WELCOME KYLE JONES, OUR NEW MUSIC DIRECTOR !

Kyle hails from the great state of Texas where he got his Master’s in cho-ral conducting, taught piano and voice to young musicians K-12, accompanied theater and dance performances, be-came an apprentice pipe organ builder, sang in operas and musical theater, composed and/or arranged anthems for special services, and worked at various churches as Choir Director, Soloist, Paid Section Leader, Worship Arts Coordina-tor, Director of Music, led musical activi-ties for VBS, and directed/played with the handbell performers. (Whew!)

Lest you think he spent his whole time in Texas, he earned his Bachelor’s degree from Furman University in Greenville, SC and was active in the choir at a local Presbyterian church, as well as the handbell choir. He got a sec-ond Master’s from Florida State (Go Seminoles!) and taught at the Florida State Summer Music Camp. He has per-formed under and worked alongside many distinguished conductors in a vari-ety of settings.

We are pleased and honored to have Kyle as a member of the Eastmin-ster staff; his first opportunity as Music Director and organist will be Sunday, August 18, at the 10 am church service.

AND WELCOME TO BILLY CALVERT, DIRECTOR OF YOUTH & CHILDREN !

Billy comes to Eastminster from Her-

mitage, PA, with a strong 7-year back-ground in youth ministry, as well as light-ing, sound & A/V; drama, band, market-ing, and event planning!

Originally from Ocala, FL, Billy is moving back to Florida not only to be our DYC, but to be closer to family...and I’m sure the weather was a factor, too, as he noted in his letter, “I think you have a beautiful campus; I especially like the palm trees surrounding your church!”

Billy attended the College of Central Florida, receiving an Associates of Arts degree with a triple major in Psychology, Philosophy, and Religion. Later he at-tended Southeastern University, receiv-ing a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Practical Theology, with a minor in Pas-toral Ministry.

He is a good public speaker, comfort-able in a variety of environments, demo-graphics, and cultures...which should serve him well when dealing with children! (Actually, he has worked with children’s ministry in most of his positions.)

“I am absolutely passionate about wanting to engage, equip, and empower students at all levels to take ownership of their relationship with Christ, and to give them many opportunities to get involved with the church and com-munity.”

Bi l ly wi l l start the first week of August and work with Syd Freese and Lauren Allison prior to their de-partures in mid August.

IN APPRECIATION From David Vogeding: My Dearest People of Eastminster, It has taken me awhile to settle down after the exquisite and absolutely beautiful send-off from Eastminster. Wow! What an honor! I was ex-tremely humbled and impressed by the congregational response to my retirement “party” on June 30. I will never forget all the honors, gifts, and overall response, not just on June 30, but throughout the years at Eastminster. You are truly a loving and accepting people that I shall cherish the rest of my life.

I have met and worked with many people over the last 19 plus years and I am truly overwhelmed by the love, understanding, encouragement and acceptance of all the music-loving Christian people who call Eastminster Presbyterian their home.

I will never forget you. I will always remember your love and kindness to me and Carleen. It is my hope and prayer that you will continue to support the music depart-ment as you look forward to extending a hearty welcome to the next Director of Music and Organist. All my love and respect goes out to you.

From Elizabeth & the Preschool Staff: Words cannot ex-press how grateful we are for the enormous support that has been given so effortlessly in preparation of the new school year. We would like to take this opportunity and extend our appreciation to Steve Adams who has generously volun-teered throughout the summer months. Steve has completed many facility tasks that go above and beyond the call of duty. In addition, to his hard work and dedication, we would also like to thank Ed Bowers and Tom Wright for painting Kirk Hall and to Chad and Lisa Morrison who donated new flooring for the preschool lavatories that were in desperate need of replacement. The preschool has never looked better! We appreci-ate your thoughtfulness, generosity and your dedication to our amazing ministry.

From Anne Adams: David’s party was a smashing suc-cess, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t call out some of the folks who helped to make it so. I am always afraid I’ll leave someone out (and if I do, it isn’t on purpose, so please

forgive me). Right from the start I had a great team of folks who jumped in with ideas and suggestions – Claire Gibbs, Harv Hobson, Chad & Lisa Morrison, Susan Vallette, Becky & Jack Rowley, Tangela Copeland, Kathy Hill, Gloria Bauer, Madeline Jacobs, Bunny Nairn…they all were ready and willing to take on the challenge; I definitely couldn’t have done it without them.

Susan and Becky collaborated on the delicious food (it WAS delicious, too, wasn’t it). Susan’s team (I think I counted 9 of them in the kitchen on Saturday) really pulled it all together, and the servers were excellent, too. Becky matted and framed the pic-tures so professionally, and Claire did a huge job of putting the book together – gath-ering everyone’s cards and letters, and wading through mountains of stuff to get just the right remembrance on the pages…not to mention the quilt! I didn’t even have to worry about decorations, as Tangela handled that (as well as a bunch of other not so little details) perfectly. The slide show was a big success, with David’s music playing in the background…what a treat.

The choir stepped up, also…we called a couple of extra rehearsals, and so many showed up…Mary Ellen & Bill Straup even drove all the way from the Carolinas just for the week! Theresa & David Fleener, Tim & June Leech, and Ken Cocker came together to assist with providing the music. Ken’s song was a hit, and Bunny Nairn’s skit was over the top (No, bubba, I’m not bringing donuts)! My marvelous husband Steve, and Tangela’s husband Melvin, stood by us every step of the way; I know those tables and chairs didn’t move themselves.

All in all, it was a great celebration, attended by over 200 people, and major kudos belong to all who helped make it so! As David would say, Hugs and Kisses!

She says, “God led me back to this comforting and active church. Yes, there are problems, but as with any family, if everyone works together, Eastminster will survive and even rise above where it was. I am honored to be considered for a session seat and will work diligently with God’s direction to find agreeable solutions for the concerns of the entire church body.”

Jack Rowley transferred to Eastminster in 2007 from First Presbyterian in Slidell, LA where he

served on their Session for five years—from before Hurricane Katrina through the rebuilding of the Church in the following two years. As Clerk of Session, he coordinated Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA), SE LA Presbytery, and other area churches to sponsor Presbyterian mission groups from throughout the US, sent to assist in the rebuilding process.

A retired Navy Lieutenant Commander with 22 years of Naval service, he remains employed as a Senior Ocean Engineer with SAIC. Jack served 25 years in Boy Scouts, 16 of those years as a Scoutmaster. Jack was also active with Rotary Club and served as its President in 2002-3. With his military, community, scouting, and Presbyterian experience, he brings with him extensive lead-ership that is very much PC(USA) oriented.

Jack is married to Becky Rowley (our Kitchen Manager). They have three sons, each of which is also career military. He has been on the Eastminster Mission Committee since he joined the Church and helps in our fellowship programs. Jack feels strongly that he is being called to the Session to help Eastminster move for-ward, to rebuild, and to continue its growth as a strong PCUSA denomination and its role as a positive force in the Central Florida Presbytery as well as our Melbourne area community.

During that time she has been a part of the Audit Commit-tee, helped with Christian Ed and taught Sunday School, served as an Elder and Mission Chair, helped with long-range planning, and served on the Stewardship and Worship Committees.

They next moved to Royal Oak where David served for many years on the Board of Trustees in another Presbyterian Church, and then to California, where he served on church and volunteer boards. A move to Florida 19 years ago brought them to Eastminster where he enthusiastically embraces the pre-sent and future of the church: “This church family is strong, moving forward in a new and excit-ing chapter; we look forward to being a committed part of it.”

Tom Wright retired in 2011 after a 37 year career as an electrical engineer, the last 27 lo-cally at Harris Corporation. He grew up in a Presbyterian family—his grandfather was ordained as a deacon at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Miami, his mother was a lifelong member of Miami Springs Presbyterian Church, where he attended Sunday School as a child. Tom and Leslie were married at First Presbyterian Church of Ft. Lauderdale in 1979 and have been members of Eastminster for the past 16 years. Their sons Steve and Eric were baptized here and the oldest son Steve was married at Eastminster in 2009.

Tom is active in the church: working with other church members on various facility mainte-nance projects, participating in the annual spring work day, and ushering during Sunday wor-ship. Tom and Leslie also sponsor a lovely 6-year-old girl named Dasia through Compassion International. They enjoy traveling and spending time with their family.

Now that he is retired, Tom looks forward to applying his problem-solving skills and management experience to Eastminster while serving on session.

Eastminster for almost 2 years. She works full time as a Mental Health Therapist in a not-for-profit agency focusing her practice on marriage and family therapy. She has been married to Brian Delos Santos for over 13 years and the couple has 4 children, ages 8 years to 6 months.

One of Karen’s most important missions in life is to raise her children to love and serve our Lord. She and Brian are so thankful for Eastminster and the way the church has embraced their family with open arms. Karen is honored to serve on the PNC and committed to serving in this role, being guided by God, for what is in the best interest of our church.

David Dunn is a retired physician who served as elder at two previous Presbyterian churches and as a member of the PNC. He & wife Midge first attended Eastminster over ten years ago while visiting family and joined seven years ago when they moved to Melbourne to be near two of their children and five grandchildren.

a variety of leadership positions, including deacon, teaching, and pastoral search committee. Before his retirement, Howard’s professional career was with the Brevard County School Sys-tem as middle and high school principal and HR Director.

Howard and wife Marie have been members of Eastminster since 2000, having been ‘blessed by the ministries of this church.’ Howard is active in the Chancel Choir.

Mary Kaminski lives in Indialantic and has been married to Jim for 33 years next month. They have two adult children who grew up in the choirs and youth programs of Eastminster. Mary and Jim joined Eastminster 23 years ago and have worked on the Christian Ed Commit-tee, Scholarship Committee, VBS, and confirmation classes. Mary says she is “very excited to be nominated to be a part of the PNC.”

Patsy Oliphant has attended Eastminster for 62 years! Her parents were founding mem-bers of Eastminster and, as an infant, was at the original ground-breaking ceremony. She grew up in the Eastminster family, attending Sunday school, VBS, church, and the ‘famed’ youth group where she grew socially and spiritually. Patsy attended Western Carolina University where her major in Special Ed led her to work with emotionally and developmentally challenged students in the DC area for the next 25 years, always coming home to Eastminster on holidays and summer breaks.

After retiring from teaching in 1998, Patsy returned to Indialantic and started a small busi-ness. Patsy attends Saturday night service but loves the traditions of Sunday worship. She

states, “I consider myself a Presbyterian through and through; our doctrines have governed my beliefs and nour-ished my faith.” Having ‘experienced’ every minister Eastminster has had, she is grateful for the PNC nomination and believes the Lord is calling her to serve the church by helping find a new minister. She adds, “I humbly ask that you will pray that God guides me in this most important endeavor.”

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR PASTOR NOMINATING COMMITTEE!
