I write this in the after-glow of the Renewal of Ministry on Saturday, June 9 (see photos, pages 4-5). The service did ex-actly what it was intended to do: renew our common commit-ment to ministry as you, the congregation, welcomed me as your new rector.
The choir, Dr. Deaver, the Trinity Brass Ensemble and the bluegrass duo of Tony and Natty Powell all provided wonderful music. Linda Young, our Associ-ate Rector, preached a fine ser-mon (available on our website).
Chuck Scheper, the mayor of Covington, surprised us all by issuing a proclamation, with the City Commissioners concurring: June 9, 2012, was Peter D’Angio Day in the City of Covington — in reality, June 9 was Trinity Episcopal Church Day in the city.
Finally, I was especially thrilled that Bishop Knudsen confirmed Smokey Clay and Chris Southard, adding to the richness of the day.
All in all, it was a day of excitement, laughter, conversa-
tion and relationship. We strengthened old ties and estab-lished new ones. Thanks to all of you, those present that day and those absent, those inside Trinity and beyond it, who made the day possible.
Now, the question on the tip of many people’s tongues is: “What next for Trinity?” The Vestry will take some time this summer to consider this — not to produce concrete answers, but to get a collective sense of where Trinity is headed.
Vestry members will share the fruit of this considera-tion with committees, commis-sions and parish organizations, who will consider how to shape programs based on this.
For many congregations summer functions as downtime; members pleasantly drift
through the long, warm days, waiting for “normal” life to re-sume in September. Not so here at Trinity. July brings three op-portunities. First, on Sunday, July 9, we will be visiting General Conven-tion, being held in Indianapolis. Watch the website for details. Next, Trinity sponsors Reading Camp the week begin-ning Monday, July 16. We wel-come volunteers as we help chil-dren improve their skills, and more importantly, capture the love of reading that has infected many of us. Last, on Reading Camp’s heels, we will host Vacation Bi-ble School for the children of Trinity and the other Episcopal parishes in Northern Kentucky. We will gather in the evenings from Sunday, July 22, to Thurs-day, July 26. Our (literary) theme is “Aslan is on the Move,” based on C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Come join us in Narnia! I wish you all a blessed July as we commemorate the found-ing of our country.
In Christ, The Rev. Peter D. D’Angio

Scheper Family Benefit Saturday Sept. 29, 2012
The Marquise Wilder, Kentucky
Please plan to attend a Benefit/Fundraiser for the Scheper family. This event is to assist the family with the pur-chase of physical thera-py equipment which will enhance and strengthen Kevin’s re-habilitation and better his quality of life. More information and details will follow. How you can help leading up to the event: If you have a busi-ness, contacts in the community, have items you can donate or are willing to solicit others for items for the silent and live auctions, please contact Donna Deal, 859-363-1544, or Julie Wharton, 859-394-4634. If you would like to help in any other way, please contact one of the committee mem-bers. For those who know they will be unable to attend the Benefit, do-nations may be sent to:
Scheper Family Benefit
℅ Arohanui Bender
802 Ashfield Court
Edgewood, KY 41017
Steering Committee: Tony & Amy Milburn, Andrew Piaskowy, Mike & Arohanui Bender.
Imagine being a twenty-five-year-old paralyzed from the upper chest down from a random bullet in your back. Imagine having two working parents who love you so much they are rebuilding your part of the house so you can live at home with your family rather than with strangers at an institution. Imagine day after day in which Champ, your black Labrador, is your best friend and constant companion.
This has been the life of Kevin Scheper since he was shot while driving his car in a Cincinnati sub-urb in November 2011. There are days of depression and days of hope. Much of the hope comes from the special room his parents are build-ing to give him more opportunity to move around, change his body posi-tion, and be as independent as pos-sible in meeting his personal needs. Hope also comes from the physical and occupational therapy at Drake Hospital that is helping him improve his muscle strength and control his limited motion in his hands and arms. Hope also comes in the form of innovative medical devices con-tinually being developed to help in-dividuals in situations such as his. This is where you can help.
Kevin loved to ride bikes and feel the wind against his face and through his hair. You can’t ride a regular bicycle if you can’t move your legs. But hand-cycles are now available that you can “pedal” by moving your hands. Kevin does not yet have enough motion or strength in his hands and arms to ride such a bike, but with therapy and with the help of special “grippers” that enable him to apply what strength he does have, that day will come. A hand-bike costing between $2,000 and $3,000 would make a huge differ-
ence in the quality of his life. We can donate money that would help to purchase one when he is well enough to use it.
Kevin sometimes can sit in his wheel chair and write very slowly and deliberately at his desk. He is unable, however, to stand straight up. He would be able to stand up with the help of a “stander.” This is a kind of convertible wheel chair with a lever that turns the chair into a back support that allows you to stand at a tray while you eat, read, or watch TV. A “stander” adds great variety to a life in which you are spending most of each day either ly-ing down or sitting down in a single room. It is also very important to your leg muscles, and your general body health, to be able to stand up and balance your weight over your whole body. A good “stander” costs in the range of $2,000.
These are two examples of innovative devices that would great-ly improve Kevin’s quality of life. Many kinds of smaller adaptive de-vices are required to help him with such daily tasks as eating, writing, computer use, and grasping or pick-ing up objects. Maybe some day we will see Kevin walking in one of those “exo-skeletons” currently be-ing developed for wounded warriors who have lost the use of their legs.

Reading Camp is just a few days away, July 16-20. As the Steering Com-mittee completes those last minute tasks for another great week, we want to re-mind you that there is a job for every volunteer during the camp. Teachers, counselors, kitchen staff, or readers, whatev-er your interest or ability, we can use you.
Can’t come for the full week of camp? You can still vol-unteer for two days, one day, a half day, even an hour. Don’t forget to regis-ter as a volunteer by signing on to the Reading Camp Website at www.readingcamprocks.org/volunteer/apply. We need your application as soon as possible.
If you cannot attend camp, there are many other ways you can help:
Crafty? Creative? Do you spend more time on Pinterest than you care to admit? We have picked a great theme this year: “The Chronicles of Narnia” We need your help in creating this magical realm for the
kids! Our decorating party will be held the Saturday before camp: July 14, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. We bring the supplies, you bring your im-agination! For more infor-mation contact Katharine Piaskowy at katharinepi-askowy @gmail.com or Na-talie Gabbard at natgabbard @yahoo.com.
Write letters to camp-ers. Children love to re-ceive mail while at camp. To personalize letters, con-tact Gee Gaither at [email protected] for names of campers.
Donate a book. Each camper takes home a satch-el of books. These can be donated all the way up to the last day of camp.
For more information on any of the volunteer oppor-tunities for Reading Camp or the volunteer application process, please contact Katharine Piaskowy at katharine [email protected] or Natalie Gabbard at [email protected].
And remember…..
READING ROCKS!
To read a book for the first time is to make an ac-quaintance with a new friend; to read it for a second time is to meet an old one. ~ Chinese saying
The ECW would like to extend a sincere appreciation to everyone for their dona-tions to the United Thank Offering. Trinity collected approximately $1,500 from the May UTO. This money will be sent to the Diocese of Lexington to use as they see appropriate. Thanks again.
Peggy Lietzenmayer
A big thank you to Robert Edwards, Bob and Donna Deal, Brenda Israel, Barb Baglien, Mary Ann Weiss and Gay Smith for helping with the mulching and pruning in the gardens. I would also like to thank those who come to work on their own. We have been blessed with such beautiful gar-dens and it requires quite a bit of work to keep them looking nice. During the summer, we will continue to have a work day once a month to keep the gar-dens looking beautiful. I will post this on the website and send an email to my wonderful volunteers. We receive many compliments from our daily visitors to the gardens and they are a beautiful ministry to our com-munity. Thank you,
Emery Schmidt, Garden Chair
Punch in the Garden is a sum-mertime tradition at Trinity. Every-one is invited to gather for punch, cookies and conversation in the gar-den or May room following the 10:00 a.m. service.
Supplies are provided by Nur-ture Commission, but hosts/hostesses are needed to prepare and serve. Will you please consider volunteering for one Sunday during the summer? Sign-up sheets are on the hall table. If you have any questions, contact Lois Mescher at 859-331-1965. Thank you.

Our very own Rev. Linda Young was the meditation lead-er at the annual Women’s Weekend at the Cathedral Do-main. Linda discussed women of the Old Testament and in-cluded sessions on Esther, Eve, and Ruth and Naomi. Everyone agreed that Linda made each session interesting and thought provoking. About 25 women from Trini-ty joined other women in the Diocese for this weekend of spiritual renewal and fellow-
ship. Friday evening began with a Eucharist and Healing service led by Bishop Chilton. The weekend ended with a Closing Eucharist at the Cathedral of St. George, which included music from the “Trinity Trio.” The Women's Weekend is always scheduled the weekend after Mother's Day, so plan to join us next year, May 17-19, 2013.

Candidates for the next Bishop of Lexington Following are brief, edited biographies of the five candi-dates to be the next Bishop of the Diocese of Lexington, as presented by the Nominating Committee. There is an addi-tional process by which candi-dates may be nominated by pe-tition. As of Chimes press time, no additional candidates had emerged from that process. A week of “walkabouts” has been scheduled for the candi-dates. They will be in Northern Kentucky on Tuesday, July 31. A public pot luck supper is scheduled for Grace Episcopal Church in Florence. Watch church publications and/or websites for details. The election of the bishop will be Aug. 18. Casting ballots for Trinity will be Jean Brann, Natalie Gabbard, Shannon Ge-meinhardt and Hilda Weaver. For additional information about the candidates, visit the Diocesean website at diolex .org/bishop7/candidates.
Aslan’s on the move! After being evacuated from World War II-torn London, the four Penvesie chil-dren, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy find themselves living in an isolated man-sion deep in the English countryside owned by a mysterious old professor. While exploring their new surroundings, the children discover that an old ward-robe in the professor’s spare room trans-ports them to Narnia, an enchanted land occupied by talking ani-mals and mythical creatures and ruled by the evil White Witch Jadis, who makes it always winter but never Christmas. There is hope for Narnia, however. Aslan is on the move. Since its publication in 1950, C.S. Lewis’ beloved novel, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe has delighted children and adults alike. More than a simple fantasy, Lewis intended this book as “an unconscious preparation of the imagination” for un-derstanding the Christian narrative and its themes of for-giveness, sacrifice, faith and love. From the betrayal of Edmund to the triumphant return of Aslan, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe reads as an extended allegory for Christ’s ultimate conquest over evil and death and what that means for even the smallest among us. This summer Trinity Episcopal Church is proud to present “Aslan is on the Move,” a Vacation Bible School program based on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Between 5:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 22,, through Thursday, July 26, Trinity Church will be transformed into the magical kingdom of Narnia. All rising K through rising 6th grade students are invited to share a grand adventure that will take them into the wardrobe, through the enchanted forest to the ancient castle of Cair Para-vel. Through interactive teachings, exciting games and crafts, and chance encounters with Narians like Mr. Tumnus and even Aslan himself, campers will learn about Christian values like friendship, forgiveness and caring for one another. To register your child for “Aslan is on the Move,” pick up a form at Trinity or visit trinitychurchcovky.com. Feel free to invite a friend. There is a separate registration form for junior and sen-ior high students who would like to serve as counselors during Vacation Bible School.
