by FVC Chaplain, Jake Bennett Happy New Year! Can you believe we are beginning the 2014 year? I truly hope this coming year is an encouraging and blessed one for you and your family. With the conclusion of 2013 my primary focus was to take a brisk walk through a brief history of hymnody. As I studied and reflected upon the deep riches of the many hymns and songs that many of us have sung throughout our lives I realized how little I know about some significant men and women throughout Church history. This year, as we start with new beginnings, I would like to invite you to walk with me on a journey through history as we read about the lives of some fascinating men and women. This is a daunting task since there are so many amazing people and only 12 months in a year! To help narrow the field a bit I am planning to cover people with a tie (holiday or significant event) with each month of the year. This month I want to share with you about St. Basil’s Day. No, this is not the day when we put extra basil on our food. This day is celebrated on different days depending on the branch of Christianity. St. Basil’s Day commemorates an early church father who lived and served in the 4th C. Some Christian traditions do not celebrate St. Nicholas’ Day (which is where we get the cultural image of Santa Claus) but instead
choose St. Basil’s Day to exchange presents. Basil was born around 329AD and is considered one of the Cappadocian Fathers. These three men were the major theological leadership in the region of Cappadocia, or modern-day Turkey. They are very important for the development of Christian theology. In the years after the Counsel of Nicaea – which established the Nicene Counsel, Basil was one of the major proponents in ending heresies that kept trying to deny Jesus’ divinity – specifically a group called the Arians. He would not compromise his convictions as a bishop and follower of Jesus, even when it meant confronting the Emperor (Valens). Basil stood his ground on God’s Word but sought peace in everything else. While his stand against heresy may be what he is most known for Basil was also a very pious and generous man. He lived in the pre-monastic days and yet often saw the joys of living a simple, communal life. His writings were heavily influential on Christian monasticism. Additionally if you ever walk into a cathedral or church building that has many paintings on the walls, tradition states that this form of decoration began with Basil. Probably least known about Basil was his care for the poor. He was born into a very wealthy family
and chose to give away his wealth to the needy. He saw this as following in Jesus’ footsteps. There is much more that could be said about Basil but I hope that you get an encouraging picture of a man who sought to be humble in the face of adversity because of his faith in the Lord. We need these pictures to encourage and direct us towards how we can love and serve each other in our community. Well, until next month, here is a quote attributed to Basil, “God who created us has granted us the faculty of speech that we might disclose the counsels of our hearts to one another and that, since we possess our human nature in common, each of us might share his thoughts with his neighbor, bringing them forth from the secret recesses of the heart as from a treasury.” I hope you find this ability to share your story and find this kind of connection within our community here at Friendship Village Chesterfield.

For this month’s issue, the Village Voice has decided to turn the tables and spotlight the woman behind all the wonderful articles we read each month. Since 2005, Esther has interviewed 316 new residents and written 316 articles for the Village Voice. Esther makes the interviewing process look easy. She puts her interviewee at ease by bringing the new resident a “Welcome Bag” as a gift. She would like to thank her daughter, Ann Kallemeier, for driving her to purchase these bags and their contents. Esther has truly blessed this community with her gift of word and hospitality. Esther retired from this very important position this Winter 2013. Many of you know Esther as she is very involved at Friendship Village Chesterfield, but here is a behind the scenes look at this very accomplished woman: Reprinted from the July 2005 issue of the Village Voice. When Esther moved into Friendship Village in March of 2005, little did we realize what a dynamic lady she was. Esther was born in Kansas City and raised in Quincy, Illinois. In 1942 she received a scholarship to GEM 26
City Business College and in 19421945 attended the University of Illinois and later, attended the American Institute of Banking in 1967-68. Her list of credentials is outstanding. In the spring of 1955 after being a homemaker and community volunteer she served as journalist for the St. Ann News. In 1957, she began serving as editor of Arcade Publication Inc. of Overland, MO., later becoming Editor of the St. Louis County Star, Donnelly Publications, Inc., of Overland. In January of 1967 her new role was that of Customer Relations Officer at the Bank of St. Ann on St. Charles Rock Road. In April of 1968 she was named General Manager of Donnelly Publications, Inc. and effectively began a new weekly publication, the Creve Coeur Citizen. She later became the Advertising/Public Relations Director for Home Federal Savings & Loan in Overland, MO, for several years. Esther was Vice Chairman, Board of Managers of the Northwest YMCA, and in 1974 she became Community Chamber of Commerce President. She was also the first woman to be elected to the board of elders and member of the Diaconate at Overland Presbyterian Church. Other acclaims she received were: “Woman in Finance and Industry” “Woman in Communication” “Who’s Who of American Women” “2,000 Women in Communication” “Women in Business & Industry” “Who’s Who in the Midwest”
Some of the offices Esther held included president of the sixmember executive board of Lake Sherwood Estates and Northwest Business and Professional Women. She served three times as president of Beta Sigma Phi—XI Gamma Epsilon Chapter. In addition to her vast business acclaims, she received recognition from the Pattonville School District for her volunteer work in public education. Esther was married to Clyde R. Phillips for 58 years. They raised five children– all honor graduates from Pattonville High School; three were honor graduates from colleges or universities.
At Friendship Village, she enjoys playing bridge, her morning exercise as well as attending the Monday Morning Coffee Hour. …
Thank you, Esther Phillips, for your tremendous job as Resident Reporter! You are a true gem to the FVC community.
Friendship Village Chesterfield Senior Food Drive Update The generosity of our villagers provided a great donation of food for the hungry for the month of November. There were 356 cans of food and personal items, $511 in monetary gifts with a total value of $1156. This was enough to feed and care for 680 persons for one day. Again the monetary gifts were used to purchase liquid protein and other essentials. Although the Holiday season is over, the hungry still need to be fed. Please continue to show your love and concern by providing for St. Louis Seniors in need. The next collection will be held on Monday, January 6th at 9:00 am. Checks should be made out to “Operation Food Search� and turned in at the front desk or given to Chaplain Jake Bennett.
Thank you all for your continued support.
