Preschool Yard Sale
ell, have you heard enough about the 2014 yard sale to benefit the
Trinity Preschool. Ok. Now it is time to start preparing for the 2015 sale.
As you begin your spring cleaning or just cleaning out a closet to fit those
Christmas gifts in, remember that we are looking for your “good stuff” that
someone is just waiting to buy. We will take most anything of value but
storage space is at a premium. If you can hold it for us, Thank You! If
not, let us know and we will find a storage space for your contributions.
Our sincere thanks go to the Leavertons who started our 2015 collection
as they were getting ready for their move to Colorado.

2015: The 50 Anniversary of the Founding of Trinity Presbyterian Church
Proclaim Jubilee!
“You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years
shall give you forty-nine years. Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month.
On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. And you shall consecrate the
fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when
each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan. That fiftieth year shall be a
jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the
undressed vines. For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.”
Leviticus 25:8-12
O
ur Church Historian, Marian Lowry, has been busily gathering, organizing and cataloguing the accumulated
experiences and memories of the past fifty years at Trinity Church. One of the documents she has uncovered notes that:
“Trinity first worshiped in the Girl Scout cabin in Edwards Park, February 21, 1965 and was chartered August 29, 1965 with
seventy members. Asheville Presbytery purchased Trinity a house, at 1403 W. 5 th Ave., our worship home from May 1965
until the first unit was completed December 1969. The education wing was added in 1981, with the sanctuary, offices and
atrium added in 1996.”
Throughout the coming year we will be remembering and celebrating our beginnings, our history, and our shared mission
in the service of our Savior. We will be discovering together what “Jubilee” means for us in this age. Let me invite you to
use this time to reflect on all that the Church has enabled YOU to experience as we prepare to move into the next fifty
years!
Shalom,
Mark
O
Note from the Associate Pastor
ne damp Sunday afternoon last month, at the Tarheel Lanes Bowling Alley, I was reminded of one of the things I
really love about Trinity Presbyterian Church.
The Trinity Youth had planned a bowling outing after church. There’s nothing especially earth-shaking about that; church
youth groups go bowling all the time. But on that Sunday afternoon last month, we had one of the odder-looking youth
groups you’d ever come across. There was a dad, a couple of uncles, and a big brother who came along with family
members. There was another adult who joined us just because she thought it sounded like a fun way to spend the
afternoon. There was my family—Carol, Olin, and Dean—none of whom fall into the typical youth group age range.
Oh, and there were also some actual Trinity youth!
If an innocent bystander had happened to come along and see us all there at the bowling alley, he or she might have
thought, “Gee, that’s a pretty motley crew.”
But to me, it looked a lot like the kingdom of God, in all its motley glory.
Thanks for a great afternoon, Trinity “youth”!
Peace,
Dwight

Session Notes
1
On January 13 the Session held its regular
monthly meeting. The devotion was
brought by Mel Bringle who will be
rotating off of Session. As you might
expect, she involved the Session members
in singing and signing a song of praise.
Ben Moore notified the Session of two
endowment gifts that had been received
from the estate of Geraldine Waters, the
mother of Bev Luzadder. The Session
voted to receive these gifts for the
purposes to which they had been
designated.
Tom Karvonen brought an amended
budget proposal to Session, making
modest changes to the previously
approved budget. The Session approved
this amended budget for 2015.
The Session acknowledged new church
members Dolly Owens and Angela
Sides, who joined Trinity since the last
regular meeting. The Session also noted
the deaths of Ruth Samson and Jane
Lovelace.
In consultation with the Personnel Ministry,
he has worked to develop a set of goals for
the year based on some of the Ministry
Initiatives of Trinity in support of the recent
Visioning Process.
The Session continued to consider portions
of Trinity’s Visioning Process by discussing
Mission Initiative #5 - We shall expand our
offerings for faith conversation and
fellowship. Items discussed included the
possible initiation of a small group program
for study, prayer and fellowship. Fellowship Ministry is looking at ways to implement this type of program. Also New
Member Ministry is developing new ways
for us to relate to visitors, and ways to
enhance our web site.
Mark Stanley reported that he is
working on finding a better way of
communicating with the church using
email. Mass communication via email can
be a very cumbersome process, so
alternative ways of accomplishing this are
being explored. Mark also wants to make
improvements to the way we maintain the
church calendar so that it will be more useful for everyone.

his is another “shout out” to each of you
who contribute to Trinity Preschool in so many
ways. We have been blessed to have a caring
congregation who support us. We are grateful for
all that you do to continue to make this preschool a
reality.
We are enjoying the very beautiful picture of Jesus
blessing the little children. This was given to us by
Joe Gernoske. Many of you saw this piece of art
in his office. It is a constant reminder to share God’s
love to these precious children. He also gave us the
very large stuffed dog that he kept in his office.
“Joe” will be our mascot and will spend time in each

Wednesday Night Live
Wednesday, February 4
Dinner at 5:30 / Presentation at 6:30
Subject: “More Light Presbyterians:” Embracing a More Inclusive Church
Presenter and Discussion Leader: Dr. Mary Louise (Mel) Bringle
W
hen Trinity Presbyterian was chartered fifty years ago, the membership declared that they wanted Trinity
to be “open to all people.” In keeping with this decision and with our more recent Visioning commitments,
Trinity’s Session has been considering options for making this policy more public. “More Light Presbyterians” is
a coalition of congregations and individuals in the Presbyterian Church (USA) committed to increasing the
involvement of all people in the church, regardless of sexuality.
John Robinson, spiritual leader of the pilgrims who founded the Plymouth colony died in England before he
could join his followers in the New World. In 1646, governor Edward Winslow recalled Robinson's farewell to the
pilgrims as they set sail on the Mayflower. Robinson had urged the pilgrims to be open to new religious teaching, and:
“...if God should reveal anything to us by any other instrument of his, to be as ready to
receive it, as ever we were to receive any truth by his Ministry. For he was very confident the Lord had more truth and light yet to break forth out of his holy Word.”
All members and friends of Trinity are invited and encouraged to come and be a part of this presentation and
conversation about how to best share the “light of Christ” in our community.

Trauma Healing
T
rinity’s Global Mission Ministry has been exploring various ways in which our church can be engaged with critical
needs in the world. Through this process we learned about how trauma is impacting people in various parts of the world.
This led us to a program called “Trauma Healing Workshops.” This program began in the 1990s in Africa as a response to
the many people who were suffering from trauma as a result of the wars there. Trauma may leave physical scars, but
much of the trauma is psychological. The program was begun by people who were members of SIL and Wycliffe Bible
Translators who saw the need for a Bible based approach to trauma healing. They wrote a book, “Healing the Wounds of
Trauma: How the Church Can Help.” In order to expand this work throughout the world, in 2010 the American Bible
Society agreed to take responsibility for the program.
The Presbyterian Church USA, through its World Mission efforts, participates in presenting Trauma Healing Workshops in
various countries. In 2014 Trinity Presbyterian helped to fund a Presbyterian program in Sudan, a country that has been
wracked by civil war for a number of years.
In 2013, our Global Mission Ministry learned about the need for trauma healing in Peru among the indigenous Quechua
speaking population. As a result we funded the training of Rachel Yanac, a SIL/Wycliffe missionary, to come the US to
become a certified Trauma Healing Workshop leader. In 2015 we will be continuing to support the trauma healing
program in Peru. The trauma healing material has been translated into over 160 languages. Trinity will be making it
possible for the material to be translated into three additional languages, specifically three Quechua dialects. We will also
be helping to support the training of Quechua speaking workers as they bring trauma healing to their own people. To
accomplish this, Trinity provided $2,000 in January dedicated to this program.
By having a direct relationship with the people involved in bringing the Trauma Healing Workshops to Peru, we will be able
to remain aware of the progress being made there.

Hymn of the Month
In the Midst of New Dimensions (Glory to God #315)
nlike the musical selections of the most recent months,
our hymn of the month for February is actually a hymn.
January’s “Soon and Very Soon” was a gospel song, and
December’s “Awake! Awake, and Greet the New Morn,” a
carol. November’s “God, We Honor You” was a piece of
service music in a form known as a quodlibet (If you don’t
know this term, stay tuned until next month!). One of the
points of this variety of genres is to become more familiar
with the great diversity of musical resources available to us
in Glory to God.
To be even more precise, “In the Midst of New Dimensions”
is a hybrid hymn: in addition to regular stanzas, it also has a
refrain. The stanzas speak of a journey through testing
times toward a future in which hopes for peace will be
realized. Stanza 2 mentions “warring factions”; stanza 3, “a
world divided”; stanza 4, differences in gender, age, and
sexual "persuasion"; stanza 5, fears about the future of a
church struggling with controversial issues. An additional
stanza from the original hymn, which is generally not
included in hymnals, also mentions different races: black,
Asian, Indian, Hispanic, white The hymn’s opening stanza
asks the all-important question: who will lead us through our
wilderness wandering?
The refrain provides an answer. Alluding to key moments in
scripture, it reminds us that God Godself has promised to be
with us: as a rainbow (after the flood), and a pillar of fire
(during the Exodus). The refrain’s further image of God as
one who leads “where the eagles soar” echoes the Old
Testament reading for the 2nd Sunday in February: “those
who wait for the Lord will mount up with wings like
eagles” (Isaiah 40:31). All this pilgrimage imagery is
especially fitting for a month in which we celebrate Jesus’
journey with Peter, James, and John to the Mount of
Transfiguration (the 3rd Sunday in February), and our own
journey with Jesus in the wilderness as we begin (in the last
week of the month) to observe the season of Lent.
Both the words and music to this hymn were written by Rev.
Julian Rush, a United Methodist minister who served
churches in Dallas, Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs
for 17 years, until he came out as gay and the church he
was serving decided to stop paying his salary. In response,
a different church in the same state and denomination chose
to hire him as a way of showing solidarity with the gay
community and enacting their commitment to social justice.
Rush’s last ministerial position before retirement was that of
Executive Director for the Colorado AIDS Project. His
courage and creative artistry remind us of the contributions
made by many LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
transgender) artists and patrons in the history of Christianity:
among them, Michelangelo, who painted the Sistine chapel;
King James I, who commissioned the King James
translation of the Bible; Gerard Manley Hopkins, a leading
Victorian poet; and Katherine Lee Bates, author of the words
to “America, the Beautiful.” During Trinity’s “jubilee year,”
Rush calls us to think carefully and hopefully about our
commitment to God’s “wider dreams” of peace and justice,
and our willingness to recognize each person as “a love
song to be sung.”

Partnership Beyond Fuente de Vida
W
hile Trinity is in partnership with Fuente de Vida as
a church to church relationship we are also part of a
greater partnership. We are also part of the Presbytery
of Western NC’s partnership with the Presbyteries of Sur
Occidente (Sur) and Suchitepequez (Suchi). This article
is a brief update on one of the committee happenings
with in the presbytery partnership.
The Education Committee grew out of the past Scholarship Committee and an Educational Study Trip in
Guatemala in 2013. It was soon given the responsibility
of implementing Education Plans of Action that would
help improve the education of the students in the two
Guatemalan presbyteries with which we partnership.
Realizing the importance of reading in acquiring a sound
education the Education Committee is working with the
director of an already established program, “Libros para
Niños” to begin a pilot Mobile Classroom Library Program
in the school district of Santo Domingo, Suchi; where
Hickory First PC is in partnership with Iglesia Monte
Hebrón. Mary Jo Amani, director and trainer has been
hired by the committee and on November 25, 2014 a
meeting was held to explain the program and to observe
the enthusiasm and commitment of two of the directors of
the four schools and the several teachers who also
attended as well as the school’s condition and readiness
for the project. Training workshops will be held February
12th and 13th and again on February 26th and 27th.
Included workshop topics are:
• How to read books aloud
• How to encourage conversations around stories
• DEVELOP reading activities as based on the books
• How to care and keep books
• How to keep an inventory and develop a loan
scheme
• How to evaluate the project-how it is performing the
objectives and how to deal with problems that arise
The Guatemalan government requires a thirty-minute
reading period (but does not provide sufficient books) so
this project fits in perfectly with that curriculum item.
Bookcases will be built by each school (according to
given specifications) to hold the books that will travel from
classroom to classroom every day. There will be a
minimum of 325 quality children’s books in Spanish for
two bookcases + 75 books for a lending library, The
Mobile Classroom Library program has two components:
Read Aloud and Sustained Silent Reading. In Read
Aloud, teachers spend 15 – 30 minutes reading a story
and conversing about it. In SSR, children spend 15 – 30
minutes a day reading books quietly to themselves or
with a friend. First through Sixth Grade classrooms will
participate.
The basic principles of the project emphasize: reading for
pleasure, reading choice is of importance, there is no
grading, teacher participation is voluntary, books are not
separated by grade level, there must be a minimum of
three times a week reading sessions, preferably five
times a week, there is to be Read Aloud by teacher and
individual/paired reading by students.
Following implementation and evaluation of this first pilot
project a second project will begin in Sur Occidente
presbytery with continuing projects as funding allows.
The initial cost of a project is planned to be $5,000. The
average cost of each book is $15, which includes
shipping, and country taxes. However; the PWNC has set
up a program: Books in Your Honor (like the Reclaiming
Christmas program) that asks for a $10/book contribution
in exchange for a gift card.
For further information on the Mobile Classroom Library
Program please talk to Carole Ball.

TRINITY M ISSION STATEM ENT
Trinity is a family of faith called to make the Word known to all ages,
to grow in faith together, to minister to those in need, and to do all these things
with joy, love, and compassion in the name of Christ the Lord .
