January 2019 As we approach a New Year, I pause to consider the end of the old one. It’s been a good year for us at Trinity in many ways. First of all, I offer a word of thanks to everyone who made our most recent celebrations of Advent and Christmas so festive. The liturgical celebrations — starting with Lessons and Carols (and the “low-key high tea”) and ending with our Christmas celebrations were enhanced by so many of you — both in ways seen/heard and in less obvious ways. In early December, we had another wonderful celebration of St. Nicholas Day for the whole congregation. In late December (on Christmas Eve!), a few folks offered a bit of refreshment for the hard-working Choir. Efforts, big and small, that matter to all.

I want to take special note of the efforts of the crew of teachers/leaders who weekly show up in the hopes of having children for Children’s Chapel. They prepare a lesson or activity for children without knowing if they’ll have any takers. We had nine kids here in one Sunday in December to sing a song in church. I was thrilled for us all: leaders and children!

A word on our finances … and more I also thank you all for the financial support you offer for the ongoing life and ministry of our community of faith. We expect that we’ll end the year with a surplus. After many years of deficits, this would be the second year in a row to do so. And that’s good. I thank you for the promises of financial support in 2019, as well. All gifts matter. So I thank you for yours. That said, the Vestry has adopted a budget for 2019 that includes a modest deficit. Our projections are for income to be about the same as in 2018, while some expenses will need to increase. There’s a chance that something may change, but probably not. As a consequence, the Vestry did not consider items I would have liked, such as: salary increases; setting funds aside for future capital needs/improvements; support for theological education. We’ll offer more information on all of this — as well as other news related to this year’s Annual Meeting — during our weekly forums, meeting in Brooks Hall between the morning services each Sunday. Please join us. Join the conversation!!

Senior Warden’s Report Joan Wellman

December, the end of a year, and January, the start of a new calendar year, makes me pause and reflect what has been accomplished, what is good, what needs some more attention, and what does 2019 bring in anticipation of Trinity’s presence in our lives and the community. Counting our blessings seems simple but do we do it often enough…….take a pause, sit in quietness, look around, really take stock of who and what we are. At our Vestry meetings, we always start with some reflection time before heading into business matters. It is an opportunity to take a deep breath, quiet our souls from a busy day, and care for one another. Vestry is teamwork with divergent opinions resulting in agreements because we are committed with our love for Trinity. December’s meeting was spent looking at the budget for 2019. As in our own lives with insurance premiums rising, utility bills increasing, etc., the budget is held tight on expenses. Participation in Stewardship was constant reflecting in estimated income. The Finance Committee presented a detailed budget for the Vestry to approve. Hard work has been done by all to ensure Trinity is healthy and growing. At our annual meeting on January 27th, lunch will be served at St. Helens Hall after the 10:15 a.m. service followed by the business required starting a new calendar year. Jim Allen, Jeannette Beeger, Julie Lear, and Donna Young will be retiring with our deepest appreciation for all they have brought to the Vestry over the past three years. The candidates to replace them will be confirmed by the Clerk of the Vestry and their biographies are provided for you on the following pages. Karen Hauswald, Junior Warden (my cohort), and I will also be stepping down to allow new ideas and energy in the warden positions. We are both grateful and thank you for your support these past years. Welcome to a New Year Many things are planned already in 2019. I encourage you to mark your personal calendars in advance with the events planned. If you haven’t attended the free Second Sunday Cinema movie, come some time. Kake Huck has selected films that have great messages. Epiphany Potluck dinner is the 6th, Women’s Potluck dinner is on the 24th, Trinity Women’s Retreat in March, Men’s Breakfast at the end of each month are just a few to mention. I also encourage you to think about participating in one of our fine ministries that contribute to the life of our church. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year AND a welcome to you who have come in 2018.

Amendment to the Parish Bylaws

At this year’s Annual Meeting, voting members of the congregation will be asked to approve two amendments to the parish bylaws. These bylaws were last amended at the Annual Meeting of 2014. The proposed changes do not actually establish any changes in the ongoing practices of the congregation. They do aim to bring the bylaws into agreement with current practices and canons of the Episcopal Church. Preview of the 2019 Annual Meeting On January 20 and 27, our weekly adult forum (meeting between the morning liturgies in Brooks Hall) will provide a preview of this year’s Annual Meeting. The January 20 session will focus particularly on parish finances and the 2019 operating budget. As part of that presentation, we will review the reasons behind the proposed amendments. Text of the proposed amendments In the meantime — and In accordance with our provisions for the amendment of our bylaws — the text of these amendments is provided below. (Note: the formatting below follows the form in the existing bylaws.) ARTICLE 15 (SECTION G): Necessary Business:

Delete the following sentence: “The financial budget for the ensuing year shall be submitted for approval.”

Amend Section G to read: At each annual parish meeting, in addition to whatever other business the Rector or the Vestry may direct to be brought forth, the Treasurer shall submit a complete statement of his/her accounts for the past year, in-cluding the budget adopted by the Vestry for the coming year.

ARTICLE 10: TREASURER Rename the ARTICLE 10 from “TREASURER” to “FINANCE” Rename SECTION A: “POWERS AND DUTIES” to “POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TREASURER” Add SECTION C: FINANCE COMMITTEE:

1. Organization The Finance Committee shall consist of the Treasurer, the Rector, and a minimum of two other members of the parish appointed by the Vestry, including the Assistant Treasurer, if there be one. Ideally, one of the members should be a member of the Vestry.

2. Committee’s Purpose and Responsibilities The Finance Committee’s overall purpose and responsibilities have been defined in the document “Finance Committee Purpose and Responsibilities,” approved by the Vestry.

3. Budget The Finance Committee shall submit to the Vestry each year a budget setting forth an estimate of an-

ticipated income and the expense for carrying out the work of the parish and each of its parts for the ensuing year. Such proposed budget shall be in a form satisfactory to the Vestry, covering such items and making such projec-tions as the Vestry shall deem appropriate.

The Vestry shall adopt a budget for the forthcoming year prior to the time of the yearly parish meeting. The budget, when adopted, shall be sufficient authority for payment of any sum appropriated by the budget and/

or of any amendments made to the budget. The Vestry may amend the budget from time to time during the year upon recommendation of the Rector. The

Rector and/or the Chair of the Finance Committee may give interim approval of budgetary changes involving no changes in budgetary policy.

Nominees for the 2019 Vestry

As reported in the November issue of The Trinity Trumpet, the Vestry formed a Nominating Committee for the purpose of selecting nominees to fill four vacancies on our Vestry. Members of this year’s committee are Jeannette Beeger, Chris Bell, Julie Lear, Karen Hauswald, and Jed Holdorph. In addition to notice in the monthly newsletter, they invited members of the congregation to offer suggestions by way of verbal and written announcements on Sunday mornings in November. As required by our parish bylaws, the committee provided a list of qualified nominees to the Vestry in December. Those nominees are Mark Williams, Greg Hedger, Bill Carrington, and Paula Pyron. Mark Williams Background Information My wife Kaitlin and I have been in Central Oregon for about 3 years this December after moving from Anchorage Alaska. We are expecting our first child - a boy, who is anticipated to arrive January 2019. I’m originally from Eastern Idaho while my wife is from Northern Navada. I work for St. Charles as a family physician. We live and work in Redmond. We have been at Trinity for about 2 years. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity provides essential spiritual growth, a warm community, and cultural relevancy. The more traditional worship styles and challenging messages help my wife and I grow in our relationship with God. The community at Trinity is a place to come and feel welcomed while receiving the support and encouragement we need. Through Trinity we find opportunities to serve and meet the needs of our neighbors. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? I see the vestry as a way to serve and contribute to the community that has been so important for my family. By partici-pating in the vestry I hope to foster the values that make Trinity a place to meet God and see His people in action. Greg Hedger Background Information I moved to Bend 3 years ago this December and immediately joined Trinity. I remarried two years ago and am devoted to my beautiful wife Diana and my three stepsons. I have a daughter (28) and son (32) in Phoenix and three grand-daughters (2,4,6 yrs old). I love the outdoors and am an amateur triathlete (2x Ironman finisher). I also love the arts and music. Professionally, I'm an environmental, health and safety professional providing health and safety management support to one of the largest environmental services companies in the United States. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity to me is my spiritual home. I was raised in the Episcopal Church in Phoenix, Arizona. The church and my faith has been a constant in my life. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? I decided that now was a good time to get more involved and "give back" to the church in terms of service to the church now that I'm settled into my new home here at Trinity. My parents have been such a great example of service to the church, even in their mid-eighties! I also just recently joined the snow-patrol team at Trinity as well.

Nominees for the 2019 Vestry

William (Bill) Carrington Background Information I was born in Cortland, N.Y., a small college town near Syracuse, and raised in the Presbyterian Church. I have two brothers, and the three of us have been involved in music most of our lives. IAt age 12 I was hired to play for early Sunday morning services for nurses from the local hospital. This began a lifetime career as an organist and later choirmaster. After college, I accepted a position as organist/choir master at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Pomona, Ca. I later fell in love with one of my choir members, Linda, and we were married in 1973. We enjoyed 42 wonderful years together and had one son, Britten. In 2013 I retired and was honored by the Vestry of St. Mark’s and Bishop Mary Glasspool with the honorary title of Director of Music and Organist Emeritus. The school honored me with a scholarship fund in my name. What does Trinity mean to me? In 2015 my wife passed after a long battle with cancer. My son and his family encouraged me to move to Bend to be near them, and, in the spring of 2017, I made the move. In June of that year I visited Trinity and, after receiving a warm welcome, I decided to make it my home parish. At Trinity I feel not only God’s love, but the love of the church mem-bers for each other, the community, and the world at large. We are a very giving church. It’s a church that meets many of my spiritual needs, and I am proud to be a part of it. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? The Episcopal churches that I have worked at have been very good to me and my family. They have provided us with steady income as well as much love and support. Now that I am retired and have lots of time for volunteer work, I would like the opportunity to use my knowledge, skills and experiences in working with the church and its vestries to give back. I am especially interested in helping us to become an even more welcoming community and encourage the development of more programs for young families. Paula Pyron Background Information I am a retired energy lawyer, having practiced for 35 years in Oklahoma and Oregon. I retired as an attorney in Oregon when we moved to Bend from Lake Oswego during the 2016 Snowpocalypse, which is also when we joined Trinity. I am happily married to David Childers for 28 years so far, with 27 of those in Oregon. We have six children between us, and now eight grandchildren. I like cooking, reading good books, gardening, travel and learning golf for fun. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity provides me with a church home for this new phase of my life. Trinity gives me a place for grounding and un-derstanding my faith in God and gives me a stronger sense of community in Bend. In addition to rounding out my per-sonal attempts at some spiritual education, Trinity gives me some volunteer opportunities that I enjoy. I was raised Southern Baptist and chose to be an Episcopalian as a young adult. I wanted a church home in which I felt more com-fortable and in which I wanted to raise my two daughters. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? David and I are both cancer survivors, and having experienced God’s grace with another major health scare this year after a major concussion, I had a lot of time to think about my priorities and what I do with my time, i.e., I had a lot of thinking time when I wasn’t allowed to do anything else while I healed. I know that Trinity is a church community that I want to help sustain and grow. I am seeking to serve the vestry now as I want to prioritize some of my volunteer efforts here.

Epiphany falls on Sunday, January 6th this year so we are planning a potluck lunch in Brooks Hall following the 10:15 service. We will need 10 people to volunteer to bring a large pot of soup to share. We ask that the rest of you bring a salad or bread. These may be dropped off in the kitchen before the service. Remember as we celebrate the arrival of the Kings following the star, you will have a chance to draw out your own star with your word for the year and maybe share how your word from last year played a part in your life. We will have cake, of course, and maybe you will be the lucky winner of the dime, the baby or the thimble. Please contact Julie Lear, 541-389-2490, if you would be willing to bring soup.

Spiritual Companions is a small group of people who meet together monthly to share how their personal life reflects their spiritual journey. We usually meet the first Tuesday of the month at 1:30 pm in the small chapel. Since the first Tuesday of January this year is January 1, 2019 we will meet on the second Tuesday, January 8th. This meeting is usually closed to new members to facilitate trust, but we are inviting anyone who might be interested to join us, either January 8th or February 5th to see if they would like to be part of the group. Questions: call Celine Burke 541-728-1224 or Peggy Ziegler, 541-388-1138

On Saturday, January 12, from 9:00-11:30 am, Marianne Borg and Bill Ellis will “continue the conversation.” This month they will explore MYSTICISM; why it might not only be important but imperative to reexamine and redefine it. At best mysticism has been considered an experience of union with ultimate reality. More pejoratively it has been considered esoteric, occult, supernatural, nebulous, fuzzy, privatized. Albeit a realm available to “religious specialists,” which excludes most of us. We want to unfetter the “mystical experience” from “secret” or “hidden” knowledge and bring it into the every day. Where we experience it. Come join in the conversation! All are welcome. This is a free event opportunity.

Second Sunday Cinema — Sunday, January 13th Kake Huck

Our January movie will be Amazing Grace (2006), a film about the anti-slavery move-ment in England in the late 18th Century. The film focuses on the life of William Wilberforce, leader of the English abolitionist movement. Its title refers to the famous hymn which was penned by John Newton, a slave ship captain.

The film shows on Sunday, January 13, at 6 pm, in St. Helen's Hall. As always, movies are introduced by retired professor Kake Huck who leads a discussion following. Free Popcorn!

This winter, groups all over our community will be reading White Fragility, by Robin Diangelo. This will be the 4th annual series, sponsored by COCC, Trinity's Peace and Social Justice Team, and other community groups, observing the worldwide season of nonviolence and created to aid us in reflecting personally on the challenge of racism in today's environment. White Fragility helps us understand white guilt and awkwardness, how it protects racial inequality and what we can do to engage more fully. Books are available at a discount, for $12.80, by asking at the desk at Dudley's on Minnesota. There is no other cost for participating. Book Group at Trinity: beginning on Wednesday, January 16th Our group at Trinity, facilitated by Betsy Warriner, we will meet Wednesday afternoons, 2:30-4 pm, for six weeks, from January 16 through February 20. If you are interested, please contact [email protected] (and if this time doesn't work for you, please ask me about the other groups). Come join our community reading, conversing, and learning opportunity. Meet the author: Wednesday and Thursday, January 30th and 31st To enlighten our conversation, the author will be speaking at Central Oregon Community College (COCC) the evening of January 30, and giving a workshop there on the morning of January 31.

Thank you, members of the Prayer Shawl Ministry for your generous gifts of time, resources, and caring support to this Ministry in reaching out to touch those who are facing challenges and could use some good cheer, a ray of hope, warmth, and comfort. Please SAVE THE DATE- JANUARY 17 for our next gathering. Until then, please keep on knitting, creating these prayerful gifts of grace in our shawls! May we all have a blessed Holiday Season! We have a wonderful assortment of shawls appropriate for both men and women ready for giving.

We have some GOOD NEWS FOR THE TRINITY FAMILY! But first, there’s this: -Yes, you know that elevated blood pressure is a silent killer (1 in 3 American adults has elevated blood pressure.) -Yes, you know there are no warning signs or symptoms (but, do you know your numbers and what they mean?) Within our Trinity family we have some outstanding, qualfiied people who are volunteering to make sure we ARE in-formed and seeking any follow-up indicated!! Please thank: Emily Berry MD, Kaitlin Leck MD, Mark Williams MD, Carol Luther, and Mary Fellows. We will now be providing blood pressure screening each SECOND SUNDAY of the month between the two services. Come to the open reception area next to Fr. Jed’s office each month and you will be seen by one of these wonderful people and be able to say YES, you know your numbers!

It’s hard to believe it’s almost 2019! I hope everyone had a joyful Christmas Season with family and friends. Please plan to join the women of Trinity at our quarterly potluck on Thursday, January 24th, 2019. We will gather at 5 for fellowship and eat about 5:30. Please bring a salad or dessert to share. Beverages and bread/rolls will be provided. We will be reviewing the very successful activities organized in 2018 and planning our activities/events for 2019. Re-member our Retreat is already on the calendar for March 8-10! Please bring your calendars, ideas and your willingness to help coordinate an activity! One of our very popular events last year was to prepare, serve and share a meal with the young mothers at Grandma’s House. As a result of the interest shown last September, we have an opportunity to establish a regular schedule for providing meals to Grandma’s House on one Wednesday per month on the 2019 calendar. It is proposed that we estab-lish teams of 4-6 women who would provide a meal once per month. If we have four teams, each team would serve 3 times over the year. If we have more teams or fewer teams, the number of times per year would adjust accordingly. There will be an opportunity to sign up for a team at the potluck. Questions? Bring them on the 24th or contact Jane at [email protected]. Please RSVP to [email protected] by January 21st .

2019 Trinity Women’s Retreat — March 8th - 10th Cris Craig and Gail Webber

Please save the date! All Trinity Women are invited to attend the 2019 Women’s Retreat at the pic-turesque Powell Butte Retreat Center. If you are new to Trinity, or just “exploring”, you are invited to join us! This will be a weekend of spiritual learning and sharing in a beautiful and private setting. If you’d like to take a break from your daily routine, make some new friends, recharge your batteries and refresh your spirit, then this Retreat is for you. The Retreat program “On Holy Ground” will be an exploration of the four elements: Earth, Water, Air and Fire and how our experience with these elements influences our individual spirituality. The program will be led by Helen Keefe of Sisters, Oregon. Helen has a Master’s degree in Pastoral Studies, a Master’s degree in Social Work and is certified in Spiritual Direction. The weekend will in-clude time for group discussion, worship, creativity and quiet reflection. If you love to sing, you are also welcomed to join the Retreat Choir. The Choir will rehearse during the weekend and will sing at the closing Eucharist on Sunday morning. No prior experience necessary. Registration information will be available in January and registration tables will be set up in Brooks Hall during the month of February. For more information, please contact Cris Craig at 360-689-7810 or Gail Webber at 914-263-9063. For the Retreat Choir, please contact Sue McWilliams at 541-419-2357.

Let us tell you about our friend Donna Noyes. On November 24th, at the age of 86, Donna passed away in her sleep. Donna was a world traveler. She used to comment that it was difficult to find a part of the world she had not already visited. Maybe this was why she gravitated toward our work in Nicaragua. Donna was an enthusiastic supporter of the Condega Project. Even though she was not a member of Trinity, she never missed a Condega Project meeting. Donna traveled with us to Condega on three separate occasions. She was an amazing traveling companion. She was diabetic, but never let this stop her. In her professional life Donna was a dietician. She knew how to take care of her dietary requirements, but when in Nicaragua she ate foods we avoided. On one trip she paid the price for her adven-turist eating habits. She just thought this part of the price you paid for getting to know a different culture. Donna lived simply. Her own needs were modest. Rather than spend money on expensive houses, furniture or cars, she used her money to travel and generously support causes she believed in. Donna cared about the world she was so fortunate to travel in. Unlike some world travelers, she saw poverty and was moved to help. We have no idea how many programs she supported, but we do know she generously supported the Trinity Condega Project. She also did such things as finance the Heifer Project in Condega, purchase tires for the Condega fire trucks and buy protective equipment so the Condega firemen could remove killer bee nests. Donna Noyes was an amazing lady who had an impact on our lives. She greatly expanded our vision of the world. She taught us there are no limits to the human spirit if you will yourself to test your limits. We will never be able to keep up with Donna’s example of how to live a good life, but we’ll keep trying. Thanks for being part of our lives Donna.

2019 Annual Meeting

Sunday, January 27, 2019 directly following the 10:15 service

We’ll offer a review of 2018 … the successes and the disappointments, as we thank those retiring from the Vestry;

We’ll look ahead to 2019 … the opportunities and the challenges,

as we elect new folks who will offer leadership for our future.

Join us for this annual event — and the light lunch we will provide!
