MUSINGS AND AMUSINGS FROM THE PASTOR
Iam pleased to report that Trinitys Personnel Committee and Sessionhave authorized a three month sabbatical for me from April 15 July
15. I have some definite ideas as to how Id like to spend this won-
derful opportunity.
First of all, my sabbatical will be a time for extended learning. I anticipate
taking a few courses, seminars, and workshops both in and out of town,
with emphasis on What makes a healthy church in the 21st century? For
example, there is a course entitled The Leader-Coach offered at a local
seminary. In addition, I anticipate a generous dose of reading and reflec-
tion. I have a large assortment of books purchased and not yet read cover-
ing a range of fiction and scholarly and spiritual studies. All will provide
ideas germane to my ministry here at Trinity, and as such will be useful as
possible sermon illustrations and topics.
The second part of the sabbatical will be for personal and spiritual renewal.
I look forward to a time of re-charging my batteries, nurturing and
strengthening my faith, discerning any new gifts from God, and deepening
the relationships with my family which has always lived with a man who has
been gone many hours and nights of the year because of church business.
I anticipate that this time of renewal will allow me to rest in Gods grace
and restoration; I will also be able to worship in situations where I am not
the leader. Im trusting this will equip me with a fresh vision and vigor fo
the continuing demands of the pastorate and the ministry Trinity is destined
to accomplish in the future.
The third piece of the sabbatical involves a time of rest. Simply being out
of the office, away from phones and not on call for the first time in 30
years will be revitalizing. In addition, disengaging from my regular tasks
will provide opportunities for doing some things I have always wanted to do
such as short-story writing and focusing more on my health with such ac-
tivities as exercising (running, tennis) on a more regular basis.
My sabbatical leave is an extension of the Biblical concept of a Sabbath day
as well as a Sabbath year for renewal. Ideally, I hope that the congrega-
tion would see this period of time not just for my Sabbath leave, but the
congregations Sabbath leave as well; a time for their corporate reflection
and developing their own personal growth as well as new ideas of lay minis-
try. Above all, I am deeply appreciative and grateful to the Personnel Com-
mittee, session and congregation for this generous once-in-a-career oppor-
tunity for me.

Mexico Mission
The Trinity youth is planning a mission trip through Inter Cambio to Mexico this summer. The dates will be
from June 13-20. The deadline to sign up for this trip is in early February. Interested adults are also wel-
come to sign up. Please see Carmen or Sue Bergeron for more details.
Ski Trip
The weekend of Feb 20-22, the Trinity Youth are going to spend two nights skiing and snowboarding at
Welch Village. The youth did this last year as well and had a wonderful time! We are looking forward to
the new backbowl that has just been added this winter. If anyone is not yet signed up but interested,
please see Carmen, as there may be a way to add you to our trip!
Feed My Starving Children
On Friday, Jan. 16, the Trinity Youth spent time at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan, MN, filling bags
and boxes full of food such as rice and oats that will go to places in the world like Africa and other third
world populations. Feed My Starving Children has three Twin Cities locations, and has nights when the
general public can do a walk-in to support the cause. Each walk-in lasts 2.5 hours and children and
adults alike can volunteer. To find out more information visit the groups website at:
http://www.fmsc.org.
Cinnamon Rolls
The Trinity youth are selling cinnamon rolls to earn money for missions and youth fellowship. Sign-up
sheets for the cinnamon rolls are in the welcome room. The sale will be on Jan. 25 and Feb. 8. Rolls will
sell for $1. Pastry-lovers will enjoy this along with anyone else that craves baked goods fresh from the
oven! Rolls will be served and sold in the fellowship hall.
Pizza Fundraiser
The Trinity youth have been working hard to find a perfect fundraiser, and theyve found it at last. The
Pizza Fundraiser, tentatively scheduled for March 14, will offer pizza from three local favorite chains, as
well as 1919 Root Beer fresh from the keg, and Coldstone Creamery ice cream to top it all off. Tickets will
be on sale in advance at Trinity, and will be marketed to the general public. Invite your friends! This will
be a dinner you wont want to miss!

2009 YANKEE SWAP
We all receive gifts that are
totally unexpected and perhaps
undesired. Theyre gifts thatfall below some social thresh-
old that makes re-gifting such
things absolutely out of the
question, at least if you are to
remain friends to the recipient.
Yet, every year, several Trinity
members gather together to
share food, fun and awful gifts
with each other. This year was
definitely one for memorablegifts.
Susan Rooney started off the
opening of the gifts by choos-
ing one of the most beautifully
wrapped packages. Unfortu-
nately for her (and Tom, and
perhaps Megan) it contained an
absolutely hideous monkey-
lamp (which to the surprise of
everyone, the lamp works, and
she took it home.) Apparently
the monkey-lamp has been
spruced up; ask Susan to see
the before and after photos.
Tom Rooney picked up this
years best headwearperfect
to the remainder of winter with
this fabulous chicken hat,
which like a good sport he im-
mediately decided to wear. For
tunately for Tom, Joa Sevlie
decided the chicken hat was
something she just couldnt live
withoutand so Mr. Rooney did
not leave the swap with this
new, distinguished hat and
ended up with a rather nice leather wrapped backgammon set. Better luck next year, Tom!
Julie Wright had the misfortune to pick a Trojan salad spinner, something which she actually was excited
about using, when she noticed that tucked inside of the bowl was the infamous polka dot nighty.

As fetching as it is, I dont doubt
itll be the most sought after prize
of the bunch in next years swap
party.
And although there seemed to be
a slight tilt toward underthings as
gifts, Barb Freeman collected
what is perhaps the most
luxurious apron your humble
author has ever seen.
Bedecked in fur, the card
attached to this apron assures the
wearer that it will become a
cherished heirloom to be handed
down from generation to
generation. Something to
consider putting in the will
certainly.
Although not pictured, Roger and
Judy Punt took home a stunning art
piece which depicts Jesus in the midst
of an ocean of seashells. This object
rested on the Thiess mantle for the
past year. Despite claims to the
contrary, Steve seemed a touch
regretful to be losing this one-of-a-kinddevotional from his familys home
decor.
Thanks to Dan and Barb Freeman for
hosting the swap meet at their house.
Trinity members did not disappoint in
the food department, bringing
everything from baked brie to a
sumptuous chocolate cake to share. The
food was definitely better than the
presents offered!
If you didnt make this years swap
meet, plan to attend in 2010, but
beware gifts that glitter and gleam,
whats inside isnt what it seems.

MISSION AND ACTION NEWS
HEALTH AND HOPE IN MADAGASCAR
Over two years ago, mission co-workers Dan and Elizabeth Turk
carried an orchard in their luggage from the United States - 430trees belonging to 30 species and in 150 varieties. Although some
trees were lost in quarantine due to transplanting stress, the
Church of Jesus Christ in Madagascars (FKJM) Environmental Pro-
gram now has a collection of trees including avocados, mangos,
litchis, jackfruits, bananas, persimmons, muscadines and kiwis.
The Environmental Program has set up an FJKM tree nursery in
Moramanga to propagate the new varieties, and has begun a pilot
extension project at Andramasina with nine farmers. Each farmer
has had training in orchard establishment and propagation tech-
niques, and received about twenty fruit trees.In July 2005, Dan and Elizabeth began raising money for thirty-six wells for community health villages in
northwestern Madagascar . Despite a number of delays the project was completed in fall 2007. Many vil-
lages now report a decrease in diarrhea. One village reports no more case of schistosomiasis (a disease
caused by parasitic worms in fresh water) since its well was dug.
In 2007, Dan and Elizabeth Turk passed through Dakabe where a new well was built. They experienced
firsthand the villagers joy about their new supply of fresh water. Previously, the villagers had to get their
water from a stream that had crocodiles in it during the rainy season. Now these community health vil-
lages have safe water and hope, thanks to the PC(USA) and FJKM!
Prayer: Thank you God, for water and trees and eyes to see your love at work in the world. We ask your
blessings on the Turks, the people of Madagascar, and those who do not have their daily needs met this
day. Amen.
Prayer Reminders: People in Mission PC(USA) serving with the FKJM Elizabeth Turk, public health spe-
cialist, and Dan Turk, environment/development worker; the leadership of the FKJM; Akany Avoko Home
for Girls; Faculte of Theology at Antananarivo and the Federation of Protestant Churches in Madagascar.

Jubilee! The Good News from Luke
Looking for a Bible study on Sunday? Perhaps desiring to deepen you spiritual walk during Lent? Inter-
ested in studying a gospel? Please join us in the Junior High Room on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to
9:50 a.m. beginning on February 15th and continuing through March 15th.
We will spend five weeks considering sections of the gospel of Luke, through the Horizons Bible Study,
Jubilee! by Dale Lindsay Morgan. The focus is jubilee, with a long history of forgiveness and freedom in
the Hebrew tradition. Jubilee came to describe the beginning of the Messianic Age, the year of the Lords
favor (Luke 4:9), when the Messiah would come and turn the world upside down. Join us to consider
the ways in which Christ brought the love of God to all. You may attend on any day during the series of
lessons. Questions? ContactJoan Nichols: (651-714-8314)

STEWARDSHIP CORNER
Tough Year Ahead
We have just finished the year 2008 in the black, praise the Lord! We have
just finished an Operating Fund and Capital Fund Stewardship drive, but wedid not receive the pledges we had hoped for.
Based on the latest figures, out of approximately 135 potential pledging
units, we received 74 pledges for the Operating Fund totaling $208,911
(target was $250,000), and 59 pledges to the Capital Campaign totaling
$208,689 (target was $325,000). Based on these returns, the Session has
trimmed the budget as much as it can without seriously affecting the pro-
grams of Trinity. It looks like 2009 will be a year of belt tightening for the
church, just as it will be for many families. Over 3 years, our mortgage pay-
ments alone will total over $250,000, so we need to dig deeper than the
pledges received so far to pay our mortgage.
What can each of us do to ease the situation? If we are able to do so, it would be helpful for each family
to make an extra contribution of the amount called Per Capita Apportionment. This is the amount we pay
to support the governing body work of the Presbytery, Synod and General Assembly. This amount is
$30.01 per confirmed member, and Trinity is obligated to pay to support the work of the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.). Blue envelopes are in the pew racks.
If you havent completed a pledge for 2009 or are in a position to increase it, there is still an opportunity
to do so. Please look for a card in the Welcome room, or send a message to Stephanie Hoekstra, the Fi-
nancial Secretary (StephanieH17@msn.com). Thank you for your continued support of the ministry of
Trinity Presbyterian Church.
Jay Wilkinson, Finance and Stewardship Chai
Then he said to them, Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a mans life does not con-
sist in the abundance of his possessions. And he told them this parable: The ground of a certain rich man
produced a good crop. He thought to himself, ... [I] have plenty of good things laid up for many years.
Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. But God said to him, You fool! This very night your life will be
demanded from you. This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich
toward God. ... Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not
wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth de-
stroys. ... Luke 12:15-17a, 19b-21, 33
Please consider making an
additional gift (called Per
Capita Apportionment) of
$30.01 per confirmed mem-
ber to defray the nearly
$7,000 assessment to Trin-
ity by the Presbytery.
Blue envelopes designated
for per capita may be found
in the pew racks.

PASTORAL CARE MESSAGE
A Focus on Hearts
FFFFebruary is a month of hearts. Many valentine I love yous are heard andsent and little red hearts begin to appear everywhere. Messages and sym-bols of love let dear ones know they are cherished and appreciated.
February is also National Heart Month, when people are urged to join the battleagainst cardiovascular diseases. Heart disease is the leading cause of death forboth men and women in the United States, and is a major cause of disability. Ac-cording to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, every 26 seconds anAmerican will have a coronary event, and one every minute will die from one. Dur-ing February, people are encouraged to review the risk factors for heart diseaseand check our personal habits to assure we are doing everything possible to keepour hearts healthy.
The biggest factors that contribute to heart disease are smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,family history and age. While we cant control the last two factors, we can make strides to change our lifestyles. If you have a risk factor for heart disease, Valentines Day is the perfect occasion to do somethingspecial for your loved ones and make a change to prevent or delay the onset of heart disease. An easyand inexpensive suggestion is to walk briskly for 30 minutes most days of the week. Walking helps thecardiovascular system work more efficiently, and it helps control blood sugar and cholesterol. A re-cent study shows that people are 76 percent more likely to stay on their walking program if someone elseis counting on them.
So get a walking buddy, or improve your diet, or make some positive change, and increase your chancesof being around for many more Februarys!
Blessings, Dee Lindblom
HEALTHY MIND MATTERS
The following personal story is written by Gretchen White, about her familys journey of living with a childwith Aspergers.
Being Rockfords Mom
This summer, Rockford was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, one of many autism spectrum disor-ders. Asperger's is a developmental disorder that affects a child's ability to socialize and communicate ef-
fectively with others. Children with Asperger's syndrome are typically socially awkward and have an all-absorbing interest in specific topics. Before the diagnosis I thought he was just persistent, high energy,and demanding. Many days I thought I would not be able to fill his brain enough for him to be satisfied. Ioften wondered why parenting Rockford was so much work. Was I doing something wrong?
While reading to Rockford this week I couldnt help but be reminded of his Aspergers. We were reading asilly story about sharks that brush their teeth, Rockford explained to me that sharks teeth regenerateand this is a continuous process, mom so it would never happen that sharks need to brush their teeth.Last night I read him the Boy Scout rules for the Pinewood derby cars. Rockford likes rules and he is veryexcited about making a car. When I got done reading the information I asked him, What do you think?He told me when we are done building the car he wants to go to the Science Museum and see if he canuse their wind tunnel to test his cars aerodynamics.

DID YOU KNOW?
A new case of autism
is diagnosed nearly
every 20 minutes.
The economic impact
of autism is more
than $90 billion and
expected to more
than double in the
next decade.
Autism receives less
than 5% of the
research funding ofmany less prevalent
childhood diseases.
HEALTHY MIND MATTERS (contd)
With these types of stories, one would think the Gifted and Talented Program
would call from school, but instead Rockford struggles with many things that
other kids learn naturally. During kindergarten I thought he just hadnt matured
yet or he was just being a boy. In first grade, Jeff and I became concerned thatRockfords academic performance was far below his verbal abilities and had him
evaluated by a psychologist. Before the diagnosis I did not know anything about
Aspergers; I actually thought the psychologist was going to tell me it was a
discipline problem.
Many of the things he struggles with other kids intuitively learn or accept. As
parents, we assumed he would follow our example and learn appropriate
behavior: sit still, indoor voice, be polite, wait your turn to speak, etc. Instead,
sitting still is extremely hard. One reason we actually started coming to Trinity
was because Rockford could be in Sunday school while we were at church. Even a
age five sitting through church was not a possibility.Not only is sitting still difficult, but sensory issues associated with Aspergersmake simple tasks monumental. Not having the right socks and/or shoes canmake it impossible to focus. I am sure many of you have seen him at LOGOS in
just his socks. This isnt Rock just being eccentric.
Understanding friendships, teasing, and joking are tough. He can be veryoutgoing, but does not know when to stop. Often times I find myself explainingthings that I thought came naturally to everyone. I try very hard to keep in mindthat he sees the world in a very different way than you or I. Although beingRockfords mom can sometimes be draining, he has taught me many things aboutacceptance and patience.
Now when I see a parent struggling with their child, or a child that is marching toits own tune, I view the situation with a new attitude. I dont assume that thechild just needs to be better disciplined; I have a little more empathy. Childrengrow and learn and express talents at different stages. We have to learn whatexpectations are realistic for the individual child and be more tolerant of ourdifferences.
We all work hard to do the best for our kids and we all have shared many of thesame experiences despite different challenges. My year of getting to know Rockbetter has been so rewarding. Ive seen my son enjoy his days much more. Ithasnt always been easy, but I am thankful for all the progress weve made thisyear and the many good days ahead for our family.
