Dear Members and Friends of Trinity UMC:

How do we make the best of these fragile and challenging times? Faith and trust! Faith is the capacity to maintain trust and allegiance in God in spite of the circumstances in our lives. It is the capacity to reach deep within and remain loyal to our Creator. It is the capacity to sense God's presence, to perceive God's power, and to stay focused on God's plan in spite of the ob-stacles. When you have deep and abiding faith it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic. Your attitude stays positive rather than negative. Not foolishly positive, as though in fantasy for you are believing God to be personally involved in your circumstances. So when a situation comes that cuts your feet out from under you, you don't have to throw up your arms and panic. You don't give up. Instead, you say, "Lord, this is Your moment. This is where You take charge. You're in this." There is nothing more comforting and reassuring than having a strong belief in the power of God; having others around you who support you in loving and sacrificial ways; and, yes, having confidence in yourself, by the grace of God. Refusing to give in to the temptation of cynicism and doubt. Not al-lowing yourself to become a jaded individual. Life is tough! Clergy have no magic wand to wave over your future and say, "All of a sudden everything is going to fall into place." Faith requires deter-mination and a consistent focus on God who loves and cares for you. Even in a world that is negative and hostile. Even in a world where the majority says, "We can't," you can. Trust God today. With eyes of faith you can re-main strong. Remember those deeply insightful words of Chuck Swindoll; Your life is not in the hands of blind fate, but in the hands of a loving and gracious God.

Enough said. See you in Church!

George R. Patterson, MDiv.

Dr. Dot Baker

WHAT is bullying? is any unwanted aggressive behavior(s) by another youth, group of youths, or adults who are not siblings or current dating partners, involves an observed or perceived power imbalance, is repeated multiple times or is highly likely to be repeated. Bullying is an intentional, aggressive and repeated behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength. One can be a perpetrator, a victim, or both. WHAT are forms/types of bullying? physical (hitting, tripping), verbal (name calling, teasing), or relational/social (spreading rumors, leaving out of group, intimidation), sexu-al, racist, hazing. Electronic aggression or cyber-bullying occurs through e-mail, a chat room, instant messaging, a web-site, text messaging, or videos or pictures posted on websites or sent through cell phones. WHO is at risk? Anyone. A bully is more likely to externalize problems such as defiant and disruptive behavior, experience harsh parenting by caregivers, show attitudes that accept violence. A victim is more likely to have poor peer relationships, have low self-esteem, be perceived by peers as different or quiet. Children/persons with disabilities are at greater risk for being bullied.

WHAT are the stats? 1 in 4 children are bullied; 1 in 5 repor ts being a bully; 8% miss school in fear ; 43% fear school bathroom harassment; 282,000 are attacked at secondary schools each month; 80% of bullying ends in a fight; 1 in 3 have heard another student threatened; 2 in 3 know how (or get information) to make a bomb; most occurs on school premises.

Bullies who are also victims exhibit the most serious consequences and are at greater risk for mental health and behavior problems.

WHAT to say & do? Ask more than Are you being bullied? You might say: Ive heard a lot about bullying in the

news. Is that going on at your school? Im worried about you. Are there any kids at school who may be picking on you

or bullying you? Are there any kids at school who tease you in a mean way? Are there any kids at school who leave

you out or exclude you on purpose? Do you have any special friends at school this year? Who are they? Who do you

hang out with? Who do you sit with at lunch and on the bus? Are there any kids at school who you really dont like?

Why dont you like them? Do they ever pick on you or leave you out of things? HOW to prevent? STAY ALERT to

behaviors, conversations, warning signs. Talk with teachers, guidance counselors. Inform yourself. Participate and advo-

cate for proactive prevention programs. Resources: CDC, STOMPOutBullying.org

By Carolyn Lewis, RN

Fall is officially here, and with it comes the hue of colors as the leaves change colors and then fall to the ground. The leaves are so beautiful and yet many groan because falling leaves means hours of raking or having someone come get the leaves up and haul them away. As the season changes, so does the temperature and folks are not staying outside as much and are closed up in class-rooms, offices, etc. and therefore spreading germs be-comes easier. The flu vaccine has arrived and we will be posting dates and times for administering the vaccine. A donation of $10.00 is suggested. The following is the information sheet that the CDC (Center For Disease Control) puts out and should answer most of your questions. Influenza (Flu) Vaccine (Live, Intranasal): What Y ou Need to Know 1. Why get vaccinated? Influenza (flu) is a contagious disease that spreads around the United States every year, usually between Oc-tober and May. Flu is caused by influenza viruses, and is spread main-ly by coughing, sneezing, and close contact. Anyone can get flu. Flu strikes suddenly and can last several days. Symptoms vary by age, but can include: fever/chills, sore throat, muscle aches, fatigue, cough, headache,, runny or stuffy nose. Flu can also lead to pneumonia and blood infections, and cause diarrhea and seizures in children. If you have a medical condition, such as heart or lung disease, flu can make it worse. Flu is more dangerous for some people. Infants and young children, people 65 years of age and older, preg-nant women, and people with certain health conditions or a weakened immune system are at greatest risk. Each year thousands of people in the United States die from flu, and many more are hospitalized. Flu vaccine can: keep you from getting flu, make flu less severe if you do get it, and keep you from spreading flu to your family and other people.

2. Live, attenuated flu vaccineLAIV, Nasal Spray A dose of flu vaccine is recommended every flu sea-son. Children younger than 9 years of age may need two doses during the same flu season. Everyone else needs only one dose each flu season. The live, attenuated influenza vaccine (called LAIV) may be given to healthy, non-pregnant people 2 through 49 years of age. It may safely be given at the same time as other vaccines. LAIV is sprayed into the nose. LAIV does not contain thimerosal or other preservatives. It is made from weak-ened flu virus and does not cause flu.

There are many flu viruses, and they are always changing. Each year LAIV is made to protect against four viruses that are likely to cause disease in the upcoming flu season. But even when the vaccine doesnt exactly match these viruses, it may still provide some protection. Flu vaccine cannot prevent: flu that is caused by a vi-rus not covered by the vaccine, or illnesses that look like flu but are not. It takes about 2 weeks for protection to develop after vaccination, and protection lasts through the flu season. 3. Some people should not get this vaccine Some people should not get LAIV because of age, health conditions, or other reasons. Most of these people should get an injected flu vaccine instead. Your healthcare provider can help you decide. Tell the provider if you or the person being vaccinated: - have any allergies, including an allergy to eggs, or have ever had an allergic reaction to an influenza vaccine. - have ever had Guillain-Barr Syndrome (also called GBS), have any long-term heart, breathing, kidney, liver, or nervous system problems. - have asthma or breathing problems, or are a child who has had wheezing episodes. are pregnant. - are a child or adolescent who is receiving aspirin or as-pirin-containing products. - have a weakened immune system.or will be visiting or taking care of someone, within the next 7 days, who re-quires a protected environment (for example, following a bone marrow transplant)

Sometimes LAIV should be delayed. Tell the provid-er if you or the person being vaccinated: are not feeling well and the vaccine could be delayed until you feel better. If you have gotten any other vaccines in the past four weeks. Live vaccines given too close together might not work as well. If you have taken influenza an-tiviral medication in the past 48 hours or have a very stuffy nose. 4. Risks of a vaccine reaction With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of reactions. These are usually mild and go away on their own, but serious reactions are also possi-ble. Most people who get LAIV do not have any prob-lems with it. Reactions to LAIV may resemble a very mild case of flu. Problems that have been reported following LAIV: Children and adolescents 2-17 years of age: runny nose/nasal congestio, cough, fever, headache and mus-cle aches, wheezing, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diar-rhea. Adults 18-49 years of age: runny nose/nasal conges-tion, sore throat, cough, chills, tiredness/weakness and a headache. Problems that could happen after any vaccine: Any medication can cause a severe allergic reaction. Such reactions from a vaccine are very rare, estimated at about 1 in a million doses, and would happen within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.

4

Parish Nurse (continued)

As with any medicine, there is a very small chance of a vaccine causing a serious injury or death. The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/

5. What if there is a serious reaction?

What should I look for? Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or unusual be-havior. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breath-ing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vac-cination. What should I do? If you think it is a severe allergic reaction or other emergency that cant wait, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the nearest hospital. Otherwise, call your doctor. Reactions should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor should file this report, or you can do it yourself through the VAERS web site at www.vaers.hhs.gov, or by calling 1-800-822-7967. VAERS does not give medical advice.

6. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Pro-

gram The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compen-sate people who may have been injured by certain vac-cines. Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website at www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation. There is a time limit to file a claim for compensation.

7. How can I learn more?

Ask your healthcare provider. He or she can give you

the vaccine package insert or suggest other sources of

information. Call your local or state health department.

Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Hope you have a great month and please get your flu vaccine unless contraindicated.

BUS TRIPS We still have some seats left on the bus for our November 18 trip to Lancaster for the American Music Theaters Christmas Show, Deck the Halls. The cost is $81 and is all inclusive. We will provide snacks and beverages and will have sandwiches for our trip home. We have a May 4 trip planned to go to see Samson at Sight and Sound. This is a new play, and I think it will be a great trip. The cost of the show, bus, and dinner is $98. We have a good time on our bus trips and wel-come you to join us for either of these or both.

UPCOMING LUNCH BUNCH SCHEDULE Our next Lunch Bunch will be on October 14 and our guest will be Cheryl Senkbeil from Mac, Inc. She will be discussing the role of an ombuds-men and what you can expect if you or your loved one is admitted to a Nursing Home. I be-lieve this will be very informative and hopefully you will put the date on your calendar of events. The November 11 Lunch Bunch falls on Vet-erans Day, and Tim Robinson who is a professor of history at S.U. will be here to talk about histo-ry as it relates to our veterans we are honoring. He is also one of our elite members of the Wicomico County Sheriffs Department. On December 9 we will be serenaded by the WiHi Concert Choir under the direction of Dr. Jeff Baer. This is always a treat for us, and the young men and women thoroughly enjoy coming to sing for us. January 13 kicks off our 2016 season with Joey Flannigan from the State Fire Marshalls office, and he will discuss fires and arson and what is involved in finding the source of fires. February 10 will find Chief Barbara Duncan of the Salisbury Police Department visiting with us. She will be addressing some of the issues with recent homicides. The rest of the year I am going to keep un-der-wraps for now. Wont you join us for de-votions, food and entertainment!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE

STUDY Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

in the Sanctuary

Join us every Wednesday night this year as we continue our study of the non-Pauline letters of the New Testament: James, 1 & 2 Peter and 1 & 2 & 3 John. This year we begin with the book writ-ten by Christs half-brother, James. At

times, this has been a controversial book; a book Mar-tin Luther called an epistle of straw. But it is a fasci-nating journey of faith put into action. We then contin-ue with the books written by Peter. Yes, Peter wrote two books of the Bible that prophetically describe and refute the atheistic theory of evolution that was devel-oped 1900 years after the book was written. The year will conclude with the three epistles written by John.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON

BIBLE STUDY &

BEREAN SUNDAY SCHOOL

CLASS

Every Thursday at 1:00 p.m. and

Sunday at 10:45 Room 303 of the JMB

These two books contain some of the most im-portant and interesting stories in Israeli history.

Hebrew Class Every Monday at 6:30 p.m.

The Hebrew word from last months Trumpet is messenger or Angel and is the name of the last book of the Tanakh (Old Testament): Malachi. This months Hebrew word is a very famous proper name.

Ask the Rev

What does the 3rd heaven mean?

This question is a reference to 2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who four-teen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-- God knows. (2 Cor. 12:2 NIV)

The word heaven refers to a variety of elements in Scripture. For example, in Gene-sis 1:1, we have God creating the heavens which can be a reference to the upper at-mosphere or the realm of God. In Genesis 1:8, the reference to heavens is clearly the sky or abode of the fowl. This is what some may call the first heaven. Genesis 1:14 speaks of the firma-ment of the heaven which refers to home of the lights: sun and stars. With this in mind, it is clear that Paul, the author of Corinthians, is describing an event that happened to him. He was caught up in what he refers to as the 3rd heaven, beyond the lower sky of the birds, beyond the firmament of heaven (the realm of the stars) into the very (3rd) realm of the presence of God himself.

Ask the Rev is a Trumpet newsletter feature where Rev. DeFino will answer your questions on the Bible, doctrine or religious beliefs and events. Send or call your questions into the church office and they will be

answered in future issues.

The food theme for the Lazarus Food Pantry for October is canned fish--tuna, salmon, etc. In addition to our monthly food items, Lazarus has a continuing need for certain food items to supplement the provided government food. These items include cereal and other breakfast foods, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, boxed dinners, hamburger, chicken and tuna helper, canned soups, vegetables and fruits, canned meats, and individual juices and snack items for the ready to eat bags. The food pantry is always in need of small personal hygiene items such as deodorant, soap bars, shampoos, lotions, toothpaste and toothbrushes, womens personal items, razor and shaving cream, chap stick, etc. So far this year, Trinity has donated 2,703 food items to the Lazarus Food Pantry. Since this project began a little over 10 years ago, our donations total just over 68,000 food items. For the months of August and September, Trinity donated a total of 38 #10 cans to HALO and the Christian Shelter. For the year-to-date, we have donated a total of 148 cans to these shelters. Trinity volunteers continue to serve 100-130 hot lunches, including seconds, at the Joseph House on the third Wednesday of every month. Our next day to serve will be October 21. Thanks again for your generous and continuing support for all of Trinity's Missions projects. We are always looking for ways to broaden our outreach to those in need and would welcome your ideas and participation. And as you think about ways you might lend a hand, reflect on this familiar passage of scripture: "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." James, Chapter 2, verses 14-17.

Ric Bloodsworth Missions Chairperson (240) 344-6194 jebloodsworth@gmail.com

Beginning in Spring 2016, the Trinity Emergency Shelter Project (TESP) will re-place the homeless shelter project we hosted as part of the Community Emergency Shelter Program (CESP). Henceforth, Trinity will no longer shelter homeless men for two weeks at the Jackson Memorial Building; instead, our hosting activities will move to HALO, where Trinity volunteers will augment HALO staff on two evening shifts in the men's and women's shelters. Our volunteers will also help serve breakfast and lunch for shelter residents. The dates for TESP are 27 Febru-ary-12 March 2016. We will provide regular updates as details for the shelter pro-ject are finalized. In the meantime, if you have questions, please feel free to give me a call.
