The Trumpet

From the pen of Pastor Mark

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Wow, where has the summer gone? After a COVID “year” that has seemed more like half a decade, the summer has just flown by and here we are at the verge of Rally Day and two Sunday services starting just around the corner on August 8th. Please be sure to be a part of Sunday School as you are able. With all the turmoil in our nation and world in recent times as well as imposition of human ideology that has proliferated more and more institutions, we need the common grounding of a focus on scripture and a foundation of God’s Word to lead us, to guide us, and to strengthen us together.

After some great longevity and holy ministry, we’re also saying goodbye to staff who have made the shift to retirement to spend more time at home with family, including an early retirement for Bonnie Garrett, our Office Manager, on July 15th and retirement for Gaye Markham, our Director of Children and Adult Education, on August 15th. We give thanks both for their ministry and for their hearts of service and love.

As you receive this, we will probably be on the verge of having our August 1st Town Hall Meeting after Sunday worship to discuss survey results about our Modern worship and a possible move to Sunday morning. We will also share some additional discernment from the Transition Team and have time for Q&A, comments, and mutual discernment together. Come be a part of it! We are intentionally having one meeting together in hopes of having both Saturday and Sunday attenders present at the same time for both sharing of results and for continued discernment and responses together.

Earlier I mentioned a focus on God’s Word to lead us, guide us, and strengthen us. During some recent time off with family, I did some reflection (completely unplanned since I was on vacation!) about the future and a sense of vision for the fall and going forward. Sometimes a few days away can help clear your mind. It’s a simple concept, with just three words, each with an “s” sound that perhaps can help remind us of the Spirit. Three words work well for a congregation named Holy Trinity. It also works with our name to imagine them in a connected circle, with the first word at the top of the circle, then going around to the other two and back to the top again, repeating the circle again.

The words for us to consider are Scripture, Stewardship, and Celebrate (still an “s” sound). It seems to me that one feeds and leads to another. We begin with Scripture, to guide us and deepen our faith, to give us direction for abundant lives and to be the servants of the Lord we are called to be. This leads us into Stewardship, which is what we do with what we’ve been given (our very lives, our time, our money, our hearts, our priorities, our work, our effort, our energy, our gifts and talents…all of it.) Being grounded in God’s Word through the Scripture gives us focus, purpose, direction, meaning, and passion for the Stewardship of how we live out our lives. Then we are called to Celebrate our “wins” and all the ways God has blessed us in ministry and in life. We give thanks to God and remember together all the work of God’s hands, for which we simply gather in joy and celebrate. This leads us naturally back into God’s Word through Scripture again for the next steps all over again!

Let me know what you think of this idea and let’s focus together as we transition into fall with Scripture, Stewardship, and Celebration.

May God bless us in our walk of faith together, drawing us closer and deeper to God and to each other.

In the Love of Christ,

Pastor Mark

The Newsletter of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

A Message from our Church Council President: Dear Friends in Christ: As always, I hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well! It was a real pleasure seeing all the Vacation Bible School kids (and many of their parents) at last Sunday’s service, especially as they were mixed in with the many members who have returned to the live service.

As things have opened up over the last few months, people are getting more active again, and the scientists tell us getting more active is good for our mental health in handling stress. I could see the truth in that last Sunday, in how relaxed and happy everyone in the congregation seemed to be after the service.

Similarly, I think that being active in the church can also be good for your spiritual health. We’ve all heard before that we need to live our faith as well as meditating on it, but I don’t think it’s about paying dues (it’s grace not works, after all). When you act on your beliefs and help at MUST ministries, make a donation to the Navajo water project, be a worship servant or participate in any of the literally dozens of opportunities the church offers, you are strengthening your own faith just by demonstrating it to others.

It also helps me personally to focus on the needs of others, even if it’s only for a short time once a week. Psychologists will tell you that focusing on others reduces stress, but it’s also great exercise for our faith to directly live the values of humility and the Golden Rule.

Of course, moderation in everything and quiet meditation is also good and necessary for balance in your faith life. Because our salvation is a gift of grace, we don’t need to spend all our waking hours trying to get more points on the board before the final buzzer!

You are the best judge of what activities feed your personal faith and energy, and now that we are re-opening this might be a good time to consider whether your faith journey might benefit from a little balancing between the active and quiet parts of your meditations.

And don’t worry, this isn’t an appeal for volunteers (that’s next month). I just think that the re-opening is a good opportunity to consider how and where we should resume being active Christians after so many months in isolation and reduced activity throughout our lives.

Yours in Christ,

Mark Ritter

A Message from your Stewardship Ministry Team: “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV)

When it comes to your giving, there are two principles you need to remember, and they’re based on 2 Corinthians 9:6-8: “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work” (NIV).

The first is the principle of harvest: What you sow, you’re going to reap—for good or for bad. In other words, you’ll harvest whatever you plant. That’s true about money, but it’s true about everything else, too. If you sow criticism, people will criticize you. If you sow gossip, guess what? Others will gossip about you. If you plant resentment, people will resent you. What do you need more of? Whatever it is, give it away, and you’ll get more back. Do you need more energy? Then you have to spend energy through exercise. Do you need more affirmation in your life? Give it away by affirming other people.

If you take a kernel of corn and plant it in the ground, do you get one kernel back? No! I’ve actually planted corn in my yard before. When you plant one kernel in the ground, you don’t get one kernel back. You get a stalk with a bunch of ears and thousands of kernels. When you plant an avocado pit, it grows a tree. Do you get one avocado back? No. You get hundreds back. You always get back more than you put in.

The second principle is that there’s always a delay between planting and harvest. When you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t get an ear of corn the next day. You plant in one season, and you harvest in another. The same is true in giving. You give to other people. You give to God. You give your life away—but you don’t reap the results the next day. There is a season of waiting before God gives you the harvest. Why? Because God is testing your faith to see if you’ll trust him while there’s a delay between planting and harvesting.

While you’re planting and waiting, you can trust God will provide grace so that “having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” Remember these two principles: First, you reap what you sow; second, you plant in one season but have to wait and harvest in another. Learn these principles and apply them to your life—and you will have so much joy in giving!

Youth Ministry

Leslie and her Youth Ministry volunteers did a wonderful job assisting with the VBS stations. They helped teach the kids the new songs and moves, taught games, aided with crafts, got the kids where they needed to go and assisted the adult volunteers to keep everything running smoothly. You could see smiles not only on the volunteers, but all the children who attended.

On the Sunday after VBS, the volunteers also helped with the Easter Egg Hunt and helped the kids sing their new song in the service. It was a joy to see, so tune into YouTube and look at the July 18 service if you couldn’t attend.

Right after that service, Leslie, Pastor Mark and some Youth went to Lutheranch for a mission trip. Details will be shared in September.

Children, Adult and Family Ministry Update

Page 5

How wonderful! Our week was different and amazing. The children were few but we got to connect with each one like we always wished we could. It wasn’t just my last VBS, it was another step closer to finishing my time here at Holy Trinity. I can’t begin to tell you what this has meant to me. Together, we have started so many ministry events and the Children’s area has been completely transformed over the years, from beige to beautiful. Thank you Janet Stratton, Scott Stephan, Linda and John Vogt and so many more volunteers who helped with painting and staging the area.

Thank you to the many others who have moved on in their lives to other locations, I remember the fun we had. Thank you to the many who helped pull the space together

and those who helped at our events. I’d love to list your names but there isn’t enough room to do that on one page, let alone one Trumpet. Your time, energy and desire to be used by the Lord in the lives of children has blessed me and so many kids along the way! I will miss being here more than you know. I will pray for God’s blessings to be apparent in this place and to overflow in each of you. Much love always, Gaye

Our children aren’t the only ones who

benefited from VBS. Thanks to donations, we

collected $275 to send to God’s

Global Barnyard to help children and families in other countries.

Pay it BACK … Pay it DOWN… Pay it FORWARD Our Final Year

Total dollars pledged 2019 - 2021: $645,080 Actual dollars received to date: $479,875

Our Capital Campaign is quickly coming to its conclusion at the end of 2021. Over the last 2 ½ years, your Capital Campaign Committee has diligently worked to apply the funds provided, and address the three segments of the campaign: 1) Repair our Church home; 2) Pay down HTs mortgage; and 3) Provide a tithe to designated outreach organizations.

Sooooo, what is next on the project list this summer:

1) New concrete curbing from the Columbarium to the street will be poured this month. 2) Parking lot patching, re-surfacing/sealing and re-striping, plus trenching to alleviate drainage issues. 3) LED lighting project now completed, with NO ‘strobing’ issues and with the capacity to dim lighting, both of

which are very good news.

More good news…all three of these projects are quoted to be under the budgeted dollars!

While good work has been done addressing all three goals of the Campaign, Pay it BACK, Pay it DOWN, & Pay it FORWARD, we are close to not meeting our total pledged amount. Please review your individual pledge, and if possible, meet that pledge before the year-end. For those of you who have already met your pledged amount… THANK YOU (of course, any further support would be greatly appreciated)!

If you are a new member to Holy Trinity, or if your individual circumstances have changed, please consider supporting HT’s Capital Campaign. Should you have any questions, please contact me at my email: jimrw2016@gmail.com.

Prayerfully Submitted, Jim Wood, Capital Campaign Committee

Update Update

Thanks to all of our HT volunteers, our community received 46 plates of food at MUST in July. Because of your generosity, our leftover casseroles, salads and cookies go on to feed on other days when no one is signed up to serve.

We are always looking for more volunteers to provide food and to join our team! If you would like to provide food, see the items below you can purchase. We’d also welcome your time. Contact Laurie Johnson at 706-325-6466 or laurasiebertjohnson@gmail.com.

If you are interested in helping us with this ministry, here’s how: Send in a check made out to Holy Trinity for $25.00 marked “for MUST

Lunch” Buy a large can of sliced peaches Purchase a large bag of salad Purchase cookies

Please also continue to pray for this ministry and for the hungry in our community!

My family is so very grateful for the

many kindnesses expressed as we had

my mom's memorial service on July

10th. The service and the reception

provided sacred space for our family to

grieve, praise God and celebrate her life

and reconnect with each other. We are

so very grateful to everyone who made

this possible and made it so special.

Oktoberfest News Hello Holy Trinity. SO we’re at decision time about Oktoberfest. IF we can find a group or combination of groups to take over the food service part of Oktoberfest, we can still try to put together an event for this year. It will definitely be a little different, but an Oktoberfest none the less.

The food service requirements include ordering/purchasing brats, buns, ice, potato salad ingredients and pretzels. It also includes three to four days preparation (planning and cooking), getting donations of German chocolate cake, strudel, sauerkraut and drinks, and working the day of Oktoberfest.

A group or combination of groups can split the proceeds from the day. Please consider if this annual event will be back this year and if you can help fill the opening of Food Service.

Thanks for your consideration and feel free to contact me with any other questions, Mimi Jones at 678.778.6464 or mimi@dajones.com.

The Trumpet ▪ August 2021

Easter fun arrived early or late, depending on your point of view. Either way, the kids from Holy Trinity and VBS had a blast collecting the colorful eggs.
