pastor's page
It was while walking together on a road from Jerusalem to Emmaus that two followers of Jesus were conversing, wondering and searching for answers. Their friend and teacher, Jesus had just been cruelly put to death on a cross. Why and for what reason they could not comprehend. How had their world and society deteriorated to the point of killing the innocent? And now some of their friends had told them that they had seen a vision of angels who said that Jesus was alive. What were they to believe? Their thoughts and emotions raised issues of doubt and faith. With each step drawing them closer to Emmaus, a stranger came alongside them and listened to them talking. They shared their frustrations with life, their disappointments with God. And it was then that Jesus revealed himself to them,
giving meaning to his suffering, death and resurrection. Jesus interpreted to them the things about himself in all of scriptures, giving meaning to their wondering and searching. We as followers of Jesus are entering a time of Lent, a journey of 40 days in which we too hope that Jesus will come alongside us. And I suspect we, like those first followers want to find meaning for our lives. We too are searching for a place of well-being somewhere between our own doubts and faith. I invite you to take the first step on a walk during our 40 days of Lent, to let Jesus come alongside you to reveal his desire for your life. This walk with Jesus is a walk of dying to self, dying to destructive habits brought on by doubts and disappointments and rising to new life, a life of meaning, a life of wellbeing both spiritually and physically. Jesus comes alongside us to reveal a life filled with hope, which is Jesus’ desire for each of us. Thus, Lent is a time of dying and rising in Christ. With each step we take together during Lent, we will be dying and rising in Christ both on Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings. We will
3
be conversing and confessing our destructive habits that fill us with doubt and disappointments. We will be listening to Jesus’ desire for our Spiritual well-being which includes: physical well-being, social/interpersonal wellbeing, emotional well-being, intellectual well-being, vocational well-being, and financial well-being. During our walk we will be encouraged to find a place of Spiritual well-being. On Sundays we will learn from Jesus through sermons his desires for us. On Wednesday’s we will live out his desire through opportunities that will inspire us. On the weekend of March 5th- 6th you will be presented with a packet of information which will prepare you in taking the first step. On Ash Wednesday, March 9th together we begin our 40 steps to Emmaus. A team has been working hard to make our journey through Lent a very meaningful and life changing experience. Please take the time to read “The Wholeness Wheel” insert that is included in this Tidings and related articles about Lent. Then get ready to take the first of 40 steps to Emmaus.

food for thought….a note from your Associate Pastor
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. James 1: 2225
Although Martin Luther may have referred to the book of James as the “gospel of straw”, modern day Christians realize that it has a great deal to say to those who say they are followers of Jesus. It was written as a letter to the church at large during a time of persecution; a time when being church was not popular and could be downright dangerous. Please notice; I said being church, not doing or going to church. I am convinced that church is not about the building, the pastors, the programs or even the wonderful music. The church is the living, breathing body of Christ called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our world today. In other words, WE are the church; not just the pastors or staff, not just the council, not just those whom you see serving during worship, but all of us. Each and every person who calls themselves a follower of Jesus are to be about living out their faith in real and tangible ways; we hear the word and the word is meant to propel us into action. James says, that if we don’t, it’s like we really have no clue who we are. But we do know who we are and whose we are. We are reminded every time there is a baptism or a remembrance of baptism; we are
named and claimed by God and sealed with the mark of the cross, forever! We belong to God. We are claimed by a God who lifts us out of the despair of death and gives us the freedom of new life. If you have ever had a brush with death or know someone who has, you know that after that event, each and every day is special, to be cherished and fully lived out. It is no different once we grasp the fact that each and every day we have been given new life in Jesus and are called to live out those lives in Christ fully. If we are to carry out this fullness that God wants for us, we will have to engage our faith in such a way so that we are not just “hearers” of the word, but “doers.” We have been given this new life for the purpose of the kingdom. It’s true that we might be fine, upstanding people and not letting our light shine. But Jesus calls his followers to be bear bold witness to his presence in our life. However, this witness is not that of a bystander, but rather that of someone who seeks a deeper relationship with the master. This letter is an invitation into that relationship; an invitation to recognize who you are and whose you are in Christ and to act on that knowledge in a way that is visible to the world. It is an invitation to live out your new life in such a way that without saying a word, your faith is completely obvious to all around you. This is an invitation to step outside of your comfort zone and serve God’s people as the church, the hands and feet of the living Jesus. Like scripture says, the harvest is plentiful, but far too often, the harvesters are few. Many of your sisters and brothers have already answered the call to this new life. I just wanted to make certain that you knew; you’re invited! Serving with you,
Oh No, Shrove Tuesday Again?
Just because “Patch” doesn’t go for the pancakes, don’t let that stop you! We are heading into our Lent season with thoughts of “whole wellness”, mind, body, and soul. So let’s make a point of getting our “act together”. Use your Shrove Tuesday wisely, the Trinity Youth are hosting a Pancake Supper Tuesday, March 8 from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm in the Gathering Room. Come get the “fat” thoughts out of your system before we begin our 40 steps. Bring everyone in the family, Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and all the kids, pack up the car and come on in! The food will be great and the fellowship will be wonderful. See you here for pancakes and all the fixin’s.
Shrove Humor It was Shrove Tuesday and Mrs Thomas was making pancakes for her sons, Aaron 6, and Kelvin 8. As usual, the brothers began to argue over who should get the first pancake. Their mother saw a wonderful opportunity for a moral lesson. 'If Jesus were sitting at the table, He would say, "Let my brother have the first pancake".' Quick as a flash Kelvin turned to Aaron and said, 'Aaron, today you can be Jesus!'

The cantata is based on a classic American folk tale in which three young trees have big dreams for their future. They are surprised to learn that God’s loving plan for them is much greater than they imagined. The presentation will be in the sanctuary of Trinity Lutheran Church on Saturday evening March 5th at 5:00 pm, and on Sunday morning March 6th at 8:45 am.

just wondering...
Just wondering about Egypt.
Living Last Supper Art
What comes to mind when you think of Egypt? Probably it is the news of the past week – political unrest, protest, violence and a very uncertain future. But one could also think of the ancient pyramids at Giza just outside Cairo or the Egyptian Antiquities Museum --home to the remains of pharaohs, the Gold Mask of King Tut and other ancient treasures. I have been thinking about all of the Bible references to Egypt. There are over 600 of them, most of which are in the Old Testament. The first reference is Genesis 12:10— “Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to It was in Egypt at reside there as an alien.” So we learn the end of the that at the urging of God the great patriarch of our faith fled to Egypt plagues that with his wife Sarai (they weren’t Moses instituted Abraham and Sarah yet) to find food, a the first Passover new life and a promise. Genesis 37 tells the story of Joseph which today is being sold by his brothers and taken to fulfilled in our Egypt where he found great favor with celebration of his Egyptian master and eventually was made steward over all of Egypt. Holy Communion. Joseph, one of God’s great and wise leaders, remained in Egypt where he died (at the age of 110) and was buried - according to God’s promise given to Abraham. Moses was born in Egypt and soon was called by God to lead the chosen people who “groaned under Egyptian slavery.” Moses led them out of Egypt through persistence, courage and trust in God, surviving even the terrible plagues. It was in Egypt at the end of the plagues that Moses instituted the first Passover which today is fulfilled in our celebration of Holy Communion. The people escaped through the Red Sea to forty years of wilderness wandering before finally going into the Promised Land – although Moses was denied that joy. In Matthew’s gospel we hear, “Now after they (the wise men) had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said; Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” Hopefully we can see from these few references how important Egypt was, and I believe, is to a master plan for God’s people -- a plan that reveals God’s will for safety, abundant provision and freedom from tyranny. All of which seem threatened at this time. Just wondering if Hosni Mubarak is a modern pharaoh and if the people of Egypt and their allies can find a way to revisit biblical history and trust God’s plan for security and freedom. Pastor Kirk Havel, Ret., 2119 Middle Haven Dr., Gladwin, MI 48624; February 6, 2011
The art created by Kenneth Wyatt for the Living Last Supper is on display in the lobby by the coffee café. When you get a chance to walk past, take a moment to stop and look into the display case and read the current information on the disciple’s picture. Each week Lew Willertz has been changing these pictures to bring this art to our attention. Thank you Lew and Joan Willertz, and Anita Phillips for creating the beautiful display. Thank you Lew for your ministry that brings The Living Last Supper to our church each year. Don’t miss one of this year’s presentations on either April 20th or April 21st at 7:30 pm. We are blessed to have Lew’s attention and devotion to the ministry of the Living Last Supper.

XYZers* are invited to an evening of Wine and Cheese Tasting and Magic!
Trinity's adult handbell choir was formed in 1999 under the direction of Tim Hendrickson. Beginning with three octaves of bells purchased with generous memorial and gift donations, rehearsals began in September of that year, and the first presentation to the congregation, the hymn Holy, Holy, Holy, was rung in October. Rousing applause erupted upon the conclusion of their first effort as the ringers breathed a sigh of relief that they actually began and ended at the same time and that the congregation seemed to recognize the tune! Many of the initial ringers had never seen up close, let alone rung, a handbell until that first rehearsal. All the musical symbols of bellringing were new, and even though most ringers read music, the difficulty was to just play the right note at the right time. It was fun, it was challenging, and look how far the handbell choir has come, now offering music with five octaves of bells and seven octaves of chimes as well. Eventually choosing the name JuBELLation, and having celebrated its 10th anniversary a few months ago with a special worship service, the group looks forward to continual advancement in technique and meaningful presentations for Trinity's congregation.
summer of 2008, Dianne Schoenfeld Granstra became the current director of the handbell program. First rehearsals in 1999 were in the lower level of the church, but because of the difficulties in moving equipment up and down between floors, the current conference room upstairs became a bell room, and finally those two rooms exchanged places last year, and our bell room is still overflowing. But that's a good problem to have with so many dedicated ringers, bells and chimes to accommodate them. The entire program of bellringing has expanded to include the Rainbow Ringers (the little kids), High Chimes Choir (elementary school group), Mid -High Bell Choir (6th thru 12th graders), and Joyful Noise beginning choir. The Singing Bells, a smaller ensemble of handbells, offers musical presentations occasionally in worship, at nursing homes and senior residences, as well as other private parties or organizations.
Just think, Trinity did not have a handbell choir for 56 years! And now look and listen to the wonderful musical and worshipful expression of these outstanding ringers. Thanks to all of them and to all others who have Following the original director, Tim supported their musical efforts, Hendrickson, Dave Winegardner especially patient and helpful spouses stepped in to direct the choir for four and parents and friends. years, Roberta Houston directed another group, and beginning in the Anita Phillips

youth calendar
February was a very busy month! All of the youth enjoyed a momentary slow down with two snow days in a row early this month! I know it gave me a chance to catch my breath! We had fun bowling and going to the Rock and Worship Roadshow. As the year goes on, we are really building relationships and learning to work together as a team. I can see a nice sense of community forming where it once was not as prevalent. March is bringing another very busy month our way! We are looking forward to our last winter retreat at Springhill for Trinity Teens and the Spring Break Mission Trip to Grand Rapids and Chicago for Sr. LYO. I am even more excited that summer is creeping closer! We have over 20 Trinity Teens signed up to go to Confirmation Camp at Stony Lake this summer--an increase from last year! We also have over 30 Sr LYO signed up to go on our mission trip to Middletown, Ohio mid-July! It is exciting to see the life in our youth here at Trinity. They are able to say that even though it is still a ways until summer, their faith life is important and they will block off weeks of time to spend in fellowship and service with one another! We cannot thank the Trinity family enough for all of the support that they have given the youth!
Don't Forget! Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper! This is a dinner that will be served by the youth (youth this is a chance to earn a little money for your youth account!) on Shrove Tuesday. Cost will be a free will donation. Dinner will run from 5-7:30. We hope to see you all there, this is a GREAT opportunity to support our youth and get your fill of milk and eggs before Lent! Any questions, please contact Hilary at 631.0692 or trinitymidlandyouth@gmail.com.
