It was good to see Heydi
again. We as a church
helped her out a few years
ago. It was good to see her
precious girls who came
running to us for hugs and
holding hands. She cried
when we talked, sharing
benedictions with one
another. I wished then and
there my boys could meet
her girls, to smile back and
forth, to speak words full of
heart but as of now would
have little meaning—not
yet, because of the language
barrier. But maybe someday
we’ll speak benedictions to
one another without a
translator, my family to
hers, hers to mine, speaking
to one another in her
beautiful Spanish, adding
one Mayan Kaqchiquel
word at the end: Matiox
(mah-tee-osh). “Thank
you.”
Matiox. Thank you. What a
privilege it was for our team
of eight to represent you as
a congregation. To
represent Jesus and his
compassion. Matiox.
The team members were
Jane Musgrove, Wayne
Meyer, Doug Lewallen,
John Peimann, John
Hoestje, Erin Hoestje,
Hanna Hurt, and myself,
Ben Vineyard. We worked
hard and enjoyed a good,
pleasant rhythm with the
people of Guatemala and
with our wonderful
missionary hosts, Joe and
Cindy Betsill and Carlos
and Patricia Locon. Work
consisted of moving
materials and such for
Elvira’s (El-vee-rah) home.
We dug some deep holes
for footers and tied a lot of
rebar. We visited the work
being done on a kitchen for
Selvin and Guadalupe’s
home also, but didn’t spend
much time working there.
During the days we paused
for visits with families we
helped in past years with
home projects.
We spent a good amount of
time at Anjelica and
Eduardo’s place last year.
They were happy to see us
again, and us them. We
talked for a little while and,
per what seems to be the
tradition, spoke
benedictions to one

Sunday School Kickoff By Julie Messbarger
August 20, 9:45am
Mission Campus
September 10, 9:45am
Shawnee campus
Welcome to the start of
another great year of
Sunday School! We hope
this information will give
you a glimpse into what is
happening in the life of
our children at Trinity. We
are excited about this new
year and hope you are too!
Mark your calendars now
for Sunday School Kickoff.
Kickoff will be on August
20 at 9:45 am at the
Mission campus and
September 10 at 9:45 at the
Shawnee campus. This will
be a parent/child event
where we will share
pertinent information
about the upcoming year.
You and your child will
meet the Sunday School
teachers and visit the
classrooms. At least one
parent from each family is
expected to attend with
their children. We will then
continue the kickoff
celebration with fellowship,
fun, and breakfast.
Sunday School
registration is now open.
Please visit the Sunday
School page on tlcms.org
to register.
Blessing of the Backpacks By Rhonda Synovec
August 20, 8:30 and
11am Worship Services
Both Campuses
Get your child’s school
year off to a great start by
helping to keep God on
their minds during school.
Have your child bring his
or her backpack to the 8:30
or 11am worship services
on Sunday August 20 for a
Blessing of the Backpacks.
We will pray for your child
and offer a special blessing
for them as they enter into
the new school year.
Mentoring at Mission Campus By Julie Messbarger
All children from second
to fifth grade are assigned
a youth or adult mentor.
This is crucial to forming
relationships at Trinity.
Each mentor volunteers
his or her time to make
connections with each
child. It is important that
children are here by 9:35am
so that they can spend the
full ten minutes with their
mentor. Children two years
through first grade will
spend this first 10 minutes
participating in classroom
activities.
Page 3 The Messenger
Give thanks to
the Lord, for he
is good.
His love endures
forever.

study promises to be a great
one, with Pastor Ron
leading a study on the
gospel of John. Martin
Luther referred to John as
“The one, tender, real
crown-Gospel of them
all.” Indeed it is! Jesus is
presented more clearly in
the Gospel of John both in
word and in deed as the
divine/human Savior of the
world than in any other
writing of the New
Testament or the entire
Bible. Quite often, when we
recommend a beginning at
Bible reading, we may refer
a person to John. There the

intergenerational event for
children, youth, families and
all congregation members
on Sunday mornings at
Trinity from 9:45 – 10:45am
at both our Mission and

This Sunday, August 6, we
will be making pet toys to
donate to the ASPCA.

by donating school supplies.
Bags with lists of supplies
attached were handed
out following worship the
weekend of July 29-30.
Don’t worry—it’s not too
late! Visit tlcms.org to view
a list of supplies. Please
consider making a donation
and bring your bag back to
church by the following
weekend on Sunday,
August 6 at the Shawnee
campus or Wednesday,
August 9, at the Misison
campus. Your generosity is
greatly appreciated!
We are again continuing our
important ministry to assist
with supporting low-income
families at Rushton
Elementary School. Help us
send the children off to
school with all the supplies
they need to give them a
jump start toward success
Intentional Personal Ministry By Tom Perry
Saturday, August 19,
9am-noon
Mission Campus
What is a personal
ministry and, more
importantly, what is your
personal ministry? Most
people, if asked if they are
loving and caring, would
most likely characterize
themselves as being so.
But how does that
manifest itself into
intentional action by you?
How are you spreading
Christ’s love and promise
to others?
On August 19 at 9am
Trinity will sponsor an
event in which we will
encourage and assist you in
finding ways to participate
in your own intentional
personal ministry. We will
have members of the
Shawnee and Mission
campuses tell what they
have done and how they
got started. You will have
the opportunity to
participate that morning in
an in-house mission
activity. The goal is that you
will leave looking for ways
that you can uniquely share
the blessings of being a
Child of God.
Sharing the unique gifts
God has given you can
come in a wide variety of
ways. Find ways that you
share with others in an
enjoyable and eager way.
We hope to see you on
August 19!

Mission Campus
We will begin our worship
together with a Summertime
Hymn Sing! This is a great
opportunity to sing your
Summertime Hymn Sing By Ben A. Spalding
favorite hymns of the faith.
Our Music and Arts
Director, Ben A. Spalding,
will lead this inspiring hymn
sing and we’ll use specific
verses of the hymns you
suggest that morning so we
can sing as many selections
as possible. If you have a
favorite hymn, plan on
sharing it that morning as
we join with the heavenly
chorus in praising our
wonderful Creator!
Part of our 2017-2018
budget are repairs to the
Mission campus parking lot.
These repairs include
replacing the concrete curb
and asphalt at the two
western entrances from
Woodson Road as well as
seal-coating and restriping.
The entrance repairs will
likely occur the week of
August 10-14. These two
entrances will be unavailable
the days of these repairs.
The entrance off of 62nd
Street will be open to
provide access to our
parking lot.
Top coat seal and striping
will occur the week of
August 22 – 25. This is
expected to take one
day. Of course this activity
is dependent on weather, so
we will not know the
specific day until much
closer to the activity. The
church office will connect
Mission Campus Parking Repairs By Larry Conrad
with the groups that have
events scheduled for the
day(s) we expect the
parking lot to be off-limits.
We do not anticipate any
restrictions to accessing the
parking lot for Saturday and
Sunday worship services.
We appreciate your
understanding as we try to
juggle building
access during
these repairs.
This entrance will be
closed for repairs.

another. It’s a profound gift
to have someone here look
you in the eyes and speak a
word of God’s peace,
God’s presence, and God’s
grace to you. My breathing
slows and eyes flutter shut
after this. It’s a sacred thing
to receive.
The same thing happened
when we visited Irma again.
She promptly invited us in
and onto the roof of her
home, which is where the
most space was for
company. There we talked
and enjoyed the fruit she
gave us as a gift. Hanna
brought along some
bracelets to give to children
and she gave so many away!
She gave one to Irma’s
daughter. Irma wanted me
to tie it to her little wrist. I
did, smiling. Her big, brown
eyes looked at me. She
smiled shyly as I tightened
the knot. The bracelet was
still so loose, but Irma gave
me a hug and said,
“Gracias.”
“Gracias. Thanks be to
God,” she said. “I thank
God for you, for your
church, for your work. My
family is blessed because of
you. May God bless you
and your families also.”
Irma, this beautiful Mayan
woman, speaks this blessing
to you, my friends at
Trinity. Gracias!
There’s another special
tradition to these
Guatemalan trips. Patricia
likes to put together a
cultural experience night
where we share a traditional
Mayan meal and learn about
the culture. The food was
beyond delicious (even the
extra little green pumpkin
Doug asked me to eat for
him, quickly, before anyone
saw)! The experience is
great.
Later in the week we drive
to Chuchipaca, which is
where efforts are made
through Trinity mission
work to provide food and
better housing conditions
for the people there.
Chuchipaca is remote and
they welcome us with pine
needles spread on the
ground. It’s how they
decorate for special
occasions. They prepared a
meal for our time together, a
meal for which Trinity
purchased materials. They
eagerly wait for the shoes
and sweatshirts we brought
there from you. The
children’s faces were eager
like our children’s faces at
Christmas.
Matiox…
This year I saw how much
the work of empowering
women mattered. It’s
essential to the mission here
in Panajachel and
Chuchipaca. We talked with
Mercedes and Gloria who
are missionaries of sorts;
their ministry received mini-
grant support and other aid
from Trinity. They have a
ministry of helping women
navigate and step into a new
future, new self, by God’s
grace and God’s presence.
They care for women
suffering in abusive
relationships and who come
so near to death and severe
malnutrition. They find
these women and graft them
into a community of grace,
support, and
Page 9 The Messenger
companionship. It’s
beautiful to hear about. It’s
beautiful to see their faces
glow yet also drop tears as
they share the stories of
liberation, stories that are
their own past as well.
This is why I think a very
special gift given to Jane
Musgrove was wonderful to
witness. The women of
Chuchipaca looked Jane in
the eyes and said, “Thank
you for your leadership and
your work.” Jane would tell
you all she doesn’t see
herself as a leader per se,
but a companion among the
others in the team. But
when those women looked
at Jane, I wonder what they
saw. A woman who had
traveled so far to help
others, who worked to get a
group of fellow missionaries
(of sorts) to Guatemala. It
was neat to see her
celebrated in this way.
There are many other
stories to tell and our team
will gladly do so at both
campuses. We’ll let you
know when that happens.
Until then, remember the
goodness of God, the grace
of God that’s yours in
Jesus. Remember to look
those around you in the eye
and know them as the
blessing that they are. And
receive the blessings they
might speak to you, maybe
with words you do not
understand. Benedictions
come that way, I’ve learned.
And the peace of God
continues to surpass all
understanding. Let’s keep
the beautiful people of
Guatemala in our prayers
and in our compassionate
action. Let’s keep going to
Guatemala to do what we
can so that the love of God
continues to ripple from one
smiling face to another,
from one benediction to
another.
Grace and peace to you,
Pastor Ben

Our fiscal year ended June
30, 2017. We are thankful
for your generosity and
commitment to the
ministries at Trinity. Our
offerings ended 1.4% or
$18,932 over our budget of
$1,340,236. Our expenses
were consistently under
budget for the year. This
resulted in a positive net
balance of $22,010
compared to the budget of
$115. Our new year has
begun, and we have started
the year with continued
strong giving. Thank you!
Trinity offers multiple
methods of making

Conrad.
As we move forward, we
keep Trinity’s two strategic
goals in mind: spiritual
growth in Christ and
