LETTER FROM THE RECTOR

For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 2015 Christmas Faire! Like many of you, this will be my first St. Matthew’s Christmas Faire. I can’t wait to experience it. From what I’ve been told and from what I’ve read, this event will be a magical few hours of fellowship, food, drink and good fun that will help us to prepare for Christmas. What I most anticipate is that this Christmas Faire will be bathed with a sense of hope. We will bring hope to the many who receive support from our outreach partners and we will embrace the hope that this world can be transformed through our efforts and prayers.

The gift of a future and a hope. This theme ultimately speaks of the promise of Christmas. In the birth of the Christ child, God proclaimed that there was no darkness, trouble or poverty that could escape the tender presence of Divine love. With the host of ministries that our Christmas Faire efforts support and enable, love and hope comes to inner city youth in LA, to homeless in our West LA neighborhood, to children in Africa, to unemployed folks seeking a job, to the families of the incarcerated, and to many others. Fifteen outreach partners are supported with our gifts through the Christmas Faire’s efforts. 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 hope 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 2015 Committee. May the members of this Committee be blessed with hope and joy for the gift of this night.

While reading through the Christmas Faire catalog, 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. 20 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 and the reality of hope.

In Christ,

The Rev. Bruce A. Freeman


LETTER FROM THE CHAIRS EVENT CHAIRS: Lyndsie Cardito and Amy Beal AUCTION CHAIRS: Christel Smith Durkin and Cary Sinnott

Dear Friends of St. Matthew's,

On behalf of The Parish of St. Matthew we are delighted to welcome you to the 24TH Annual Christmas Faire on November 20, 2015. 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 evening 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. Thank you; you've given us more than we could HOPE to give back to you.

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 HOPE for tomorrow.

“HOPE is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” Desmond Tutu

964. 2011 MERRY EDWARDS PINOT NOIR VALUE: $65 Recently inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame in the Napa

Valley, along with a fellow by the name of Robert Parker, Merry Edwards has crafted a small production, brilliant Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir from three superb estate vineyards: Klopp, Flax, and Cresta d’Oro. The relatively tiny 1,022-case yield forced the winey to direct nearly all the wine to restaurants. It possesses all the aromatics and flavors one associates with the significantly more costly single-vineyard offerings, and offers an earthy, rustic expression of Pinot, with loamy notes, vaguely defined dried berry and herb details, and cola-sassafras hints and grainy tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2022.

966. 2012 TOR NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON VALUE: $85

The 2012 Napa Cabernet shows just how great this vintage was from a valley perspective.This is a blend of Mast in Yountville, Melanson on Pritchard Hill, Tierra Roja in Oakville, and To Kalon in Oakville. The blending of these three different vineyards produced what is easily the best Napa Cabernet we have ever produced. The 2012 Napa Cabernet is immediately drinkable with silky sweet tannins and loads of red fruit. The wood, acidity and tannins are all in perfect balance so all you get is the great blackberry, cherry and sweet vanilla. This is the wine to drink while you wait for your designates to be at peak. Drink this between 2013 and 2020.



967. 2010 ARAUJO ALTAGRACIA SYRAH VALUE: $90

This wine's sibling, the 2010 Eisele Vineyard Syrah, earned a 96 point score from the Wine Advocate. By virtue of sharing the same vineyard, winemaking team and vintage, many of that wine's memorable notes — "black olives and plums burst from the glass in an explosive wine loaded with varietal nuance and sheer power. The cooler vintage brought out the best. This is a marvelous, totally compelling wine endowed with massive concentration and depth... Black fruit, tobacco, savory herbs, licorice and menthol are layered into the brooding finish" — are also captured in the Altagracia Syrah. And though the drinking window should be slightly shorter, we would still expect the Altagracia Syrah, which is a delight right now, to easily continue to mellow and improve for years to come.
