The Urn

Almost thirty years ago my mom and dad received a golden urn for a fiftieth anniversary present. The urn was a gift from my dad’s sister and I am sure it was given with the best of intentions. It sat proudly among the other gifts my parents received for surviving life and each other for fifty years. However, my mother hated this urn. There was nothing my mother hated worse in her house than this urn. Regardless of what the Pope and Vatican II said, she was not in favor of cremation. She had a fear of fire unless she was cooking. Our smoke

alarm was the dinner bell at our house regularly and often. She preferred her food d-e-a-d dead but did not want her body to be reduced to ashes. When my mother passed away it was my job to go through her house, which she and my dad lived in for over fifty-three years, and sort things into three piles: throw away, give away and keep. Her anniversary urn was one of the things I kept. My wife cleaned it and it sits on the high boy on my side of the bed. Each morning among the first things I see is that urn sitting patiently for me to meet my maker. Margo and I decided some years ago that we wanted to be cremated for several reasons. One, the cost of a funeral is literally out of this world. We have children and grandchildren we would rather have those funds to use for school or expenses or just plain ole fun. Second, we both have stood over way too many coffins looking at a person who has passed and made the comment “don’t they look good.” Nobody told me that when I was living and I don’t like the idea of people telling a lie about me and not being able to make a retort. Third, at our last family funeral I was asked to be a pall bearer. My cousins and I are getting some age on us now and we had to actually arrange ourselves according to our “good sides” so we wouldn’t risk dropping the coffin. Plus, I’m not sure I have enough friends who could pull the weight, if you know what I mean. I saw a cartoon on Facebook recently that said “cremation is my last chance to have a smoking hot body!” I know this is true. I am very sure the smoke from my cremation will be seen from the Space Station. The advantage of seeing this urn everyday is a reminder to me that I am much closer to the end of the play than I am from the beginning. The urn is a reminder to me to make every day count. It reminds me to thank God every time I awake and have another day to serve him and his church. It serves as a reminder to not dwell on the mundane but to seek the profound and to avoid the negative folks and surround myself with those who really care about me. We all have an “urn” awaiting us. While some people have avoided taxes, nobody can avoid death. Therefore, make this New Year your best year. Start each day by making a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation and come into his presence with thanksgiving. Live each day to it’s fullest until you breath your last and God sends his heavenly uber to bring you home!

Program Ministry News

January of 2020! An exciting new year awaits us. New beginnings always brings to mind, for me, the passage in Isaiah (43:19). Let’s consider a couple of translations. Our NIV says, “Behold, I will do new things ….” And, the International Standard Version says it this way, “Watch! I’m about to carry out

something new! And now it’s springing up — don’t you recognize it? I’m making a way in the wilderness and paths in the desert.” This passage reminds me of our church home springing up soon. In 2020, may we, Trinity Church, body of believers, family of Christ, follow the path that God has prepared for us. May we watch with excitement what God will do in the coming year as we join Him in ministry! Happy New Year! Peace and Joy, Cindy

Recently, I was teaching at a Stephen Ministry event where someone introduced me to “Megan,” a woman in her early 30s who wanted to tell me her story about receiving care from a Stephen Minister during a difficult transition in life. Megan prefers to remain anonymous--but she gave me permission to share her story with you so you’ll know about the powerful difference Stephen Ministry made in her life. Amity Haugk Amity: What led you to receive the care of a Stephen Minister? Megan: It all began soon after I moved to (a new city) to live near my family. I had just ended an eight-year relationship and was depending on them to be my support system. But a few months after I arrived, they unexpectedly had to move away--so I felt very, very alone. Not long after they moved, my grandfather passed away. It was one of the hardest times of my life. I knew I needed to talk to someone, but I hadn’t lived in the city long enough to develop close, comfortable friendships that I could depend on. But my new church had Stephen Ministry. When I found out what Stephen Ministry was, I talked to my pastor about getting a Stephen Minister. How did your relationship with your Stephen Minister start out? It started off a little bit slow. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about sharing deep, personal things with someone I didn’t know very well. But her consistency, compassion, and care for me really came through. I realized that my Stephen Minister was a safe person who wasn’t going to share what I told her with anyone else. From there we developed a deep relationship until I felt like I could truly share anything with her. What was it like to meet with your Stephen Minister? We met weekly. Sometimes she’d come to my house and we’d sit and talk, and other times we’d go walking together. During our visits, she just let me talk while she listened. As I was talking through things, I realized that it was helping me to make sense of everything that had happened and how I was feeling. She accepted my feelings, including the ones that seemed risky to share--and that was really helpful. I actually didn’t need advice from her--I needed acceptance and affirmation. I had a lot of loneliness, a lot of hurts, a lot of uncertainty inside. I needed to be validated and not put down. My Stephen Minister did a wonderful job of creating a warm, caring space for me to process my emotions and work through my issues. I’ve heard other care receivers say that their Stephen minister helped them experience God’s love. Could you tell me more about how that happened for you? The fact that God is invisible makes it hard for me to experience him sometimes. I’d been through some very negative experiences in life that caused me to question whether God even existed--and, if he existed, whether he loved me. I truly wondered, after all the things I’d done and the mess I’d been through, if God could still love me. I somehow knew intuitively that I needed a person that I could see and touch. I think that’s truly why I asked for a Stephen Minister. When my Stephen Minister was able to share her concern and her sorrow over my experiences, God was there loving me through her. I experienced God’s sorrow and God’s compassion and God’s love--and it made all the difference for me. What I needed the most was her unconditional love--to know that no matter what I shared with her, no matter what I’d done, she cared for me. Her care showed God’s love for me. I needed to know that there was one person in the world who knew everything there was to know about me--the good, the bad, the ugly--and still loved me. It was the tangible expression of God’s love in my Stephen Minister that changed my life. Based on your experience, how would you describe what Stephen Ministers do? Stephen Ministers do a lot of listening and ask really good questions that help you talk through your thoughts and emotions. Stephen Ministers are there for you when it seems that no one else is. Just having someone to talk to--week after week--to bounce ideas off of, can help bring clarity into your life and help you sort through whatever it is you’re dealing with. The most important thing my Stephen Minister did for me was to provide spiritual care that led to spiritual healing. Doctors can take care of our physical needs, and counselors can help with our emotional needs. Pastors focus on spiritual needs, but can’t possibly care for every person in their congregation who needs it. So sometimes there’s a real gap when it comes to meeting spiritual needs. My spiritual wounds were the gap for me--the neglected part inside me that hadn’t been taken care of. God used my Stephen Minister to really fill the spiritual gap. What would you say to someone who’s considering receiving care from a Stephen Minister? Asking for a Stephen Minister is the best thing I could have done for myself. Stephen Ministry is transformational. As a care receiver, you’ll grow so much through your Stephen Minister’s care, concern, and compassion for you--you may not even recognize yourself afterward! And you’ll be a lot better off for it. I would encourage anyone who is suffering, discouraged, or going through a difficult time to ask for a Stephen Minister. And if someone offers a Stephen Minister to you, say, “Yes!” It really is life-changing.

Trustworthy, A Study of 1 & 2 Kings

When hard times come and it seems God is deviating from the plan we assume our life should follow, we’re much more likely to want to tame God, not trust Him. It’s then that we begin to press into our ways and our own timing. No human can carry the weight of being their own god, but so many of us try.

In this 6-session study of 1 & 2 Kings, you can join Lysa TerKeurst in Israel as she honestly reveals the places of distrust in her own heart while exploring the deeply personal applicable Scriptures that will teach us how to truly trust God.

Our study begins on Tuesday, January 7, at 10:00 AM in the Cordie Page Building.

Contact Nancy Anderson at 843-397-5206 for more information.

New Bible Study

There’s a tale of a traveling priest who was confronted by a soldier in pre-revolutionary Russia. Rifle in hand, the soldier barked, “Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there?” Instead of answering, the priest asked how much the soldier was paid — and offered double if the soldier would challenge him with those three questions each day as he passed by. Those three important questions can guide us on our journey through the brand-new year ahead. For Christians, thankfully, the answers are clear: • Who are you? “I’m a child of God!” • Where are you going? “I’m going out into the world!” • Why are you going there? “I’m going out of love for Jesus, who died for me!” Place these questions and answers in a spot where you can see them each day. Then go forward confidently, knowing “whose” you are and what your purpose is.
