Tuesday Word for June 30, 2015
Worship: Sundays @ 8:15 am, 9:40 am, 11:00 am | Wednesdays @ 6:35 pm | Fridays @ 7:00 pm
Dear Friends,
I know many of you will be traveling over the 4th, but if you're in town on Sunday, July 5th, I hope you'll join me in worship, as I'll be sharing what I think is an important message in our series on "Myths and Half Truths;" my sermon title is this: "Not: 'America, love it or leave it,' But this: 'America, love it, and together, let's make it Better.'" And remember, ONE SERVICE this Sunday, July 5; it will be great for all of us to worship together, and Franny is providing pastries to go with the coffee and tea - all other Sundays in July we will have all three services as normal.
Good news: Dr. Owen Roberts, Superintendent of Alachua County Schools, has confirmed that he will be preaching at Trinity on Sunday, August 30. Mark your calendar and plan to be there for this important time for all of us.
Welcome Center update: The roofing structure is going up! The deadline for ordering your engraved brick has been extended to July 10, but order yours today - here...
Also, would one of you be willing to head up our Golf Cart Ministry? The ushers have been doing this, but their hands are full with ushering duties. Together, I would help you gather a team of drivers so that everyone would have time off; we just need someone to take the lead. It's such a really important Sunday morning ministry. Email me, please.
And the deadline for checking out the Trinity tour to Chile and Argentina is near as well - TONIGHT, Tuesday, Mr. James Ridgeway, CEO of Educational Opportunities (it was founded by his Father, the Rev. James Ridgeway, in Lakeland, primarily for taking people to the Holy Land, and has grown to an world wide travel company. James will be with us tonight - in room 211 - to answer all our questions about the South American Cruise, January 16 - 30. I hope you'll come check it out, and join Jan and me, along with lecturer extraordinaire, Bob Westin (and Christy too).
It's always great to hear of Trinity members being honored. This last week we saw Trinity youth honored: Morgan Giberti and Bryce Kovi honored by their Middle Schools for the Rotary's "Service Above Self" award, and also Sage Bachus for the Outstanding Math Award at Westwood Middle School (read more about Sage at the end of today's TW, in the "Family Matters" section. So proud of these and all our Trinity students.

A Word from Rev. Aaron
Rev. Aaron's blog
After being off-campus for most of the past three weeks, it will be good to back in the office. Thank you for your prayers while I have been away. It will also be good to be back preaching at the 6:35 service on Wednesday. Thank you so much to those who preached the past few weeks. Something special to note about this week's 6:35...my wife, Lenora, will be leading worship for John and Kimberly while they are gone for a summer getaway.
We continue this week with a video in our series "Summer of Shorts" to help illustrate the second key component in our covenant of membership at Trinity United Methodist church - "presence." While "presence" refers to more than participating in weekly worship (small groups, fellowship and service activities, etc., count too!), this brief video rightly points to the fact that our Sunday gatherings in God's presence are a privilege. Holy encounters while worshiping God in the presence of a faith community have the power to change our hearts and lives! What does worship mean to you?
Missions
Ted Grueser
The mission box for this Sunday celebrates our veterans on Independence weekend. The HONOR center, a 45 bed facility for men and women provides a place for veterans to stay as they transition from homelessness to independent living. Your donation will help with many recreational therapeutic activities including Bikes for Vets and Frets4vets.
Are you still looking for something to do this year that will allow you to make a difference in someone's life or even better a whole community? The Living Water Mission Trip to Guatemala September 19-26, 2015 still has spots available for YOU. The work is digging a water well and teaching water hygiene to the community but the joy is the fellowship with the team and the community and serving in a beautiful country. The trip cost is $2,000 and includes airfare, meals and accommodations. The trip is limited to 12 people, ages 14 and older. If you are interested in participating, or more information about trip specifics, please email Ted.
Find more opportunities to serve on the Missions page.
Faith Mission
Ward Simonton
This week at Faith Mission:
This is the final week for our outreach and petition drive to bring UF's Mobile Clinic to the NE 15th Street neighborhood on a weekly basis. The Mobile Clinic does a wonderful job providing primary care in various areas around Gainesville, and many families in the Faith Mission neighborhood would benefit from the health care services offered if it was easily accessible each week. Our outreach effort includes support from staff and residents in nearby apartment complexes, Rawlings Elementary leadership, and a nearby church.
Partnering with others to serve in the neighborhood is essential (and scriptural!) for Faith Mission to fulfill its purpose. These partnerships can take many forms - with residents, with nearby schools, with organizations, and with churches. The local mission team of Greenhouse Church is very active, and we're continuing discussions this week with them on ways we might partner in the NE 15th Street neighborhood.
Been wondering about volunteer opportunities at Faith Mission? I'm putting together a list of opportunities and ways to serve to post on Trinity's web site. This will be ready soon and we'll send a Trinity e-message to everyone to let you know how to access!

This Thursday the 2nd we are headed back the homeless coalition of St. Augustine to play with the kiddos that live there, and then a picnic on the beach. We will meet at the youth building to live at8:00am, and return for pick up by 4:00pm. All you need is a bathing suit, sunscreen, a towel, and $10 for the day. YOU DO NEED TO RSVP by this Sunday June 28th so we know how many we are bringing and let the homeless coalition know!

Family Matters
Sonlight and Trinity Youth member, Sage Bachus, is this year's recipient of the "Dorothy Cross Award," given to the outstanding math student at Westwood Middle School; it also comes with a check of $3,000! I'm so thrilled that our schools are doing this sort of thing for excellence in education. Here's the letter, which I share with the family's permission:
An anonymous benefactor established the Dorothy Cross Award in 1979 to honor his former Westwood math teacher. This award recognizes the most outstanding 8th grade Westwood student in mathematics.
I would like to tell you about this year's choice for the Dorothy Cross Award - Sage Bachus. I had the pleasure of teaching Sage last year when he was a seventh grader in my Algebra 1 Honors class. Sage is an excellent student with a gift for math, and maintained nearly perfect scores throughout the school year, many times surpassing 100%. Sage works above and beyond the requirements of the class, and is a role model for his peers.
Sage's name has been added to this large silver bowl kept in the trophy case here at Westwood, along with the 38 previous outstanding Westwood math students. And as requested by our benefactor, I am very pleased to present to Sage the following: his very own engraved silver bowl, a 2015 silver dollar medallion, and a very generous check for $3000. I am happy to present this year's Dorothy Cross Award to Sage Bachus.
Special Birthdays: Ann Salmon celebrates her 90th birthday on July 2.
New Arrivals: Congratulations to Crystal & Andrew Sutherland on the birth of Charles Hunter Sutherland, and to Irish & Marvin Celso on the birth of Jehiel Celso.
