Dear Members and Friends of Trinity U.M.C.:

The summer of 2015 is almost here. Summer brings with it a time of rest and re-laxation and reflection. I have shared with you that God longs to hear and to be heard through prayer. The ultimate purpose of prayer is to deepen and develop our relationship with a loving and holy God. Just today I read some profound words from Max Lucado that I think are deeply profound. I hope and pray they are as meaningful to you as they are to me.

Max Lucado writes; Imagine yourself in a dark room. It is daylight outside, but it is dark within. The windows are closed, the drapes are drawn, and the shutters are tight. The room yields no light. You fumble your way around the room, but pro-gress is slow and the path is painful. Stubbed toes, scraped knees, skinned shins: it is hard to walk in a dark room. Just as hard as it is to walk in a dark world. Many try and many are wounded as a result, tripping over their problems, bumping into one another in the shadows, walking into walls. No wonder the world is so full of pain. We are insecure because we cant see who we are. We are unsure because we dont know where we are going. But every so often a beam of light slices through the blackness. A curtain is drawn, a window is raised, and a shaft of light penetrates the darkness. What was dark is now bright, what was opaque is now clear. What was stale is now fresh.

What a difference. When the light comes in, peace comes in. Moments before, our steps were timid. Now there is sureness to our step, a confidence to move through the corridors of light opening one window after another. Why? Because once weve walked in the light, we dont want to walk in the darkness anymore. Amaz-ingly, this peace, this confidence began with the single gesture of opening win-dows.

What are these windows? The windows of prayer and praise. Praise opens the window of our hearts, preparing us to walk more closely with God. Prayer raises the window of our spirit, enabling us to listen more clearly to the Father. Choose to leave the windows closed and the curtains shut, and you choose to live in a cold dark world. Choose to open the windows of praise and prayer, and you will allow your Father to bring light and warmth into your world. So throw back the cur-tain and see His light. Open the window and hear His voice. Raise the glass and feel the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit. Allow your world to be warmed and illu-minated. As you open the windows of prayer and praise, remember this holy promise: I will open the windows of Heaven for you (Malachi 3:10).

Enough said. Keep the faith! Ill see you in Church on Sunday. Grace and Peace

Rev. George R. Patterson, MDiv. Senior Pastor

Food Safety Tips for a Safe and Healthy Summer Health Outreach Ministry

Dr. Dot Baker

Heres your annual food safety message about food prep, cooking, and eating.

Please Eat Safely This Summer

WASH Hands, Utensils, and Food Preparation Surfaces - Food safety begins with hand-washing even in outdoor settings. Use a water jug, soap, and paper towels. Use moist disposable towelettes to clean your hands. Keep all utensils and platters clean when prepar ing food.

PREPARE Fruits and Vegetables Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables - (including those with skins and r inds that are not eaten) under running tap water before packing them. Packaged fruits and vegetables labeled "ready-to-eat," "washed," or "triple washed" need not be washed. Rub firm-skin fruits and vegetables under running tap water or scrub with a clean vegetable brush as you rinse.

SAFE GRILLING Tips - Marinate foods in the refr igerator , not on the counter or outdoors. If some of the mar i-nade is to be used as a sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion separately before adding the raw meat, poultry, or seafood. Don't reuse marinade. Don't use the same platter and utensils that previously held raw meat or seafood to serve cooked meats and seafood. If you partially cook food in the microwave, oven, or stove to reduce grilling time, do so immediately before the food goes on the hot grill.

When it's time to cook the food, cook it thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food has reached an adequate internal temperature before serving. Beef, veal, and lamb steaks and roasts--145F for medium rare, 160F for medium, and 170F for well done. Ground pork and ground beef--160F. Ground poultry--165F. Poultry breasts--170F. Whole poultry (take measurement in the thigh)--180F. Fin fish--145F or until the flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork. Shrimp, lobster, and crabs--the meat should be pearly and opaque. Clams, oysters, and mussels--until the shells are open. Grilled food can be kept hot until served by moving it to the side of the grill rack, just away from the coals where it can overcook.

SERVE Food Safely - Keep cold foods COLD and hot foods HOT. Do not use a plate that previously held raw meat, poultry, or seafood for ANYTHING else unless the plate has first been washed in hot, soapy water. Hot food should be kept hot, at or above 140 F. Wrap well and place in an insulated container .

Foods like chicken salad and desserts in individual serving dishes can also be placed directly on ice or in a shallow con-tainer set in a deep pan filled with ice. Drain off water as ice melts and replace ice frequently. Don't let perishable food sit out.

MAKE Ice cream - Every year homemade ice cream made with raw eggs causes several outbreaks of Salmonella infection. Instead of raw eggs, substitute a pasteurized egg product, egg substitute, or pasteurized shell eggs to decrease this risk. You can also use a cooked egg base or prepare it without eggs. Even when using pasteurized products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture advise consumers to start with a cooked base for increased safety, especially if serving people at high r isk. Finally, ensure that the dairy ingredients such as milk and cream in homemade ice cream are pasteurized.

TRANSPORT Food - Keep COLD food COLD. Place cold food in a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs. Cold food should be held at or below 40F. Consider packing beverages in one cooler and perishable foods in another. Meat, poultry, and seafood may be packed while it is still frozen so that it stays colder longer. Be sure to keep raw meat, poul-try, and seafood securely wrapped so their juices do not contaminate cooked foods or raw foods such as fruits and vegetables. After washing fruits and vegetables, dry them with a clean cloth towel or paper towel before packing them. Keep the cooler in your air -conditioned car, rather than in a hot trunk. Limit the times the cooler is opened. DISCARD all perishable foods if there is no ice in the cooler or if the gel packs have thawed. If you have questions, please contact the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's (CFSAN) Outreach and Information Center at 1-888- 723-3366. Source: Food & Drug Administration - CFSAN

By Carolyn Lewis, RN

Heat-Related Illnesses - A healthy body temperature is maintained by the nervous system . As the body temperature increases, the body tries to maintain its normal temperature by transferring heat. Sweating and blood flow to the skin (thermoregulation) help us keep our bodies cool. A heat-related illness occurs when our bodies can no longer transfer enough heat to keep us cool. A high body temperature (hyperthermia) can develop rap-idly in extremely hot environments, such as when a child is left in a car in the summer heat. Hot temperatures can also build up in small spaces where the ventilation is poor, such as attics or boiler rooms. People working in these environments may quickly develop hyperthermia. High temperature caused by a fever is different from a high body temperature caused by a heat-related illness. A fever is the body's normal reaction to infection and other conditions, both minor and serious. Heat-related illnesses produce a high body temperature because the body cannot transfer heat effectively or because external heat gain is excessive. Heat-related illnesses include:

Heat rash (prickly heat), which occurs when the sweat ducts to the skin become blocked or swell, causing dis-comfort and itching.

Heat cramps, which occur in muscles after exercise because sweating causes the body to lose water, salt, and minerals (electrolytes).

Heat edema (swelling) in the legs and hands, which can occur when you sit or stand for a long time in a hot environment.

Heat tetany (hyperventilation and heat stress), which is usually caused by short periods of stress in a hot envi-ronment.

Heat syncope (fainting), which occurs from low blood pressure when heat causes the blood vessels to ex-pand (dilate) and body fluids move into the legs because of gravity.

Heat exhaustion (heat prostration), which generally develops when a person is working or exercising in hot weather and does not drink enough liquids to replace those lost liquids.

Heatstroke (sunstroke), which occurs when the body fails to regulate its own temperature and body tem-perature continues to rise, often to 105 F (40.6 C) or higher. Heatstroke is a medical emergency. Even with immediate treatment, it can be life-threatening or cause serious long-term problems.

Often, environmental and physical conditions can make it hard to stay cool. Heat-related illness is often caused or made worse by dehydration and fatigue. Exercising dur-ing hot weather, working outdoors, and overdressing for the environment increase your risk. Drinking alcohol also increases your risk of dehydration. Many medicines increase your risk of a heat-related ill-ness. Some medicines decrease the amount of blood pumped by the heart (cardiac output) and limit blood flow to the skin, so your body is less able to cool itself by sweating. Other medicines can alter your sense of thirst or increase your body's production of heat. If you take medi-cines regularly, ask your doctor for advice about hot-weather activity and your risk of getting a heat-related illness. Other things that may increase your risk of a heat-related illness include:

Age. Babies do not lose heat quickly and they do not sweat effectively. Older adults do not sweat easily and usually have other health conditions that affect their abil-ity to lose heat.

Obesity. People who are overweight have decreased blood flow to the skin, hold heat in because of the insulat-ing layer of fat tissue, and have a greater body mass to cool.

Heat waves. People who live in cities are especially vulnerable to illness during a heat wave because heat is trapped by tall buildings and air pollutants, especially if there is a high level of humidity.

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart failure, and cancer. These conditions change the way the body gets rid of heat. Travel to wilderness areas or foreign countries with high outdoor temperatures and humidity. When you go to a different climate, your body must get used to the differ-ences (acclimate) to keep your body temperature in a nor-mal range. Most heat-related illnesses can be prevented by keeping the body cool and by avoiding dehydration in hot envi-ronments. Home treatment is usually all that is needed to treat mild heat-related illnesses. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke need immediate medical treatment. Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor. This information is produced and provided by the Nation-

al Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic

Commencement is a Beginning.... by Gustavus Federated Church,

Gustavus, Ohio

It is of interest that the name given to graduation ceremonies is commencement. This word signifies not an ending, but the act of beginning. It refers to the beginning of the next phase of life, for which the educational process has prepared us. That new phase may be a full-time job, marriage, additional education or some combination of these, but whatever that next phase is, there is a real sense in which the end is also the beginning.

Coming this fall in the SanctuaryComing this fall in the SanctuaryComing this fall in the SanctuaryComing this fall in the Sanctuary WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY

Every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. beginning September 10

Join us every Wednesday night this year as we continue our study of the non-Pauline letters of the New Testament: James, 1 & 2 Peter and 1 & 2 & 3 John. This year we begin with the book written by Christs half-brother: James. At times this has been a controversial book: a book Martin Luther called an epistle of straw. But it is a fascinating journey of faith put into action. We then continue with the books written by Peter. Yes, Peter wrote two books of the Bible that prophetically describe and refute the atheistic theory of evolution that was developed 1900 years after the book was writ-ten. The year will conclude with the three epistles written by John.

ASK THE REV

Q. Is God really mindful of every bird that falls as implied by Matthew 10:29?

This verse shows a loving God that is concerned about every aspect of his creation. It also shows that he is involved in His creation and wants us to be as well. The following article is by Dr. Maury Robertson who has the best on-line Biblical Greek class available. Im taking this class (its just $8.00 a month and well worth every penny). In addition to the classes, he gives very thoughtful articles. Checkout the class at http://greekforeveryone.com/ and check out his most recent article on this very verse. My wife is pretty sure I am going to contaminate her with horrible parasites. Everywhere I drive I keep an eye out for freshly splattered birds by the side of the road. When I spot one I screech to a halt, back up, turn on the emergency lights and climb from the car to investigate, usually waving off a crowd of turkey vultures as I approach. I consider it my duty to say a few words over the dearly departed. Then, as a memorial, (and this is the part Julie hates) I pull a few feathers to take home and put in the pages of whatever book I happen to be reading. One day I hope to have a fully feathered li-brary, or as Julie would claim, a fully parasitic library.

I realize this is odd behavior, but in my defense, let me make it clear that I am under no illusion that nature is not cruel. I understand that almost one hundred percent of her victims are buried in the tomb of the unknown. But thanks to me, not all of them are. I keep a feather for the same reason children keep some token of their parents. It's a reminder that life is precious beyond all logic, that nothing is ever just road kill.

Julie may be right. One day I may infect us both out with some dread disease picked up in the fulfillment of my self im-posed duties as undertaker. But I would rather die of a parasite than feel like one. What are we anyway? Billions of leeches sucking away at each other? Does it really matter whether we live or die? One of the best things Jesus ever said was that God notices it every time a sparrow falls. That's a lot of noticing. And it's why it doesn't seem out of line for me to stop and honor the few that fall along my way. Dr. Maury Robertson http://greekforeveryone.com

Ask the Rev is a Trumpet newsletter feature where Rev. DeFino will answer your questions on the Bible, doctr ine, or religious beliefs and events. Send or call your questions into the church office, and they will be answered in future issues. Have a question? Ask the Rev!!!

Arent U Bring any food Glad you want: U canned, boxed Support or packaged! Trinity!

JUNEJUNEJUNEJUNE

READY TO EAT MEAT - Canned ham, Spam, beef stew, chili, pork & beans, spaghetti & meatballs, Vienna sausage, corned beef, etc.

The food themes for the Lazarus Food Pantry in the next three months are as follows: June: Ready-to-eat meat such as canned ham, Spam, beef stew, chili, pork and beans, spaghetti and meatballs, Vienna sausage, corned beef, etc.; July: Ready-to-eat snack items such as granola bars, crackers, fruits, pudding, and juice boxes; August: "Whatever" you would like to donate that is canned, boxed, or packaged. Some suggested items are cereal, pasta and sauce, peanut butter and jelly, tuna and chicken helper, canned soups, vegetables and fruits, and ready to eat meat and snack items.

As always, the Food Pantry greatly appreciates any donated food items. There is a continuing need for large diapers: sizes 3, 4, and 6, as well as mens and womens personal hygiene items. They also have a need for the plastic grocery store bags that are used to line the brown paper bags before packing with the food items. The blue Wal-Mart plastic bags seem to work especially well, but any plastic grocery bags would be greatly appreciated. During the summer worship schedule, we will be collecting food and non-food items at the 9:00 a.m. Riverwalk Service, as well as in the back of the church sanctuary at the 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services. Trinity has reached 66, 775 food items since the beginning of this program in 2005. Thank you again for your support!

In support of Trinity's faith-based partnership with Choices Academy, the Lazarus Food Pantry agreed to supply bags of groceries to needy students to sustain them over weekends during the month of May, i.e. the remainder of the school year. (There's hope that the Maryland Food Bank will provide for these students next school year.) So far 31 bags have been donated to at-risk Choices students, and the feedback from students, their families, and Choices staff has been very positive.

The collection of #10 Cans of vegetables, tomato sauce, etc. for Halo and the Christian Shelter is continuing. In May the cans were donated to the Christian Shelter, and in June it will be Halo's turn. Thanks for supporting this worthy project!

As part of its continuing commitment to Salisbury Urban Ministries, on May 9, a team of Trinity volunteers headed by Jennifer Doyle served warm meals to 120 needy, hungry, and very grateful diners at Grace United Methodist Church. Sharing food and fellowship on a beautiful Saturday morning, .what a great a way to start the weekend! Our next day to serve is Saturday, October 3.

Norm and Lorna Lyster and their team will continue to serve hot meals to the poor and hungry at the Joseph House soup kitchen on the third Wednesday of every month during the summer months.

Thank you again for your generosity and faithful support of Trinity's diverse mission projects.

Thank you! I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the congregation for the many cards, notes, and calls I re-ceived while in the hospital and nursing home after my surgery and also to the church staff and pastors for their visits. Thank you, Lewis Carman

Words cant describe how grateful we are to be part of such a warm, caring church family. The loving support and the many acts of kindness our family received after the loss of Eleanor will never be forgotten. The many cards, phone calls, and visits expressing sympathy during this time of need helped in lifting our spirits. She lived a long, happy, and adventurous life, and we will miss her dearly. We will live and begin to heal by recalling the many wonderful and fond memories we have of Ellie. It is comforting knowing our family at Trinity cares and is praying and thinking of us during our grieving. Many thanks again for your gentle and kind support. In Christian love, Sara Belle and Sheldon Larmore Bob Hoekstra

I send my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for the cards and visits before, during, and after my surgery. Trinity Christians share their love and walk the walk. Be proud! I send my love back to each of you. God is good! Thanks to all, Beth Henderson

Thank you for awarding me one of the scholarships this year. It was a great help financially, and I was hon-ored to receive the award. Thank you for believing in me and my future academically. Sincerely, Matthew Baysinger

Thank you for all of the cards and prayers from Trinity members while my mother, Arline Wiley, lived at Atria and for the visits from Reverends Patterson, Vroman, and DeFino, especially towards the end of her blessed life. Your kind expressions of sympathy meant a great deal to all of us. Claudia Young and family

I would like to thank everyone for their love, kindness, prayers, cards, letters, and the delicious cake I received during the loss of my brother. What a great comfort it is to know that so many care about you. Christine and I love all of you. Thank you. Joe Bernstein
