Trinity United
Methodist Church

OCTOBER 2013
All Saints Sunday
November 3

On November 3, at all three worship services,
Trinity will be remembering all those who have
gone on to the Church Triumphant in the past
year.

Dear Members and Friends of Trinity U.M.C.:

In the Old Testament book of I Samuel we read about a
dark moment of despair in Davids life. Remember, this is the
man who as a shepherd boy defeated the giant, became a nation-
al hero, wrote many of the Psalms, would become the second
King of Israel, and be described by the Bible as a man after
Gods own heart. Yet this was a moment of deep and dark des-
pair. In spite of this difficult moment we read: But David
strengthened himself in the Lord his God (I Samuel 30:6).

The Rev. Chuck Swindoll writes; Dark days call for right
thinking and vertical focus. So David looked to God (vertical
focus) and remembered how his Creator and Sustainer had de-
livered him so many times in the past. David cried out to his
heavenly Father for help. God in His graciousness looked upon
His servant David with favor and provided the strength and
grace to push through the darkness to the brightness and beauty
of a new day.

Stuck in a dark place? Look up. Look to the One who is
our refuge and our strength and a present help in time of
need (Psalm 46:1). Look to the One who has promised: I will
never leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5). Thanks be to
God!

Grace and Peace,

Rev. George R. Patterson, MDiv.
Senior Pastor

Medication Safety Tips
Health Outreach Ministry
Dr. Dot Baker





The headline reads: Simple Checks Could Save Your Life! This article presents some tips to safely use your medicines.
These tips apply to every age and to anyone who takes even one prescription and/or over-the-counter medicine or sup-
plement. Most important: communicate with your healthcare provider(s) and with your pharmacist - knowledgeable and
experienced people to advise and counsel you.
WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK? Find out basic infor mation: What medicine(s) am I going to take? Why
do I need the medicine? Are there any side effects and/or interactions with other medicines or supplements that I am tak-
ing? How long will I take the medicine? When should I return for a check-up or when should I call if I have a problem?
WHERE SHOULD I BUY MY MEDS? Be ver y car eful and make wise choices. Buy fr om a r eputable and car ing
local pharmacy. Discuss mail order services with your physician and health care plan. If you decide to purchase meds by
Internet, protect your privacy and security. Determine that the pharmacy is licensed by its state pharmacy board and has
licensed pharmacists to answer your questions. Be cautious of overseas pharmacies that may offer cheaper prices BUT
may not be licensed or regulated in any way. MAKE SURE that the medicines that you receive from any pharmacy are
the ones that your health care provider ordered.
HOW DO I SAFELY STORE, TAKE, and MONITOR MY MEDS? Talk with your pharmacist and read the pr e-
scription label. In general, store your medicines is a cool and dry place NOT in a warm and humid place such as the
bathroom. Keep you medicines in original container. Find a convenient and central place that you can secure from chil-
dren. Lock up controlled substances such as powerful pain medicines. Use good light when you take your medicines.
Check expiration dates (expired medicines may crumble, change their formula, and not work as intended). Use ALL of
the medicine as prescribed ----do NOT save the medicine and restart it again later if you get similar symptoms. Do NOT
share medicines that are prescribed for anyone else. Monitor for side effects or adverse effects such as hives, vomiting,
funny feelings, etc. HOW DO I SAFELY DISPOSE OF MY MEDS? Check the newspaper and websites for take
-back days and locations that have year-round disposal services. Be sure to remove the label with your identification
information. If you dispose of medicines yourself: put the medicine into a sealable plastic bag. Add water to dissolve
pills or liquids. Add kitty litter, sawdust, or coffee grounds to make the meds less appealing. Check the Food and Drug
Administrations website to find out when and which medicines can be flushed down the toilet. We want to protect our
water and soil.
GENERAL TIPS: Bring a list or a bag with all of your medicines (pr escr ibe, over -the-counter, herbs/supplements)
when you go to your health care provider, hospital, or pharmacy. That way, each of them knows exactly what meds you
are taking and who prescribed each one. Talk to your family members about medicine safety and about safe use of medi-
cines. Communicate with your health care provider and pharmacist. Heed the headline that Simple Checks Could Save
Your Life! God cares about your health: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even
as thou soul prospereth (III John 1:3). For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saith the
Lord (Jeremiah 30:17)

CONGREGATIONAL CARE
Please remember to let us know when you know of any church families who have loved ones who are sick
or having surgery or who are in need of a clergy visit. We try hard to meet the needs of our congregation, but if
we dont know that there is a need, then we cannot fulfill our mission objective.
Thank you to all who have been so generous in the last few weeks supplying desserts for the funerals we
had in August and September.
Our services at Pine Bluff continue to be well attended, and we draw from many churches in the area and
not all are Methodist, but enjoy our time of fellowship and devotion.

BUS TRIP
We have a few seats left on the bus to the American Music Theater on November 6. If you have not
signed up yet, please do so before the October 14, and all money is due by then. The cost is $75.00, and this in-
cludes the show, dinner, and the bus.

ALTAR GUILD
If you are not a member of the Altar Guild but think you would like to join, please contact the church of-
fice at 410-749-5562 and leave a message with Sue Posey, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Our
next meeting will be on November 21, and we will discuss Thanksgiving and also Christmas.

Looking for a Good Book to Become
Friends With?


Be Quiet and Listen, written by Sheldon Lar-
more, is a spiritually stimulating true story of Sheldon
and Sara Belles son David, and how , through his
courage, faith, and determination, he accomplished
so much and helped so many in spite of his severe
medical problems and setbacks.

One hundred per cent of the proceeds from
the sales of this book will be funneled into The David
Larmore Memorial Fund through the Community
Foundation of the Eastern Shore of Maryland to assist
those less fortunate individuals who are coping with
severe physical handicaps. These funds will be used
to help in the purchase of supplies, equipment, respite
care, ramps, canes, crutches, etc. for those who cant
otherwise afford the cost of obtaining them.

Sheldon and Sara Belle will be on hand follow-
ing each of the three church services on October 20
to make their book available for those might be inter-
ested in purchasing a copy.

Living Well: Take Charge of Your Health
by Robin Ritchie

A new buzz word in healthcare today is self-management. Self-Management refers to the deci-
sions and acons we take every day that aect our health and the way we feel. Our doctors can treat con-
dions and symptoms, but we have the nal say on food & drink, bedme rounes, exercise, spiritual prac-
ce, relaxaon, social acvies, and taking or not taking prescribed medicaons. Research has shown that
improving self-management can have profound eects on health. Oen we know what to do, but we need
help pung it into acon.

We would like to oer a class at Trinity called Living Well: Take Charge of Your Health. This is the
best known and most highly regarded self-management program, developed at Stanford Universitys Pa-
ent Educaon Research Center. It has 20 years of impressive results for parcipants. Published studies
have shown:
Improved health
Improved sense of well-being
Reduced fague
Increase in acvity
Beer partnerships with physicians
Fewer Emergency Room visits, hospitalizaons, and doctor visits

The program includes a series of six weekly workshops focused on pain management, managing
emoons, eang, exercise, medicaon use, and communicaon with physicians. The workshops are led by
trained leaders, at least one of them living with a chronic condion. The sessions are highly interacve,
with group members learning from the material presented, and sharing their own ideas and praccal ad-
vice. People help each other to take acons they desire and support each others eorts and challenges.

Christian Education

Director of Childrens Ministries

THIRD GRADE BIBLE PRESENTATION
A presentation of Bible to our third graders will be held on October 20, at the
9:30 service. The congregation is thrilled to being Bibles to Johnathan Edward
Crockett, Francis DelGaudio IV, Emily Rose Hooper, Hunter Jones, Brody Howard
King, Brock Alexander Lawson, Brooke Gabrielle Mulford, Benjamin Whaley
OBrien, Caleb David Thompson, Trent Warfield, and Christian Dryden Webb. It is
an honor for our church every year. Call Mrs. Janal Walton for additions and cor-
rections at 410 726-5893.


SUNDAY SCOOL
There are Sunday School opportunities are for everyone! Every age has a class so come and get
involved with a small group of folks who want to learn more about Gods Word! The Pre-school thru 12
th

grades, meet at 9:30 in the Jackson Memorial, with an adult class being held at Ed Freshwaters house at
the same time. Then the Berean Adult Class gather with Reverend Dean DeFino in room 303 at 10:45 to
explore the book of Psalms. Lots of good things are happening!
Our Pre-Schoolers through 4
th
grades will go from Judges to Kings this fall as we study Judges
through the First Book of Samuel. The story of Deborah (Judges 4:4-16, 5:1-31) and her wise leadership
teaches us that even in times of military turmoil (which eventually lead to 40 years of peace under her ten-
ure), God gives good leaders to Gods people. The saga of Samuels birth, priestly training, years as a
judge, and an ambassador for God to the new monarchy of Saul, and David leads to great lessons!


WHO ARE THE NAZIRITES?
All of this studying has led me to the word---Nazirite. Samuel and Samson were Nazirites. I
found out the NAZIRITES are people dedicated (or were dedicated by their parents) to a special sacred
service to God for a specific amount of timesometimes a lifetime or a shorter period. The Nazirite order
is described in Number 6:1-21. These people had extra requirements above and beyond most people.
Nazirites had to avoid all grapes/wine and any type of alcohol, couldnt touch a dead body and couldnt
cut their hair. Under this special vow the Nazirites were supposed to have an extraordinary connections
with God. Samson had trouble keeping some of those requirements and paid for it---and died trying to re-
deem himself. Samuel, on the other hand, a prophet and a judge, dedicated and was a solid voice for God.
He also anointed Saul and David to be Israels kings. Thanks for letting me share my new knowledge!
Come to SUNDAY SCHOOL AND GET INVOLVED!

room 303 of the JMB, we are studying the Book of
Psalms. Explore the nature of ancient mid-east
poetry and the fascinating prophetic words from a
variety of authors in this popular yet often misun-
derstood book of the Bible.




The Gospel of John: The
Study of Christ
A Course in Christology

The Wednesday Night Bible study continues every
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary with the
exciting book of John, which presents both the
simple gospel and a detailed study of Christology
(the life and doctrine of Christ). Johns gospel
emphasizes the Judean ministry of Christ in con-
trast to the other gospels that concentrates on
Christs Galilean ministry.

Ask the Rev

When I pray and ask God for forgiveness for my sins, do I have to do this continu-
ously or just once? Sometimes I feel that God is tired of my redundant prayers.

So often we get the idea that prayer has to be some elaborate discourse on praise or
a confessional both to continually ask for forgiveness, or a form where we ask in-
cessantly for various favors or things. Prayer was a difficult thing for Jesus disci-
ples, who asked the Lord how to pray. Prayer is simply talking to God and sharing
our feelings, emotions, and giving praise to our creator. One of the cleverest weap-
ons that Satan uses against Christians is bringing up past sins for which he would
want to haunt us forever. There is a song called No Yesterdays which says that
our sins are forgiven and known to God no more. Repeated pleas for forgiveness of the same sins shows
our lack of understanding of the love of God and the healing power of His forgiveness. Yes we may
commit more sins that need to be confessed, but that is why the Lords Prayer is so important. It covers
the essential aspects of prayer: request for our physical and spiritual needs, forgiveness for our sins as
we forgive others, and praise to our creator. The key element of prayer is sincerity. Do we really mean
and believe the words we say as we pray. God is never tired of the prayers from a sincere heart.


Ask the Rev is a Trumpet newsletter feature where Rev. DeFino will answer your questions on the Bible, doc-
trine or religious beliefs and events. Send or call your questions into the church office, and they will be answered
in future issues.

On June 30 Trinity collected 1,175 items for the Lazarus Food Pantry to Honor Rev. Bill & Jeanne
Kniceley. The Lazarus Food Pantry was very grateful for this most generous one week donation.
Thank you to you our Trinity Congregation, well done.
The food item for October is canned TUNA, Salmon or any other canned FISH! In addition to our
monthly food items, the Lazarus Food Pantry still needs certain food items to supplement the gov-
ernment food and make complete and nutritious meals! These items include cereal, other breakfast
foods, pasta and sauce, macaroni and cheese, boxed dinners, hamburger, chicken and tuna helper,
canned soups, vegetables and fruits, canned meats, and individual juices and snack items for the
ready to eat bags! They also continue to need donations of small personal hygiene items such as
deodorant, soap bars, shampoos, lotions, toothpaste and toothbrushes, womens personal items, ra-
zor and shaving cream, chap stick, etc. At the time of this writing, Trinity has donated almost
59,500 food items to the pantry since this project began a little over 8 years ago!!! It has been said
before but it is worth repeating, each week, when the food is delivered, they always remark that
Trinity is the only chur ch that deliver s without fail a gener ous amount of food and non-food
items every week of the year!!!
Trinity volunteers continue to serve 130-150 hot lunches, including seconds, at the Joseph House

TRINITY UMC MILITARY COUPON PROGRAM
T.A. Phillips

Trinity continues to excellently support this program. Since July 2009, we have exceeded $950,000 value of coupons.
We mailed August 2013s coupons to the U.S. Navy, Yokohama, Japan.

**Thank you to Trinity UMC** Captain Kevin Silvus, wife Heather, and four children are stationed in Schweinfurt, Ger-
many. They received coupons from their Army Community Service (ACS). They sent a thank you note to let you know how very
much you are appreciated. With such a large family living overseas, it would be difficult to make ends meet without coupons.
Thank you very much for your support. God bless!

As always, thank you for your response to support this mission to military personnel and families who serve our country.

UNITED METHODIST WOMENS NEWS

October 30 will soon be here, and we expect to see ya all at our wonderful Fall Luncheon. I can just
smell the vegetable soup cooking and taste those cookies and cakes from the Bake Table. Of course
we will have those super great peas and dumplings that you all love so much. And don't forget how
good our chicken salad is. You may even want to take some home with you and have it the next
day. But, when you do, get it ordered early from a UMW member so you can be sure to have your
next days dinner all planned. Just so you don't forget, mark your calendar for October 30 from 11:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and we will see you there.

We have women interested in joining our UMW teams. We really call them circles, but we work to-
gether as a team. We study different books of the Bible; Esther Circle just started studying Prov-
erbs , Ruth Circle is enjoying Janal telling stories about the Bible, and Joy circle enjoys reading
books from the library and keeping the library in order and up to date. By the way, have you checked
out the library lately? Our circles are fun. We get to see our friends and study a bit, and we always
get to eat. You cannot ask for much more.

Enjoy the fall weather and get outdoors, take a long or short walk, and let the Lord know how much
you appreciate what he has done for you.

From one of your team members,
Jane Bowers, President


Stories from the Basement
Help and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc.
By Donna Clark RN, Director

Summer has moved on and needs are changing. Warm clothes, blankets, socks, and shoes are the hot items re-
quested. Friends from the past are showing up looking for tents, heaters and fuel for their camps. These are
items that we don't usually supply and they know that but, I think they just like to check in. Others have stopped
by to let us know that they are doing well and remain clean and sober and housed. Each day that we are open
something happens to make us know that God is with us as we help all who come through our doors.
There is a full moon at the end of this week and we have seen the restlessness building in our clients with mental
health issues. We spent a lot of time talking today with one client in particular about his current living situation.
He is getting mental health care but at times his paranoia and fear of crowds overwhelms him. Due to his mental
health he has spent most of his life incarcerated and his health issues went untreated. Now that he is receiving
care he is trying so hard to "fit in" but society makes that a difficult challenge. Today he was very agitated with
himself and everyone around him. It was the test of our day today to help him cope. He stated that the loving
Christian atmosphere here in the office gives him a sense of comfort and security. Once again God at work here
at H.O.P.E., Inc.
Update:
The elderly couple has been helped by Adult Protective Services and at this time is safe. Praise God!
The gentleman with bladder cancer reappeared but his addiction is so bad he cannot make good choices to help
himself. He continues to be on the streets and needs your ongoing prayers.

Thank you!
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to our
Trinity family for the many prayers, cards, and phone calls we
received during my husband Patricks sudden passing. A spe-
cial thanks to Rev. Patterson for being a great comfort to visit
us in Johns Hopkins hospital. His many prayers, kind words,
and encouragement are a tremendous help during this difficult
time. Also, special thanks to the kitchen ladies wonderful
service for the reception. We are truly blessed to be a part of
the Trinity family! God bless Trinity church!
With love and gratitude,
Xiuhua,Mulan, and Melissa Bell

My name is Heather Silvis, and my husband, CPT Kevin
Silvis, and I are stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany. We have
four beautiful children, Lauren (15), Cooper (10), Murphy
(6), and Oliver (4). We received the coupons you sent from
ACS, and I wanted to send you a quick thank you note to let
you know how very much you are appreciated. With such a
large family living overseas, it would be difficult to make
ends meet without coupons. Thank you very much for your
support.
God bless!
