Change and transition

I really wish that I could write this

note to you on October first,

especially with a congregational vote

on September 30th regarding

Trinity’s next Pastor. While I

personally feel that Pastor Peter is an

outstanding candidate who will serve

Trinity well, I also know that nothing

is decided until that meeting on

Sunday, September 30th, at 11:15am.

This means that a lot of things that I

would like to write are premature or

not yet appropriate.

But that is what transitions are like.

They involve times of not knowing

and a steady stream of change. And

they can be times of great hope and

promise at the same time. They can

be frustrating when writing an article

in advance for the Visitor. But please

remember that there are things that

do not change… that there is One who

does not come or go, but remains forever.

For God is present. Jesus’ love remains. The Holy Spirit is still at work at Trinity.

And this does not change. So let’s celebrate that fact, even in this time of

transition.

YAGM Chelsey Johnson to visit Trinity on Oct 21: Missionary Sunday

Chelsey Johnson has recently returned from her year of service in Cambodia through the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program. In Cambodia, she served with an ELCA partner organization working with farmers in rural Cambodia, taught English at the Phnom Penh Bible School, and lived in community with students in a dormitory at the Lutheran Church in Cambodia. Chelsey saw God at work in her relationships through generous hospitality and patient sharing of Cambodian culture. She is honored to now travel to congregations across the Midwest as a representative of ELCA Global Church Sponsorship, entrusted with these stories and pieces of culture to share with you. A 2017 Honors graduate of Oklahoma State University with degrees in Strategic Communications and Political Science, Chelsey sees much of what she learned in her YAGM year as the first steps towards a career in Global Development, with a particular interest in using agriculture as a catalyst for change. Hailing from a long line of Lutherans, Chelsey was baptized, confirmed, and grew up in a handful of Lutheran communities across southern Minnesota. She is currently a member of Salem Lutheran Church in Stillwater, OK, which she attended during college, and where her grandparents have been members for over 30 years. At Salem, Chelsey has been involved with Campus Ministry, local interfaith work, and is a diligent attendee of the Wednesday morning Sewers ministry (where she does NOT sew quilts, but does enjoy coffee with her grandmother and retired friends). Chelsey is energized by meeting Lutherans and hearing about their passions, especially over coffee or potlucks. She looks forward to visiting Trinity on October 21 to share her YAGM experience, to tell about the four young adults from the Northern Illinois Synod currently serving

in YAGM, and to show the incre- dible work being accomplished by ELCA global Companions around the world.

Note: The Trinity budget does not include Global Mission. Instead, we at Trinity fund our Global Mission projects through our special gifts from Missionary Sunday (fall) and from Global Mission Sunday (spring), along with Endowment Fund grants. Your gift helps support four ELCA Missionaries, YAGM, and helps make Health and School Kits and quilts. Through Endowment Fund grants, Trinity also contributes annually to up to six projects worldwide.

Please use the special Missionary Sunday envelope in the pews or the Missionary Sunday envelope in your offering set.

We thank the Holy Spirit for inspiring Trinity members to again support Global Mission activities at Trinity!

God’s Grace to all! Trinity Global Mission Team

Exciting events and renewal are happening at Trinity

Lutheran Church! Because of you, your family, and

our congregational family, the gospel is being boldly

proclaimed and the joy of God’s grace in Christ is

celebrated in marvelous ways. Indeed, through our

ministry together, countless lives are being touched

with the love of Christ.

As we look ahead to ministry as a family of faith at

Trinity, we continue on our RENEW initiative that

will help us grow in ministry and ways we can bring

connections with people and Christ. As a part of

RENEW our Sharing, we will be introducing various

ways that you will soon be able to give electronically.

In addition to our website, you will be able to give

from your phone by text or by use of an app. You will

hear more about these new ways in the coming weeks

In connection with this church wide initiative, we will

explore together this Fall ways of responding to God’s

blessings by how we can renew our sharing. We will

see the wonderful gift of God’s grace in Christ and

how it is the foundation of our discipleship and

giving. Our Kick-Off Sunday for “RENEW Our

Sharing” will be Sunday, October 14th. Our fall

emphasis will culminate with a celebration of ministry

and the sharing of commitments of how we can

“renew ourselves” in ministry on Sunday, November

18th.

Plan to be on hand in worship and consider together

how we can “RENEW Our Sharing”. How exciting

it will be to grow together in discipleship and the joy

of generosity.

The next meeting of the Trinity Endowment

Committee will be on Thursday, October 18, 2018.

The Committee meets quarterly in April, July,

October, and December. All grant requests for this

quarterly meeting need to be in the church office two

weeks prior to our meeting or by October 4. This

provides adequate time to organize the agenda, seek

additional information if needed, and distribute the

information to the membership.

$1000 scholarship toward expenses related to any

higher, continuing education program. An application

should be submitted after completion of at least 12

credit hours with a GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, or

provide evidence of satisfactorily completing the

course work submitted at a passing level. There is an

option to reapply one time for another $1,000 grant

during a separate academic year as long as students

still meet the above listed standards (for a total award

of $2000 per student).

In addition to the Scholarships category, the other

three categories are Community Outreach, Missions

of the ELCA, and Trinity Church Special Causes.

Each category is allotted 25% of our total funds for

the year. The Trinity Investment Committee has

allotted us $46,162 for awards in the 2018 calendar

year.

Book Notes

Library Lines “A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl, Belmont Plantation, Virginia 1859” (JFic McK) is one in a series of Dear America books. Written by Patricia McKissack, this fictional diary details the life of Clotee Henley, a 12 year-old slave girl in Virginia. Clotee learns to read and write as she fans her mistress’ children during their lessons in the southern summer heat. Her hunger for knowledge and freedom make her easy to identify with. Clotee finds hope in the Underground Railroad and becomes a conductor, leading other slaves to freedom.

Each of the Dear America books is historically accurate and include a historical note section in the back with photos, maps, advertisements and other items from the time period. “Clotee” includes a recipe for sweet potato pie and a hand-written note by Frederick Douglass. Library Lines are written by volunteers from Trinity Church. A review of anything from our church’s library, including videos, is welcome. Reviews from the children’s and youth sections are also welcome.

LIFE

In the month of August, the L.I.F.E. Youth Group met for the first time on the 8th after taking a brief summer break. After returning from Houston in July we found out that Brian would be leaving us and I would step up to take his place, what large shoes to fill. Our first night back was used to welcome in our second leader Brennen DeVolder, and to get reacquainted with expectations and plans for the group. The second Wednesday we had a very faith-based scavenger hunt and a potluck that peaked everyone’s cooking and hunting skills. The following Wednesday the kids enjoyed a night of roller skating. The last week of August we spent here at the church planning for some new and eventful fundraisers for our 2019

Mission trip to Blue Knob, Pennsylvania. We are all very ambitious and excited for the year to come! LeAnna Niebruegge LIFE sent this photograph with the members autographs to Christian artists and speakers that inspire them with a letter letting them know what their ministry means to them.

Pastor Appreciation Month October is such a delightful time of year. Autumn is here with all of its gifts, and we have an opportunity to recognize the Feast of St Luke the Evangelist and Physician and Clergy Appreciation Month! How thankful we are that God provides us with faithful pastors to feed us, guide us, and walk our faith journey with us (John 21: 15-17). Today, the health of clergy is a concern for congregations, denominations, and clergy and their families. Church workers tend to be caregivers to everyone with little time and energy left for themselves and their families. Over time, the physical, emotional and/or spiritual health may suffer. Research has shown that primary stressors in clergy families are: 1) insufficient time together; 2) financial concerns,

and 3) communications issues. It is in light of these concerns, and Christian ethics and love, that we are privileged to be able to support and encourage our clergy, their families, and their ministry. Here are just a few suggestions for you can be a ‘Health Promoter’ and help care for our congregations’ caregivers. Communicate with them!

Contact them if you want to visit. They may not know your concerns unless you tell them. Also ask them how things are going for them.

Know that as much as they would like to, they can’t be everywhere and be everything to everyone.

Actively pray for them and their families (let them know you are their prayer partner).

Let them know how much they mean to you and your appreciation for their ministry.

Encourage and respect their days off and family time.

Be perceptive of issues their family faces, and show concern as you might to other Christian families.

Encourage them to take an active role in personal and family health and well-being and have an annual physical exam.

These are just a few ways to show appreciation and share the love of Christ, by caring for those called to care for us.

Thank You

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped out with our 6th annual Care of Creation Local Food Breakfast

on September 23rd! So much work went into preparation, serving and cleaning up - it wouldn't have happened

without you! Special thanks goes to Kathy Lootens, Barbara Steigman, Dave Dwyer, Judy Hartley, Gail Hess and

Joan Ribbeck - we worked together like a well-oiled machine on Saturday morning. And thank you to Ruth unit on

Sunday morning and everyone else who pitched in without being asked. I am always amazed and humbled by how

people at Trinity really step up when they are needed. Thanks so much! Karen Neder

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is

a serious lung disease that, over time, makes it

hard to breathe. COPD is used to describe a

variety of lung diseases, including emphysema and

chronic bronchitis. An estimated 24 million people

have COPD today, about half do not realize it.

Many people mistake shortness of breath as a

normal part of aging or a result of being out of

shape. COPD develops slowly, so symptoms may

not be obvious until damage has occurred.

Common symptoms include an ongoing cough, a

cough that produces a lot of mucus, shortness of

breath (especially during physical activity),

wheezing and chest tightness.

Those most at risk are smokers, former smokers

over the age of 40 and people who have had long-

term exposure to other lung irritants like

secondhand smoke, air pollution, chemical fumes

and dust. Additionally, alpha-1-antitrypsin

deficiency, a rare genetic condition known as AAT

deficiency, can increase the risk of developing

COPD.

If you are experiencing any of the aforementioned

symptoms, you need to get tested by your doctor.

Spirometry is a simple breathing test that your

doctor can use to tell if you have COPD, and if so,

how severe it is. Early screening can also identify

COPD before major loss of lung function occurs.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for COPD.

However, if you have COPD, there are things you

can do to help manage symptoms and protect your

lungs from further damage, including….Quit

smoking, resources at smokefree.gov or 1-800-

QUIT-NOW, there are also medications that your

doctor can prescribe that will help reduce nicotine

craving. Avoid air pollutants (dust, allergens, strong

fumes) See airnow.gov for daily air quality reports.

COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Guard against flu, it is very important to get a flu shot

every fall. Also if you haven’t had the pneumococcal

immunizations, for protection against pneumonia…ask

your doctor if he recommends one for you. Take your

prescribed medications as ordered.

For more information, visit COPD Foundation at

copdfoundation.org or call the information line 866-316-

2673.

Respectfully and prayerfully,

Mary Jane Dimmer, Parish Nurse

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord. Psalm 96:11-12 As autumn begins, take time to look at the beautiful flowers and colors of the leaves and know that they sing for joy before the Lord. Also take time to thank God for His bounty and the crops and food we receive from the exulting fields. Praise God for the provisions He has made for us in providing a pastoral candidate to shepherd Trinity into the future.
