Trinity Trumpet

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 national 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 despair. 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 delivered 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 supplement. 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 information: 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 taking? 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 very careful and make wise choices. Buy from a reputable and caring 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 prescription 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 children. 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 takeback 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 (prescribe, 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 medicines. 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)

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.

Looking for a Good Book to Become Friends With?


Be Quiet and Listen, written by Sheldon Larmore, 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 following each of the three church services on October 20 to make their book available for those might be interested 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 decisions and actions we take every day that affect our health and the way we feel. Our doctors can treat conditions and symptoms, but we have the final say on food & drink, bedtime routines, exercise, spiritual practice, relaxation, social activities, and taking or not taking prescribed medications. Research has shown that improving self-management can have profound effects on health. Often we know what to do, but we need help putting it into action. We would like to offer 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 Patient Education Research Center. It has 20 years of impressive results for participants. Published studies have shown: Improved health Improved sense of well-being Reduced fatigue Increase in activity Better partnerships with physicians Fewer Emergency Room visits, hospitalizations, and doctor visits The program includes a series of six weekly workshops focused on pain management, managing emotions, eating, exercise, medication use, and communication with physicians. The workshops are led by trained leaders, at least one of them living with a chronic condition. The sessions are highly interactive, with group members learning from the material presented, and sharing their own ideas and practical advice. People help each other to take actions they desire and support each others efforts and challenges. If you think you may be interested in Living Well: Take Charge of Your Health, please fill out the form below, drop in the collection plate or send to the church office, or call the church office, 410-749-5562, and provide us with the contact information and preferred class time information requested below.

Christian Education

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 corrections 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 12th 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 4th 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 tenure), 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 redeem 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!

ISRAELS HYMNAL
The Tuesday Afternoon Bible Study continues every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. and the Berian Adult Sunday School class continues at 10:45 a.m. every Sunday. In both of these classes, which meet in 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 misunderstood 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 contrast to the other gospels that concentrates on Christs Galilean ministry.

New Members
The New Members Class will be held September 22, September 29, October 6, 13, and 20 in room 303 of the JMB. at 9:30 a.m. New Members will be received into the church on October 27 at 9:30 a.m. These classes are held for anyone wishing to join Trinity. Topics include: doctrines of the Christian faith, introduction to church history, Methodism & its beliefs, and the life of Trinity United Methodist Church. Those interested in joining the church should call the church office: 410-749-5562.

Ask the Rev


When I pray and ask God for forgiveness for my sins, do I have to do this continuously 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 incessantly for various favors or things. Prayer was a difficult thing for Jesus disciples, 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 weapons 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, doctrine 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 government 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, razor 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 church that delivers without fail a generous 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 on the third Wednesday of every month. Our next day to serve will be October 16. This is a wonderful way to help those less fortunate in our community and we always welcome new volunteers. On Saturday, September 7, Trinity volunteers prepared and served a hot noon meal for Gods Kitchen feeding program at Grace United Methodist Church. All diners were very grateful! Our next date to serve will be announced. If you are interested in helping with any of these service projects, please feel free to call me at 443944-0698.

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 together as a team. We study different books of the Bible; Esther Circle just started studying Proverbs , 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 requested. 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 special thanks to Rev.

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! Heather Silvis
