year.
What do Deacons do?
While it is hard to believe, we are approaching the final quarter of yet another year. The current group of thirty-one Deacons has served the church well. But just exactly what do Deacons do? Here is a very brief summary of Deacon duties. Each Deacon is assigned a parish and acts as a liaison between parishioners and the Church answering questions when asked, communicating parishioners’ concerns to the Church and just keeping in touch with parishioners. The Deacons meet as a group generally on the fourth Thursday evening of each month except in the summer.
Sunday, September 11 Following the worship service
join us in Spencer Hall for some refreshments and to meet your deacon and other members in your parish.
Below please find excerpts from an article written by Sheri Samotin outlining a sensible, general approach for one to think about when caring for aging parents. If you are interested in the entire article, you can find it at www.agingcare.com.
At that point, it is your job to intervene despite their protests.
Seniors with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia may not be aware that their abilities have changed and continue trying to adhere to their normal routines even though it isn’t safe. Memory loss and poor judgement can make even the simplest daily activities risky or downright dangerous.

Stephen Ministry
Set Up Safety Nets Regardless of how much your aging parents ask for or accept your help, do your best to set up a support system that keeps them safe and intrudes on their regular routine as little as possible. A medical alert system is a good example. Wearable pendants are relatively unobtrusive and provide peace of mind for both
Prioritize Their Well-Being
If your parent is behaving recklessly, neglecting themselves or endangering their own safety, then stepping in is in their best interest and you may need to be more forceful about it. This scenario happens often when a parent is experiencing cognitive issues.
Saralene Oldham, Stephen Ministry Co Leader, soldham@helmsbriscoe.com
Tom Clark
Look into assistive devices, such as medication organizers and mobility aids, that can make activities of daily living (ADLs) easier for them. Simple home modifications like grab bars can provide added safety and security as well.
Sheri Samotin brings more than 30 years of business and management experience to LifeBridge Solutions. She is the author of Facing the Finish: A Road Map for Aging Parents and Adult Children. Following a few simple rules can make a world of difference in the way that you provide care. Above all else, remember to be aware of your actions, your words, your tone and how these things affect your elderly parents. Self-awareness is crucial for keeping even your best intentions in check, altering your approach when necessary and apologizing when you overstep your parents’ boundaries.

Let Aging Parents Take the Lead If possible, do tasks alongside your parents instead of for them. While this approach might take longer than if you just did things yourself, you allow Mom and Dad to retain some of their independence by letting them take the lead. This can have beneficial effects on your parents’ self esteem and keep their functional abilities sharp. Be Respectful Ask permission before you just jump in. For example, when you take your parent to a doctor’s appointment, don’t just assume that they want you to come into the examination room with them. Instead, ask if they’d like you to be there the whole time, or if you should just come in toward the end of the visit to make sure YOUR questions are answered.

The vision of the Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance is that farmworker families and other low income residents of Immokalee have access to secure, affordable, hurricane-resistant rental housing that strengthens the community by fostering health, education, dignity and financial stability.
On Monday, August 15 a small group of our members travelled to Immokalee to see the progress of the housing complex being built by The Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance. The pictures below show that there are now streets and they are ready to get started on the buildings. If all goes according to plan, one of the housing units will be ready for occupancy this winter.To learn more about this project please visit www.immokaleefairhousing.org
