                          I Love to Tell the Story
Earlier this month, I was meeting with the son of a member who had recently died. He came in-
to my office from the main hallway of the church, and you could tell his eyes struggled to focus.
He was captivated by the building, by every corner of it – looking at the pictures, the colors,
taking in the smell that accompanied the sights of just being at Harvey Browne Memorial
Presbyterian Church. When he finally fixed his eyes with mine, he had tears in his eyes. “I have
so many memories from this place,” he said. “This is where I grew up.”
As I sat with him, hearing stories of his mother’s life, he also shared stories from his life in this
church. Sunday School classes, Boy Scout troops, worship services in what is now the chapel.
Though he had moved away and found a church home elsewhere, just stepping into this space
reminded him of stories. Stories of formation. Stories of community. Stories of God’s people
gathering for worship and service.
So often, Stewardship season is accompanied with lists of what we will or what we have done.
Which makes sense. It is our way of letting you know what your pledge dollars are going to-
ward. But sometimes – and particularly in a year like we have just had – it is important for us
to remember who we are. What our story is. Why we are here and how we have come to know
God here in this place.
In the coming month, I invite you to think about your story here at Harvey Browne. Some of our
stories will be shared in worship and in writing. Some of our stories will be shared around
tables and over Zoom calls. But in this season, think about your story here in this place. For
some of you, that story may be lifelong. For some it is just getting started. But consider how
that story has shaped you – has shaped us. And how it will lead us into the future God is
preparing.
Because stories have power. They make us who we are. So this October, let’s remember those
stories that make us who we are as God’s people. And let’s pledge ourselves toward living into
that future story God is creating here at
Harvey Browne.

                               Deacon’s Corner
Deacons and members of HBPres, due to some folks relocating, others dropping land lines or
acquiring cell phones and other life events, the church is attempting to update all current
information about members. This is helpful in case of emergency or you need to be contacted.

Deacons, it would be helpful when contacting your flock if you could remind them to be sure
their info is up to date and correct. Also ask them if their emergency contact is on file.

Members, if you have a change of phone, address, or family contacts in case the church needs to
notify someone of your illness or other event, or if you have not given the church any of this
information, please notify the church office so it may be put in your file.

Thank you Deacons for all you do for your flocks. Remember to pray for your flock daily and
contact them often.

The Board of Deacons

HBPres - Preschool
          Harvey Browne Preschool Highlights
The preschool hallways will be full of treats not tricks in late October! We are looking forward to
Trick or Treating through the hallways and fun Halloween/Fall parties at the end of the month.
While we have needed to limit visitors in the building at this time, teachers have worked
together with parents to provide games, snacks, and special activities for the parties.

In mid-September the Preschool Board voted to continue having our children wear masks
during the time they are at preschool. This small act has been recommended by the American
Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC to help protect the children from COVID. We learned very
quickly that children rise to the expectation set before them and our children have done an
amazing job learning the skill of mask wearing! The preschool teachers approached mask
wearing as a skill to be taught and supported, they are committed to supporting children where
they are in their development in all areas and mask wearing is no exception.

The preschool is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all children to
thrive. We are proud to have 100% COVID vaccination participation with our staff members,
a number we reached prior to the start of school. The preschool is also requiring substitute
teachers and therapists to be vaccinated to work in the classrooms.

Did you know that we offer Speech and Occupational Therapy? We have two wonderful
therapists that work with our children on a contracted basis. At the beginning of the school
year, children can participate in Speech and OT screening with parent permission at a reduced
rate through the school. If a child is identified as needing extra support, those therapies can be
done while the child attends or at the therapists’ clinic depending on the needs of the child. This
is just another way that the preschool works to meet the needs of all children.

We are hard at work having fun this fall and are grateful to provide a rich preschool experience
for our youngest learners.

Gratefully,

The Harvey Browne Preschool Board

                                                                                                   5

            Planning for Autumn and Advent is
                  happening at HBPres!

HBKids
Sunday school is going well. One change is being made and may affect your family. The 1 st-5th
grade class is being moved inside to the gym where they will wear masks and social distance.
The teachers for that group feels this will be better for the class because of the noise and
distractions on Browns Lane.

    •   October 3 - World Communion Sunday and the worship
        committee would love to involve the children in the
        worship service. Please let me know if you will be in town
        (Fall break) because we are asking that families bring
        different types of bread to represent other cultures and
        grapes to make the Communion table look like a feast
        representing other countries. We would love to have the
        children/families process into the sanctuary at the beginning
        of the service to “set” the table. We would love to have participation of the children.

    •   November 7, 3:00-5:00pm (weather permitting)
        All are invited to Cedar Ridge Camp for camp activities and
        fellowship with one another.

    •   November 28 – Advent Buddies will begin!

    •   December 19 - Christmas Pageant to be recorded before that day
        outside. Help is needed for this adventure.

HBTweens

    • October 10 & 24, 11:30am-1:30pm (Note time change)
    On both Sundays, the Tweens will meet at church in the gym for a
    lesson from Learning to Use My Bible. It would be helpful to bring
    Bibles on these days. After the Bible lesson we will enjoy some
    recreation time together.

All of this subject to change and feedback, help are always welcome!

                    Cabbage Patch Christmas
                                Our hearts and gifts are open

For now, Cabbage Patch is asking that we be flexible with our Christmas support since we are
                            experiencing an increase in Covid.

                        One plan is to shop for families - November 13
                             And deliver to families December 12
           Another plan is to repeat last year’s by donating money so the Patch can
                                  buy gift cards for families.

                        We will keep you informed as things develop.
               Please keep these dates as possible events for our church family.

                          Monetary donations are always welcomed
                                from now until Christmas.

Harvey’s Helpers is a group of people meeting on Mondays from 9:00am – 12:00pm to complete
projects around the church. During the past 6 years we have completed projects throughout the
church. With a list of diverse projects volunteers can choose a project that meets their ability
and interest on arriving Monday morning. Sometimes we are all working on the same project
while other weeks you may find a solo job that interests you. We can’t even begin to estimate
the amount of money the church has saved to use in other areas. Drop in next Monday for more
information or come work on one of our projects. We’re always looking for new projects, notify
the church office if there is something you would like fixed, cleaned, or painted. Below is a list of

The Session of HBPres met, through the technology of Zoom, a stated meeting on Tuesday,

   •   Approved recommendations from our Covid Safety Taskforce. Details of these
       recommendations are included in this newsletter.

   •   Rev. Coy Fohr gave the Pastor’s report.

   •   Approve Rev. Tim Cargal to preach on September 26, 2021.

   •   Reviewed Terry’s report on children and youth.

   •   Approved a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for all employees of HBPres, including the

         Report from the COVID Safety Taskforce
          (formerly the “Reopening Task Force”)
The COVID Safety Taskforce has very few changes to offer to our current policy despite the
current status of COVID in the community and the recent positive COVID individuals at
HBPres. We feel that the high percentage of vaccination amongst our members provides greater
safety than available in the community. We also believe that our current guidelines have been
very effective as evidenced by the small incidence of COVID positivity in our church and that
there was no spread following the presence of a COVID positive individual at church. In an
effort to balance the emotional and spiritual needs of our members with COVID safety we feel
comfortable progressing with programming starting in September. This could include Sunday
School for all ages, Wednesday evening dinners, community groups using the building, youth
meetings, etc.

Mask use should continue for anyone over the age of 2 years old when in the church building.
Events held outside, when weather allows, further increases the safety for all. When possible,
indoor programming should include a “hybrid” for those staying at home. A safe method of
serving food with church activities is feasible but caution should avoid congregating at a serving
table. We urge all church ministries to seek innovative means to carry out the mission of the
Church. Members of the COVID Safety Taskforce will be willing participants in your planning
discussions on request.

With the occurrence of our first known COVID positive individuals at church we realized a plan
for addressing this should be formalized. It is desirable that close contacts (a close contact is
anyone who was within 6 feet of an infected person for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-
hour period (for example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes)) are
notified in a timely fashion. We agreed on a three-step approach:

     •   Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Department will be contacted for guidance.

     •   Events considered to be church wide will lead to a general announcement made using
         the usual means of church communications. If the event involved a smaller group, only
         attendees at that event will be notified.

     •   Any individual who has attended a church event and learns they are positive for COVID
         will be asked to contact Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Department. It
         will be suggested that this individual make a list of “close contacts” and notify each
         contact. Church staff will request a copy of this contact list to offer support to all in-
         volved.

Guidance suggestions which likely require Session action:

   •    Allow congregational singing at the end of a service to remain as policy but at the
        discretion of staff on a weekly basis.

   •    Events at church should include an attendance list to use for contact of close contacts
        when indicated.

In summary – Masks, Masks, Masks. Look for innovative means to provide for the emotional
and spiritual wellbeing of all individuals. Call a Task Force member to seek suggestions on
implementing programming. This is a very fluid situation and requires diligence from all of us.

Thank you – In Christ’s Name,

COVID Safety Taskforce
