Stories
Christmas message from Reverend Bert Baetz
 
Stockton Williams introduced Bert Baetz, who is the rector at St. Peter's Episcopal church. Stockton was the rector there for fifteen years, and when he retired three years ago, it was suggested his replacement be a young dynamic priest, with a family and kids who could go to St. Peter's School. That happened, and now Bert is leading the congregation.
 
Father Bert provided the talk with the theme  "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". He emphasized that there are three signs that indicate the season is upon us: Lights, Gifts and a heightened awareness to help the poor.  The lighted Christmas parade and lights around town kicked off the season, and they remind us of our need for light. The story of John the Baptist pointing the way to the coming light was explained.
 
Giving gifts is a big part of Christmas, but we were also reminded of the need to give unconditionally, unlike the theme behind the elf on the shelf.  Giving to the poor is emphasized this time of year, and there is a parallel with the story of the prodigal son, who squandered his fortune and became destitute, but was still welcomed back to the family by his father.
 
Prayer and Pledge
 
David Horn led us in the prayer and pledge.
Christmas Song
George Eychner led us in the appropriate "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" song.
Families in Rotary
 
 Corrections Officer Stephen Walters Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday January 24, 2020 at 3:00pm at the Gateway Church in Bandera, Texas. Then on Saturday January 25, 2020 there will be a benefit for him held at noon, at the 11th Street Cowboy bar in Bandera, Texas. Please support this Officers family. There has also been an account, the Stephen Walters Benefit Account, set up at the Security State Bank and Trust in Kerrville. Donations may be made at any of their 16 locations. Officer Walters was a great Corrections Officer for over 12 years in Kerr County and a loving husband. He was also a 44 year old father of 4 great kids, who now need our communities support. He passed away of complications of the flu, even though he DID have the flu shot.
