“Kids Against Hunger” comes to TrinityGloria ColvinKids Against Hunger Liaison

Sometimes the problems of the world seem so overwhelming that there doesn’t seem to be anything that an individual can do that will make a difference. On Saturday, Sept. 28, though, Trinity members and

their families wi l l have an opportunity to join together to help alleviate hunger in our c o m m u n i t y

when Trinity serves as a Kids Against Hunger packaging center. Kids Against Hunger is a humanitarian food-aid organization that aims to alleviate world hunger by o r g a n i z i n g volunteers to pack a highly n u t r i t i o u s , v i t a m i n -fortified soy-rice casserole m i x a n d distributing those meals t o h u n g r y children and their families in over 60 countries through partnerships with humanitarian organizations worldwide.

Individuals, families, or groups of people from Trinity can sign up for

a shift on September 28 to help package these nutritionally balanced meals that will feed a family of four. During each shift, teams of 8-10 people will measure rice, dehydrated vegetables, soy, vitamins and minerals and create food packs that will be given to Second Harvest of the Big Bend to distribute locally to people in need of a healthy meal.

This is a great opportunity for families to work together on a service project, since even elementary-school-age children can participate. Nursery will be available for children younger than 5.

A sign-up form is available on the Trinity website (tumct.org) for participants to register and sign up for the shift they want. There will be four shifts of an hour and 15 minutes at 9:45, 10:45, 11:45, and 12:45. In addition to packers, people are needed to help set up, restock ingredients, and pack the truck.

Many people have been collecting

quarters this summer to raise funds for this project, but additional contributions to help cover the total cost of $6,000 are needed. Checks can be made out to: Trinity United Methodist Church with Kids Against Hunger noted on the memo line.

This project is an outgrowth of the Women in Ministry’s year-long emphasis on alleviating hunger. To learn more about Kids Against Hunger go to www.kidsagainsthunger.org or contact Rev. Barbara Hynes (222-1120).

By E. Wayne CurrySenior Pastor

Thank you for all I forget are gifts, not rights. Forgive me for all the grievances I remember too well.Save me from the self-pity, the self-seeking, the fat-heartedness which is true poverty.Guide me, if I’m willing (drive me if I’m not) into the hard ways of sacrifice which are just and loving.Make me wide-eyed for beauty, and for my neighbor’s need and goodness;wide-willed for peace-making, and for the confronting power with the call to compassion; wide-hearted for love and for the unloved, who are the hardest to touch and need it the most.Dull the envy in me which criticizes and complains life into a thousand ugly bits.Keep me honest and tender enough to heal, tough enough to be healed of my hypocrisies.Match my appetite for privilege with the stomach for commitment.Teach me the great cost of paying attention that, naked to the dazzle of your back as you pass, I may know I am always on holy ground.Breathe into me the restlessness and courage to make something new, something saving, and something truethat I may understand what it is to rejoice.

Dear Friends,I hope you are having a good summer and that these last few weeks

offer you some last minute times of rest and relaxation before the whirlwind starts up again. I just wanted to pass along a prayer from a book of prayers by Reverend Ted Loder, a retired United Methodist minister from Pennsylvania. His prayers are quite powerful in their speaking to our day to day lives and what we both seek and struggle with. The following one certainly spoke to me and perhaps it will to you as well.

It is my prayer that we all may be wide-eyed, wide-willed, wide-hearted and restless and courageous enough to follow Christ’s new and saving and true way, so that at last we truly can rejoice! You are loved,

Most of us are probably on “summer mode” and not yet interested in shifting into higher gear as the busy fall approaches. Certainly for those involved in music ministry at Trinity, what happens in late August and early September is vital to our cause. That is when most of the music groups return from summer break to begin our ministry again for a new year. We are looking for all kinds of musicians; music leaders, singers of all ages, instrumentalists for praise bands, steel pan players, and handbell/handchime ringers. So where do you fit in? We are pleased to welcome back people of all ages already involved in our 13 music groups. Perhaps this is the year that you too can become part of our unique and multi-faceted music ministry here at Trinity!

Most of our music groups resume rehearsals in early to mid-September and there will be information on them in the September Tidings. Some groups, including our adult praise band, continue year-round. Here’s some information about Chancel Choir, both praise bands and Youth Choir.

Chancel ChoirOur Chancel Choir will resume rehearsals

on Wednesday, August 21 at our usual 7:30 pm. This large adult choir leads the congregation in song and provides special music at the 11 am services about eleven months each year. The choir will present, with orchestra, about 30 minutes of glorious m u s i c b y f a m e d composer John Rutter, on Sunday, March 30, 2014. They enjoy social get-togethers several times each year (including our annual

Music News for AugustMark RepaskyDirector of Music

“welcome back” pot-luck set for September 4) and sing at several special services annually such as Christmas and Maundy Thursday. Any adult can join Chancel Choir….no audition or tryout is required. If you like to sing and want to be of service to your church, come join us!

Simply come to one of our choir rehearsals in the choir room, and we will do the rest.

Youth ChoirYouth Choir meets on Sundays from 5-6

p.m. This fall’s first rehearsal is on August 25. The youth choir sings about once a month at worship services. It is open to any 6th through 12th grader, and 5th graders may join by invitation. It’s not required that you know how to read music, but it’s helpful! Our organist, Jonathan Hehn, is the leader. Talk to Jonathan if you’re interested, or call him at 850-980-2812.

Youth Praise TeamThe youth praise team meets Sunday

evenings from 4-5 p.m. to rehearse and then leads worship between 6-7 p.m. We have a wonderful time leading our fellow youth in worship and making music together. If you’re interested in joining the youth praise team, please contact Lisa Prasse (lisaprasse@aol.com) for more information.

Circle of Friends Praise TeamThe Circle of Friends praise team leads our

SUN service worship every Sunday morning at 9:45 a.m. We have a wonderfully committed group of talented musicians who meet every Wednesday night (year round) from 7-9 p.m. for rehearsals. If you’re interested in auditioning for the Circle of Friends, please contact Lisa Prasse (Praise and Worship Leader) at lisaprasse@aol.com for more information.

Men’s EnsembleEach August, we put together a men’s

ensemble. Many men from Chancel Choir participate, but we also welcome quite a few visitors. Some have come for more than five years in a row! So, gentlemen (high school students and adults), come join us! We’ll practice Wednesday, August 7, 7-8:30 p.m. in the choir room. The music is relatively easy so we can prepare it pretty quickly. David LaJeunesse, our leader, has scheduled a second rehearsal for those who can come. It is in the choir room on Sunday, August 4, 10-10:50 a.m. If you can get to both rehearsals, great. If not, get to one of them and you’ll be OK. The men sing on Sunday, August 11. This is always a special day for the congregation, and great fun for the men. There’s no sound quite like a male chorus!

Each year, the Chancel Choir has a summer get-together party. This year, the party was hosted by Dan and Kathy Drake. And, thanks to Dan’s expertise behind the camera, we have these photos to enjoy. In the photo at left, Ken Metzger, Leslie Paugh, and Nan Ritchie. In the photo below, Music Director, Mark Repasky, Marshall Mott-Smith, and Warren May sample some of the delicious cuisine.

Between summer showers, the Clothing Collection Committee has met and tweaked the plans for Trinity’s annual clothing give-away - The Clothing Connection. Scheduled for September 14th from 8 until 11 a.m. in Moor Hall, this ministry to our community hopes to build on the success of the past. A light breakfast will be served to our guests at 9:00 a.m.

Giving gets more focusedIn an attempt to be more effective, we

will focus on assisting various agencies with the clothing needs of their clients. Manager s f rom the different social service groups will come to Trinity between 4 and 6:00 p.m. on Friday to r e c e i v e b o x e d clothes based on their needs request. T h e f o l l o w i n g agencies will be

contacted to participate: Allen Outreach, Pace Academy, The Shelter, Dress for Success, Providence Center, Boys Town, Refuge House and Hope Community.

How to helpHow can you as a Trinity Member help?

Please organize your generous gifts of lightly used clothing by size and type and tie in bundles and bring to Moor Hall the week of the event. Clothes brought on hangers

also should be grouped and tied together by size. Our most requested items are: collared men’s shirts, size small, women’s dresses, small and large women’s jeans, winter jackets and coats, shoes.

Children’s booksNew this year will be a Children’s Book

Corner. Please consider an additional donation of a new or gently used book when bringing your clothing.

Monetary gifts needed tooFinancial gifts designated for the Clothing

Connection are welcomed! A monetary donation allows the committee to fill in the clothing gaps and assure the client’s needs are met. Donations also cover publicity costs, socks for each client, the breakfast and other expenses incurred in sponsoring the event. As always, we hope to make wishes come true through you and your gifts.

Trinity is such an active church that often times photos can tell the story better than words. Enjoy the spirit and energy from these smiling and joyful faces on this

Medical Mission to Guatemala 2013 Your mission team for Guatemala is hard

at work preparing for our trip Oct. 19-26. We are fundraising and collecting supplies to take with us. Most of us are also trying to get ourselves in physical shape to make the journey and fulfill our commitment - including getting the appropriate immunizations to keep us healthy while we are there.

Each member of the team pays his/her own way to go on the trip. The funds we raise go straight to our projects. This year, as in years past, we are building a house for a very needy family in the area, running medical clinics and providing dental care in the indigenous villages outside of Panajachel, and providing

VBS and entertainment for the kids. Each medical clinic will see up to 100 people a day. The dental team will see 20-25 men, women, and children each day, and the construction crew will work non-stop to haul building materials uphill, dig footers, mix concrete (by hand), bend rebar (by hand), and hand-pour the foundation for the house. It’s a big order to fill, especially in terms of funding. So, we’re

counting on our Trinity family to support us in this much-needed mission.

The people in Guatemala live in very primitive conditions: mud/cornstalk houses, no plumbing or clean water, and no electricity. Malnutrition and dysentery are common. While we are there, we get to experience first-hand their living conditions and gain a new appreciation of what we take for granted every day. We however, have the luxury of returning to Panajachel each night to a great meal, a hot shower (most of the time), a comfortable bed, and a roof over our heads; something most of the

Guatemalan people have never experienced.

Our mission partner in Panajachel, Guatemala, is Porch de Salomon; you can get more information about them from their website at www.porchdesalomon.org. Partial funding for the medical mission team comes from donations made to the BFC (Become Fit at Church) Exercise program. This is the third year in a row that the BFC program has contributed $1500, and this year

they will also pay for the stove that will be put in the house. A $500 contribution was also made by the Trinity Runners/Walkers Club from their win at the Shamrock Scurry Race on March 9, 2013.

We hope to carry with us the supplies we need to provide medical care to the people, clothing and furnishings (sheets, blankets, towels) for the family whose house we are building, and things to entertain the kids. In addition to cash donations, we need the following:

Medical Team: Adult and children’s vitamins (no gummies, please), aspirin, Tylenol (infants, children, and adults), I b u p r o f e n ( A d v i l , Motrin - children and adults), pre-natal vitamins, folic acid, iron, cough/cold medicines (adults and children), saline eye drops and nose sprays, antifungal creams, diaper rash creams, Tums, Benadryl, Pepto Bismol,

reading glasses (any strength), and antibiotic ointments.

Construction Team: Leather work gloves (S-M-L), children’s clothing and shoes (small

sizes), twin sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillow cases.

VBS: bubbles, stickers, lollipops, nail polish, balls, and small toys.

Donations may be left in the designated box in the Welcome Center. Thank you for your support of this much-needed outreach to the people of Guatemala.

Anyone who has ever participated in one of these mission trips will tell you that they came home a changed person. It is impossible to experience such a level of need and not respond with an open heart and open arms. The Guatemalan people are so appreciative of every little thing we do for them. They show it with their smiling faces and their tears of joy - all they have to give.

“ ….I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

Matthew 25:40

One of the goals each year is the building of a new home for a family in need.

Members of the Mission Team pay their own way. Your donations pay for supplies for the mission.

This young mother waits her turn to get help at the temporary clinic. There’s a great need for medical care in Guatemala.

The local missions committee would like to ask Trinity’s congregation to support ECHO’s Food First Sunday program by contributing boxed Macaroni and Cheese on the first Sunday of each month. ECHO established this program to help keep their food shelves supplied with staples. Various congregations within the community are contributing cereal, canned foods and other staples.

ECHO has provided grocery bags that may

be picked up in the Welcome Center or the Narthex of the sanctuary. These bags will remind you to purchase Mac ‘N Cheese when you go to the grocery store. You may then bring the Mac ‘N Cheese to church in that bag and keep the bag as a reminder for another Mac ‘N Cheese First Sunday.

Of course, you may bring the Mac ‘N Cheese anytime you are at church and place

it in the container marked “Mac ‘N Cheese.” The Mac ‘N Cheese will be delivered to ECHO on the Monday following the first Sunday of the month. This is another way Trinity can feed the hungry and for Trinity to have a “Heart for the City.”

The Shelter Volunteer Appreciation Meeting/Dinner was held Thursday, June 20 in Moor Hall. Steve and Sabrina Denmark, Shelter Meal Volunteer Coordinators were able to thank the volunteers who give of their time to feed the hungry. It was a fun time of fellowship as well as informative.

Our guests included, Jacob Reiter, Acting Director of the Shelter, Sammy Towels, Operations Manager of the Shelter (Jacob’s right hand man), and

two special guests, Naomi and Brenda, who reside at the Shelter. Both Naomi and Brenda shared their experiences on how the Shelter has helped turn their lives around. They are so very appreciative of the involvement and support Trinity gives. Monique Ellsworth, Family Housing Coordinator with the Renaissance Community Center, also attended.

Jacob confirmed that the Shelter will be

moving in the future. The exact time and place has yet been determined. They have just simply outgrown their present facility. The ideal situation would be a huge facility that is of the 21st Century; one that will be a 24 hour comprehensive center, a crisis emergency center and last but not least, one that has a full commercial kitchen so that meal providers can prepare the meals on site.

Jacob and Sammy truly love their jobs, and are dedicated to sustaining, improving and working at The Shelter. You can see it in their eyes and hear it in their voice.

We are grateful that Trinity has chosen to support this Ministry and we are always looking for more volunteers from Trinity to help with this worth ministry.

Aug. 25 is Women in Ministry SundayAs you enter Trinity to worship

on Sunday, Aug. 25, you will be greeted by members of Trinity’s Women in Ministry (a unit of UMW). Not only will they give you a warm welcome but also a brochure telling who they are and what they do. This special Sunday will be a time to celebrate the organization in the workings of the church and provides an opportunity to invite other women of the congregation to join their organization.

What’s importantRestructured a year ago to emphasize the

importance of being involved in a ministry that serves others, the group participated in hunger ministry projects weekly, filling food packs for at-risk school children to take home to feed their families over the weekend, and helping with a Saturday food distribution program with Anderson AME Chapel. The “Kids Against Hunger” project (article pg. 1) is also an outgrowth of the Women in Ministry’s emphasis on eliminating hunger.

While feeding the hungry in the community is this year’s primary focus, Women in Ministry is involved with clothing distribution through the fall Clothing Connection (article pg. 4) and servicing a used clothing bin at the doorway into Moor Hall for ECHO’s program for the needy. It contributes financially to the

Global Missions of the UMC and to several local social service groups.

Monthly luncheon meetings have alternated between first Tuesdays and Sunday noon. Judy Levy, president, plans to use Women in Ministry Sunday to invite working women and stay-at-home mothers to attend the next luncheon meeting after worship service on Sunday, September 8.

Luncheon speaker will be Haley Cutler, director of The Oasis Center for Women and Girls and chair of Leon County’s first Commission on the Status of Women and Girls. She will give a report on a survey of that 52.4% of the county’s population, and how they are impacted by crime and justice, economic security, education, health and mental health, and leadership roles. The next phase of the Commission’s work is to address the findings with concrete recommendations for action.

Reserve your placeThe luncheon is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8, rather

than its regular first Tuesday time, so that working women, young mothers and others will be able to attend. These first time attendees will be guests of the organization. They and current members are all asked to make reservations with Nancy Kerce at 877-6546 by Thursday, Sept. 5.

Filling food packs for hungry local children at Second Harvest is a rewarding way to get involved.
