Trinity Trumpet

Dear Members and Friends of Trinity U.M.C.: Thanksgiving is a time when we pause with family and friends to reflect on Gods blessing. As you think back over the past year, I am sure that you too have much for which to be grateful. We are indeed privileged to live in intimacy and fellowship with our Creator. The blessings that we experience come from the love and support of family and friends. The sense of accomplishment that comes with our success, and the pleasures and benefits derived from hard work. Helen Steiner Rice says it well in the following poem:

MAKE EVERY DAY THANKSGIVING

Thank you, God, for everything the big things and the small, For every good gift comes from God the giver of them all, Too often we accept without any thanks or praise The gifts God sends as blessings each day in many ways, O, make us more aware, dear God, of little daily graces That come to us with sweet surprise from never-dreamed of places, And help us to remember that the key to life and living Is to make each prayer a prayer of thanks And every day Thanksgiving. From the staff here at Trinity and our families, we want you to know how grateful we are for your presence, prayers, support, and encouragement. Because of your graciousness and generosity, Trinity United Methodist Church is able to share Gods love with hundreds of people who enter its doors each week. Indeed we wish you a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving. Grace and Peace, George R. Patterson, MDiv. Senior Pastor

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month Health Outreach Ministry

Dr. Dot Baker

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. WHAT is pancreatic cancer? The pancreas is a gland behind the stomach and in front of your spine in your midriff area. Its exocrine glands make a digestive juice that breaks down proteins and fats that we eat. Its endocrine glands are in clusters called islets that make hormones such as insulin to balance the amount of sugar in our blood. Cancer of the pancreas can be exocrine (most common, usually adenocarcinoma type) or endocrine (less common, islet cell). HOW MANY people are affected? For 2013, 45,000 (23,000 men and 22,500 women) will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. About 38,500 will die. Rates have been increasing over the past few years.

WHAT are risk factors? Smoking, long-term diabetes, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, family history of pancreas cancer, obesity, aging, male gender, liver cirrhosis, occupational exposures (such as pesticides, chemicals), high fat diet, heavy alcohol intake, and hereditary gene mutations. WHAT are signs & symptoms? This cancer can be difficult to detect until it has spread. Dark urine, pale stools, yellow skin & eyes, upper belly pain, middle back pain, nausea & vomiting and/or general symptoms such as tiredness, loss of appetite, feelings of fullness, weight loss for no reason. HOW to treat? Treatment depends on the location of the cancer, whether the cancer has spread, age, and general health condition. Treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or radiation. Supportive care can include management of therapy side effects, pain, any other physical effects of the cancer, nutritional care, and emotional care.

HOW to prevent? Avoid risk factors as much as possible. Quit smoking, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, and eat well. Eat fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, poultry, and beans (and lower amounts of processed and red meats). Be aware of your body and pay attention to any signs and symptoms. See your health care provider for your concerns. Resources: American Cancer Society, Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer, Johns Hopkins University, Medline Plus, National Cancer Institute Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name (Psalm 100:4). An attitude of gratitude maintains/conserves our physical, mental, & spiritual energies. This attitude empowers us to seek and recognize ways to enrich our lives. Most of all, Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (II Corinthians 9:15).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to EVERYONE!

By Carolyn Lewis, RN

The fall season is in full swing and with it comes the many beautiful colors of fall leaves and foliage. What a glorious site this is when you look at the forest along the highway as you travel. We have traveled along Route 70 heading to Frederick, Maryland to see our daughter and her family, and it is always beautiful to look off in the distance at the mountains and see the hue of colors in the fall. God is wonderful in His creations, and we get to enjoy his array of beautiful colors with the changing of each season. WHOOPING COUGH (Pertussis) If you have been following the news, we have heard from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that Whooping Cough is becoming a critical problem in some states, and the local health departments and physicians are working diligently to make sure everyone has been vaccinated for Pertussis or have received the full series of vaccinations. I remember as a child (now that was a day or two ago) that we had to get our DPT shots and all the boosters, but in the last few years parents became concerned about the contents of the vaccine and chose not to get their children vaccinated. Whooping cough is horrible for anyone who has had it in the past or has contracted it recently and so easily prevented. What causes whooping cough? Whooping cough is caused by an infection with a bacterium known as Bordetella pertussis. The bacteria attaches to the lining of the airways in the upper respiratory system and releases toxins that lead to inflammation and swelling. Most people acquire the bacteria by breathing in the bacteria that are present in droplets released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The infection is very contagious and is often spread to infants by family members or caregivers, who may be in the early stages of infection and not realize that they are suffering from whooping cough. What are risk factors for whooping cough? Whooping cough can infect anyone. Unimmunized or incompletely immunized young infants are particularly vulnerable to the infection and its complications, which can include pneumonia and seizures. Can whooping cough be prevented with a vaccine? Whooping cough commonly affects infants and young children but can be prevented by immunization with pertussis vaccine. Pertussis vaccine is most commonly given in combination with the vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus. (Pertussis is the "P" in the DTaP combination inoculation

routinely given to children, and the "p" in the Tdap vaccine administered to adolescents and adults.) Since immunity from the pertussis vaccine wears off with time, many teenagers and adults get whooping cough. For maximum protection against pertussis, children need five DTaP shots. The first three vaccinations are given at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. The fourth vaccination is given between 15 and 18 months of age, and a fifth is given when a child enters school, at 4-6 years of age. Preteens going to the doctor for their regular checkup at 11 or 12 years of age should get a dose of the Tdap booster, and adults who didn't get Tdap as a preteen or teen should get one dose of Tdap. The easiest way for adults to ensure immunity is to get the Tdap vaccine instead of their next regular tetanus booster. (The Td shot is recommended every 10 years.) The vaccine has been deemed safe for pregnant women. To protect their infants, most pregnant women who were not previously vaccinated with Tdap should get one dose of Tdap during the late second trimester or third trimester of pregnancy. If not administered during pregnancy, women should get the vaccine postpartum before leaving the hospital or birthing center. Getting vaccinated with Tdap is especially important for mothers and families with new infants as well as all people caring for newborns. When a woman receives the Tdap vaccine during pregnancy, the antibodies she develops to the Bordetella pertussis bacterium are transferred to the infant, providing some additional protection to the infant before the baby can be fully vaccinated. Reviewed by Jay W. Marks, MD on 4/23/2012 Who should get the vaccine if exposed? All close contacts younger than 7 years of age who have not completed their primary vaccinations (including the DTaP to prevent pertussis) should complete this series with the minimum time between shots. Close contacts younger than 7 years of age who have completed their primary series but have not received a booster of DTaP within three years of exposure should be given the booster dose. Exposed adults should be vaccinated with Tdap. Anyone with whooping cough should be isolated for five days after starting antibiotics or until three weeks after the onset of the coughing spasms if the person has not received antibiotic treatment. Reviewed by David Perlstein, MD, MBA, FAAP on 8/5/2013 What are the symptoms of whooping cough? Symptoms of whooping cough typically last 6 to 10 weeks (but may last longer). In young children, three stages can occur. Older children and adults don't always go through the same stages. First Stage: Symptoms like those of a cold begin and last for several days to 2 weeks. Symptoms usually include sneezing, a runny nose, mild coughing, watery eyes, and sometimes a mild fever.
3

An infected person is most contagious during this stage. Second Stage: The most serious symptoms occur during this phase and last about 2 to 4 weeks or longer. As cold symptoms fade, the cough gets worse. A dry, hacking cough turns into bursts of uncontrollable, often violent coughing that may make it temporarily impossible to breathe. This may happen up to 30 times a day. The person may quickly inhale when trying to take a breath through airways narrowed by inflammation, which sometimes creates a whooping noise. In babies, coughing spells: May be triggered by very slight stimulation, such as taking in food or milk, sucking, exposure to a sudden sound or light, or stretching; May cause symptoms of flushed cheeks, pale or bluish complexion from lack of oxygen, and bulging or watery eyes. A baby may also stick out his or her tongue, push the chest forward, or flail arms and legs in distress; May be frightening to watch, although most ba bies recover and regain control of their breathing on their own. Babies generally feel well between coughing spells but may become exhausted from the physical effort of coughing. It's also possible that your baby's breathing could stop for a short time during the coughing spells. This is called apnea. May lead to hospitalization, especially if the baby is younger than 4 months of age. Third Stage: The final stage, lasting for a few weeks or months, is a gradual recovery period. Although the person gains strength and begins to feel better, the cough may become louder and sound worse. Coughing spells become less frequent, but may flare up again if a cold or other upper respiratory illness develops. This final stage may last longer in people who were not given the whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine. Complications, such as pneumonia or exertionrelated injuries from coughing, such as a hernia, can develop from whooping cough. These types of health problems pose the most serious risk to children younger than 4 months and to adults ages 60 and older. How is whooping cough treated? Treatment Program: Antibiotics Antibiotics reduce the period of communicability and should be initiated as soon as possible and within three weeks of the onset of the cough. Patients are no longer infectious after 5 days of appropriate antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics probably don't reduce cough duration in most patients.
4

Notes: * Early antibiotics reduce infectious period to 5 days but are unlikely to alter the duration of cough. * There is currently insufficient clinical evidence to recommend the use of roxithromycin for the man agement of pertussis. * Resistance of Bordetella pertussis to macrolides has been reported rarely. * Penicillins and cephalosporins are not effective against Bordetella pertussis. * Respiratory co-infections may occur and may require modification of antibiotic therapy. Sputum culture results should be used to guide antibi otic choice. * The following drugs are often recommended for the first three weeks of symptoms: Azithromycin, Clarithromycin, Erythromcin, and Trimethoprim+Sulfamethoxazole. The dosage depends on the age of the patient and the length of treatment depends on the seriousness of the infection. The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention is strongly urging all physicians to support immunizations for all groups of people regardless of their age. They strongly recommend that all children receive all the required immunizations in a timely manner. Hope you all enjoy the fall season and the change in the temperatures.

CONGREGATIONAL CARE The volunteer ministry packet will soon be in your mailboxes, and we hope that you will review it carefully and explore ways to serve God through our Volunteer Ministry Program. Congregational Care is always looking for people willing to bake items for our different activities and also for families who have had a loved one die. We also are always looking for additional folks who are willing to prepare meals and deliver them to persons or families who are dealing with medical issues and need help with meals. There is also a category of transportation, and we are increasingly getting requests to have persons who are willing to take people to doctors appointments. If any of these things seem like something you would like to do, please check them off on the form and return it either during Stewardship Sunday or bring it into the office.

PROPHETS/PROPHETESSES
This fall we have been studying several prophets in Sunday School. What is a prophet? Well, according to the NIV Compact Dictionary of the Bible, a prophet is a person who is a spokesman for God (Exod. 4:15-16), whether by vision or otherwise, and is given insight into the mind of God, and declares what he has seen as a message to the people. Prophets were not interpreters, but uttered the actual words that God had given to them, without any modification or interpretation on their part. A woman who exercised the prophetic gift in ancient Israel or in the early church was called a prophetess. There are at least five women bearing this designation in the Old Testament: Deborah ( Judges 4:4); Miriam, sister of Moses, (Exodus 15:20); Huldah (2 Kings 22:14); Noadiah (Neh. 6:14) ,and the unknown wife of Isaiah. So far this year we have studied Deborah, Samuel, and very soonElijah. There is a Sunday School class for all ages---come and get involved.

MUSIC, MUSIC

POSTURE AND MY AGING PARENTS

Two weeks ago I went to see my 87 year old parents in PA and was able to attend a physical therapy session for my Moms frozen shoulder. Wow, did I learn the importance of good posture-shoulders back and stand up straight! When you sit in a chair, your feet should be flat on the floor at a 90 degree angle to your thighs. Oh yea, and your thighs should be at a 90 degree angle to your straight back. The therapist suggested putting a sticker or a dot on the clock you look at the most as a reminder of Am I standing or sitting properly?

Ask the Rev

What is the Christian view on cremation?
The Christian view on cremation is a frequently discussed issue. When visiting the catacombs in Rome, one sees the care and concern the early Christians had in the burial of their dead. The care and interment of the body of the deceased of those early Christians were considered a testimony of the promised resurrection of the dead. It also distinguished a Christian burial from the Roman practice of public cremation of renowned military and political figures. The concern to preserve the testimony of the resurrection in a burial rather than cremation continues in the minds and practices of many Christians to this day. Although Christianity places great importance on the body as a wonderful creation of God, there is no Scripture that deals with the subject of cremation. The Bible does state that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and thus we know that departed Christians are not asleep in their grave awaiting the resurrection as is taught by some. They are in heaven enjoying the blessing of the Lord. We also know that many Christians have been lost at sea or consumed in fires. That has no bearing on their destiny. At the resurrection, God who knows the unique DNA of everyone is able to reconstruct and change our mortal bodies to our eternal spiritual form and thus the issue of cremation for the Christian is a personal choice. My sister, the wife of a Church of God minister had her husband and son cremated and wants the same for her. Other Christians want a burial. Both are acceptable in Christian theology. 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. Have a question? Ask the Rev!!!

Stories from the Basement Help and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc. By Donna Clark RN, Director
Many years ago we had an addiction counselor work with us on Saturdays when we offered a day dropin center for the homeless. Ed was a very knowledgeable man who taught us a great deal about working with addicted personalities. One of the lessons he gave us was about expectations. Expectations are what we bring to the table when we meet anyone. We own our expectations; they do not belong to the other person we are dealing with. When the other person does not live up to our expectations we are disappointed in them and often feel like the other person has failed us. This leads to anger, frustration and sometimes rejection on our part.

H.O.P.E., Inc. currently has two very addicted clients who are a part of our family. They have been chronically addicted to alcohol for many years and although, sometimes difficult to deal with, we love them. Recently they both walked into the office together eliciting a groan on my part. I keep a list of Godly traits taped to my desk, patience, kindness, gentleness, peaceable, etc. I looked down at the list and up at the ceiling and asked for all of these to be present in my demeanor that afternoon. One wanted to start to apply for disability but I suggested that he first get into mental health care and stay in it. I pointed out that his only disability was his addiction and unless he was doing something about it he would not get disability. The other complained about his state of homelessness and I reminded him that ever since I knew him I had encouraged him to get mental health care. He laughed and said he didn't need it. He has had a severe head injury in the past and is in great need of mental health care but that is an argument I haven't won, yet. For years now I try not to place my expectations on the people we serve. We have seen it again and again when a client gets sober, starts to get back into society and just when we think he has made the jump he "falls off the wagon" and slips back into his addictions. The feelings of failure and frustration become a part of our reaction to this situation and we reject the person who has not met our expectations. It's hard to understand why the person went back to their drug of choice. No matter why it happened it is not our job as Christians to judge another; our job is to love. Love unconditionally as Jesus did, as God loves us. The addicted person will achieve sobriety when they are ready, not because of our expectations.

As I watched these two lovable characters climb the steps to leave I prayed that God would watch over them and protect them. They are God's children too. I Corinthians, 13... Love is patient; love is kind

Be an angel! Angel Tree Ministries is fast approaching! Look for the white tree in the back of the sanctuary. Select your Angel Tree tag while they still are available from the tree. Each child receives one fun gift, such as a toy, and one clothing item. We are also going to provide each family with a $25 gift card to Walmart, so you may choose to purchase a gift card by selecting a Walmart gift tag from the tree. Please prayerfully consider these children and their caregivers. If you remove a tag, please fill out the tracking card and place it in the box provided. This will allow us to contact you if there are any issues regarding your child. Your wrapped gift should be returned to the back of the sanctuary. Please be sure that the angel tag you took from the tree is affixed to the gift so that it can be properly identified. How else can you help? We really need volunteers to help deliver the gifts. A delivery volunteer sign-up sheet will be in the back of the sanctuary, next to the Angel Tree. We only deliver during daylight hours. It generally takes about 15 minutes to complete this volunteer project. Delivery times are generally from 11:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m. This time is flexible, based on your availability, but the time must be called in to the receiving family in advance. Dates for returning gifts to the sanctuary and for delivering the gifts will be promulgated in the church bulletin at a later date. If you have any other questions, please contact Katie Mason (410-4306331) or the church office (410-749-5562).
