GROWING GOD’S KINGDOM

FROM THE PASTOR
Dear Members and Friends,
The lectionary readings (suggested scripture readings for each Sunday for a three-year cycle)
for the month of March, 2015, explore the journey of Jesus to the cross. During the month of
March we will focus on taking a journey to Jesus. On Sunday, March 1st, we will take a
journey to Jesus with as speech. As we take a journey to Jesus, we need to imitate Jesus as
He spoke. Jesus spoke plainly about His death and resurrection, about the work of the devil, and about
following Him. We as Christians need to be bold enough to speak on these issues also.
We will begin Sunday, March 8th
an hour earlier as Daylight Savings Times begin.
Please set your clock ahead on Saturday night so that you do not arrive at the church as
the service ends. On that Sunday, we will look at taking a journey to Jesus with our
minds. As we take a journey to Jesus, our minds must move from thinking that faith in
Christ is foolishness to realizing that faith in Christ is wisdom and power, for “the
foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger
than man’s strength.”
On Sunday, March 15th
, we will take a journey to Jesus with our faith. As we take a
journey to Jesus, we move from the grace of God convicting us of our need for Christ,
to faith in Christ, to acts of service for Christ. On that Sunday, we will talk about John
Newton’s “Three Wonders of Heaven.”
A different type of journey will be taken on Sunday, March 22nd
, as we take a journey to
Jesus through music, through our favorite hymns. The words of these songs come out of
the writer’s own journey to Jesus.
Finally, on March 29th
, Palm Sunday, we will take a journey to Jesus through our
praise. We praise Jesus through our obedience, our submission, our repentance, and
our life.
I hope that you will join us for each of these worship services as we take a journey to Jesus.
Prayerfully yours,
Pastor Harold

Trinity United Methodist Church Council Minutes – January 2015
The Church Council meeting was held in the Goodhart Classroom on Monday, January 19, 2015 at 7:00 p.m.
Those in attendance were:
Karen Boutcher, Marylue Durff, Dave Evelhoch, Scott Gleim, Al Grove, Janet Grove, Jenny Harkins, Glorianne
Hilsinger, Kim Holmes, Tom Holmes, Marty Sheaffer, Corrie Wadel. Pastor Harold was attending a Retreat and
not in attendance.
Tom Holmes called the meeting to order. Dave Evelhoch offered an opening prayer.
The December 2014 Secretary’s report was reviewed as submitted. Janet Grove made a motion to accept the
minutes and the motion was seconded by Marty Schaeffer. The December minutes were approved by verbal
vote.
The Treasurer’s annual report was reviewed. Marty Sheaffer reported that the Shares of Ministry are 2 months
in arrears. Tom Holmes noted that Year to Date Total looks good and a strong effort was made during the last
quarter to assist with the Shares of Ministry. With no changes the Treasurer’s report was approved as presented.
STEWARDSHIP: Scott Gleim reported the Committee is working on numbers for the upcoming Church
Conference and this will be complete and ready next week. Tom noted that attendance was good through the 4th
quarter of 2014.
TDCC: Nothing new to report.
WORSHIP: Kim Holmes reported that the Worship Committee held two meetings and they have set a general
calendar for 2015 with each month having a specific theme. February’s theme will be Giving Your Heart to
Jesus. Kim said it was nice to see various areas of the Church working to tie the theme together. Tom noted that
the new computer was in use this past Sunday.
VISION: Marylue Durff reported that the Vision Team has prepared recommendations in follow up to the draft
organizational chart which was presented to Council at last months’ meeting. Marylue passed out copies of 2
recommendations for discussion and review. The first item is the proposed organizational structure which needs
approval by Council. After general discussion, it was decided to table this until next month. The second item is
a suggestion to provide copies of the monthly Council minutes in a timelier manner to the members. Currently,
the Minutes are part of the Love Letter and not sent out until the following month. The process of providing the
minutes will be discussed with Pastor Harold and will be followed up on at next month’s meeting.
The subject of numerous Teams and Committees was brought up: is there a way to streamline this process; can
some of these be combined? It was asked of the Council which of these Teams and Committees actually are
required to attend the Council Meeting. Research needs to be done to see what the Book of Discipline says on
Council attendance requirements. It was expressed that this information should be shared with the various
volunteers to inform them of the specific requirements when they are asked and agree to participate on any
particular Team or Committee. Al Grove told the Council that anything voted on by Conference, requires
approval through Conference. This may pertain to the organizational structure and it was agreed this would also
be researched and discussed with the Pastor. The Vision Team is scheduled to meet next week.
BUILDING COMMITTEE: Nothing to report.
AUDIT: All account books need to be sent in to the Audit Committee.
TRUSTEE: Dave mentioned that the Trustees want to perform another radon test. Tom Holmes provided the
Council with additional information he obtained from the Newscast (ABC27) about radon in
Pennsylvania. Tom called in and spoke with one of the experts on the panel and was informed of the
following: The expert recommended that we look at a chart that Tom handed out at the meeting from the US,
EPA relating to the risk assessment of life time exposure to various radon levels. It was learned that
Pennsylvania has no State Law on levels for radon, nor is there any pending litigation on radon. Tom was also
informed by the people on the EPA Panel that our Church does not ‘need’ to do anything and they did not seem
to think that our level was a ‘major’ problem that requires immediate action. In fact, it was suggested that for
levels between 4 and 10 (like ours), that a (4 season) test be done. It was suggested that a second letter be
prepared with some of this additional information and be sent to Church members, families of Day care, etc.
This information will be shared with Pastor Harold upon his return from the Retreat.
OUTREACH: Glorianne shared the following dates scheduled for My Brother’s Table:
March 15, August 2 and December 6th
.
YOUTH: Corrie gave the following event dates:
Activity day: January 25th
Outing: February 8

Activity day: March 22
Sunrise Breakfast: April 5

Walnut Bottom Parade: May 23 - Pending
Kings Fest Prep: June 7 and 21

Fireman’s Fair: June 25 – 27
Vacation Bible School: Pending
As reported in previous meetings, King’s Fest will conflict with the Annual Ice Cream Social for the next 2 or 3
years. There was a general discussion on the Church taking over the Ice Cream Social so we do not lose this
fund raising opportunity. Tom suggested trying to keep this event and noted last year there were plenty of
volunteers. The youth group have discussed hosting dinners to raise funds for King’s Fest if we cannot keep the
Ice Cream Social event.
FOOD BANK: Corrie said things have settled down after the Holiday. A list of needed items will be placed in
the Church Bulletin on a monthly basis. There may be a Food Drive in May.
SHUT INS: There will be a Valentine Visit in February.
UMW: Janet reported the February meeting has been cancelled. March 10th
will be the Walnut Bottom Senior
luncheon. A dinner will be planned around Easter for the Special Needs group.
SCOUTING: Nothing new to report.
OLD BUSINESS: Tom reminded the group to pick up a flyer for the upcoming Texas Roadhouse event.
Tom said the new collection envelopes are out and there have been no comments. Tom reported the Counting
Team has worked to streamline the process and it is a lot less work for Cliff and Susie.
NEW BUSINESS: Glorianne said South Newton Township sent letters regarding the 2019 Bi-centennial. A
meeting is scheduled for March 4th
at the Fire Company regarding this event. There is no date set but Glorianne
asked the Council to think about what role the Church might want to take in this event.
Dave commented that he sensed an improvement within the Church due to the Worship Team and Vision Team
efforts as a result of the survey the members participated in last year. Dave said he appreciated all the efforts by
these 2 groups.
Dave Evelhoch offered the closing prayer.
The next Council meeting will be February 16th
at 7 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jenny Harkins
