Happy Easter!
"...Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:29
|

Greetings!
“I give you rest…”
“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew 11:28
Wow. Easter is tomorrow. My brain is rattling with so many details and too many items still on my to-do lists. What if I should forget something really important? Who is doing this and who is doing that? The “what if’s” can be overwhelming. Perhaps these have been your feelings, as well, during Holy Week? I realize you could be reading this after Easter, but I thought the wise words of Scripture could help us anytime of the year.
Too often, we carry too many burdens and have too many troublesome worries. Then the unforeseen happens. This week (of all weeks!) my body and my doctor instructed me to take a “time out". Sometimes I think God speaks to us through our bodies. The Lord does not give us rest for His sake but for ours. So, in my down time, I went to Scripture for answers and rest. I discerned God’s peace through His divinely inspired Word.
“Do not worry..." (Matthew 6:25-34)
...about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today."
That’s fine Lord, but I still have so much to do! Again, Scripture tells us,
“I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety” Psalm 4:8. Well, I suppose if everything isn’t perfect, God will certainly forgive us and give us rest from our burdens. Lord, what other assurance do you have for us?
“My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
This morning I could not help noticing the warm wind blowing through the trees, and between pockets of moisture darkened clouds with a little sunshine poking through. And a song rang through my mind. It was Doris Day singing:
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long. ~ Psalm 23:6
Your humbled servant in Christ Jesus,

SERMON SERIES FOR THE MONTH
|
|
|
|
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.
April 8 - 2nd Sunday of Easter
Pastor Dan Casselberry will present "The Walk to Emmaus - Part 1"
April 15 - 3rd Sunday of Easter & Baptism
Pastor Dan Casselberry will present "The Walk to Emmaus - Part 2"
April 22 - 4th Sunday of Easter
New Series begins -
“Revival of Israel with Ezra and Nehemiah”
Changing times have always been interesting but more often challenging for societies. The way Israel rediscovered who they were, as former exiles, could shed light on who we are now in the 21st Century. Our Judeo-Christian heritage may give encouraging insight to not just surviving but thriving in the looming
Christian tsunami of 2021-2050 (I’ll share more about that one day soon). The time to act is now. We can choose to barely survive or we can look for new ways to grow and prosper!
April 22, Ezra 1-6 -
Setting the Scene
April 29 Nehemiah 1-3, 4-11a -
A Prayer of Forgiveness

NEWS FROM THE UM CHURCH
AND FLORIDA CONFERENCE
|
|
Amid tumult of 1968, a church came together
DALLAS (UMNS) — At a time when it seemed much of the world was violently splitting apart, a group of Wesleyan Christians peacefully and joyfully were coming together to form a new denomination. Historians say 50 years later, the formation of The United Methodist Church offers lessons for today. Click HERE to read the story.

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.
Want to learn more about the inner-workings of our denomination? Contact Pastor Dale or Cindy Fox, Trinity's Lay Delegate to Annual Conference.

COMMUNICATIONS UPDATES
A new welcome brochure has been created for the purpose of introducing visitors to Trinity. Pick up a few and carry them around wherever you go so you will have a brochure on hand to give that special friend or neighbor!
A video has also been created that will be posted on our website and Facebook page in the near future. Don and April Brunning agreed to record the video which will feature Pastor Dale and Conya Hartman on the church grounds and on the new property. (
Be sure to thank them when you see them at church!!) A second video is still being planned. This one will be more of a historical perspective and will
“tell our history” featuring stories told by senior members of the church, as well as highlighting some of our historical artifacts and documents. If you would like to help with this endeavor, contact Tom Cunningham, church historian.
It has now become critical to cross-train members on the various tools used in communications. One-on-one trainings will be offered to anyone who would like to assist with communications. Trainings on how to update our website and the church calendar will be offered, as well as instruction on how to create an e-blast using
Constant Contact, how to create postings for
Facebook and
Twitter, and how to write articles for publication in area newspapers and magazines. If you would like to be trained in any of these areas, which are
vitally important to Trinity’s operations and ministries, please email or call me.

We have a few of the
TrinityStrong tee shirts left. The sizes are as follows:
Large – 1
X-Large – 4
3 X-Large - 1
Please see Lori Jones in the office to give them a look-see. The Administrative Council will consider making a second order of tee shirts in the near future, so stay tuned to this space for more information.

The Florida Annual Conference asks all churches to maintain good records and data (known as
Mission Vital Signs). For that reason, we would like to ensure that all of Trinity's
small groups are
counting attendance and sending
the number of participants every week to the church office.
Instead of simply sending in a number, if you would like to create and turn in a sign-in roster, that works too! See Lori Jones or Pastor Dale for details and assistance.

WHERE IS GOD? LOOKING FOR GOD SIGHTINGS
Every month we would like to post stories in our newsletter and on our Facebook page about where our members have seen God at work and helpful information to share about our small groups and ministries.
We would love to tell stories (yours or those of others you know) of healing, forgiveness and transformation!
To suggest an idea for a story or to share yours, send me an email using
this email address
or call me.

A PERSONAL NOTE FOR THE TRINITY FAMILY
“We cannot thank everyone enough for all the support from our church family during a most difficult time. God Bless you all."
With deepest gratitude,
The Hank Kobler Family

Dear Trinity Family,
Soon the exhilaration of Easter will be upon us. We’ll greet each other with shouts of “He is Risen!“ followed by the reply, “He has risen indeed!” There is excitement in the air as we celebrate our Lord’s resurrection by listening to beautiful music while the morning sun pours through the windows, turning the sanctuary into amber. Pots and pots and pots of spring flowers around the altar lightly scent the air with their fragrance. The children are dressed in new clothes and later a meal will be shared with family and friends. It is an exciting time for all but when it has passed, what then? Will we return to our daily routine unchanged? Will Easter’s glow last a while and then diminish? Unless we keep our love for Jesus and His sacrifice alive in our hearts, another Easter will have come and gone and we will have forgotten that we are Easter people.
Lately I’ve been reading about how to rekindle and retain the passion we had for Jesus when we first encountered Him either through a dramatic conversion or coming to faith more gradually. For me, it was in Maryland at a Methodist youth camp and again in the '70s in Plantation when I was baptized in a friend’s pool. Over the years, however, that passionate love for our Savior has sometimes diminished. How do we keep it alive and fresh, like a good marriage?
The answer is different for everyone but for me it’s prayer. Regular church attendance, scripture reading, and devotions help to quench spiritual thirsts, but it’s how I pray that I can tell if my intimate relationship with Christ is alive and well. If I pray only when I need something, or my prayers are riddled with clichés, or I pray just because I’m expected to, then I know those embers need to be stoked. Do you remember the feeling you had when you first fell in love, that aglow feeling you experienced? I do. When you go to the Lord in prayer, do you approach Him with that same tenderness? Do you say words to Him that convey your deep love for Him? If not, we need to work on that.
Selwyn Hughes, Christian counselor and author, says when our passion for the Lord wanes, we compensate for the loss by throwing ourselves into
“ceaseless rounds of Christian activities but they are but ashes upon a rusty altar if we lack a blazing passionate love for Jesus Christ”. Hughes says he soaks himself in the Song of Songs, described in my Bible as
“the love between a bridegroom and his bride, to affirm the sanctity of marriage and a picture of God’s love for his people."
If you feel the need to fall in love again with the Savior and enliven your prayer life, start by going to YouTube to listen to Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris sing
“More Than Wonderful” and
“I’ve Just Seen Jesus”. That should do it. If it doesn’t, call me.
Won’t you join me in praying for church family members:
The Baumgartners (Roger, Julie, Troy, Angela and family), Robert and Donna Beaty, Verl and Flo Beebe, Darwin Bennett, and Deb Bennett.
Blessings,
Carolyn Harner, Prayer Team Coordinator

Ways to Help Trinity Grow!

FINANCE UPDATE
Receipts for February picked up slightly over January, but are still short of the amount needed to meet expenses. The church’s annual property and liability insurance policy was paid in full during the month while the budgeted amount is spread throughout the year. Factoring in the Easterseals rental income, the YTD loss through February is $29,701. Looking at YTD actual vs. budget, most of the variances are explained by the
timing of the expenses, for expenses don’t spread evenly throughout the year like the budget.
In summary, expenses are not the issue. The stewardship campaign needs to be revisited and a focused effort placed on obtaining pledges from members who’ve pledged previously. Carolyn Linder has analyzed campaign progress and revealed that there are 23 giving units totaling $60,980 that have not fulfilled their pledge. An appeal to these 23 units will be made that could help improve the projected deficits.

TRINITY BUILDING COMMITTEE
|
The Building Committee has been advised by our architect that there have been two qualified contractors who responded to our issuance of the request for qualifications, and he is in the process of coordinating with them to meet with the committee.
We have also contracted with an engineering firm (Bechtol Engineering) to proceed with performing the geotechnical work necessary for finalizing the site plan.
Alex Ford, chair

Every week, we ask members to help us measure the health of the church in different ways.
"Salty Service" tickets (found in the pew) are used to count the number of persons serving
through church ministries to the community for a least one hour.
Yes, people serve others in many ways and this is still very important (Rotary, Guardian Ad Litem, hospital volunteers, etc.) But for our purpose of evaluating the health of the church, we are focusing on the outreach ministries and mission projects of our local church. Thank you for your assistance and support in this endeavor!
|
|
One of the best community outreach ministries that Trinity supports with money, manpower and time is the
Interfaith Kitchen. We have pledged to serve the homeless a dinner meal on the
3rd Tuesday of every month and must fulfill our obligation.
Melissa Fuller serves as this ministry program coordinator for our church and she has asked that
every small group sign-up for a specific date and agree to prepare and serve a meal. Please contact Melissa to inquire about the open dates and sign up today. Truly, you are serving as
the hands and feet of Jesus when you reach out and help this fragile (yet very grateful) population.

SCHOOL-CHURCH PARTNERSHIPS
I know our partnership with Citrus Grove is valued. I recently attended the
Poverty and Homelessness Conference at Stetson University, and all the churches which help their school in many different ways were listed in a special presentation they gave. I was happy to see
Trinity United Methodist Church listed!
I would be remiss if I didn’t address the national crisis in our public schools. Many changes need to be made and they’re not all instant. One thing we can do is become a mentor to a child who needs a friend. I know we have partnered with Citrus Grove, but they are fortunate enough to have the support of more than one church. High school and middle school students need mentors, too. Please consider sharing your time with one of them. You may be the only positive voice they hear. Thank you!
Leslie LaRue, School-Church Partnership Coordinator

The following article is reprinted from
What If? – a series of blogs written by Bishop Sandra Steiner Ball, West Virginia Conference, to encourage UM congregations to get actively involved in the life of a needy child, especially those affected by the opioid crisis.
Persons suffering from opioid addiction are not in control of their lives. Part of their day is spent seeking out opioids. Once the opioids have been acquired and taken, the rest of the day is spent enjoying the high… until it is time to start seeking the next dose. For the addict, this is a horrible way to live. For the sober adults who love the addicted person, it is a horrible way of life. But imagine the lives of the children of addicted persons.
These children are called
Drug Endangered Children
. They live all around us and they have no way of understanding what we would call a “normal life." Many of these children are born dependent on opioids because of their mother's addiction. The parents of Drug Endangered Children cannot properly care for their own offspring. The children have no one at home to help with or encourage schoolwork, proper hygiene, proper nutrition, or acceptable behavior. These children are exposed to the violence and unpredictability of the illegal drug world, and yet we expect them to succeed in school. We wonder why they do not come to our Sunday School, and we are shocked when they become addicted themselves.
In order to have a chance at a life that is not identical to their parent's life, the Drug Endangered Children in our neighborhoods need a loving and caring adult to mentor them. A loving adult who shows the child they are valuable and special. What would it cost us to spend time in our local schools, helping a Drug Endangered Child learn to read or accomplish their multiplication homework...an hour or two each week? Studies show that when a child gets behind in reading and/or mathematics, they are very likely to get discouraged with school and drop out. When a Drug Endangered Child drops out of school, they are much more likely to get involved with drugs than if they stayed in school. Studies also show that if a Drug Endangered Child has a loving, caring adult
from outside their family mentor them
, the child has a much greater chance at success in school and, in turn, success in life.
For more information on how you can mentor a Drug Endangered Child, contact us. We will put you in touch with a local elementary school counselor. Remember...it's not enough to open our church doors and wait for the children to come to us clean, well fed and well behaved. We must leave our Sanctuary and go find them!
Anita and John Campbell, Citrus Grove volunteers and mentors

SNEAKERS FOR KIDS
Since the fall of 2015, Trinity has been providing some of the neediest children at our church-school partner,
Citrus Grove Elementary, with new sneakers and socks. What a wonderful and much appreciated ministry this has become! Because of this special project,
every teacher and staff person is now aware of Trinity and this outreach program.
To date, we have purchased 272 pairs of sneakers and made 272 children and their families very happy! If you are not aware of how the project is coordinated, we work with the school's guidance counselor who gives us the names of the children in need of shoes. Then, working with the manager of Shoe Carnival in Orange City, we go over to the school and measure each child's foot to determine their exact size. Next, we shop at the store for every pair needed and buy two pairs of socks, as well.
During the first week of April, we will buy 46 pairs which will cost approximately $1500. Your contributions to our Easter offering will help pay for these sneakers, so please give generously! Please mark your check or envelope with "Shoes" so our counters will know your intentions.
Thank you, again, for your caring and generous heart for this outreach ministry!

CHILDREN & FAMILY MINISTRIES
|
This summer is going to be chock-full of fun learning opportunities for children and youth!
Vacation Bible School (VBS) will be held June 11-15. Children ages four to 11 are eligible to attend. Please reach out to your families, friends and neighbors to let them know of this ministry and to check our
website for more information. (Keep a lookout there for our VBS registration form.)
We will be using the Cokesbury curriculum
"Shipwrecked" which is about being shipwrecked on a deserted island. Children will learn how to "survive" by growing their own food, eating "hairy rambutan" and making
sour soursop! Each day at
Castaway Sing & Play, crews will share their
God Sightings and build a rescue raft. As the sail gets mended, kids will have a reminder of the way Jesus can rescue us all if we believe and trust in Him.
Next, a large group of children and youth (third grade to senior high age) hope to go to the Florida Conference "church camp" at
Warren Willis this June. The cost is $420 per child for a week of camp. We want to offer partial to full scholarships for every child, if possible. Part of the Easter offering will go toward these scholarships, so please give generously!
Finally, Trinity Youth (6th grade through 12th) will go on a mission trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, July 1-7. The cost will be $225 per child. We will be going with the youth from Community UMC in DeBary. Adult chaparones/volunteers are needed. Monies raised from the Easter Brunch, as well as other planned fundraising activities, will go toward this activity. If interested, please let me know.
Thank you for your constant love and support of our children, youth and their families. Happy Easter!
