From the Pastor’s Pen…

Summer is upon us. Baltimore Street (east & west) is still in disarray. We have moved forward in the call process with the commissioning of our Call Committee and we are looking ahead to the activities and programs which will further define our ministry at Trinity as we move into the second half of the year. Summer is no longer a time for lazy days and kicking back waiting for the big push that follows Labor Day (just imagine what getting around Taneytown would be like if the improvements to Baltimore St. were to be suspended for the Summer months.)

Though we may adopt a more relaxed schedule during July and August, there is still much to be done in preparation for Fall. Sure, there will be family vacations and celebrations, these are part of our Summers. But already Christian Ed. Is developing plans for re-vitalizing our Sunday Learning Program (SLP), TCLP is enhancing its pre-school ministry with plans for computers and added hours, Council will take on a new configuration with new members and leadership starting in July and the Call Committee will move deeper into its task of finding the next pastor for Trinity.

So what’s left for the rest of the congregation not directly involved in the projects mentioned above? There are many on-going activities which make up our witness to the community and the world; primary among them is our personal faithfulness to the things to which we have been called by our Lord and our readiness to recognize our responsibility in new opportunities as they are revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. One area of concern I have for Trinity is the need to increase the financial stewardship which supports our ministries. We have been blessed in many ways through the years by the sustaining grace of our Lord, particularly in Jesus Christ who has redeemed us from the power of sin and the condemnation of death. Our response is to make it possible for the witness of His gift of salvation to continue; this will include the calling of a new pastor as well as finding new ways to touch our community and world. How much we put in the offering plate relates to how we count our blessings (include spiritual as well as material blessings.) In 1 Peter 4:10 we read, “As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” Old testament rules suggested tithing as 10% of our resources, but as New Testament (Easter People) we consider also our time and talents as well as our treasure. So where might we begin? Under treasure, determine the percentage of our current offerings and seek to increase by 1% (or more) each year; do the same with our talents and time given in support of ministry for our Lord. Let our stewardship become an expression of our faith journey as we increasingly put our trust in our Lord. May God’s peace continue to guide each of us.

Pastor Charles Frederick, Interim Pastor.

TEACHER TRAINING

The Christian Education Board would like to invite all Sunday Learning Program teachers and TCLP teachers to a Synod-led teacher training the morning of July 11 in the Fellowship Hall. Paula Thistle, an AIM in conjunction with the Synod, has agreed to conduct this helpful workshop. This is for anyone that is now currently teaching or would have a desire to teach our kids this coming SLP year. This training will also be open to all Westminster conference churches. More details will follow as to the exact times, but will most likely be a 3-4 hour session that would conclude around lunchtime.

There will be a secondary training on August 29 for TCLP and Trinity’s teachers only. Other churches in the conference will not be invited to this training. The topics discussed will be more specific to our church and programs. Lynda Gainor has graciously stepped forward to offer her expertise on speaking about age-appropriate developmental abilities. The Board will also be introducing the new rotational curriculum, Sparks. We are really excited about the new material. So please mark your calendars for these two training dates.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Come camping with us at Camp E.D.G.E. during Vacation Bible School this summer. There will be bible stories, games, crafts, snacks, music and of course, FUN!! VBS is a community outreach of Caring and Sharing Ministries. Each year a different church is the lead coordinator. This year the lead church is St. Joseph’s Catholic Church; however, due to Trinity’s size and classroom layout, we are always the host of this wonderful ministry.

VBS is planned for August 3 – August 7 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Registration is for children age 4 through 8th grade. We are looking for teachers again this year as well as helpers. High school age youth are also encouraged to help. It is a fun way to earn service hours. If you attended last year, you will be receiving a registration form in the mail sometime in June. If not, join in the fun this year by pre-registering or registering the first night. Registration forms will be available sometime in June in the narthex. I am excited to share that Mike Makoutz has agreed to be co-coordinator with me this year.

If you are interested in volunteering or have any further questions at this time, please contact me, Sherri Sensabaugh, at 410-756-6054 or grover1013@hughes.net.

During the first week of August Trinity’s mission team - Jim Lane and Marcia Baker -will be heading north to “Cheer” in Ft. Liard in the Northwest Territories of Canada. We will be joined by Carleen Skiles (a former member of Trinity with close ties to our congregation and community). We are one of the many vacation bible school teams that come together from across the USA and Canada to teach bible school in the Northwest Territories through the ministries of On Eagle’s Wings. On Eagle’s Wings is a non-profit, ecumenical organization begun by Pastor Lee Berry (Trinity’s 1st intern) to bring the gospel message to the First Nation’s People of the North.

The community of Ft. Liard (Echaot’l Koe in the original name) is a village of about 600 located 23 miles north of the British Columbia border. We will arrive in Yellowknife on Friday, July 31 and will fly in the On Eagle’s Wing plane to the community of Ft. Liard on Sunday or Monday. Monday, August 3 is a national holiday in Canada so Bible School will begin on Tuesday and finish on Saturday. We will head for home on Sunday, August 9.

The theme of VBS is to teach the children that Caring Hearts Encourage Everyone Right-away - CHEER! We will Cheer with the children as we teach the Old Testament story of the Exodus using a variety of methods, including puppets, acting, crafts, story telling and songs. We thank you for your support of this mission through the funds received at the Soup and Salad luncheon in April and the Thrivent matching funds which help with the cost of airfare and supplies. Due to rising fuel cost and declining contributions each team was asked to pay an additional travel charge and we thank the Adult Sunday School class for Missionary Funds to cover that cost. A special thanks to the Happy Helpers for providing the craft bags for the children to keep their crafts and supplies together during the week and for the handmade blankets and clothing.

We are thankful for all the support received and there are two more opportunities to give. First, teaching supplies are still needed and a list of items will be provided. If you wish to help by donating any of the needed items they will be collected in the kitchen. However, the most important thing you can give is your prayers for the team! Please pray that we will be vessels carrying God’s love and Word to others and being filled with God’s love through the children we teach. Thank you! Jim Lane and Marcia Baker

CARD OF THANKS

I wish to take a moment and say thank you to all the many friends and church family members who sent me cards during my recent convalescence following my surgery. You certainly brightened many a day for me. I also appreciate the phone calls, visits from friends, and inquiries and best wishes you sent to me via Jim. Also thanks for the great BBQ Bev made; that meant Jim did not have to make several meals himself. It is a wonderful church family that I am a part of. I appreciate all of you. Thank you! Thank you!

God’s Work! Our Hands! Miriam Lane

CARING CARROLL

In 2008, Carroll County had an estimated 19,814 residents who are 65 or older. With limited options, many older adults strive to remain in their own homes, but do not have a system of support. These men and women often have trouble finding a way to the grocery store, or even someone to talk to when they are lonely.

As dedicated members of this community, what can you do to help? One option is to partner with Caring Carroll, a faith-based, non-profit organization that provides non-professional, non-medical assistance and companionship through our network of volunteers. We are supported by 11 churches and community organizations that have partnered with us to help promote us and recruit volunteers that offer transportation assistance, errand help, light housekeeping, and friendly visits.

Caring Carroll began in 2005 through a grant project funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and administered by The Partnership for a Healthier Carroll County. Originally named Faith in Action Carroll County Neighbors Helping Neighbors, we accepted referrals from members of the community who were homebound and had no way of accomplishing ordinary tasks - people who sometimes had no human contact for days at a time. We became an independent organization named Caring Carroll in 2007. Since our formation we have been able to help nearly 170 people. Currently, we have 49 active clients, 23 of whom are on a waiting list for help.

Isaiah 46:4 says “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

Caring Carroll believes we are all a part of God’s plan to sustain those who are aging. We would like to invite you to partner with us in doing so. As a Covenant partner, you will represent your congregation at our monthly board meetings and help make decisions that determine our course of action. We will ask you to promote Caring Carroll in your bulletins, website, and announcements so that we can continue to train volunteers from all faiths to help our elderly residents. You can also support us financially through budget inclusions, free-will offerings, and in-kind donations (supplies, gift cards, materials, etc.)

We understand that these are uncertain financial times, and there are many places you could choose to use your funds and invest your time. Please remember the words of Psalm 71:9, and prayerfully consider partnering with us in our efforts to support the elderly residents of our community:

“Do not cast me away when I am old, do not forsake me when my strength is gone.”

Please contact us with any questions or concerns you may have. We look forward to working with you and your congregation to care for our precious community of elders.

Sonia McCarthy

Our Confirmands are writing about their faith journey. To show them what one was like, I thought it would be fun to write about mine.

Here’s Sonia’s earliest memory of being in church:

When I was 2 or 3 years old, I remember being in the church “nursery” and must’ve thrown a “conniption”, because I wanted my Daddy. They took me up to the sanctuary, where my parents were sitting. I was happy, again, and stood on the pew, with my arm around my Dad’s neck. We were on the right side, at the end of the pew, on the aisle. I remember, because the sun started to shine through the stained glass windows and the choir began to sign . . . it was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever heard! It was also the first time I heard something besides Conway Twitty! I couldn’t express how beautiful I thought the whole thing was – I thought they were angels. Tears started to roll down my cheeks (no noise, just tears) and my mouth just hung open. My eyes were as big, as saucers! My Dad kept asking me, “What’s wrong, Sonia? What’s wrong?” If I could’ve articulated it, I would’ve said something like, “Well, if you’d play something besides country music, maybe I wouldn’t think these people were angels, who came down from Heaven, to sing for the church service!”

That’s why I appreciate church choirs, today.

Correction and Clarification “TCLP Board Is Not Boring “

While 35% of Taneytown area children are prepared for kindergarten, all are accepted to Kindergarten. Public School has Pre-K programs for children who turn 4 by September 1^st of the current year. Only those children whose families are qualified get into the program.

TCLP board and staff have been working hard and are purchasing new curriculum for next school year as well as purchasing some new equipment. We are also planning a new technology center. We are working hard to be sure children in our programs are kindergarten ready.

Coming soon – new ways the congregation can work with the TCLP program.

TRINITY CHRISTIAN LEARNING PROGRAM

We would like to thank the families of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church for all their support during this past year and we look for forward to the fall session with new faces and great new ideas on how to share God’s Love.

There are openings in the program. Information about Trinity’s preschool and registration forms can be picked up at the Church office …

or call the office at 410-751-1203.

Science and Nature-------Will It Float?

Children are natural scavengers, so why not make them collectors for a purpose?

Suggest that children look around for things that are expendable------sticks, leaves, stones, egg shells, pencils, straws, Popsicle sticks, aluminum plates, etc.

The objective is to predict whether or not these objects will float. To test predictions, use a large container with water and check floating vs. sinking.

In addition to the actual experience, kids will learn about the words that describe water. For example, you can discuss the different sounds made by water----splashing, bubbling, dripping, roaring, trickling, etc.

How about the way water feels? Hot, cold, lukewarm, icy, fast running, slow running.

What are the various uses of water? To drink, play in, wash clothes, cook with, water gardens, clean windows, or wash the car.

In Christ’s love,

Becky

It’s all about YOU!

It’s not about the money! Too often when we think of stewardship we immediately think of $$... “Oh no, they are asking for more money for the church!” When in fact, it’s not about the money….it’s about YOU - God’s love for YOU and how YOU respond to that love. It’s about God’s plan for YOU, to be His child, to walk in the light and love of His grace and to do so with a sense of joy and understanding of the abundance of blessings God has given to YOU.

Stewardship is a way of life; it’s what YOU do in YOUR life to respond to the love God has for YOU. It’s about how YOU use the elements of creation that God has placed in YOUR care. Stewardship is how YOU use the talents and gifts God gave YOU. Stewardship is a reflection of YOUR heart – For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 12:34

Of course the church needs your support to operate….its your gifts, all of the them, that make the church. Your gifts of time, talent and treasure support all the ministries of the family of Trinity. But more importantly, the sharing of your gifts is a reflection of God presence in your life and how you respond to His blessings. So, what do YOU reflect? – Yes, it really is all about YOU!

By the Sharrer Family

Hey Kids! Here’s something just for you! Each month in the Herald we will feature a special page for you! It will include Bible stories, puzzles, and activities. Have fun!

How did Noah see the animals on the ark at night?

With “flood lights”!

As Chase and Josiah walked along, they saw a penny on the sidewalk. Chase picked it up. "You can't buy much with a penny," he said, "but at least I won't have bad luck today."

"What does a penny have to do with luck?" asked Josiah.

"You know that poem," answered Chase. "See a penny, leave it lay-have bad luck all the day. See a penny, pick it up-all day long you'll have good luck."

"Hah!" scoffed Josiah. "I don't believe in luck. I believe God controls what happens in our lives."

"God?" Chase shrugged. "I suppose He thinks about big things like wars and earthquakes and floods-stuff like that," he agreed, "but I'm sure He can't bother about all the details in all the lives of the millions of people down here on earth."

"He's watching everything," insisted Josiah. "He even watches over little birds."

"You're kidding!" exclaimed Chase. "Where did you hear that?"

"In church," replied Josiah. "It says in the Bible that Jesus knows when every sparrow falls. Hey! Want to come with me to Sunday school this week and hear more about God? You'll like our teacher-he's really nice. We sing some cool songs and have a Bible lesson. Sometimes we play a Bible game-and we have parties and fun times, too."

"Well . . . okay," agreed Chase as they reached his

house. "If Mom will let me. And here . . ." He tossed the coin. "Have a

penny!"

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Do you think "luck" controls your life? Or do you put complete faith in God and trust Him to take care of you? God made the earth and everything in it, including you. He controls all things. He sees and knows about everything, even the little birds. And He cares much more about you.

TODAY'S KEY VERSE:

"Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Matthew 10:31

Patriotic Wind Sock Craft

You can make a patriotic wind sock from an oatmeal box, construction paper, string, and crepe paper streamers.

Supplies needed:

· A cylindrical cardboard oatmeal box · Construction paper (blue and white) · Red and white crepe paper streamers · Glue · String · Scissors · Hole punch

Star Pattern

Cut the bottom off a cylindrical cardboard oatmeal box. Cover the box with blue construction paper and then glue on white construction paper stars.

Cut some red and white crepe paper streamers and glue or staple them to one end of the wind sock.

14

Punch four holes along the top of the wind sock.

Cut two pieces of string about a foot long. Tie the strings to the wind sock (tie the opposite ends of a string to holes on opposite sides of the cylinder). Tie a longer piece of string to the smaller pieces - you'll hang the wind sock from this piece of string. Hang your patriotic wind sock from your window or porch.

Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!!
