TRINITY TIDINGS

Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. Ecclesiastes 7:10a

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

You don’t think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking. Henri Nouwen

Just looking back over my own 50+ lifetime, incredible changes have occurred in just about any and every dimension of living. Some of the changes I have witnessed and experienced have brought joy and even wonder; other changes have brought sadness and confusion. Historians say that those of us who have lived from the 20th into the 21st centuries have experienced more change than any other era. While that is certainly true especially when we are speaking about technology, other changes like our ability to live peaceable lives and have a more equitable distribution of wealth seem like impossible dreams.

How do you view change? Are you a person who claims to dread all change? To truly dread or hate “change” would be to deny and turn your back on the blessings of growth, healing, wisdom . . . and new life. “If we don’t change,” journalist Gail Sheehy writes, “we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.”

The Bible tells us over and over again that God is a God of new ideas, of innovation. God is a God who uses change. As God said to the prophet Isaiah: “Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do some-thing new.” It seems that God wants us to pray for new visions, to seek out what can be, not what was. We are called to be living and loving differently than we had before because in our baptism we are called to newness of life.

Walking in newness of life is being open to God’s faithfulness. We hear about this in the story of Abraham and Sarah who leave the comfort of what is known and obey God’s call to go to a place unknown. From Genesis to Revelation, we witness the transformation of lives that walking the path of faith, hope and love brings about. Sometimes it is circumstances and situ-ations that are changed but always it is God’s people who are challenged to change so that we can be agents of newness of life in the world. God’s grace and God’s faithfulness makes it possible.

Being a Christian, Luther wrote, is not a state of being but one of becoming. We are always “under construction” or evolving. And we are called to be flexible and see things with new eyes, the possibilities that God’s grace and faithfulness can transform us. This is where I find M. C. Escher’s print Sky and Water (see above) so helpful and inspiring as a metaphor for transformation and the importance of perspective through it all.

Change happens. Everything that lives changes. As Christians we are called to a life of becoming. We can either walk this path of becoming, complaining all the way, or we can embrace it as an adventure. We can be armchair quarterbacks or pioneers who trust that God can transform our mourning into dancing, our sorrow into joy.

I hope you will join me on the adventure of faith and praying that we will trust that God’s grace and faithfulness is remaking us and making all things new.

Dear Friends in Christ,

I am thinking about computers in our world today. I saw an article in a recent issue of Time Magazine

that was entitled, Can Google Solve Death? Subtitle: The search giant is launching a venture to extend

the human life span. That would be crazy — if it weren't Google. It is not surprising that Google has

set this goal. The question remains: how is the information age making life more meaningful? How is

it making our lives more human? Many of us have seen how the presence of smart phones and tablets

provides information at our fingertips, but also, in many cases, draws us apart.

I found an article that provided some insight into the need for silence in our noisy, information-filled

culture. A group of Protestant heretics called the Rosicrucians may be lacking in their understanding of

Jesus Christ at work in the world. But, I am reminded that heresies can be learned from as well.

Jeanne Guesdon, a Rosincrucian from France, discusses the tendency toward inner pollution via too

much empty talk in an article from 1978 entitled, Inner Learning through the Power of Silence:

"The main trouble with today’s world is the lack of silence. Not only is contemporary society

literally poisoned by the tumult of machines (including talking ones), but also — and especially

— it is saturated with loud and empty words. It is a question of who will speak the loudest, who

will make the most statements, who will tell his or her story with the most trifling details.

How correct was Kierkegaard, the great Scandinavian thinker, when he wrote: 'The world in its

present state is sick! If I were a doctor and was asked for advice, I would answer: Be silent!'

Yes, true Rosicrucians can be recognized by their oral temperance, among other virtues. They

speak only sparingly, and the words they speak are rich in meaning. They practice the following

advice from a Sufi teacher: ‘If the word you are going to speak is not more beautiful than silence,

then do not say it!’”

— Jeanna Guesdon, "Inner Learning through the Power of Silence" (PDF), Rosicrucian

Digest, Vol. 87, No. 1 (2009), reprinted from Rosicrucian Digest, December 1978

There are passages in the Bible that lift up the importance of silence. Psalm 39 speaks of the blessing

of wisdom and forgiveness coming through silence.

What would the world look like if our families could agree to regularly power down our gadgets, enjoy

the silence and be moved to limit our speech to things more beautiful than silence?

Hoping for More Silence,

Pastor Wayne Dreyman

ATTENTION ALL WORSHIP ASSISTANTS . . .

There will be a training session/update for all worship assistants (assisting ministers, lectors, acolytes, crucifers, ushers) on Sunday, October 13 at 9:45 AM. ALL worship assistants are strongly urged to attend this session so that everyone can be brought up to speed

with a few changes being made to make our service run more smoothly and efficiently and hopefully be even more meaningful. New volunteers are more than welcome!

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS AND

COMMEMORATION OF ST. FRANCIS

Sunday, October 6

12:30 PM

BRING YOUR PETS!

St. Francis of Assisi is remembered not only as a friend of animals, but

primarily as a renewer of the church, urging the church to be faithful to

the Gospel. Francis, the son of a wealthy cloth merchant, renounced

his wealth and future inheritance and devoted himself to the poor. He

said that all followers of Christ had the task to preach the Gospel and to

“use words if necessary.”

In commemoration of St. Francis, please join us on Sunday, October 6, at 12:30 PM and bring

your pets for a brief, but maybe raucous, special blessing of the animals service.

THE TIDINGS

THE BOOK OF JOB AND THE MYSTERY OF SUFFERING

A Four-Week Bible Study on Tuesday Evenings at 7 PM

October 15 through November 5 The book of Job is regarded as one of the world’s literary masterpieces. It

contains some of the finest, most expressive poetry in the Bible. It is also

generally regarded as a study of the mystery of evil but Christian theologian

Richard Rohr writes that he prefers to look at the book of Job as “the

anatomy of a conversion.” Rohr reads the book of Job as a “journey into an

ever-deepening encounter with God.” The book of Job can help us face

life’s greatest pains and losses. It helps us see suffering and the wounds

we all bear as sacred.

This study of the book of Job will include an exploration of psalms of lament

and the book of Lamentations. Come and join our discussion of the

passionate testimony of an innocent man who went from being a victim to

being a survivor.

UPDATE ON OUR NEW ORGAN . . .

We are expecting the arrival of our new Allen organ on October 15. The

installation will take about three days, so we are hoping that the new

organ will be up and ready for worship on Sunday, October 20. None of

this is entirely “set in stone” so the due date and installation dates may

change somewhat. However, it is reasonable for us to anticipate that the

new organ will be installed and ready to go by Reformation Sunday,

October 27.

A dedication recital for the new organ will be held on Sunday afternoon, November 17th.

Dr. Andrew Moore will be our organ recitalist. The time of the dedication recital is yet to be

determined. Look for more information on the recital in the November Tidings.

A POSTCARD FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL

On September 29, we welcomed the children of Holy Trinity back

for the start of another year of Sunday Church School classes.

This year we will be studying the Old Testament with the Augsburg

Fortress CD series, Holy Moly, until Advent. We will then switch to

the New Testament to learn about the life and teachings of Jesus.

The Holy Moly videos will be supplemented by Spark, a curriculum available through Augsburg Fortress

online. The Spark curriculum helps kids from Pre-K to Grade 6 make sense of the Bible with engaging

resources and interactive activities. In addition, we will have a dozen Spark Story Bibles available for

the student’s use in the classroom.

We welcome back and thank our volunteers and teachers, Laurie Varga, David Barrett and Angela

Kuzmenka for their continued dedication to the children of Holy Trinity. And, we are delighted to

welcome a new addition to our staff, Karen Lindberg.

Do you know anyone who could be invited to Sunday school this year? All children ages 4 through

Grade 6 are welcome! Classes are from 9:45 - 10:45 AM. For more information about Sunday

school, please contact Angela Kuzmenka at djk62@yahoo.com or Pastor Susan at pastorsu-

sannj@aol.com or at 201-288-6889.

Please keep our Sunday Church School in your prayers as it embarks on a new year of learning.

FROM THE PORCH. . . for Seafarers — Christmas-at-Sea

Thanks to all who have contributed to our recent “From the Porch” project for our military. Many

phone cards and entertainment items have been forwarded to Adopt a Soldier — NJ for distribution

overseas.

During the months of September and October, we are asking you to help us bring a little joy to

seafarers who will not be home with their families for Christmas. In cooperation with Seafarers and

International House, a Lutheran mission serving seafarers, we will be filling satchels that will be

delivered to ships by port chaplains. On Christmas Eve or Christmas Day when a ship is in the middle

of the ocean, the captain will hold a celebration and all the crew will open their satchels.

Each satchel must contain the following items: One sweatshirt (hooded or unhooded size L-XL), three

pairs of socks (thermal or white gym), one casual pullover T-shirt (size M-L), one knit winter cap, one

can of nuts or a bar of chocolate and a personal Christmas card.

You can contribute all the items for a satchel or just a few. The boxes on the porch and in the lobby

are ready for your donations. If you have questions please call Sharon Ramsaier at 201-939-4156.

We hope to provide 25 satchels, enough for an entire ship and they will have to be ready by

Thanksgiving.

We invite you to participate with us in turning what might otherwise be a lonely night at sea into a

joyous occasion because strangers ashore have taken the time to share the spirit of Christmas with

these seafarers.

Thank you for helping us to be a blessing to others — to make a difference!

HELP A CHILD EXPERIENCE THE JOYS OF CHRISTMAS — FILL A GIFT BOX

WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) are again participating

this year in Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child, aka "The Shoe Box Project."

Through the end of October, we will be collecting items to fill shoe boxes for children

all around the world.

The details: You may pick up a shoe box at Holy Trinity and fill it with any of the suggested items listed

in the brochures that are located with the boxes or you may choose to use and decorate your own shoe

box (please wrap the top and bottom separately so it can be easily opened) and fill the box accordingly

or just donate any of the appropriate items. If you decide to fill a box, please be sure to indicate

whether the box is for a BOY or a GIRL and the age category, 2-4, 5-9, or 10-14 years of age, using

the labels available on the table in the narthex. All boxes and/or items must be returned

by November 3.

The opportunity: ▪be creative ▪think outside the box ▪put the items in a shoe box ▪make a child smile!

“Your gift of love may be the door God uses to open a child’s heart to Jesus. . .”

Update: In 2012, 22,697 boxes were collected just in our area (northern NJ); over 6 million were collected from the USA; and over 9 million were collected in all 13 "sending countries." Since 1993, over 100 million gifts have been distributed.

KEEPING UP WITH CONFIRMATION MINISTRY . . .

On Sunday, October 6, Confirmation students will receive a “Connect” Study Bible during the morning worship services. Part of the curriculum for the year will be an overview of the entire Bible and a look at our book of faith from many different perspectives — historical, literary, archaeological and, of course, theological.

Nine students (all boys!) will return for their second year of Confirmation studies on Monday evenings at 7 PM beginning on October 7. The first session will be an orientation to Confirmation and CnC for parents and students. All young people in the 7th through 9th grades are welcome to enroll for CnC. Throughout the autumn, the class will also participate in a variety of service opportunities from assembling sustainable lunches for Bridges Outreach to baking cookies for our college students.

On All Saints Sunday, November 3, five young people who have completed their preparation will be affirming their baptismal vows in the rite of Confirmation during the 11 AM service at Holy Trinity. The Confirmands will be presented to the congregation on Sunday, October 20, and will meet with Pastor Susan for lunch immediately following that service to help in the planning for their Confirmation Day worship service.

Please keep all of our young people in your prayers throughout the coming year.

READERS

The Reader's Group has selected to

read And the Mountains Echoed

by Khaled Hosseni, author of The Kite Runner

and A Thousand Splendid Suns. His new novel is

about how we love, how we take care of one

another and how the choices we make resonate

through generations. The story explores the

many ways in which families nurture, wound,

betray, honor and sacrifice for one another and

how often we are surprised by the actions of

those closest to us at times that matter most. It

revolves around not just parents and children,

but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers

and follows a family from Afghanistan to France,

California and Greece.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Friday,

October 18, at 6:30 PM. The place will be

announced as we get closer to the date. If you

have any questions, please contact the church

office at 201-288-6889.

A MESSAGE FROM THE STEINHAUFFS. . .

Thank you everyone for your well wishes, cards, calls, and prayers. We are truly overwhelmed by just how many kind words have come our way. As you know, Arnold suffered a cervical spine injury on August 30 that left him instantly paralyzed after falling down while cutting the lawn. Within 10 hours of the injury, he underwent a 7-hour surgery to realign and fuse his spine in order to give it the best chance for healing.

Please continue to keep Arnold in your thoughts and send healing prayers his way. Knowing that we have the support of so many kind friends will help propel us down the tremendous road of rehabilitation. On behalf of all who serve as assisting

ministers and acolytes, many thanks to

Laurie Varga for cleaning the assisting

minister and acolyte robes!

Sincerely,

Church Council

Dear Friends at Holy Trinity,

Another September here, in with a new school

year!

Thank you to everyone who donated books for my classroom!! I really appreciate it!

Love, Sara Mammone

A great big thank you to all who remembered me with cards and calls and to all who celebrated my birthday with me on August 24 at Holy Trinity. Thank you, too, for remembering me with the flowers from church and for all the good wishes and prayers you offered on my behalf. God’s peace and blessings to all of you.
