From the Pastors

Dear Parish Family,

In the Holy Scriptures, the heart is symbolic of our will to do good or evil. The Bible refers frequently to the evil of the human heart. The author of Genesis tells of God’s assessment of the hearts of human beings, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” (Genesis 6:5 NKJV) Christ speaks of the evil of the human heart. “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” (Matthew 15: 18-19 NKJV) From the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, human beings have had evil in their hearts, that is, at the very center of their being.

Pharaoh’s evil is described as the hardening of his heart. In Isaiah, the king of Babylon is called Lucifer, later a name for Satan. He is described in this way: “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;” (Isaiah 14: 12-13a NKJV) The proud king also says, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” (Isaiah 14: 13 NKJV) Like Pharaoh, the king of Babylon has an arrogant and prideful heart. It is no surprise considering the magnitude of human evil that those who govern are inclined to arrogant and prideful hearts.

“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22: 37 NKJV) How can we obey the Law as summarized by Christ from the heart? We cannot on our own.

From the Pastors Continued from pg. 1

After his sin of adultery with Bathsheba and his arrangement of the murder of Uriah, her husband, King David cries to God for cleansing from his terrible sin. He prays words of his own composition, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.“ (Psalm 51: 10 NKJV) In the story of the prophet Nathan’s confrontation of David about this sin, David responds not with excuses or a lie but with a confession of sin. “I have sinned against the Lord,” he says. (See the whole story in II Samuel).

David turns to the Lord in repentance for His sin. He knows that only God can cleanse it. The dynamic is that of repentance and forgiveness. I John recounts the centrality of this dynamic. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (I John 1: 8-9 NKJV) John writes that it is the blood of Christ who cleanses us from our sins. (I John 1: 7) In the Book of Revelation we hear the message of redemption by the blood of Christ from a heavenly choir consisting of the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders, “For You (Christ) were slain, And have redeemed us to God by your blood.” (Revelation 5: 9 NJKV)

The heart of the believer is cleansed by Christ and yet we still sin. Here is a paradox. How is it resolved? We shall continue this series on the heart next month and consider this and other questions.

In Christ, The Rev. Dr. Michael G. Tavella The Rev. N. Amanda Grimmer

Holy Trinity Blood Drive

Friday, June 6, 2014

To donate blood or if you have any questions,

contact Marilynn Murphy or the Church office.

Our local hospitals order an average of 2,000 blood products each and every

day. Meeting the daily demand for blood while maintaining our ability to

respond to an unexpected emergency is a constant challenge. A three day

supply of all blood types is the optimal safe level.

Please do not wait for an emergency to give blood. Everyday, patients suffering

from cancer, sickle cell disease, and life-threatening injuries are in need of

blood. Giving blood is one of the easiest and most important ways you can help

patients in your community.

I don’t quite know how to put into words all the emotions I’m feeling during my last couple of days as Holy Trinity’s

secretary. During my eighteen years, I have come to know and love you as my extended family. You made me feel

welcome from the very beginning. When I attend a service here, I’m always surprised at how few of you I don’t

recognize. Although I haven’t met every one of you, I’ve probably talked to you all on the phone at one time or

another. Thank you everyone for your friendship and kindnesses.

The words “Thank you” don’t seem enough to cover the gratitude I feel toward you all. First on the list is Pastor Mike

and Pastor Mandy who have been here for me during all my ups and downs. They were the first ones at the hospital

to pray with me when I was going through my medical problems. During that time Sue Tolton stepped right in and

kept the office running until I could return to work. Working with Jackie Smith and getting to know Kile and watching

their daughters grow has been a pleasure. Thank you to all the office volunteers over the years who came in and gave

Holy Trinity their time to help me with so many projects.

The brunch was absolutely wonderful. It was so heart-warming to see all of you there in the sanctuary and in

Fellowship Hall to say goodbye. I know Tina Bednarczyk and Janice Donnelly played a big part in the preparations for

the party. Thank you to them and to everyone else who had a hand in the celebration whatever it may have been from

planning to cooking to cleaning up. The hall looked just beautiful.

Your very generous cash gift was overwhelming. I plan on using the gift for something special but I haven’t decided

what yet. The Willow Tree Angel figurine and the beautiful prayer shawl will be treasured forever.

I am grateful that Bill and our family was invited to share in all the festivities. I’ve talked about them constantly and

now you got to meet them. I’m looking forward to a whole bunch of lunch dates and phone calls now that I have spare

time.

God bless you all.

With love to you all.

Earl & Judi Reeder’s Road to Estonia – Part 2

We are thankful that so many of you have read our Part 1 story – we know because several of you have asked when our mission trip is. The dates of the trip are August 13 – 25. We will leave the US on July 24 for a trip in Germany and Poland, flying to Talinn, Estonia on the 13th ready to meet the rest of the group when they land on the 14th – all jet-lagged while we will be bright eyed and bushy-tailed.

This month we want to highlight the training we are doing in preparation for the mission. In the past, all of our mission trips have been through the local congregation, so any training was accomplished in person, meeting at the church at a regular time to cover all that the leader thought was necessary.

EEMN runs mission trips every year and has developed distance training regimens for new enrollees, for second timers and for those who have been on more than two mission trips with them. We have at least two members of our ‘team’ who are going for their third year.

The training is in two sections – seven lessons that focus on thriving in a different culture, and five on teaching preparation. Training must start by May 11 in order to complete one lesson a week before leaving for Estonia. We have been working ahead so that we complete the training before July 24.

The first lesson is on the website, which one downloads, answers the questions, watches the highlighted video and e-mails into the EEMN office. Within a day or two, the next lesson is emailed back and you start the process all over.

The first section uses a book titled ‘Short-Term Missions Workbook – from mission tourists to global citizens’ by Tim Dearborn. The content is aimed at people who have little or no international experience or involvement with cultures not their own. This enables anyone to become comfortable with and allay fears they may have about the upcoming trip.

In the meantime, our Pastor Leader has started several emails to the entire group for us to add or comment on – always using reply all. In this way we have shared our bios and are beginning to get to know each other.

We encourage you all to check out EEMN.ORG for information on the other things that EEMN is involved in. And also, keep us in prayer as we do the training and get ready to be part of the Estonian English Bible Camp this August.
