Council Highlights from October
Passing the Peace in Flu Season
Many churches and in some instances whole
dioceses have been altering some liturgical
practices during this upcoming and possibly very
virulent flu season. Schools have been closing,
and we do not want to reach that point as a
church, but we do want to take some precautions
to help prevent the passing of germs and flu
viruses.
We are placing hand sanitizer bottles throughout
the church facilities. Please understand that
some of our members have quite acute medical
conditions, and a handshake, and possible
passing of germs is the last thing they need. If it
comes to a drastic outbreak in Kalamazoo, we
may ask people to “suspend” the shaking of
hands during the passing of the peace. During
the passing of the peace it is those words of the
peace of Christ which we can focus on. A wave or
a nod of the head is just as meaningful as a handshake at this time. An announcement will be
made if this is the case.
For the distribution of Holy Communion I have
always washed my hands right before the service,
and now I am even washing them again during
the offering when I go into the sacristy. Our Altar
guild has always washed and sanitized the
chalices after every service. Utilizing intinction
instead of the common cup also dramatically
lessens the chance for the passing of germs. As
has been the case throughout the centuries, for
those who cannot drink wine, the bread of the
sacrament is sufficient.
Almost every visitor who has come to Trinity has
remarked on how friendly a congregation we are.
We can still accomplish this generous hospitality
even in the midst of a flu outbreak. Let us all just
try to be much more cognizant of how we might
help prevent the passing of the flu during this
upcoming season.
Shalom, Pr. Ken
Please note the “Important Information” articles
regarding the ELCA discussions.
•Have you had flowers on the altar and forgot
to remit a check? Please do so as soon as
possible as there is quite an amount
outstanding.
•Trinity has received the final distribution from
the Grace Liehr estate: $16,000 to the memorial
fund and $16,000 to the Graduate Student fund.
We remember Grace with gratitude for making
these generous bequests to Trinity.
•The nursery continues to struggle to find folks
to supervise on Sunday mornings. A stipend is
now being offered of $15 for each service.
Do you know someone who would be interested
in this position? It is hoped that more people
will step forward to volunteer to staff this very
important service to the church
•Dates to be aware of:
-The Folklife Benefit concert this year will be
November 14
-Pastor will chair a forum on the state of the
ELCA between services on November 15.
- New members will be received on
November 22.
•The nominating committee will be seeking
people to stand for election for five open
positions on the council. Watch for information
in your Sunday bulletin and in News and Notes.
These positions must be filled so please prayerfully consider filling one. For more information,
talk to any current member of the council.
• Watch for the nametag display to be moved
upstairs to the narthex on the first Sunday of
the month. Wear yours!!
•The Rummage Sale sponsored by the Social
Service committee raised $931 for the
Emergency Fund. Thanks to everyone who
contributed and worked to make the sale a
success.
•The council voted to discontinue use of the
Celebrate! Insert in the Sunday bulletin. All
readings will be incorporated into the body of
the bulletin.
• Advent offering envelopes have been inserted
into your envelope boxes in early November
this year instead of December. The offerings at
the midweek Advent services will be used
toward the Pastor’s Emergency Fund.
It’s early, but…
Pantry Patter
Our boxes of offering envelopes this year
contain an “OOPS”. We ordered one undated
Advent envelope to replace the coin cards we
have used previously. We received that one; but
there are also four additional Advent envelopes
included with the Sundays in November—not
the Sundays of Advent in December. Having
Advent envelopes appear in sequence in the
offering envelope boxes before the arrival of
the Advent season could cause some
confusion. In the hope of eliminating that
confusion, the council has directed that the
monies received in the Advent envelopes will
be split ½ to the General Fund (as adopted in
the budget) and ½ to the Emergency Assistance
(Human
Support)
Fund.
Normally
the
designation for the Advent Fund monies is not
determined until the November council
meeting; however, the designation was made
early this year so that those who choose to use
the Advent offering envelopes when they
appear in the boxes will know where the
special offerings will be directed.
Please prayerfully consider using one (or more)
of these envelopes during this trying time for
many in the area.
The 2010 offering envelopes have arrived and
they are as we ordered.

First, we want to thank TLC's Youth Group
members, the Youth Director (Maryann Hubbell),
and parents of the youth... who did an outstanding Fall clean-up job on our Pantry rooms.
We, and our clients really appreciate their fine
efforts!
Our most URGENT need presently is for more
volunteers who are willing to work ("in the
trenches") actually handing out food to our client
families. This activity occurs Monday through
Friday from 12:30 pm until 3:00 pm, does not
require any heavy lifting and merely involves
accompanying the client as she/he walks
through the pantry with a shopping basket to
choose the items available to them. A very brief
orientation is all that is needed inasmuch as this
is not rocket science! Even volunteering one time
per month would be helpful to us! Interested
individuals should contact Sharon Kokales at
344-9892 for more information and to confirm
their interest.
As to food items we require: Plain old sliced
white bread continues to be needed (apparently
this is an increasingly expensive item for Loaves
and Fishes to purchase); Snacks of all kinds
seem always to be in short supply: Especially
cookies, granola bars, pop tarts, crackers, small
boxes of cereal, pretzels, pop corn...those types
of things.
As always we thank you all for your generosity
and willingness to help feed Kalamazoo's
hungry. God bless us all.
Your Pantry Coordinating Committee.

News from the SCRIP Table
A new project “Coupons for Service People
Overseas” started in October. We ask that you
now cut and trim coupons from newspapers or
magazines and place them in the same place
you did before. We have help in our congregation for mailing and a family in Okinawa who
will place them in the PX. They are delighted to
receive them. We will have more info later as to
which coupons are most helpful. Thanks for
your help.
Including our September 2009 rewards of
$105.11, we have earned a total of $6,527.50
from the Meijer Community Rewards program!
Our Harding’s eScrip members added another
$10.55 in the month of August. More of our
profits are now going to furnish bus tokens
for residents of the neighborhood due to the
increased need. Thanks for helping us help
others get to work, the doctor, the grocery
store, etc.
The First Annual Rummage Sale is over for this
year. We netted $931.08 for Pastor’s
Emergency Assistance Fund. People who visited
got a wonderful deal from the goods you
brought and many warm clothing items were
taken to Ministry With Community. We gained a
lot of new friendships with members of the
community and the women of the Greek Church
across the street. They will let us know the
date of their Bake Sale.
The remainder of the goods not sold is going to
KY when the next truckload is full. Thanks to
all who donated, bought and helped.
If you are thinking of trying the new Martell’s
(formerly the Black Swan), we have gift cards
which include that as well as Epic Bistro,
Fieldstone Grill, and The Union (all on one
card with an 8% rebate to Trinity). Christmas
is not that far away, and these would make a
great gift! Also for the holiday season: Target
cards are now available in $25 as well as $50.
Plans are underway to provide a meal for
Campus Ministry on November 1st. Also, we
have promised to provide more meals when
asked. Pastor Mark gave us a warm Thank You.
W/ELCA has informed us that Trinity has
donated items with a fair market value of over
$1,000.00 from May thru September.
The Sr High Group will take One hundred &
thirty quilts, over a hundred Health Kits, and
boxes of soap to St. Michaels on Sunday,
Oct 17th for Lutheran World Relief. Fifteen to
eighteen women meet monthly to make these
quilts and they are deeply appreciated. Liz
Menck wrote the story of the Quilters if you
wish more information. All people are welcome
to come & join the fun.
If you are stumped for ideas for Christmas gifts,
use ELCA Good Gifts. For only $10.00 you can
purchase ten baby chicks to put a family in a
position to feed their family and start a
business. More information will be available
when Advent material is available.
We have many retailers and cards ranging
from $5 to $100 in value. A number of
groups have bought cards from us to use as
prizes for a variety of occasions and/or
contests; recently two young ladies from
Trinity pooled their resources to purchase a
restaurant card for their parents’ anniversary
gift.
Please stop and see what we have that you
can use, and thanks for helping us help
others.
News from the S.W.E.L.L. Partnership
(Volunteers from area Lutheran churches
supporting LSSM’s foster care programs)
Coming soon! Our “fall line” of Cookies in a
Jar will be available before Thanksgiving,
followed by our Christmas line in December.
Proceeds will help foster kids and families
including those ageing out of the foster care
system into Supported Independent Living
situations (including some attending WMU).
We appreciate all who saved or returned jars
for this project and/or bought ingredients.
Your donations enabled us hold the price at
$5 again this year. Thanks for your support!

“There are three kinds of giving: grudge giving,
duty giving and thanksgiving. Grudge giving
says, ‘I have to’; duty giving says, ‘I ought to’;
and thanksgiving says, ‘I want to.’ The latter
comes from a full heart. Thanksgiving is an
open gate into the love of God.”

Could you help?
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES
If you would like to send a gift of love at
Christmas time to a child who has nothing,
please consider filling a shoebox with toys,
candy, school supplies and personal care items.
It is is called Operation Christmas Child and is
sponsored by Samaritan's Purse by way of Billy
Graham's son, Franklin. YOU MUST GET THE
BROCHURE which has the envelope for the $7
postage and handling fee and the label for
"BOY" or "GIRL" and age level. The brochure
contains suggested items to fill a shoebox and
items NOT to be included. The message of
Jesus Christ is also spread through the distribution of these boxes. Please prayerfully consider
doing one box or more. This would be a great
project for you and your children/grandchildren.
Please see Linda Ward for the brochure. She
also has some extra shoeboxes.
Shoeboxes will be due at Trinity by Sunday,
November 15th.
Questions about ELCA benevolence?
Please talk to Pastor Ken if you have any questions
regarding the topic of ELCA benevolence. Our
overall percentage giving of “benevolence”
money outside of the church is not going to
change. If less money is sent to the ELCA by the
desire of members, then more benevolence money
will be sent to other charities (both Lutheran and
non-Lutheran) locally, statewide, and internationally. We will still be supporting and possibly
increasing giving to such Lutheran agencies as
Lutheran World Relief, World Hunger Appeal,
Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, etc.
New members will be received on November 22.
Those who are interested can attend the orientation class either on November 1st between services
or November 15th after services.
Council Elections…
Please review the inserted information sheet
regarding our upcoming elections for church
council. These leadership positions are very
important to the mission of Trinity, so we hope
that each member will prayerfully consider how
their gifts might be utilized in service to our
church by serving on our council.
The Lord holds me always in His love.
Always there,
Always loving,
Always giving,
Always healing.
At my weakest,
The Lord is strongest.
The Quilt by T. Davis Bunn
I hope that this wet and chilly fall finds you wrapped warmly in God’s love. We are off to a good
start with a great group of youth, of all ages! Many exciting ideas are flying; the challenge will be

What a great turn out for our service project of cleaning the Trinity pantries. Many hands make
work light and appreciation was expressed for our efforts! Thank you to all who helped! A warm
thanks to the youth that assisted in the quilt delivery as well. Our next service project will be fall

Thanksgiving Eve Service
November 25 at 7 pm
Count your blessings
Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving

To God’s Beloved: Paul’s Letter to the Romans
Session 3: Hope Does Not Disappoint
Theme Verse: “So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God
in Jesus Christ.” (Romans 6:11)
In the world we live in, we need promises. Promises give us hope. God
reassures us over and over that we are loved and cared for. He promises to be our
God, never to leave us, to deliver us from danger, to forgive us, to hear us when we
pray, to give us courage and peace. Remember, I am with you always. - Matthew
28:20. Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the
door will be opened for you. - Luke 11:9-10. All things work together for good
for those who love God. - Romans 8:28.
Nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God that comes to
us in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38-39), and that’s a promise, a hope fulfilled.
Generous God, we thank you for your many gifts, and we thank you further that
you entrust us with passing on your gifts to others Grant us grace always to act
with bold and fearless generosity, seeing the face of your Son in all of your beloved
children throughout the world. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
In Christ’s Name,
Kay Nelson
