Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

Greetings!
The blessing of good stewardship!
“The God of heaven is the one who will give us success, and we his servants are going to start building….” (Nehemiah 2:20)
Biblical history fascinates me. Nehemiah was a simple cup bearer to a foreign king. Okay, he tasted the wine to ensure a noble was not poisoned. But God stirred his heart to be something more and to lead a revolution of the spirit. With a humble heart, a king’s servant became a servant-leader of a holy people that rebuilt the wall around the holy city of Jerusalem. If God can do that with a wine taster, just imagine what God can do with you and me!
God stirred the hearts of Trinity United Methodist Church to create a new holy space, not so different than hearts of Hebrew people long ago. In 2010, God stirred your hearts to purchase ten acres of land for a holy space on Plymouth Avenue - and you paid off that debt in record time. In 2016, God stirred your hearts to start a capital campaign and, with God’s help, you have already raised almost $850,000!
God stirred your hearts last fall to approve a footprint and financial plan for the new Trinity United Methodist Church. God is now stirring the Building Committee in their planning and things are moving quickly toward a groundbreaking.
I have some more amazing things that your financial stewardship has accomplished through the grace and blessing of our Lord:
1. Five years ago, you had an annual budget of $433,947 and it included a preschool, with 243 giving units (or households). That equated to every household giving, on average, $1,786 annually.
2. Today we have an annual budget of $405,650 with 132 giving units. Instead of losing over $40,000 with a preschool, we are gaining over $10,000. That equates to our households giving, on average, $3,073 annually. Consider, also, that back then we were not giving to a capital campaign. In just five years we have increased our giving per household by $1,287. This is reason to celebrate generous and unselfish hearts!
3. Trinity has great resources moving forward as well. We have the Florida Conference, East Central District and Florida Foundation that will be with us every step of the way. We’ll also have the wonderful sale of this beautiful old church building to a new owner.
4. Just as God stirred up folks in Nehemiah’s time, I believe God is stirring our hearts as well. Yes, we have lost a few folks over time, but do not discount the folks
we've not even met yet who will want to see this “new thing” God is doing among us. When God does a new thing, why would we have doubts? The second half of Nehemiah 2:20 addresses the doubters,
“...but you have no share or claim or historic right in Jerusalem.” I do not have any doubts about God’s ability and purpose for Trinity UMC!
“Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.” (Philippians 4:8-9)
Sometimes we all have doubts about what we can accomplish and we may worry about our future, but remember,
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Phi 4:13). The power is in the authority and grace of God. The Lord never does anything halfway for those who have faith!
Shabbat Shalom…may you have God’s Sabbath peace/rest.
Your humble servant in Christ Jesus,

SERMON SERIES FOR THE MONTH

March 4, 3rd Sunday of Lent
John 2:13-22 Communion
Courage of Faithfulness
Confronting injustice, hypocrisy, and the misappropriation of God’s name, we look forward to the day when God’s will is done on earth as it is in heaven. But…is it I Lord? Have I tolerated and encouraged the temple authorities? Is it I Lord who should have known better…is it I Lord?
************************
March 11, 4th Sunday of Lent - UMCOR Sunday
John 3:14-22
Not just another love story
Moses protecting Israel…Jesus protecting the world. This is the greatest love story ever written by the greatest author this world has ever witnessed!
************************
March 18, 5th Sunday of Lent
Luke 15
Mark and Helen Jackson will be bringing the message this day.
************************
March 25, Palm Sunday
Triumphant Entry (Mark 11:1-11)
Sittin' on a donkey!
Jesus’ entry into the holy city is a well-planned carnival parody of real kingship. Too often we overlook the importance of the Triumphant Entry as we enter Holy Week. Palm Sunday is an invitation to pause in the moment and focus on the importance of Jesus alone.
************************
March 29, Holy Thursday (6:00 p.m.)
Passover Meal, Seder Celebration, Communion
Except for the resurrection on Easter, Holy Thursday is possibly one of the most important, complex, and profound days of celebration in the church. The disciples are gathered for the annual Passover meal and Seder worship service, but Jesus offers himself as the Passover sacrifice, the sacrificial lamb, and teaches that followers of the way will have hope in his resurrection. This evening will begin with a wonderful Passover meal, reliving the Exodus of the Jews in the Seder and reliving and participating in the Eucharist.
************************
March 30 Outdoor Good Friday (5:00-8:00 p.m.)
Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross refers to a self-guided journey featuring a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion with accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem which is believed to be the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The object of the event is to encourage faithful believers to pray and contemplate the many challenges Jesus faced.
The experience of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross will take place either at the new property on Plymouth Avenue, if construction has not begun, or in the church courtyard. Walkers may read, contemplate, and pray at their own pace. You may enter the Stations between 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
************************
April 1 Easter (6:45 a.m.-noon)
Do You Believe?
On Sunday, April 1st, there will be a magnificent celebration of the resurrection story through both message and music. First, a
Sunrise Service will be held on the Plymouth Avenue property beginning at 6:45 a.m. Pastor Golden’s sermon will be based on Luke 24:1-12.
Both of our regular worship services will be held in Trinity’s Sanctuary. The early service, with its more blended-style of worship featuring Trinity’s Praise Team, will begin at 8:30 a.m. Pastor Dale will present a message titled
“Hope Is Alive!” which will be repeated at the later service. The sermon is based on John 20:1-18. Trinity’s Praise Team will share an arrangement of
“Amen”, and
“The Lion and the Lamb”, two very powerful songs expressing the power and majesty of our Lord, and His sacrifice for us on Easter.
From 9:30 to 10:45 a.m., a brunch will be served in the Fellowship Hall. Cost is by donation and the proceeds will go to support Trinity’s Youth and their planned mission trip and camping experience this summer. An
Easter Egg Hunt with crafts, prizes and games will take place inside and outside (weather permitting) for toddlers and young children.
The Chancel Choir, accompanied by organist Larry Graham at the 11 a.m. service, will sing
“Fanfare for Easter Day” and
“God Rolled the Stone Away” – an exciting, rousing arrangement of the excitement of the morning when the disciples arrived to see the stone was rolled away, and our Savior was no longer there.
Members, visitors and friends are encouraged to bring their entire families. Arrive early and bring fresh spring flowers to place on the large cross located outside of the Sanctuary (Clara Avenue) entrance. Designated parking for visitors is on the Clara Avenue side, as well. The Nursery is staffed by child care professionals who look forward to meeting all little angels ages birth to 5, and Children’s Church will be open to children ages 6-9 during both the 8:30 and 11 a.m. services. For more information about the worship services, contact Pastor Dale or Conya Hartman at (386) 734-4425, extension 205.

The following is a reprint of the first article in a series on the opioid addiction crisis written by Sandra Steiner Ball, Bishop of the West Virginia Conference of the United Methodist Church:
OPIOIDS - ONE FAMILY OF DRUGS
by Bishop Sandra Steiner Ball
Education
Our current epidemic with opioids began thousands of years ago when someone, most likely in the current area of Turkey, was looking for something to eat and decided to try some part of the seed pod of a poppy. This person’s hunger was satisfied, and they had a unique feeling of wellbeing along with their headache being gone! This person told another person, and before long people were harvesting the poppy seeds and brewing them in tea or mixing them with wine.
Homer, the Greek author of
Iliad and
The Odyssey wrote,
"Into the bowl in which their wine was mixed, she slipped a drug that had the power of robbing grief and anger of their sting and banishing all painful memories. No one who swallowed this dissolved in their wine could shed a single tear that day, even for the death of his mother or father, or if they put his brother or his own son to the sword and he were there to see it done..."
Over time, chemists changed the molecular makeup of the poppy and created opium. Just before the American Civil War, morphine was created from opium. Around the same time came the invention of the hypodermic needle, which helped morphine become a miracle drug for wounded soldiers facing horrible battlefield surgeries. Unfortunately, opium and morphine, while great at curbing pain, were very addictive. Heroin was created later during WWI with the hope of making morphine stronger but less addictive. It did not work.
Scientists later were able to create a manmade form of the opioid molecule and thus created hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl and carfentanyl. No longer were the opioid painkillers labor-intensive, requiring the growing and harvesting poppies, but could be massed produced in factories at a fraction of the cost. These manmade opioids were created for post-surgical use and end-of-life care (to comfort dying cancer patients).
Today we are caught in an addiction epidemic that is being fueled by opium, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone. heroin, methadone, fentanyl or carfentanyl, all chemically related to the poppy.
When your physician is helping you deal with pain issues, always ask if what you are being prescribed is an opioid and have a frank discussion about possible addiction issues and other pain reducing drugs that might not be so addictive.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE DATES
This year's Annual Conference event will be held in Florida Southern College’s Branscomb Auditorium, 1085 Johnson Avenue, Lakeland, June 7-9.
Our theme this year is
“Remembering Who We Are" and activities will feature and reflect on the day, fifty years ago, when Evangelical United Brethren (EUB) Bishop Rueben H. Mueller and Methodist Bishop Lloyd C. Wicke joined hands over a table laden with symbols--the Bible, hymnals, books of Discipline and a 307-page "Plan of Union." 1,300 delegates and 10,000 visitors met in Dallas, Texas, on April 23, 1968 proclaiming the formation of the newly-constituted United Methodist Church when 10.3 million Methodists and 750,000 members of the EUB Church merged to become one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world.

NEWS FROM YOUR NOMINATIONS & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT TEAM
In an effort to restructure and better utilize Trinity's leadership this year, we intend to focus our attention on three critical areas:
Nurturing,
Outreach and
Witness.
The area of
Nurture will be overseen by our current Christian Education Team and will encompass the education, training and mentoring of everyone from toddler to senior adult as they grow in knowledge and understanding of their faith, as well as deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ. Donna Beaty will serve as the 2018 Nurture Team Leader.
The area of
Outreach will be overseen by our new Outreach Team and will engage and involve individuals in acts of Christian love and faith to the poor and needy of our world. Cindy Fox will serve as the 2018 Outreach Team Leader.
The area of
Witness will be overseen by a Witness Team whose purpose is to connect ministries, such as membership, hospitality and communications by strengthening our evangelistic efforts of sharing personal stories of Christian experience, faith, and service. Through these efforts, members of Trinity UMC can give expressions of witness for Jesus Christ.
We are currently seeking a
Witness Team Leader. This individual will be asked to work closely with the senior pastor, hospitality, membership and communications team leaders on developing a written plan and setting goals for congregational growth, visitation and membership care.
For more information, contact Pastor Dale, chair.

Dear Trinity Family,
Recently, we heard these words spoken once again by officials after the high school massacre in Parkland,
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.”
Katelyn Beaty, editor at large for
Christianity Today, suggests that many Americans think “thoughts and prayers” should “die a good platitude’s death.” Instead of expressing a caring sentiment, it’s beginning to sound like a phrase that’s hollow and meaningless and what we need is action!
Beaty writes, “Prayer is not inaction. It’s perhaps the most powerful form of action you can engage in during a crisis. There are good reasons why prayer remains a daily activity for more than half of all Americans including about one in five religiously unaffiliated people or “nones”. It’s been proven that prayer can reshape the human brain, leading to increased focus and peace. Those who pray regularly are more focused, less anxious and connect to other people. Prayer promotes clear, calm and empathetic feelings.”
Studies have shown that prayer and meditation result in “better emotional regulation, more empathy, less fear and an increased ability to stay focused on difficult situations.” It is Beaty's belief that if thoughts and prayers are regularly and sincerely lifted up by elected officials deciding on “complicated issues such as gun control, it will be more helpful in leading us toward better policy solutions than would an urgent, fretful, ill-considered response."
Our God is not just looking down on innocent lives being taken. The Psalmist writes, “He bends down to listen” and “inclines His ears to hear.” If those of us who believe in the power of prayer really mean it, then the first thing we should do when we hear the news is to pray, for if we think we can stop this senselessness on our own, we are sadly mistaken. It hasn’t worked for us in the past and it isn’t going to work now unless we get alone with God and appeal to Him with our thoughts and prayers.
Please continue praying with me for a workable solution to this issue. Also, let us continue to pray for all of our members and friends listed in the Church directory, here are the next five names:
Marty and Sue Atkinson, Billy and Mandy Austin and their sons,
Karen Averill, Tory and Bryce Ball, Alma "Mo" Barker
Blessings,
Carolyn Harner, Prayer Team Coordinator

Ways to Help Trinity Grow!

TRUSTEES'
UPDATE
Trustees were notified of the closing and availability of the former First Christian Church property on New York Avenue. After a site walk-through by our Trustees, it was decided that the cons far outweighed the pros and it was agreed that Trinity would not make an offer to purchase the property.
Trustees have purchased and installed a portable defibrillator in the Sanctuary. Also, hand sanitizers have been installed on walls in public areas (kitchen and Narthex) to combat flu germs. New signage that is forthcoming will give direction to the locations of the new installations.
Pastor Dale has contacted and met with Father Brian, representing Saint Barnabus Episcopal School, with regard to their need for additional office space on the third floor of our facility. We have agreed to lease the space, which will provide us with a new income stream and hopefully lead to even more blessings!!! Thank you Pastor Golden! Great job from all the Trustees!
I attended a security summit held at First UMC DeLand, along with Head Usher, Jeff Hansard, Pastor Dale and John Campbell. As a result of the seminar, a new Safety & Security Committee has been formed to discuss ideas and suggestions to address concerns and needs. Some of the suggestions include locking all outside doors (after a worship service begins) and installing a doorbell which will be monitored by the ushers. Other ideas are being considered. As Trustees, we will review all suggestions forwarded to us as soon as possible. Our next meeting is March 14th.
Happy Lenten Season and blessing to all from the Trustees!

TRINITY BUILDING COMMITTEE
|
A requests for

The committee will meet shortly after the bid due date with our architect to review the applicants and create a "short list" of those to be brought in for interviews. Also being reviewed at that meeting will be the modified kitchen layout.

1. Human trafficking in the U.S. is a $9.8 billion industry.?
2. 13 is the average age a child is first exploited through prostitution?
3. At least 100,000 U.S. children are exploited every year?
4. 1.68 million American children run away each year; they are especially vulnerable to being trafficked by a pimp?
