Happy New Year, and Grace and Peace to all of you!

I hope that your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations have been joyous, refreshing, and, as much

as possible, full of peace. I was well pleased with our worship services this past Sunday (Christmas

Eve.) I believe they were as beautiful and meaningful as any I can ever remember, and I want to

thank everyone who made it possible: Dr. Charlotte Anderson who led the choir and helped plan

music; Joy Wood and Laura Reames who played the organ so beautifully; all the choir members;

Sara Wright, her family and Brenda Mooneyhan who set-up and took-down for worship; our youth

who provided instrumental music and served as worship assistants and acolytes; Cal Churn who gra-

ciously volunteered to be assisting minister at the last minute; all our ushers, and, most especially, all

of you, the members of our congregation who made worship a priority during this busy time and en-

abled all of us to have such a joyous celebration of the Savior's birth.

But now we move (rapidly) to the I Sunday of Christmas, New Year's Eve. This Sunday our worship will

center around John's beautiful hymn to the Incarnation in the first chapter of his account, and

(inspired by both the success of the Christmas Pageant and the 500th Anniversary of the Reforma-

tion) Martin Luther's most famous Christmas Carol "From Heaven above to Earth I Come." It will be

our last chance this Church Year to celebrate the good news of Christ's coming as the Child of Beth-

lehem -- I can't imagine a better way to close 2017 and looking forward to 2018.

But saying all that, it comes to that time of year again, New Year's Eve, that time of year where we

all collectively make promises to ourselves of the things that we want to do in the new year of 2018.

Maybe eat less and/or exercise more -- I know that's a personal goal of mine. Be more loving. Show

more peace and understanding. Be more giving. Tell people thank-you. And more…

Though, almost inevitably, there will come a time – as it happens for all of us – that we will slip and

we will slide back into our old ways and habits. Often, I’m victim to that as well. However, I wonder

if this year could be a little different even as I hope and pray that each of you are able to buck the

trend of failed resolutions this year together with me. My hope and prayer for this year is that I ap-

proach what I want to do in this new year a little differently. Though what I hope to do will ultimately

be of benefit to me, I don’t want to do it for just me and my sake. In fact, I think that is where we

fall into the trap of not completing and following through with what we’d like to accomplish in our

lives. When we only have ourselves to hold us accountable and only ourselves as "goal", it makes it

very easy to "lapse" in our determination.

My hope this year is that I can continually look at what I hope to accomplish and be able to frame

it as what I can do for and with God and God’s people. Most years I’ll say, “I’m going to exercise

and eat less so I can stop getting bigger.” ...which is a statement that really only ‘benefits’ me. My

hope this year is that I can instead say, “God has given me this body – this incredible body that can

do so much – I hope and pray that I can care for my body as much as God cares for me, that I can

return the love that God has for me in this gift by taking care of what God has given me, taking care

of myself for my service to God, my family, the people who call me pastor, and more."

Page 3: TRUMPET - Amazon S3 · JANUARY 2018 TRUMPET HOLY TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH Council Members Barbara Bedford Lynn Bulle Pam Churn Terry Huret Edna Kinner Dan Kleven Amy Louthan JoRita

In years past I might have said, “I want to be more charitable (because I know it makes me feel

good).” This year, I pray and hope that I can say, “God has blessed me with so very much – posses-

sions, skills, and money – that I feel called to give to those in need." Truthfully, I don’t need a lot of

this stuff because God has given me more than enough. I want to give – not because it makes me

feel good, but (because in the abundance that I have been blessed with by God) I want to give

and share with those around me.

There have been those times that I might have stated that, “I should probably be more forgiving

and gracious to people around me – it’ll make my life less stressful.” Again, that’s something that

only benefits me. So, this year I pray and hope that I can say, “God calls me to love those around

me because they too are beautiful creations of God. In each person I see and interact with – even

the ones that frustrate me to no end – are my sisters and brothers, fellow children of God."

God directs my words and actions to be loving, kind, gracious, and full of forgiveness to those

around me because I have already been (and continually am) loved, forgiven, and blessed. As I

approach this new year of our Lord 2018, and see what can transpire throughout this year, I con-

tinue to pray, hope, and hold fast to God. Knowing that in each of the things that I’d like to accom-

plish, I know that I don’t approach them alone, nor do I undertake them as a sort of Lone Ranger.

But, I seek to live out my faith and service to God and my neighbors, by caring for myself, offering

myself to others, and caring for all around me. I do this all because of Jesus who has claimed me

and freed me in his death and resurrection. So, my question for each one of you, my fellow and be-

loved sisters and brothers in Christ, is simply this: are you willing to join me in letting God be the cen-

ter of our year 2018?

Will you join me in letting God be the focus of what we can accomplish in our lives in 2018? Will you

join me? Will you make your worship attendance, your giving, your serving, your willingness to share

your congregation and its worship life with your co-workers, neighbors, fellow volunteers, organiza-

tion members, etc.?

If so, and if we will entrust those choices to God and power of His Holy Spirit, then this new year,

much like our Christmas worship, may be the best we can remember in a long time!

To God's greater glory, and in His service,

Pastor.

Dear Friends in Christ,

Together with Hanneke, John and Andrew, I want to thank all of you for the cash gift that your Congregation

President, Edna Kinner, presented to me on behalf of all of you. Your generosity is another expression of the

many thoughtful ways in which you care for us. We've yet to decide how we will spend the money, but what-

ever we purchase or do with it, I am certain it will serve as a constant reminder of your friendship and love:

many, many thanks.

Also let me take this opportunity to once again thank all of you for your individual gifts, cards, homemade

goodies and other remembrances this holy, hectic season. It is truly a blessing to have so many tangible ex-

pressions of love and support, and I pray that God may continue to bless you richly this New Year so that you

might continue to prove faithful, generous and compassionate stewardship of His grace.

Gratefully, yours in Christ Jesus,

Pastor

Council Meeting Minutes Summary

2018 Budget: Greg Rasmussan reported 42 pledged giving units have been submitted for 2018 thus far – there

were 47 pledged giving units total in 2017. However, he also reported a slight increase in estimate of giving for

2018. Martin Schick reviewed the draft 2018 budget. A line item of $9,100 for Youth Leader was included in the

draft 2018 budget. It is anticipated that the Youth Program assessment and program development process will

be completed no later than 2nd quarter of 2018 with a March target date. The Worship & Music expenses can

be adjusted based on the Congregational Survey and approved long-term broader plan.

The estimated total 2018 revenues equal $315,000 and the estimated total 2018 expenses equal $315,807. The

draft 2018 budget will be available to our members for review prior to the 12:00PM January 28, 2018 Holy Trinity

Lutheran Church (HTLC) Annual Congregational Meeting, and will be on the agenda for discussion and a

Congregational vote.

Worship & Music – Thank you for completing the Worship & Music Survey. The results are being tabulated.

JoRita McMurray extends an invitation to members who are interested in being on the Worship & Music Com-

mittee to contact her at 423-967-4795. The Committee will meet on January 5th to discuss the survey and next

steps. This committee needs a chair!

February Leadership Retreat – Our Council and Committee Members will participate in a Leadership Retreat

on February 24, 2018 8:30am-2:00pm at the Church. We will finalize an agenda in January. We welcome mem-

bers feedback via Council and Committee Members as we serve our Lord Jesus Christ in guiding HTLC.

Church Security – The safety and welfare of our members is a top priority.

Two actions were approved by the Council:

1. Our building code will be changed in January. The Audio/Visual Committee is currently responsible for

changing the code and communication to the Congregation. The specific new code will be shared using our

standard practice.

2. HTLC will conduct a Security Assessment in partnership with the Sullivan County Police Department. Officer

Greg Simcox has developed an assessment for churches and has agreed to work with HTLC. A Security Team

has been staffed with the following member volunteers: Larry Glauer, Hans Kinner, Sue Rasmussan, Zack

Trumbo. Other volunteers are welcomed. This Team will work closely with Committees that have a direct link-

age to the topic, I.e. Property Committee

From your Stewardship Team:

What Kind of Christian Are You?

A new beginning like that offered with each new day, but for a whole year!

So now is the time to get out a calendar and to block out the year ahead,

week by week, month by month, season upon season. What activities do you

plan to do this year? What things would you like to accomplish? Have any-

thing to wrap up this year? Maybe something to start?

That is what the New Year is about: a time to begin, a time to finish, a time to

look forward, a time to recall, a time to seek, a time to fund, a time for us all to

be all that we are and all that God created us to be! From the viewpoint of

both the church and the secular world, we will now be in a New Year of

Grace. For the church, New Year’s came on the first Sunday in Advent, and for

the world, it will come on January 1st. With God, there is no time. God is eter-

nal, without beginning and without ending. A thousand years in God’s sight is

but a moment past. We, however, live in time, the time given to us by God,

the Creator of time. Time is given to us to live in, for and through God. Time is

made holy (or unholy) by how we use it, either to the glory of God, or to the

Glory of ourselves, as we are known to God.

January is Glaucoma Awareness Month

“The Silent Thief of Sight”

Glaucoma is defined as a disease that damages the eye's optic

nerve. It usually happens when fluid builds up in the front part of the

eye. The extra fluid build up increases the pressure in the eye and

damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness.

The only sure way to diagnose glaucoma is with a complete eye

exam performed by your ophthalmologist.

Some people are at a greater risk of getting glaucoma.

Those over the age of 40 with a family history of glaucoma.

Those of an African or Hispanic heritage.

Individuals having a high ocular pressure and persons that are farsighted or nearsighted.

At risk persons who have experienced an eye injury, and ones who have a thinning of

the cornea's center and individuals with a thinning of the optic nerve.

Diabetics and people with health problems that affect the whole body are at risk.

Glaucoma damage is permanent. But medicine and surgery can help to stop further dam-

age.

Spotlight on

Patty & Dan Firth

This month, our Spotlight focuses on two members, one

from Connecticut and one from Minnesota, who met out

in the West while on a backpacking trip in the Grand Can-

yon. The good Lord has a way of bringing together folks of

good chemistry.

Patty grew up in Watertown, MN. While in high school she played the clarinet in the band

and at the same time became an accomplished pianist. She was involved with her church

choir and youth group and still fondly remembers the enjoyment of attending Holden Vil-

lage Lutheran Retreat Center in the state of Washington.

While in college, Patty pursued a love for math at St. Cloud State University (MN). She

graduated in 1983 with a major in math and a minor in computer science. After graduation

she worked for three different companies in MN – NCR Comten, ETA Systems, and 3M as a

software engineer designing and writing software.

Dan was born in Stamford, Connecticut. He grew up in Wilton, CT and West Winsor, NJ (near

Princeton). As a young man in high school he was a member of the school’s tennis team

and still found time to squeeze in golf and baseball. Early on, he had a love for the outdoors

and involvement in Boy Scouts, interests which served him well later in life.

In college, Dan went to Franklin-Marshall (Lancaster, PA) and graduated in ’84 with a

chemistry major. He went on the University of Minnesota where he earned a PhD in physical

chemistry.

After their meeting at the Grand Canyon, Patty and Dan begin to date and were married

on October 24, 1987. Patty and Dan remember one highlight of the wedding reception

which involved the Minnesota Twins. During their reception, a grand slam home run was hit

by Kent Hrbek which led the Twins to a 6th game victory over the Cardinals. (The Twins went

on to clinch the world series the next day.)

The Firths moved to Kingsport in 1990 when Dan and Patty accepted jobs with Eastman.

Dan, as a Research Analytical Chemist and Patty as a Systems Analyst. Patty ultimately left

Eastman to start a family while Dan went on to spend his entire career with Eastman in Re-

search. Concurrently, he also served as an expert in Six Sigma (process improvement meth-

odology).

Page 9: TRUMPET - Amazon S3 · JANUARY 2018 TRUMPET HOLY TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH Council Members Barbara Bedford Lynn Bulle Pam Churn Terry Huret Edna Kinner Dan Kleven Amy Louthan JoRita

Patty & Dan are blessed with two chil-

dren, Ben & Rebecca who’ve always

been active in Holy Trinity. Ben gradu-

ated from Austin Peay State University

with a double major in physics and

computer science. Rebecca is in her

junior year at Sullivan South and contin-

ues to be quite active in church as one

of our accomplished musicians.

In their 27 years in Kingsport, the Firth’s have been ultra-busy. They joined HTLC in the mid to

late ‘90’s and have always been significant contributors. Patty has served as a pianist, and

as a member of: the quilting group, a nursery volunteer, a Sunday school teacher (12 yrs.),

director of the children’s choir, a member of the choir and the hand bell choir, Mutual Min-

istry, Worship & Music Committee, VBS (8 yrs), playground committee, and Christian Ed. She

played a significant role as a member of the Youth Director search committee in helping to

craft the job description.

Dan, as a volunteer has utilized many talents. As a woodworker, for example, he just com-

pleted our new communication boxes at Holy Trinity. He also helped to oversee son, Ben’s

Eagle Scout project at HTLC which consisted of designing, refurbishing and building a much

-needed archive room on the 2nd floor of the church. Dan’s service at Holy Trinity has in-

cluded leadership of and membership on the Pulse, Vision and Mutual Ministry Teams.

In the community, Dan has been an active assistant Scout Master of Troop 48 in Colonial

Heights. He also served on the Scout’s District Commission. Leadership-wise, he has served

on Kingsport Tomorrow’s Board, and as a member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy,

the TEC Hiking & Canoeing Club, Eastman’s Photography Club and as a member of Appa-

lachian Voices where he works with communities to help ensure healthy living environments

(e.g., analysis of water quality).

With the Conservancy and the Hiking Club, Dan has helped maintain the Appalachian Trail,

a never-ending task. While doing all of this he has managed to hike over 1,000 miles of the

Trail. With the Conservancy, he helps to monitor rare plants and camp sites.

In support of their children, both Patty and Dan have been actively involved with the quality

of schools in Sullivan County. They serve on the Sullivan South Band’s Executive Board and

Booster Club.

Particularly in this day and age, it is a delight to see members like Patty and Dan who have

given so unselfishly of their time and talents. We are blessed to have them as members.

COFFEE ANYBODY??

We all love our coffee and snacks between services. The Gathering Room fel-

lowship is great and we love to see it.

The on-going expense of providing “goodies” can begin to stress the budgets

for Evangelism and Congregational Life. So, to help cover expenses of sup-

plies, etc., we encourage you to occasionally donate loose change or a dol-

lar or two to help defray the weekly cost. You’ll note a CONTRIBUTION BOX on

the coffee table for this purpose.

Thanks for your support.

By the way, any suggestions for improvement are welcomed.

(Gene Childress, Marty King, Charlie Nitschke, Sue Rasmussen, Tim Steadman,

A CLASH OF KINGDOMS: Paul Proclaims

Jesus As Lord — Part 1

Be the message. As Christians, we’re called to proclaim God’s

name in all the earth (1 Chronicles 16:8), but how do we do that in

the midst of false gospels? In this fifteenth volume of That the World

May Know film series, discover how Paul communicated the Good

News of Christ to Philippi, a Roman colony that worshiped false

gods. Can you live the message as Paul did while he encouraged

the church in Philippi to consider itself a colony of heaven, not

Rome? Consider your citizenship—and the message you convey to

the world—as Ray Vander Laan takes you deeper into the culture of

ancient Philippi.
