LETTER FROM THE RECTOR

“Live in me. Make your home in me, as I make mine in you.”

John 15:4 Welcome to the 2017 Christmas Faire!! Like most of you I look forward to the St. Matthew’s Christmas Faire all year. I can’t wait to experience the good cheer, renewed friendships, great food and drink and most of all the sincere and creative efforts to raise money for our Outreach partners. This will be a magical few hours as we prepare for Christmas. What I most anticipate is that this Christmas Faire will be bathed with a sense of joy. We will feel joy that we will bring hope to the many who receive support from our outreach partners and joy in the promise that through our efforts and prayers this world can be transformed. Home is where the heart is. This theme for our 2017 Faire speaks of the promise of Christmas. In the birth of the Christ child God proclaimed that our true home is in the heart of God and for this reason there was no darkness, trouble or poverty that escaped the tender presence of Divine love. With the host of ministries that our efforts at the Christmas Faire support and enable, love and hope is brought to inner city youth in LA, homeless in our West LA neighborhood, children in Africa, unemployed folks seeking a job, the families of the incarcerated, and many others. There are 15 outreach partners supported with our gifts through the Christmas Faire. The impact of this event is not small, for those served and for us—as we seek to become God’s hands of hope in the world. The hospitality and sense of “home” of the Faire evening is made possible, in good measure, by those who have been working so hard in the months and weeks leading up to this night. I have been absolutely in awe of the energy, creativity and passion of those who have volunteered to serve on the Christmas Faire 2017 Committee. May the members of this Committee be blessed with hope and joy for the gift of this night. Looking at the Christmas Faire brochure, it is easy to be pleasantly overwhelmed by the variety of offerings. The auction items speak to me as an opportunity for lively competition, laughter and generosity. The silent auction area, which includes the Thrift shop and Christmas boutique, the wine auction, parties and raffle all seem to be a means for joy and sharing. The stewardship of those who have donated so many wonderful items and ideas will turn into tangible gifts we share with others. The wonder of the Christmas Faire night is that the fun and joy experienced here translates into real assistance for those who are less fortunate. Come to the Christmas Faire with open hearts and the expectation to give and share! It takes place on Nov. 17 from 6 to 9pm in Sprague Auditorium. I am looking forward to the joy of the Faire and pray that we will all experience the power of Christmas, a sense that we have found our true home. In Christ, The Rev. Bruce A. Freeman


LETTER FROM THE CHAIRS

EVENT CHAIRS: Anna Hurst, Channing Grigsby & Holly Manzo AUCTION CHAIRS: Courtney Wyman & Kelly Peterson

Dear Friends of St. Matthew's, On behalf of The Parish of St. Matthew we are delighted to welcome you to the 26th Annual Christmas Faire on November 17, 2017. As we come together to celebrate this merry season with our families, friends old and new, and our neighbors, we hope that the merriment of this evening will inspire you to make this celebration a part of your faithful holiday tradition. Thank you to our beloved St. Matthew’s community for your loving kindness and support of us in this great effort. This evening could not happen without your generosity and goodwill. This year’s Faire theme is: Home is where the heart is. As John says, “Make your home in me, as I make mine in you”. This community is our home and through the Faire, we have built new friendships and opened our “home” to the greater community. The proceeds from the Christmas Faire go directly to our Outreach Partners. It is our prayer that the thousands near and far whom our Outreach partners serve may never lose infinite hope. May the funds raised tonight give them the resources to make their hardship less difficult to bear as they regain their footing in the world and give them a tomorrow filled with love, happiness and a community they can call home.

"Make your home in me, as I make mine in you”
