Pastor Angie's In-Spire-ations July 2018



Summer has finally come and here we are talking about the Fall.  Pastor Chris and I have been meeting with a team from St. John’s Lutheran to kick off the Block Party.  Mark your calendars…
WHERE:  Trinity East parking lot (same as last year)
WHEN:    September 15th (Saturday)
TIME:       Noon to 3:00 pm
The feedback from the health fair idea and having the emergency crews on hand was positive last year with our neighbors, so we are bringing back those elements.
Here’s what’s happening so far:
Police, Fire, EMS will be on hand.  We’re working on bringing back fingerprinting.
Parkview Noble programs, Walgreens for flu shots, Drug Free Noble County, St Martin’s Health and we are working on adding mental health this year.
Bounce Houses and if we talk really nice to Brad…maybe the game trailer???
Pastor Phil is volleying for a dunk tank, but we’re afraid it will turn into a dunk the pastor game and that scares me.  😊
We’re adding an “information station” where our neighbors can find local resources they may need and a prayer area.
We MIGHT even have a car care workshop going on!  This is a huge concern for many of our folks so this would be a great addition.
There are some other medical services we are working on and of course the food!
Here’s what we need from YOU:
We will meet again in on August 8th at 4 pm at Trinity in room 101. 
We will be putting together sign up lists for food and walking the neighborhood to personally invite our neighbors.  Last year, about 4 of us did the whole walking gig.  We really need more people out there helping us get the word out.  We will have walking maps of the area we will cover surrounding our churches.
Look for an interest sign up in July so that I know who can be on hand to help us as we put together the remaining details.  The St John’s team is so much fun.   Don’t miss out!
This is another GREAT way we can be FOR our neighbors.  Please come out and sit with someone new to eat with them and get to know them.  You WILL be blessed.

What’s Going On? By Pastor Chris April 2019

What’s Going On? By Pastor Chris Today I am going to do one of my favorite things. Answer questions that nobody asked. You may have seen that our special Easter offering is going to the Matsiko world orphan choir. My worry is that we may not have painted the full picture of who this group is and their ministry. (Especially since I put the wrong date of their performance in previous communications). So in an effort to communicate more clearly here are a few unasked answered questions (would that be a UAQ rather than a FAQ (Frequently asked questions))? What is the Matsiko World Orphan Choir? Currently made up of some of the poorest orphaned and at-risk children from Peru, India, Liberia and Nepal, the Matsiko World Orphan Choir (the flagship vehicle of International Children’s Network – ICN) captures the hearts of all who hear their hope-filled message. The kids sing with such passion and meaning that their hope of overcoming tragedy and the life-changing effects of an education

Pastor Angie's In-Spire-ations April 2019

Last month, I asked you to reflect on three questions during Lent: What will you do…learn…or become in the liminal space between now and July?   What will you let go of so that your hands are free to embrace something new? What can we do together that will make us even stronger when our new pastor arrives? It has been a challenging month for many of us personally, professionally and as a church family coming to terms with Chris moving and a new pastor coming…and then NOT coming.   The word “mulligan” just might be our buzz word for a little while!   I’m not generally a Wikipedia fan, but I looked up the word mulligan and this is what it said, “A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. Its best-known meaning is in golf, whereby a player is informally allowed to replay a stroke, even though this is against the formal rules of golf.” When I think of mulligan, I remember the story of mull
