Methodist Church
OCTOBER 2015

Dear Members and Friends of Trinity UMC:

How do we make the best of these fragile and challenging times? Faith and
trust! Faith is the capacity to maintain trust and allegiance in God in spite of
the circumstances in our lives. It is the capacity to reach deep within and
remain loyal to our Creator. It is the capacity to sense God's presence, to
perceive God's power, and to stay focused on God's plan in spite of the obstacles.
When you have deep and abiding faith it affects your attitude. Your attitude
is optimistic rather than pessimistic. Your attitude stays positive rather than
negative. Not foolishly positive, as though in fantasy for you are believing
God to be personally involved in your circumstances. So when a situation
comes that cuts your feet out from under you, you don't have to throw up
your arms and panic. You don't give up. Instead, you say, "Lord, this is
Your moment. This is where You take charge. You're in this."
There is nothing more comforting and reassuring than having a strong belief
in the power of God; having others around you who support you in loving
and sacrificial ways; and, yes, having confidence in yourself, by the grace of
God. Refusing to give in to the temptation of cynicism and doubt. Not allowing yourself to become a jaded individual.
Life is tough! Clergy have no magic wand to wave over your future and say,
"All of a sudden everything is going to fall into place." Faith requires determination and a consistent focus on God who loves and cares for you. Even
in a world that is negative and hostile. Even in a world where the majority
says, "We can't," you can. Trust God today. With eyes of faith you can remain strong. Remember those deeply insightful words of Chuck Swindoll;
Your life is not in the hands of blind fate, but in the hands of a loving and
gracious God.

highly likely to be repeated. Bullying is an intentional, aggressive and repeated behavior that involves an imbalance of
power or strength. One can be a perpetrator, a victim, or both. WHAT are forms/types of bullying? physical (hitting,
tripping), verbal (name calling, teasing), or relational/social (spreading rumors, leaving out of group, intimidation), sexual, racist, hazing. Electronic aggression or cyber-bullying occurs through e-mail, a chat room, instant messaging, a website, text messaging, or videos or pictures posted on websites or sent through cell phones. WHO is at risk? Anyone. A
bully is more likely to externalize problems such as defiant and disruptive behavior, experience harsh parenting by
caregivers, show attitudes that accept violence. A victim is more likely to have poor peer relationships, have low selfesteem, be perceived by peers as different or quiet. Children/persons with disabilities are at greater risk for being bullied.

Problems that could happen after any vaccine:
Any medication can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Such reactions from a vaccine are very rare, estimated
at about 1 in a million doses, and would happen within
a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.

Parish Nurse
(continued)
As with any medicine, there is a very small chance of a
vaccine causing a serious injury or death.
The safety of vaccines is always being monitored. For
more information, visit: www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/
5. What if there is a serious reaction?
What should I look for?
Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of
a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or unusual behavior. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include
hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These
would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
What should I do?
If you think it is a severe allergic reaction or other
emergency that cant wait, call 9-1-1 and get the person
to the nearest hospital. Otherwise, call your doctor.
Reactions should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse
Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your doctor should
file this report, or you can do it yourself through the
VAERS web site at www.vaers.hhs.gov, or by calling 1800-822-7967. VAERS does not give medical advice.
6. The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
(VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a
vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a
claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP
website at www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation. There is
a time limit to file a claim for compensation.
7. How can I learn more?
Ask your healthcare provider. He or she can give you
the vaccine package insert or suggest other sources of
information. Call your local or state health department.
Contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC): - Call 1-800-232-4636 (1-800-CDC-INFO) or Visit CDCs website www.cdc.gov/flu Vaccine Information Statement Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine
08/07/2015.
Hope you have a great month and please get your flu
vaccine unless contraindicated.

BUS TRIPS
We still have some seats left on the bus for our
November 18 trip to Lancaster for the American
Music Theaters Christmas Show, Deck the
Halls. The cost is $81 and is all inclusive. We
will provide snacks and beverages and will have
sandwiches for our trip home.
We have a May 4 trip planned to go to see
Samson at Sight and Sound. This is a new
play, and I think it will be a great trip. The cost
of the show, bus, and dinner is $98.
We have a good time on our bus trips and welcome you to join us for either of these or both.
UPCOMING LUNCH BUNCH SCHEDULE
Our next Lunch Bunch will be on October 14
and our guest will be Cheryl Senkbeil from Mac,
Inc. She will be discussing the role of an ombudsmen and what you can expect if you or your
loved one is admitted to a Nursing Home. I believe this will be very informative and hopefully
you will put the date on your calendar of events.
The November 11 Lunch Bunch falls on Veterans Day, and Tim Robinson who is a professor
of history at S.U. will be here to talk about history as it relates to our veterans we are honoring.
He is also one of our elite members of the
Wicomico County Sheriffs Department.
On December 9 we will be serenaded by the
WiHi Concert Choir under the direction of Dr.
Jeff Baer. This is always a treat for us, and the
young men and women thoroughly enjoy coming
to sing for us.
January 13 kicks off our 2016 season with
Joey Flannigan from the State Fire Marshalls
office, and he will discuss fires and arson and
what is involved in finding the source of fires.
February 10 will find Chief Barbara Duncan
of the Salisbury Police Department visiting with
us. She will be addressing some of the issues with
recent homicides.
The rest of the year I am going to keep under-wraps for now. Wont you join us for devotions, food and entertainment!

Join us every Wednesday
night this year as we
continue our study of the
non-Pauline letters of the
New Testament: James,
1 & 2 Peter and 1 & 2 &
3 John. This year we
begin with the book written by Christs halfbrother, James.
At
times, this has been a controversial book; a book Martin Luther called an epistle of straw. But it is a fascinating journey of faith put into action. We then continue with the books written by Peter. Yes, Peter wrote
two books of the Bible that prophetically describe and
refute the atheistic theory of evolution that was developed 1900 years after the book was written. The year
will conclude with the three epistles written by John.

Every Thursday at 1:00 p.m.

and
Sunday at 10:45
Room 303 of the JMB

The history of Israels first

two kings is explored in
the exciting historical narrative of the books written
by the Prophet Samuel.
Follow the adventures of
David as a child and his
encounter with Goliath
and King Saul; continue
with his life as King and
the rebellions he had to
face. These two books contain some of the most important and interesting stories in Israeli history.

Hebrew Class
Every Monday at

6:30 p.m.

The Hebrew word from last months Trumpet is

messenger or Angel and is the name of the last book of
the Tanakh (Old Testament): Malachi. This months
Hebrew word is a very famous proper name.

Ask the Rev

What does the 3rd heaven mean?
This question is a reference to 2 Corinthians 12:2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out
of the body I do not know-- God knows.
(2 Cor. 12:2 NIV)
The word heaven refers to a variety of elements in Scripture. For example, in Genesis 1:1, we have God creating the heavens which can be a reference to the upper atmosphere or the realm of God. In Genesis 1:8, the reference to heavens is clearly the
sky or abode of the fowl. This is what some may call the first heaven. Genesis 1:14 speaks of the firmament of the heaven which refers to home of the lights: sun and stars. With this in mind, it is clear that Paul,
the author of Corinthians, is describing an event that happened to him. He was caught up in what he refers
to as the 3rd heaven, beyond the lower sky of the birds, beyond the firmament of heaven (the realm of the
stars) into the very (3rd) realm of the presence of God himself.

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

The food theme for the Lazarus Food Pantry for October is canned fish--tuna, salmon, etc. In addition to our
monthly food items, Lazarus has a continuing need for certain food items to supplement the provided government
food. These items include cereal and 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. The food pantry is always in need of small personal hygiene items such as
deodorant, soap bars, shampoos, lotions, toothpaste and toothbrushes, womens personal items, razor and shaving
cream, chap stick, etc. So far this year, Trinity has donated 2,703 food items to the Lazarus Food Pantry. Since this
project began a little over 10 years ago, our donations total just over 68,000 food items.
For the months of August and September, Trinity donated a total of 38 #10 cans to HALO and the Christian
Shelter. For the year-to-date, we have donated a total of 148 cans to these shelters.
Trinity volunteers continue to serve 100-130 hot lunches, including seconds, at the Joseph House on the third
Wednesday of every month. Our next day to serve will be October 21.
Thanks again for your generous and continuing support for all of Trinity's Missions projects. We are always
looking for ways to broaden our outreach to those in need and would welcome your ideas and participation. And as
you think about ways you might lend a hand, reflect on this familiar passage of scripture: "What good is it, my
brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is
poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, without
giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is
dead." James, Chapter 2, verses 14-17.

Beginning in Spring 2016, the Trinity Emergency Shelter Project (TESP) will replace the homeless shelter project we hosted as part of the Community Emergency
Shelter Program (CESP). Henceforth, Trinity will no longer shelter homeless men
for two weeks at the Jackson Memorial Building; instead, our hosting activities
will move to HALO, where Trinity volunteers will augment HALO staff on two
evening shifts in the men's and women's shelters. Our volunteers will also help
serve breakfast and lunch for shelter residents. The dates for TESP are 27 February-12 March 2016. We will provide regular updates as details for the shelter project are finalized. In the meantime, if you have questions, please feel free to give
me a call.
