"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." Well, it soon will be. By the time you read

this, the church should be all decorated for Christmas, yet it just doesn't seem like it should

be here. The choir is well into practice on Christmas music, and the handbells are getting

ready as well. We go straight from Thanksgiving into Advent with the first Sunday of

Advent being on what many consider Thanksgiving weekend. Each Sunday in Advent there

will be special music and a special Advent reading to go with the lighting of the Advent wreath candles. The first

Sunday the choir is singing a new anthem that has wonderful words to go along with beautiful music. We will have

a French horn playing along with us. The second Sunday the handbells will play, and the third Sunday, the 15th,

will be the Christmas cantata. This year we are doing "The Living Creche," and the choir singing will be

accompanied by the youth and children as the many characters of Christmas. Please make plans to see this at either

the 8:30 am or 11:00 am service. With an orchestra playing with us, this should be wonderful, and you will hear

many Christmas carols. Christmas Eve will be here before we know it, and there will be four services, starting at

4:30 pm with a traditional and Encounter service. Both of these will start with beautiful prelude music as always.

Then there will be another traditional service at 7:30 pm and the candlelight service at 11:00 pm. If you desire, you

could attend three totally different services that evening. Just plan to be there, so you don't miss the joy of Christ-

mas Eve. There is a lot going, on and as fast as this year has gone, it will be over before we have time to think.

From Albert and me, we wish each of you the Hope, Peace, Joy and Love that this Season brings

us. May each of us have a personal encounter with the Christ Child.

Boston Butt Sale…12/20/19

Are you already stressing about how

you will be able to get everything done during the

hectic holiday season…then let Salkehatchie help you with the

cooking! Everyone knows that the week before Christmas is a

busy, busy week with the wrapping, cleaning, baking and

cooking just to name a few of the multitude of activities going

on. Why not enjoy a delicious Boston butt during those days

and leave your oven free for those scrumptious cookies and

pies that you will be baking? The Trinity Salkehatchie team

has your back (along with your stomach and your sanity). We

will be selling Boston butts (~10lb. average), including

homemade sauce for $35 each. If you are one of those super

organized kinds of people who has already meal prepped and

frozen your meals for that week, you can still pass on the

Christmas spirit by donating a Boston Butt to Trinity’s ASAP

program. The butts will be ready for pick-up on Friday,

December 20th between 2:00 and 4:00pm in the Fellowship

Hall. See the insert in the bulletin to order.

The proceeds will be used to assist those attending Penn Center

used to repair the homes. If you have any questions, please

to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church.

Around the Circle(s)

In this season of good news to the world that Jesus is born, we have some good news to share also. Last

year at this time, UMW was having a fundraiser through Atlantic Stage Theatre to raise money for a bus for

Wallace Family Life Center, a UMW mission. Through the grace of God, we raised over $6,000! This Christ-

A Letter from Matthew Black

Dear Trinity,

I sent my Angel Tree application to

the chaplain around July. Hopefully,

Trinity will get Kam’s name again.

He enjoyed his gifts last year so

much and was so very thankful. The

Angel Tree camp sounds awesome. I

have thought about the opportunity to

help incarcerated individuals and

their children in some way after I am

released. Thank you for doing it

now.

In Christ,

Matthew Black

Mission Ministry News December 2019 Angel Tree is coming.

Our Boy Scouts of America troop, led by Kenneth McIver, will be scouting for food from December 1st – 15th.

They will be collecting can goods to help feed the needy in our area. There will be a tub in the same area as ASAP’s

tub for these can good items.

Because of your generosity, we raised $3673.00 for SHOES THAT GROW. That is 244 pair of shoes plus a few

dollars extra. Thank you so much for supporting this project.

At our Cupcake sale on the 17th we raised 681.00 to help feed our 60 veterans. Thank you for your support. I

would like to thank Rita and Ken Ledbetter who cooked and coordinated this fundraiser. I would also like to thank

all those who worked on Saturday and Sunday. What a great team we have working on ASAP!

Master’s Meal - If you are interested in helping with this mission, please contact Linda Jones (864-680-3994) or

Cathey Grant (704-737-2161). Linda and Cathey are the co-chairs of Master’s Meal.

Miracle of Hope at the Beach – Hopefully you read the article by Bob Jentilucci about this mission and the letter

from one of the families who received this blessing. Bob is looking for some new members for this mission. If you

would like to help, please call Bob at 724-777-1745. We would like to expand this next year, so Bob is looking for

housing near the beach. If you have a place and would be willing to donate a week to one of these families, please

give Bob a call. AND, OF COURSE, donations of money are always appreciated. Mark your envelope for “Miracle

of Hope.” If you have any questions, Bob is the man with the answers or you can give me a call and I will try to an-

but it might be a treat to give them something different. The 15-16 oz. jar is the perfect size. Thank you for your

support of ASAP. We could not help our veterans without it!

I realize that as Mission Chairperson I ask you for a lot. It seems that there is always someone or some group that

needs our help. There is a lot of need in our area and around the world. We are a blessed congregation and you

have always supported missions for which I am truly thankful. May God continue to bless you and TUMC as we

continue to help those in need.

DECEMBER MUSIC

Tradition, Tradition ,Tradition

Tradition is a wonderful thing, espe-

cially during the Christmas season. And

one of the most wonderful traditions

that we have developed here at Trinity

United Methodist Church is an evening

with festive Brass of Myrtle Beach. For the past 13 years,

they have brought us an incredible evening of joy, peace, love

and entertainment. From their instruments they truly emit

the sounds of the season. Coming from Brooklyn, New York

and remembering the Salvation Army bands who played on

street corners during Christmas, Festive Brass takes me back

to my childhood, and I'm sure they will do the same for

you. Please come and share this special evening with us on

Monday, December 9th at 6:30 p.m.. As with all of our

concerts, the admission is totally free, so bring your family

and friends for this incredible night of blessings . For more

information, please contact Rev. Ed at 843-421-7257 or the

church office at 843-272-5236.

Blue Christmas Service

Tuesday,

December 17, 2019

7 pm

Blue Christmas is a special holiday service

for anyone whose holidays may be difficult

to enjoy. Many things can steal the joy of

the season, such as the loss of a loved one,

a life-altering disease, diagnosis, or injury

or a major life transition (divorce, loss of

job, or change in life independence).

This candlelight service offers:

Strength for Today

Courage for Tomorrow

Peace from the Past

The evening is full of reflection, beautiful

music and the inspiration of hope, all in

the company of others also feeling “blue”

this season. Please join us in sharing the

hope that we are never alone in life's

struggles no matter the time of year.
