The following is Rev. Michael’s State of the Church Report from this year’s
Charge Conference on November 12th.
STATE OF THE CHURCH REPORT
Rev. Michael D. Ritter, Sr. Opportunity has been defined as “a special arrangement of circumstances
offering a person the chance to step in with ideas for something new, something better,
something unique. It can show itself as a favorable occasion, time or place for learning
or saying or doing a new thing. It offers a means of self-expression.”
Opportunity seldom presents itself to a single person – it is out there for many
to vision, yet only a few have the keenness to recognize it. Why is it that one person
can seize an opportunity when others pass it by – not realizing what is right in front of
them? “If I had only known!” they cry.
Some take advantage of opportunity because of personal greed or the
willingness to step out and risk.
But sometimes, the factors of success are often merely a blending of natural
talents with just plain hard work. A salesperson who doesn’t stop with the first call, or
even the second or third; the job seeker who doesn’t give up after he’s been turned
downed a couple of times are opportunistic people.
Don’t wait for opportunity to knock down your door, but realize that success
favors the persons who work and keep on working while they wait on the breaks. Read
the book of Acts and you’ll begin to see why men with little to recommend them as far
as personal credentials turned a world upside down. They were opportunists. Yet their
real motivation was not personal esteem or glory. They sincerely believed there was no
salvation in any other person than Jesus. When told to stop talking about Him, they
replied, “We cannot for us but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
Friends, right now at Trinity opportunity is knocking. In many ways we have
already grabbed the bull by the horns, but in others it is time to open the door. Our
Administrative Board and Finance Committee are looking at a budget that we have
never seen before. In addition to that, we are looking at a capitol campaign for a
building project in the near future that will shape Trinity for years to come. I look to
this as an opportunity for us to focus on the future and the ministry that is before us.
God has given Trinity UMC the people, the knowledge, the leadership in all areas, the
resources and the desire to do His will. The opportunity is NOW my friends for us not
to sit back and see what the future will bring, but rather to step out on FAITH, SEIZE
the opportunity which has been given and to GO wherever He leads!
Whether it’s talking insurance or Jesus, opportunities often knock but once.
You either use them or lose them. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity – that means
you and God make a majority, and that spells opportunity in any language.

TREASURER’S REPORT (September 2017)
Music Ministry News Oh, the weather outside is..., sorry, it is too early for that. The weather has been a little cooler, and it is
wonderful. It finally feels like fall. It is also a very busy time. In November, we celebrate All Saints’ Day,
Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christ the King Sunday. Both the orchestra and the handbell choir will be
playing. Near the end of the month, we will transform the church for Christmas. The music department is
preparing Christmas music that will start the first Sunday in December. This year there is a Sunday
between Thanksgiving and the start of Advent. It is Christ the King Sunday. We are planning a special ser-
vice to celebrate the seasons of the life of Christ.
I am continuing with information on hymn writers, and this month I am telling you about Fannie Crosby. She wrote
more than 9000 hymns, some of which are among the most popular in our hymn book. For most people, one of the
remarkable things about her is that she accomplished this in spite of her blindness. Her love of poetry began early. She
wrote her first verse at age 8. She memorized the Bible and was able to memorize five chapters per week. Shortly
before her 15th birthday, she went to the New York Institute for the Blind. She was there as a student for 12 years and
as a teacher for another 11 years. By age 23, she was addressing Congress and making friends with presidents. She
knew all the chief executives of her lifetime, especially Grover Cleveland, who served as secretary for the Institute for
the Blind before his election. Another member of the institute, former pupil Alexander van Alstine, married her in
1858. Considered one of New York's best organists, he wrote the music to many of her hymns. She put music to only a
few of her hymns though she played harp, piano, guitar, and other instruments. More often, musicians came to her for
lyrics. For example, one day musician William Doane dropped by her home for a surprise visit, begging for her to put
words to a tune he had recently written. He was to perform at an upcoming Sunday School convention, and the train to
that convention was leaving in 35 minutes. He sat at the piano and played the tune. "Your music says, 'Safe in the
Arms of Jesus,’” Crosby said. She scribbled out the words immediately. The hymn became one of Crosby's most
famous. She was under contract to submit three hymns a week to her publisher but often wrote six or seven a day. She
received a dollar or two for each one. Many became popular. When Dwight Moody and Ira Sankey began to use them
in their crusades, they received even more attention. Among them are "Blessed Assurance," "All the Way My Savior
Leads Me." "To God Be the Glory," "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior," "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," "Rescue the Perish-
ing," and "Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross." She could write very complex hymns and compose music with a more clas-
sical structure, but she preferred to write simple, sentimental verses that could be used for evangelism. She continued
to write poetry up to her death, a month shy of her 95th birthday. "You will reach the river brink, some sweet day, bye
and bye" was her last stanza.

VETERANS DAY 2017 MESSAGE This is a time for all Americans to reflect on the many sacrifices and hardships that our
veterans have endured. Without their courage America would not be “home of the brave and the land of the free.” “Freedom is
not Free.” Today we are a nation embroiled in many conflicts around the world. This should remind us all of our men and
women who have given so much.
Please take a moment to thank all our veterans for their service. The veterans in our congregation and their military branches
are listed below. If you are not on this list, please let us know. We will honor our veterans on Sunday, November 12th.

Pastor’s Pondering Continued from page 1.
Trinity has grown so much over the last several years, and the future seems even brighter. We continue to change lives
in so many ways. When opportunity knocks, we have answered. Whether it is our missions or evangelism, our focus is one
that is looking outward as well as inward. We are continually being challenged with new opportunities and blessed by the
response. Our worship services continue to grow in spirituality and hospitality. One comment that is heard more than most
from those visiting Trinity is the warmth and spirit of this wonderful church. Many have stated that if they lived here, Trinity
would be their home. Because of our continued growth in worship, we have begun an additional service in the Fellowship Hall
during the 11:00 hour. It has a more contemporary feel than the services in the sanctuary but is warm and spiritual just the
same.
We also have been growing in other areas as well. Our youth, children, UMM and UMW continue to reach out and
minister where called. These groups have been active in ministering to their own members as well as the community around
them. We have done service projects, mission projects, worship opportunities, community help in addition to state-wide
support. Where we have been called as a church, we go. I encourage those who are not active in these groups to get involved,
learn the message that these groups are preaching – then carry the message out.
In addition to all the giving and ministry that the lay members are doing around the church, Trinity is also fortunate to
have an excellent staff. I am personally thankful for all the hard work these faithful disciples are doing. I believe that it is a
calling that they are answering, not necessarily a vocation. We have each been given an opportunity before us; it is our
responsibility to seize the moment.
My focus for Trinity this coming year is to do just that, Seize the Moment. Too often we treat church as a place that we
come and get refreshed and that we is half the truth. The other part is a responsibility that many churches fail to achieve. That
part is delivering the message to those who have not heard. The motto of the United Methodist church is: "Open Hearts, Open
Minds, Open Doors, the people of the United Methodist Church." It is my prayer this year to focus on this mission. As I stated
earlier, we have a bright future in front of us. Because of this, we need to seize the moment. How are we going to shape the
church today that will shape the church of tomorrow?
My final comment is the same one that I closed with last year. I do believe that there are wonderful and exciting things
going on at Trinity. As I look out in the congregation on Sunday, visit in the community during the week, or work with the
different groups and committees, I see the Holy Spirit continuing to move amongst us. Let us continue to please God with our
prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness and open our hearts, our minds and our doors to the wondrous things God has in
store for us, and let us always remember to change lives by offering Christ.
Yours in Christ,
Michael Ritter

The Administrative Council will meet on
Tuesday, November 28th, 6 pm. All
committee chairpersons are requested to attend.
However, all members of the church are
welcome to attend. If members have items they
would like to have added to the agenda, please
contact: Alan Faulkenberry at 843-427-4013.
CHANGE IS A COMIN’
Contribution Envelopes
We have surveyed the congregation on
the use of contribution envelopes and
their preferences. There was no
consensus; therefore, we are ordering
boxes containing 100 envelopes without
names or numbers. From the input we
received, the monthly mailing will cease
in December. To receive a statement
for tax purposes, you must put your
name and number on the
contribution envelope. If you prefer
not to use envelopes, please put your
number on your check. Don’t know
your number? Call the office, and they
will be glad to furnish it. When you run
out of envelopes, let the office know,
and they will be able to replenish your
supply.
GOT LOOSE CHANGE?
On the third Sunday of each month except December, we have buckets
to collect your loose change for New Projects around the church and for
the anticipation of a new Christian Life Center. To continue this
outreach, bucket holders at the end of the service are needed. It takes
less than ten minutes once a month. It would be helpful to have teams of
four at each service to collect “Loose Change” once a month. Volunteer
to be one of the team members. If you need to miss a Sunday, you can
ask another person who attends that service to stand in for you. To help
out and for more information, please call or text Marie Peacock
at 843-340-2465.
