E:

D iane was born in San Fran-

cisco, California. She was

the first of 5 children born to her

parents, Tony and Lucretia Flores.

Diane's father and all 4 of her

grandparents were born in Sicily,

Italy. Her mother was born in

Pittsburg, California. Her parents

met and were married in San

Francisco, bringing 2 large Italian

families together.

She remembers growing up

with lots of music and wonderful

food. Diane grew up in the Santa

Clara Valley through her sopho-

more year in high school. At that

point her family moved up to the

Santa Cruz mountains.

After graduating from Los

Gatos High School, she attended

San Jose State College (now Uni-

versity) where, in 5 years, she

graduated with a BA in music and

a K-8 teaching certificate. She

met and married Larry Perry

while in college. Within the next 3

years they had their 2 daughters,

Alison (Hero) and Elisa (Welch).

While the girls were young, Diane

taught for 6 years, covering grades

K-6.

Though not having a music po-

sition, she was able to teach music

by trading class subjects with

other teachers. During that same

time she became involved in music

theater as accompanist, playing

for half a dozen large productions.

In 1976, Diane and Larry sold

their home in Loma Prieta, moved

into a school bus (converted to

very comfortable living quarters)

and, along with Diane's youngest

sister Lisa, hit the road and trav-

eled for the next year. Diane, hav-

ing a teaching certificate, allowed

them to take the girls out of school

and teach along the way.

They traveled north and up

through BC and back down on the

ferry to Vancouver. They stopped

and spent time (and fell in love

with) the then, quiet town of Port

Townsend. They settled here in

1977 where the girls went back to

school. Larry worked as a carpen-

ter and Diane immediately got

back to working as an accompa-

M y favorite part of my trip to Ha-

waii with Eric, besides getting

married to an amazing man, was hiking to the active

lava flow. In order to get to the lava we had to bike 3

miles and then walk 3 miles over the black and rugged

basalt field. It was an eerie experience walking over

the basalt as it cracked under our feet. The lava flow is

somewhat unpredictable, and I wondered as we walked

over the newly hardened rock

if there was lava flowing just

under the surface of what we

were stepping on as we made

our way towards the area

where the lava was breaking

out to the surface.

As we neared the area

where people were gathering

we began to feel the heat of the

lava long before we saw the

glowing orange goo that was

flowing out like a river from

the ground. It was so hot that

standing 5 feet from the breakout raised the air tem-

perature from 70 degrees to 120 degrees. At 3 feet from

the breakout the air temperature felt like the heat

coming out of an oven. Getting any closer was nearly

impossible as the air temperature was too intense to

withstand for more than a few seconds. We stayed for

nearly 2 hours simply staring at the lava and watching

it as it would build up under the cooled hardened rock

and then burst forth like a raging river. The earth was

being re-created right in front of my eyes as it had

been doing since the beginning of time. Witnessing this

new creation being formed right before my eyes was

such a privilege.

The image of fire and God in the Bible appears of-

ten. Malachi 3:2 poses the rhetorical question, "But

who will be able to stand up to that coming? Who can

survive God's appearance? God will be like white-hot

fire from the smelter’s furnace. God will scrub [people]

clean, refine them like gold and silver, until they’re fit

for God". Before I saw the lava I thought of this image

of God as something that was scary, as if God was out

to destroy people. However, after seeing the creative

power of the lava I had a new take on these images of

God.

Rather than seeing "the fire" imagery of God as a

terrifying judgment, maybe we can see it as a creative

force like the lava. It does burn up everything in it's

path, but it leaves a new creation in it's pathway of

transformation. To be honest, there have been (and

there still are) parts of who I am that I welcome God's

burning fire to consume and recreate. There were parts

of me that I gladly welcomed God's lava flow of fire to

burn up and recreate, leaving

a new and miraculous creation

of God. The addictions that

controlled my life in my past

needed to be completely de-

stroyed and remade by the all

consuming fire of God. In this

way of understanding the im-

agery of God as a 'consuming

fire' it is not something to be

feared, but rather something

to be welcomed.

We all have things about us

that we know bring harm to us

and to others. We have things in our lives that prevent

us from living the abundant life that we know is possi-

ble in Jesus. Sometimes the only hope we have for

transformation is the power of the Holy Spirit sweep-

ing over us and destroying these landscapes of our

lives so that something new can emerge that is a com-

plete transformation and re-creation of God. God's de-

struction is not to punish us, but rather to destroy

these strongholds of our lives and make all things new.

2 Corinthians 5:17 promises us that, "anyone united

with Christ gets a fresh start, is created new. The old

life is gone; a new life burgeons!" Destruction and judg-

ment then is not something to be feared but something

to be welcomed and embraced. As Christians we can

pray with hope for God to tear down parts of us, refine

us with fire, judge us with the wisdom and the ways of

God, and transform the landscapes of our lives so that

we can discover the new creations that are waiting to

bubble to the surface. Yes, God wants to wash over us

with fire, but only so we might be stripped of all that

which brings harm to us and to others and be re-

created to live lives like Jesus. So let us pray, "Come

Holy Spirit, pour over me like molten lava, and make

me into your perfect creation!"

TRUSTEES’ REPORT By Penny Vorster

Trin ity Times 4

T he Townsend Bay Ringers return Thursday,

April 26, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. for their 5th appear-

ance in the Trinity United Methodist Church Can-

dlelight Series. The ten talented local musicians look

forward to providing a whirlwind Handbell journey

around the world, directed by

Judy Schussler. The Town-

send Bay Ringers, Port Town-

send’s premier community

Handbell Choir, is comprised of

area musicians who travel

weekly from as far away as

Port Ludlow and Quilcene to

rehearse for concerts in the

community and performances

at local churches and retire-

ment homes.

When planning this year’s

concert, director Judy Schus-

sler focused on a wealth of mu-

sic available from countries

around the world to create an

international theme. A variety

of styles are especially suited

to handbell performance be-

cause of the many unique bell

techniques employed. The au-

dience will hear lush melodies

and harmonies, and unusual

percussive effects that are

achieved with “shakes”,

“swings”, and “mallets” as well as the “martellato”

technique of tapping the bells into foam padded tables.

The 11 member ensemble plays a total of 51 Handbells

and 37 Choirchimes requiring a great deal of team-

work. Each ringer plays only three to five bells that

must be integrated seamlessly

into the musical framework.

The musical parade of na-

tions represents Great Britain,

Russia, Japan, South Africa

and South America. Selections

will include “Scarborough

Fair”, an English ballad made

popular by Simon and Gar-

funkel and “Siyahamba”, a

lively Zulu freedom marching

song from South Africa. The

“Great Gate of Kiev” depicts

a grand city gate with majestic

carillon bell towers. A lively

Russian Dance will include

several unique bell techniques.

Sounds of the Far East will be

reflected in two beautiful Japa-

nese melodies with an almost

haunting quality when played

on choir chimes. The journey

ends in South America with a

popular Brazilian folk hymn

full of fiery Latin American

rhythms.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN By Sheila Burrell

tor for the Port Townsend and Chimicum High Schools

musical productions through 8-10 musicals. She

taught piano for years having up to 40 students at one

time.

She met and married Mike Thompson ("Mickey T")

in 1985. They were married for 10 years before he died

in 1995. During the time of their marriage, she was

elected to the Port Townsend City Council and she

served for 4 years. After that she ran the "Dennis

Kucinich for President" campaign.

Diane and her siblings took their father to his home

town in Sicily, which he left at the age of 6. Her dad

wept with emotion at the site of the home that his fa-

ther had built. They found family and fell in love with

the people and the place. On their third trip, 30 family

members took Tony's ashes back "home" to San Vito Lo

Capo, Sicily. That is Diane's favorite place on Earth,

next to Port Townsend.

Diane loves working with all aspects of Trinity

UMC. She feels it is the most comfortable church she

has ever been in, being a part of the music and the

beautiful, loving people. She also feels blessed to be

part of her wonderful family which includes 4 siblings,

2 daughters, 3 grandchildren and her mom (who just

turned 100). Life is full and rich!

(Spotlight continued from page 1)

W e’re baaaaccckkk! Actually, we

never left; we’ve been busier

than ever working with the architects to refine the

RFP language for the contractors who we asked to

submit bids for our building project and completing

the city permit processes.

We finally have the bids in hand and all three are

higher than we anticipated. So, on April 22 we will

host a congregational meeting to present the results of

the bids and discuss next steps. We have several op-

tions that we are excited to show you.

Our vision has not changed and neither have the

needs you expressed during the early stages of our

campaign. We will get there…

Please join us on April 22 after Sunday’s ser-

vice. We promise it will be interesting and worth-

while.

Our next regular meeting is Monday, April 9,

5:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to

attend.

TRINITY NURSERY NEEDS YOU!!

Trinity is planning on starting a drop-in infant child care program. This is a much needed service here in Port Townsend.

We are in need of your skills, love, and prayers.

We have started an Amazon wish list, www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3LOVI0EPK05S3, to help organize ideas of

what we will need. The wish list is not necessarily a shopping list, if you find a better deal or a different similar product,

that would be just fine. Gently used items are welcome too. If you have donations of baby toys, furniture, or other

items please contact Katie Finedell before dropping items at the Church or in the nursery.

We also need your talents! If you quilt or knit we could use small blankets and quilts, they make great soft surfaces for

babies to play on. We plan on utilizing volunteers from our congregation and also the community to staff the nursery. If

you are interested in playing with babies or know someone that might like to help please let us know and please spread

the word.

More information to follow in the weeks and months ahead. Katie Finedell: [email protected]

I t’s Easter! The highest and holiest of

the Christian holidays, Easter is cele-

brated on the first Sunday following the first full

moon after the spring equinox, usually occurring be-

tween March 22 and April 25. It falls on April 1st this

year.

Easter lilies decorate the church, symbolizing

beauty, purity and holiness.

Celebrations may be parades where women wear

big hats, kids decorated Easter eggs hunts, and spe-

cial lamb or ham dinners.

April 1st is also April Fools’ Day where people play

light-hearted jokes on one another. “Mother Nature”

is apt to play sudden tricks with us too, sunny one

day, cold and rainy the next!

APRIL HOLIDAYS By Molly Jacobson

TRINITY HIKING GROUP

Hiking is a fun way to get some exercise and fresh air, to enjoy the beauty of the Peninsula, and to be in fellowship with

wonderful people.

Our hikes are on Friday mornings and we stick to easier trails, usually hiking 3.5 - 4 miles each time. Emails regarding

the weekly Friday hike, are sent out early in the week, specifying details about the trail and carpooling arrangements.

If you are interested in being part of the hiking group, or want more information, please contact Nancy or Alan Stevens:

I n January, our monthly income fell

behind expenses, but the good news

was the prepaid pledges left us with more than enough

cash on hand to meet current expenses. In February,

history repeated itself as the monthly income was

$9,401 compared to expenses of $14,256. Thus, the to-

tal Income for February was less than the expenses by

$4,855. But again, the prepaid Pledges continue to pro-

vide us a positive cash balance to pay the bills. With

just two months into the year, it’s still early to start

worrying about cutting back on elective expenses in

anticipation of a cash shortage, but the Finance Com-

mittee is keeping a close eye on the situation.

This month, lets spotlight another Trinity gem

story, the Community Outreach activity of the Candle-

light Concerts that have been ongoing since February

2001, when the Nisqually Earthquake rocked Uptown

PT enough to knock Trinity off its foundations. Shortly

after the earthquake, Pastor Wendell Ankeny was ap-

proached by Mary Immel, Beth Mackey, Stan Goddard,

and Dick Immel to begin a monthly venue they called

Candlelight Concerts. These concerts were quickly ini-

tiated to help generate funding for the repairs, as the

City was considering condemning the entire church

building as a result of the structural damage. Fortu-

nately, the City gave Trinity time to make repairs and

the condemnation was averted. Later Evelyn & Willie

Freeman took over the managing responsibilities until

January of 2009 when the current impresario, Dan

Purnell, became the Candlelight Concert Series’ organ-

izer and began coordinating the Concert Series. The

proceeds from the concert donations still support

TUMC restoration and general operations. However,

once a quarter on average, the donations from concert

attendees are given to specific, outreach activities in

Port Townsend and Jefferson County. The Candlelight

Concert Series provides a unique venue for the many

talented musical artists that resided in and around

Port Townsend and are well attended.

Do those funds add up to enough to make a differ-

ence? I’m glad you were wondering about that, as it

just so happens they do. Counting just the last 5-years

(2013 thru 2017), the funds shared among 11 local en-

tities totaled $12,318! On average over the last 5-

years, each donation amount for these Outreach pro-

grams was $770. Furthermore, three of those programs

were supported more than once in that time period:

Toys for Tots (5 times), the Food Bank and the Boiler

Room (2 times each).

With that overview, I trust you will agree that the

breadth of the local charities that were supported over

the last 5 years is quite impressive, as their para-

phrased mission statements below demonstrate:

Boiler Room – building community by providing

food, music, job training, art training and more

Dove House – providing crisis intervention, shelter

and advocacy for victims of domestic violence

ECHHO – providing volunteer services and lending

medical equipment to residents in need

Gathering Place – helping enhance the lives of

adults with disabilities

Jumping Mouse – helping kids heal through ex-

pressive mental health therapy in a homelike place

Key City Public Theater – producing thought-

provoking and visually stunning productions

Maritime Schools – connecting the community with

its schools by supporting student learning through

a sense of place

NAMI Jefferson County – helping families and in-

dividuals living with mental illness to cope

Port Townsend Food Bank – providing food to

those families and individuals in need

Toys for Tots – collecting and distributing toys as

Christmas gifts to needy children

Keeping the Trinity physical site up and functioning

has a positive impact on the Community that goes far

beyond just providing a place for Spiritual Develop-

ment, as the Candlelight Concert donations supporting

local Outreach clearly demonstrates.
