Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The hottest summer days are behind us, and our 150

th Anniversary Celebration weekend is almost here.

We hope you are planning to celebrate with us, and en-joy the many activities – religious, historical, and social – planned for September 24 and 25, 2016. What a joy and privilege for us to serve as the Pastor of

Trinity Church, and the Chairman of the Anniversary

Committee, as we celebrate 150 years of dynamic and

meaningful ministry. God indeed has been faithful and

has honored the vision, commitment, and sacrifice of

those who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to establish

this ministry in 1866. He has continued to bless the

countless people who have served Trinity faithfully from

its founding until today. We indeed thank God for all our

past accomplishments, and we seek His grace and guid-

ance for even greater accomplishments in the future.

By Carolyn Lewis, RN

It seems summer just started and now fall is fast approach-

ing. I hope everyone has had a great summer and are looking

forward to returning to our church fall schedule. We are busy

right now getting ready to celebrate our 150th anniversary and

much planning has been done to make this a great event. Trin-

ity has been a strong congregation since its conception, and we

will pass the torch to the next generation to carry on our mis-

sion of serving God and sharing His Word with others.

Sometimes people get dizzy and they are not sure of the

cause. With that in mind, I thought I would share some infor-

mation on the types of vertigo.

VERTIGO

Vertigo is a sensation of motion or spinning that is often de-

scribed as dizziness. Vertigo is not the same as be-

ing lightheaded. People with vertigo feel as though they are

actually spinning or moving, or that the world is spinning

around them.

Causes

There are two types of vertigo, peripheral and central vertigo.

Peripheral vertigo is due to a problem in the part of the inner

ear that controls balance. These areas are called the vestibular

labyrinth or semicircular canals. The problem may also involve

the vestibular nerve. This is the nerve between the inner

ear and the brain stem.

Peripheral vertigo may be caused by:

Problem focusing the eyes

Benign positional vertigo (benign paroxysmal positional

vertigo)

Certain medicines such as aminoglycoside antibiot-

ics, cisplatin, diuretics, or salicylates

Injury (such as head injury)

Inflammation of the vestibular nerve (neuronitis)

Labyrinthitis

Meniere disease

Pressure on the vestibular nerve, usually from an

oncancerous tumor such as a meningioma or

schwannoma

Problem focusing the eyes

Central vertigo is due to a problem in the brain,

Usually in the brain stem or the back part of the

brain (cerebellum).

Central vertigo may be caused by:

Problem focusing the eyes

Blood vessel disease

Certain drugs such as anticonvulsants, aspirin, and

Alcohol

Problem focusing the eyes

Migraine

Multiple sclerosis

Seizures (rarely)

Stroke

Tumors (cancerous or noncancerous)

Symptoms

The main symptom is a sensation that you or the room is

moving or spinning. The spinning sensation may cause nau-

sea and vomiting. Depending on the cause, other symptoms

can include:

Problem focusing the eyes

Dizziness

Hearing loss in one ear

Loss of balance (may cause falls)

Ringing in the ears

If you have vertigo due to problems in the brain (central ver-

tigo), you may have other symptoms, including:

Difficulty swallowing

Double vision

Eye movement problems

Facial paralysis

Slurred speech

Weakness of the limbs

Exams

Examination by the health care provider may show:

Problems walking due to loss of balance

Eye movement problems or involuntary eye move-

ments (nystagmus)

Hearing loss

Lack of coordination and balance

Weakness

Tests

Blood tests

Brain stem auditory evoked potential studies

Caloric stimulation

Electroencephalogram (EEG)

Electronystagmography

- Head CT

- Lumbar puncture

- MRI scan of head and MRA scan of blood

vessels of the brain

Treatment

The cause of any brain disorder causing vertigo should be

identified and treated when possible.

To help resolve symptoms of benign positional vertigo, the

provider may perform the Epley maneuver on you. This in-

volves placing your head in different positions to help reset

the balance organ. You may be prescribed medicines to

treat symptoms of peripheral vertigo, such as nausea and

vomiting.

Physical therapy may help improve balance problems. You'll

be taught exercises to restore your sense of balance.

4

PARISH NURSE (continued)

To prevent worsening of symptoms during an episode of ver-

tigo, try the following:

Keep still. Sit or lie down when symptoms occur

Gradually resume activity

Avoid sudden position changes

Do not try to read when symptoms occur

Avoid bright lights

You may need help walking when symptoms occur. Avoid

hazardous activities such as driving, operating heavy machin-

ery, and climbing until 1 week after symptoms have disap-

peared.

Other treatment depends on the cause of the vertigo. Surgery

may be suggested in some cases.

Possible Complications

Vertigo can interfere with driving, work, and lifestyle. It can

also cause falls, which can lead to many injuries, including hip

fractures.

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you

have vertigo that does not go away or interferes with your

daily activities. If you have never had vertigo before or if you

have vertigo with other symptoms (such as double vision,

slurred speech, or incoordination), call 911.

CONGREGATIONAL CARE

We continue our card ministry for our nurs-

ing home residents and our shut in members.

Our Pine Bluff ministry is alive and well,

and we have had an increase in our attendance the

last few visits. Mrs. Hazel Willing is always willing

to play for our group singing, and she also directs

the choir at Pine Bluff for their Sunday night ser-

vices. She is 94 years young and has been serving

God with her music talents since she was 14 years

old. She is amazing. She started with Trinity

through her sister, Mrs. Alice Evans, who was a

faithful member until her passing.

LUNCH BUNCH

It is time for Lunch Bunch to resume and our

first gathering will be on September 14 at 11:30

a.m. Once again, Charles Paparella will be our

opening guest. I have to share his comment to me

when I sent him an e-mail, “You must know that the

Lunch Bunch is the highlight of the fall season for

me!” He also made mention of all the “presents”,

meaning the deserts that we send back to the station

with him. He will also be doing a little coverage of

our 150th anniversary the week ahead and said he

would be delighted to cover such an auspicious oc-

casion, and was proud he didn’t even have to look

up the spelling of that large word.

We have a couple of other new and exciting

programs planned for October and November; one

on Assateague and one on Wallops Island.

Hopefully you will all come out to join us to

kick off our new season and welcome Charlie back

to Trinity.

BUS TRIP

I have a Christmas show bus trip planned for

November 1. We will be going to see the Christmas

show at the American Music Theater. Our dinner

will be at Dienner’s Buffet. This is a new venue,

but I have been told by many the food is excellent.

We are also using a new bus service, JorLin,

this time. We will leave at 8:15 a.m. and hopefully

return no later than 9 p.m. The cost is $85 dollars

and all money needs to be paid by October 1.

SAFETY in PUBLIC PLACES Health Outreach Ministry

Dr. Dot Baker

This newsletter article features some basic information about our safety in public places. Our world

is very complex (and sometimes frightening) these days. Although we cannot avoid all threats and

hazards, we can learn and use some basic steps to protect our families and ourselves. The “most” ba-

sic step is to be aware of our need to learn about our safety ---in other words, be proactive in our

daily lives. Recognize that any place can be unsafe.

CLUES of Possible Danger: you are alone; area is dark or dim; area is very crowded or very open;

“feeling” that things are not right; someone is following you; someone is using rude language/

gestures and/or raising voice in angry manner or making threats; vehicles drive slowly or speed

around you; someone threatens or shows a weapon; your arms are full; you wear earbuds/phones;

folks are using alcohol/drugs; you cannot identify an escape route/emergency exit; you are wearing

expensive accessories; you display or brag about cash; strangers approach you with requests, prom-

ises, or threats; you “sense” that someone may be dangerous; you do not see any security personnel;

you are in an unfamiliar setting.

BASIC safety tips: educate yourself and your family about public safety awareness and tips;

“always”!! have a communication plan with family and friends (phone numbers, where you are going,

with whom, how long stay, when return); identify “safe” neighbors; do not leave children alone; know

where your children are; communicate with your friends about boundaries and safety action plan

when you are out with them; Stay Alert --- trust your instincts about strangers or “senses” of un-

safe people or situations; always scan/determine an escape plan; scan for security personnel and

emergency phones; carry your cell phone; be aware of the effects of using alcohol; avoid mind-

altering substances; walk with someone or small group; protect your belongings (keys, purses, back-

packs, wallet, credit cards, cash, jewelry, electronics, etc.); leave places that do not seem safe; get

out and stay out when alarms sound; ask questions if you have questions; face people when walking or

running; use cautions with phones, earbuds ( so that you can hear what is going on around you); carry

loud noise deterrent such as a whistle or pepper spray.

Letter from

the Youth Pastor ___________________________________________________________

This Summer has come to a close faster than any one of us ex-

pected. But, it has been a great one regardless. We completed two series this summer in youth.

We learned to be "Fearless" because the most common command in the Bible is "do not be

afraid". After learning we cannot both be fearful and love like Jesus, we then moved into our

"Upcycle" series. Upcycling is the art of taking something that is trash and, not just recycling it

but, turning it into something new, with a new purpose. Just as Christ did for us on the cross,

he took worthless sinners and made them into something new and better and now we can use

our spiritual gifts to serve our Lord!

Our "Fearless" and "Upcycle" series is not the only things we have done. We have had two

beach fellowship days and they were a blast! The Trinity ASP Trip was an amazing experience

where I was able to meet and interact with many youth and I look forward to seeing them

again. We also upgraded and remodeled the youth room in anticipation of a great year.

We look forward to so much coming up in September. With Sunday School Starting and, the

return of the school year in general, we will be having a Back to School Bash on Sunday Sep-

tember 11th. This date will also mark the start of our new schedule. We will be dividing up the

High School and Junior High Students but also keep the youth group unified through an over-

lap time in-between the two age groups meeting. This time will include snacks and social ac-

tivities. We also will be adding regular fellowship nights on certain Fridays throughout the

month. The Schedule is laid out below.

Sundays- 3:00-6:30

Middle School- 3:00-4:30

Both Groups Social- 4:30-5:00

High School- 5:00-6:30

Select Fridays- High/Middle Social- 4:00-6:00

As always feel free to contact me and follow Trinity Youth Group the Rising on social meet-

ing/email. Hope you had a blessed summer and I am looking forward to talking to you all

soon.

Blessings,

Trever Pusey

Christian Education

by Janal Walton Director of Children’s Ministries

SUNDAY SCHOOL - Joseph

This September 11, our Sunday School season begins with the study of Jo-

seph (Genesis 39-42). Joseph was a young man, seventeen years old, who had

grown up knowing that he was his father’s favorite son. Not only did Joseph realize

that, but all his other brothers knew it as well. Joseph must have believed himself to

be very special. We are also special people, and are GOD’S servants . Each

week we will explore God’s Word and see how it applies to our lives.

Thanks to everyone who makes it possible for a child or grandchild to get to Sunday school each

week---you make the difference!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

What fun we (Trinity UMC, Bethesda UMC, and Wicomico Presbyterian) had at the VBS Surf Shack

in the JMB on June 26-30. We had 18 preschoolers, 50-70 children, 20 youth helpers and 30-40 adults in-

volved each night with activities from arts and crafts, science, games, music, and Bible storytelling. Everyone

got involved and had a blast. We wrapped up the week with 170 people enjoying a hot dog dinner at Be-

thesda UMC, a children’s program, and then fun and games outside. A special thank you to Fire Station

Number 16 for bringing the fire truck and giving us tours of it. The bouncy tent was a huge success and made

a great ending to a great week. Thanks everyone!

SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL

Each Sunday, in the JMB, we have children and youth attending our 10:00

Summer Sunday School. Our youth are earning service hours and also benefiting

from hearing the Bible lessons. This summer has been focused on the stories of

Noah, Samuel, David, and Jesus’ miracles. Did you know that Noah’s ark was

450 feet long, took 12 years to make and was 4 stories high. Noah and his family

were also on the ark for almost a year—talk about cabin fever! Did you know

Samuel anointed two kings with oil—Saul and David. After David was anointed

at age 16…it would be another 14 years before he became king. Yes, the age of 30 , just the same age that

Christ was baptized and started his ministry. Please continue getting involved in church and Sunday School so

we can continue to review the Bible stories and how they apply to our lives.

One of our favorite children is AnnaLucille Graves who has perfect attendance this summer. Wow,

thanks to her mom and dad, Melissa and Zach! Also Luke Twilley, Lacey and Ryan Dunn, Ava and Isaac

Mah, and youth helpers - Sam Shannahan, Christian and Harrison Webb had very good attendance. What fun it

is to learn and do God’s work!

Testament: 1 & 2 Peter and 1 & 2 & 3 John. This

year we begin with the book written by the disciple

RECIPE OF THE MONTH

Salted Caramel Apple Poke Cake

Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ white cake mix 1 ¼ cups water 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1 can (20 oz) apple pie filling 1/ 2 cup caramel sauce 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed 1/3 cup butterscotch chips

Direction

Heat oven to 350° F (325° F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or lightly spray bottom only of 13 x 9-inch pan. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 2 minutes. Add ap-ple pie filling; beat 1 minute longer. Pour into pan. Bake as directed on box for 13 x 9-inch pan. Cool in pan on cooling rack 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of the cara-mel sauce and the sea salt. Poke warm cake every inch with a straw or handle of wooden spoon, half-way into cake. Pour caramel-salt mixture over cake, allowing it to fill in holes. Spread cake with whipped topping. Drizzle with re-maining 1/4 cup caramel sauce; top with butter-scotch chips. I like to just use a white glaze and then pour the caramel sauce over that.

TRINITY’S UNITED METHODIST WOMEN

Sandy Robinson, President Our United Methodist Women’s Chicken Salad and Bake Sale was successful with changes made. We made $2,300.00. With the upcoming celebration of Trinity’s 150th anniversary, there is no Fall fundraiser planned, but there is one in the works for the Spring. Again, we thank the congregation for their generosity and support, as we strive to serve Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Please check future church bulletins for meeting dates and times for circle meetings. We will begin meeting in September. You are always wel-come!

Join us for the 2016-2017 school year! Welcome back to all of our Children’s Choir families! As we get into the swing of things with the new school year, I

want to extend an invitation to all members and visitors of Trinity UMC to join us on Sunday mornings on the 2nd floor

of the JMB for Children’s Choir.

The group meets each Sunday immediately after the completion of the 9:30 service in the sanctuary. We enjoy a time of

fellowship, singing, playing instruments, learning about God, and learning about music. The group completes rehearsal

by 11:00am each week, and we look forward to seeing new faces all the time!

Children between Kindergarten and 5th grade are welcome to join the group at any time during the school year. Each

year the kids love to work for our fun incentives, prizes, and games…and even a special sweet treat every now and

then! We start and end the year with a special party to celebrate our new and returning members.

Please join us at the completion of the 9:30 service in the JMB and just follow the signs! Contact Sarah McCabe at 443-

235-2287 or shether16@yahoo.com with questions or comments. Have a child that is outside of the age range listed

above? Everyone is welcome! Please contact me so that I can help to arrange something that works for your child.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Thank you!

Thank you all so much for thoughts, prayers, visits,

cards, and phone calls after surgery. Special thanks to

Rev. Patterson and Rev. Vroman for visits and prayers.

Recovery is progressing normally.

In Christian love,

Judy and Kern Briele

I wanted to thank you immensely for the scholarship

and the support you have provided for me. There better

feeling to have than knowing that I have such a wonder-

ful support system through my church and through my

faith in the Lord. I know that as I walk through this new

journey to college, God is walking right by my side. The

scholarship that I was so kindly awarded will be used to

cover my educational textbooks and tuition fees. Thank

you all for me and my family, and best wishes to my ex-

tended family at Trinity.

Clarice Dodd

We would like to thank everyone who attended and vol-

unteered at S.U.M.’s Applebee’s Flapjack Fundraiser.

We raised $785.60! Thank you for all your support.

Our next breakfast will be October 8, so mark your cal-

endars!

Peace,

Pam Alexander

Administrative Assistant

Salisbury Urban Ministries

I would like to thank you for the cards, calls, visits, and

prayers during my recent hospitalization. I am recover-

ing at home and soon hope to be back to normal.

With fondest regards,

Carl Wilson

We would like to thank you for your support and contri-

bution to our Prom Dress Drive. The event helped many

girls find a great dress for Prom.

Thank you!

1 Tear to Empowerment

The outstanding support of Rev. Patterson, Carolyn, and

all of the Trinity family was very comforting to us.

Many sympathy cards, compassionate calls, and prayers

surrounded us with the love of the Trinity family. Con-

tinue to pray for Kyle’s mother and siblings.

Sincerely,

Joanne and Chuck Cherry

Thank you all so much for the cards and all the prayers.

Thank you Rev. Patterson’s prayers over the phone be-

fore my surgery. It means a lot to me. My surgery went

well, and I am getting better everyday. Also thank you

Sue for help with transportation for Mulan!

God bless Trinity!

Xiuhua Bell

My very sincere thanks to all of you for your calls, cards,

visits, and food following my recent surgery. It was

overwhelmed by the many acts of kindness shown to me

during the last couple of weeks. Trinity members truly

are a very special group of people and I feel blessed to be

a part of this congregation. Thank you for your thoughts

and prayers.

Sincerely,

John Wayne Freed

Thank you so much for awarding me a 2016 scholarship.

I am so proud to be a recipient of a contribution from the

church I love. I am blessed to have had the opportunity

to be a member of not only Trinity UMC, but the out-

standing ASP group as well. I am excited to begin study-

ing biology and psychology as an honors/pre-med stu-

dent at UMD, College Park this fall. Again, thank you

for believing in me and contributing to my education.

Sincerely,

Luke Pitsenbarger

My family and I would like to thank everyone for their

kind expressions of sympathy and prayers at this time of

my mother, Irene Layton’s passing. She truly loved her

church family.
