Thank You Notes 19
Dear members and friends of Trinity United Methodist Church:

The summer of 2014 is almost here. Summer brings with it a time of rest and re-
laxation and reflection. This summer I would encourage you to pause and ponder
the many blessings we are so privileged to enjoy.

Holy God has looked upon the United States of America with great favor and ex-
tended His hand of grace, generosity, and provision all across this great land. We
know that God is faithful to His Word and has proven to be a gracious and gener-
ous provider.

First of all, we have a godly heritage. The documents of history show that 52 of
the 55 men who signed our Constitution were men of deep faith. They have been
described as orthodox and evangelical Christians. This country was founded
upon Biblical principles and a Christ-centered interpretation of justice, fairness,
and equal opportunity.

Secondly, just think about all the natural resources that are found in our great
land. What God has placed at our feet are blessings of ore, minerals, fuels, for-
ests, bays, rivers, lakes, farmlands, and much much more. God has provided not
only what we need for ourselves but also abundance so that we can provide for
those living in abject poverty in distant lands.

Thirdly, we are privileged to enjoy the free enterprise system here in this great
land. I know the economy is not robust right now, but this is a remarkable bless-
ing that provides incredible opportunities.

Finally, just think about our freedom. Every time you cast a ballot, no matter
what your political persuasion or how important or unimportant a given election
may seem, we need to give thanks to God for the freedom to personally impact
the direction of this country. This is an amazing blessing that is completely for-
eign in many nations around the world.

So, this summer I would encourage you to pause and ponder the many blessings
God has graciously and generously bestowed upon this great land.

Enough said. See you in Church!

God bless,

Rev. George R. Patterson, MDiv.
Senior Pastor

Food Safety Tips for a Safe and Healthy
Summer
Health Outreach Ministry
Dr. Dot Baker
Heres your annual food safety message from your Health Outreach Ministry
Please Eat Safely This Summer
WASH Hands, Utensils, and Food Preparation Surfaces - Food safety begins with hand-washing even in outdoor
settings. Use a water jug, soap, and paper towels. Use moist disposable towelettes to clean your hands. Keep all uten-
sils and platters clean when preparing food.
PREPARE Fruits and Vegetables Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables - (including those with skins and rinds that are
not eaten) under running tap water before packing them. Packaged fruits and vegetables labeled "ready-to-eat,"
"washed," or "triple washed" need not be washed. Rub firm-skin fruits and vegetables under running tap water or
scrub with a clean vegetable brush as you rinse.
SAFE GRILLING Tips - Marinate foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter or outdoors. If some of the marinade is
to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion separately before adding the raw meat, poultry, or seafood.
Don't reuse marinade. Don't use the same platter and utensils that previously held raw meat or seafood to serve
cooked meats and seafood. If you partially cook food in the microwave, oven, or stove to reduce grilling time, do so
immediately before the food goes on the hot grill.
When it's time to cook the food, cook it thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached an ade-
quate internal temperature before serving. Beef, veal, and lamb steaks and roasts--145F for medium rare, 160F for
medium, and 170F for well done. Ground pork and ground beef--160F. Ground poultry--165F. Poultry breasts--
170F. Whole poultry (take measurement in the thigh)--180F. Fin fish--145F or until the flesh is opaque and sepa-
rates easily with a fork. Shrimp, lobster, and crabs--the meat should be pearly and opaque. Clams, oysters, and mus-
sels--until the shells are open. Grilled food can be kept hot until served by moving it to the side of the grill rack, just
away from the coals where it can overcook.
SERVE Food Safely - Keep cold foods COLD and hot foods HOT. Do not use a plate that previously held raw
meat, poultry, or seafood for ANYTHING else unless the plate has first been washed in hot, soapy water. Hot
food should be kept hot, at or above 140 F. Wrap well and place in an insulated container. Foods like chicken salad
and desserts in individual serving dishes can also be placed directly on ice or in a shallow container set in a deep pan
filled with ice. Drain off water as ice melts and replace ice frequently. Don't let perishable food sit out.
MAKE Ice cream - Every year homemade ice cream made with raw eggs causes several outbreaks of Salmonella infec-
tion. Instead of raw eggs, substitute a pasteurized egg product, egg substitute, or pasteurized shell eggs to decrease this
risk. You can also use a cooked egg base or prepare it without eggs. Even when using pasteurized products, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture advise consumers to start with a cooked base for
increased safety, especially if serving people at high risk. Finally, ensure that the dairy ingredients such as milk and
cream in homemade ice cream are pasteurized.
TRANSPORT Food - Keep COLD food COLD. Place cold food in a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs. Cold food
should be held at or below 40F. Consider packing beverages in one cooler and perishable foods in another. Meat, poul-
try, and seafood may be packed while it is still frozen so that it stays colder longer. Be sure to keep raw meat, poultry,
and seafood securely wrapped so their juices don't contaminate cooked foods or raw foods such as fruits and vegeta-
bles. After washing fruits and vegetables, dry them with a clean cloth towel or paper towel before packing them. Keep
the cooler in your air-conditioned car, rather than in a hot trunk. Limit the times the cooler is opened. DISCARD all
perishable foods if there is no ice in cooler or gel packs have thawed.
If you have questions, please contact the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's (CFSAN) Outreach and Information Center
at 1-888- 723-3366. Source: Food & Drug Administration - CFSAN

By Carolyn Lewis, RN

The summer months have begun, and with
them come the wonderful fresh vegetables and fruit.
Memorial Day always meant fresh shelled peas and
fresh strawberries, and when I was growing up that
meant fried chicken, peas and dumplings, and home-
made strawberry ice cream to celebrate the holiday.
It is nice that we can buy fresh vegetables
year round; however, they dont compare to the local
fruits and vegetables. There is just something about
the soil on the Eastern Shore that makes them taste
better. That being said, I found an article that ex-
plained the benefits of eating vegetables and thought
you might enjoy reading it.

Why Is it Important to Eat Vegetables?
Eating vegetables provides health benefits
people who eat more vegetables and fruits as part of
an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced
risk of some chronic diseases. Vegetables provide
nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your
body.
Health Benefits
- Eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits as
part of an overall healthy diet may reduce risk for
heart disease, including heart attack and stroke.
Eating a diet rich in some vegetables and fruits
as part of an overall healthy diet may protect
against certain types of cancers.
- Diets rich in foods containing fiber, such as
some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk
of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
- Eating vegetables and fruits rich in potassium
as part of an overall healthy diet may lower blood
pressure, and may also reduce the risk of devel-
oping kidney stones and help to decrease bone
loss.
- Eating foods such as vegetables that are
lower in calories per cup instead of some other
higher-calorie food may be useful in helping to
lower calorie intake.


Nutrients
- Most vegetables are naturally low in fat and
calories. None has cholesterol. (Sauces or sea-
sonings may add fat, calories, or cholesterol.)
- Vegetables are important sources of many
nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber,
folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.
- Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain
healthy blood pressure. Vegetable sources of
potassium include sweet potatoes, white pota-
toes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce,
and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans,
spinach, lentils, and kidney beans.
- Dietary fiber from vegetables, as part of an
overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood choles-
terol levels and may lower risk of heart disease.
- Fiber is important for proper bowel function.
It helps reduce constipation and diverticulosis.
Fiber-containing foods such as vegetables help
provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories.
- Folate (folic acid) helps the body form red
blood cells. Women of childbearing age who
may become pregnant should consume adequate
folate from foods, and in addition 400 mcg of
synthetic folic acid from fortified foods or sup-
plements. This reduces the risk of neural tube
defects, spina bifida, and anencephaly during
fetal development.
- Vitamin A keeps eyes and skin healthy and
helps to protect against infections.
- Vitamin C helps heal cuts and wounds and
keeps teeth and gums healthy. Vitamin C aids in
iron absorption.

Wishing you a great summer. Enjoy the
warm weather and time with family, but always stay
safe.

Gods peace be with you.

Commencement is a Beginning....
by Gustavus Federated Church,
Gustavus, Ohio

It is of interest that the name given to graduation ceremonies is commencement. This word signifies
not an ending, but the act of beginning. It refers to the beginning of the next phase of life, for which the
educational process has prepared us. That new phase may be a full-time job, marriage, additional education or some
combination of these, but whatever that next phase is, there is a real sense in which the end is also the beginning.

HEBREWS HEBREWS HEBREWS HEBREWS JAMES JAMES JAMES JAMES
Join us every Wednesday night this year as we study the non-Pauline letters of the New Testament: Hebrews, James, 1
& 2 Peter, and 1 & 2 & 3 John. We begin with the definitive book of Christian doctrine from its Jewish roots: the
Book of Hebrews. This book shows that supremacy of Jesus, and that He is the fulfillment of the Jewish prophecies
concerning the Messiah. It is a fascinating study that is the perfect sequence to our study of the gospel of John. It is a
study that gives a doctrinal foundation of the life of Christ. We then continue the study with the book of James written
by Christs half-brother. This book talks about Faith in Action. Join us each week for this new and exciting Bible
Study.

Irv Brumbley to Lead a
Gaither Hymn Sing at Trinity

On Sunday, July 27 at 6:00 p.m., Trinity will host a Gaither style hymn sing in the sanctuary led by Irv Brumbley. Irv
is known throughout the area as a talented musician and organizer of Gaither style hymn sings with participants that
include the host congregation. People come from all over to worship in these local church hymn sings. You wont want
to miss this important event as the great gospel songs are presented with the Spirits anointing. It will be a time of great
fun and worship in song. SEE YOU THERE!
ASK THE REV

Q. When do we go to heaven, at death or on the resurrection day?

The Bible is very clear that we who believe in Christ go to heaven at death. 2 Corinthians 5:6-9.
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Although there are some that believe
that the dead are asleep until the resurrection of the dead, that is not a Biblical doctrine. The Bible
uses the word sleep for those Christians who have died and gone on to be with the Lord, but they
are alive in heaven enjoying the blessing of God even now. But there is also a time during what is
called the rapture of the church when our spirit will take on a transformed body just like the body
that Christ had on earth after His resurrection.

1 Thessalonians 4: 13-17 talks about the rapture. When Paul, the writer of this book, mentions those asleep in Jesus, he
is referring to those who have died because certain individuals of that church had concerns about the dead in Christ. But
it is clear that they are with Christ in heaven, and at the rapture of the church, Jesus will bring them with Him, and their
Spirit will take on a transformed body which will be recognized by all those who knew them on earth just as Jesus
transformed body was known to his disciples.

1 Corinthians 13:12 says Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face-to-face. Now I know
in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. We shall be known and recognized by those we knew on
earth.

Romans 6:5 says If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his
resurrection. After Jesus resurrection, his transformed body was recognized as he was known on earth by his disciples
and all that knew him. This verse indicates that just as we may die a physical death as Christ did, we shall have the
same type of transfigured body at the resurrection that will be recognizable by all who knew us here on earth.

In the true story of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31), the rich man, although separated by a huge gulf, was able
to recognize Lazarus whom he knew on earth.

The resurrection of any body, but particularly those bodies completely destroyed by fire or lost at sea is hard for us to
comprehend. But God knows the genetic DNA of every individual and on the day of resurrection will have the DNA
pattern of each believer to assemble a transformed body, that like Christ, will be recognizable by those whom they have
known.

The Bible is very clear that although we may not have the same relationship with others in heaven as we did on earth
(since in heaven there is no marriage), we will know our loved ones and spend forever with them in the presence of the
Lord.


If you have a question for ASK THE REV contact Rev. DeFino or the church office.

UMW NEWS



What a wonderful two days we had
with our first Soup and Salad Sale. The
weather was great. The volunteers worked
so hard to help make this a success. Our
sales were super. Considering this concept
was different from the usual luncheons of the
past, all went well. Our ladies work so hard
because they know what a blessing it is to be
able to share the money we make to help
support our missions in Salisbury. Although
we have not had our final wrap-up, I am
pretty sure we will be doing the same thing
in the fall.
We want to thank you all for your con-
fidence in us, and we appreciate your sup-
port.

Vienna sausage, corned beef, etc.
The food themes for the Lazarus Food Pantry in the next three months are as follows: June: Ready to eat
meat such as canned ham, Spam, beef stew, chili, pork and beans, spaghetti and meatballs, Vienna sausage,
corned beef, etc. July: Ready to eat snack items such as granola bars, crackers, fruits, pudding, and juice

As always, the Lazarus Food Pantry greatly appreciates any donated food items. There is an ongoing need
for large diapers: sizes 3, 4, and 6, as well as mens and womens personal hygiene items. They also have a
need for the plastic grocery store bags that are used to line the brown paper bags before packing with the food
items. The BLUE Wal-Mart plastic bags seem to work especially well, but any plastic grocery bags would be
greatly appreciated! During the summer worship schedule, we will be collecting food and non-food items at
the 9:00 am Riverwalk Service, as well as in the back of the church sanctuary at the 8:00 am and 10:00 am
Services! Trinity has reached 62,529 food items since the beginning of this program in 2005. Thank you for
your support!

Norman and Lorna Lyster and Trinity volunteers will continue to serve hot meals to the poor and hungry at the
Joseph House soup kitchen on the third Wednesday of every month, during the summer months. If interested
in volunteering, the summer serving dates are June 18, July 16, and August 20.

Thank you again for your GENEROSITY and CONTINUOUS support of ALL Trinitys mission projects!

THANKS DOT

THANK YOU: On behalf of the members and
friends of the Trinity UMC we want to express our
heartfelt thanks to Dr. Dot Baker for her sacrificial
and most faithful service that she has graciously pro-
vided to Trinity UMC these past twelve years as the
keyboardist for the summer Riverwalk services.
With grace and dignity Dr. Dot has served as an out-

SOUNDS OF PRAISE

Thanks to all for the positive comments
about the participation in worship of our
bell choir, Sounds of Praise. If you have
thought of becoming a bell ringer, or just want to explore
ringing, please contact Rev. Harry Gray at
harry_gray@verizon.net At this writing we have a full
complement of ringers for our three-octave sets of bells
and handchimes, but change happens. There are a couple
of levels of entry into handbell ringing at Trinity. Please
call or e-mail for more information.
Be sure to note the underscore between my names in

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

Its a rainy day and really too wet for anyone to go out
in the weather. Our office has been slow today but some
have braved the weather to get assistance. We are blessed
to be able to provide a place for the homeless to get out
of the weather. Its sometimes hard to close the doors at
the end of hours when all they ask of us is a dry warm
place to sit. Of course the food helps make their stay
pleasant.
Today we saw a lady who had a list of medications as
long as your arm. She was still waiting to hear from the
state on her medical assistance number and had no cover-
age for her medications. Thanks to the collaborative ef-
forts of other social assistance agencies her needs were
met. Our agency is successful due completely to the ef-
forts of our volunteers and, of course, donors. Volunteer
talents come in a variety of ways and have many faces.
One lady prepares a meal for Fridays, so we can feed the
hungry. Another person collects clothing and allows us to
clothe those in need. The office staff provides love and
guidance to anyone who walks through the door. Others
pray for us and those we serve. There are the people who
are available on a moments notice to notarize paper-
work, provide emergency transportation to doctors ap-
pointments, or to run an errand for us. We have guidance
through our Board of Directors for business questions
and decisions affecting the future of the agency.
Recently, on a day that the regular staff was out doing
various activities, we had two people to serve those in
need. The line of clients was growing rapidly to sign in
for services and out of nowhere a young woman walked
in and asked to volunteer. She had resume in hand and
had excellent previous experience working with clientele
similar to those we serve. She stepped up to the challenge
of working in an office she had never been in, using
forms she had never seen before, and provided love and
compassion to the marginalized people who entered our
office that day.
Volunteers are the perfect example of I Corinthians, 12.
Thank you Lord for those you send to serve.

Thank you!
I want to take this time to thank my Trinity family
for all the prayers, cards, visits, and gifts of food I
received after my fall on January 28 when I broke
my right hip. My improvement is slow, and I am
still getting therapy, but with the encouragement of
family and friends, I Am Feeling Better ! Thanks
and God Bless !
Norris Cartwright

Our greatest thanks are extended to our trinity fam-
ily. We appreciate every card, text, e-mail, and
phone call. Your support is why we chose, so many
years ago, to be part of this wonderful congregation.
My mother loved this church and was touched by all
of you and the incredible pastoral support during her
illness. Thank you.
The Shaner family

I want to thank each and everyone for the cards,
phone calls, and all the many prayers that were sent
to me during my illness. Also, I want to especially
thank Rev. Patterson for his visits, as they meant so
much to me, and to Rev. Vroman for his calls, too. I
am so blessed to have so many friends and my
church family who were concerned for me. Thank
you for all your kindness.
Barbara C. Phillips
(Mrs. Bryan)

My sincere thanks for all the cards, prayers, and
good wishes during my medical down time and to
Rev. Vroman for his attentive pastoral care. A spe-
cial thanks to a certain busy young lady for a deli-
cious complete dinner. It came at an especially diffi-
cult day. Gods work in action!
Sincerely,
Barbara Phillips
(Mrs. Wayne)


Its hard for me to find the words to adequately
thank you for all the prayers, calls of encouragement,
and cards that I received while in Mercy Hospital
and during my recuperation at home. It has been a
long, slow battle, but I feel like my strength and
healing are finally returning. Our ministers have
been so supportive, and Rev. Pattersons daily calls
to Joe meant a great deal to both of us. I am looking
forward to returning to Trinity and thanking each of
you personally. May the love and kindness you have
shown to me come back to bless each of you.
Shirley Poteet

Thank you for your cards, well wishes, and espe-
cially for your prayers. I am in my seventh year with
ALS, and I really appreciate being remembered by
my church family. Thanks too for the DVDs of the
services and for visits from Rev. Vroman and from
Carol Mears.
With love,
Nancy Sterling

I want to thank everyone for their cards and phone
calls after my surgery. A special thank you to Rev.
Patterson and Rev. Vroman for their visits and
prayers while I was in the hospital.
Ann Calloway

I would like to thank everybody for their prayers
and cards. Their sincere concern was encouraging
and healing. The visits from our ministers gave me
great comfort. The Trinity family is indeed a caring
group.
Many thanks,
Jack Slayton

Thank you for all your cards and notes during my
recent surgery. I have been so well impressed with
the friendship and caring you all have shown me.
Now that I am an associate member of the church, I
plan to take part in some way with one of the
womens activities as soon as I am able. Thanks
again.
Fondly,
Lois Shockley Wootten
