1 the Trinity Trumpet Welcome to Trinity Episcopal Church Bend, OR Trinity Hall 469 NW Wall St St. Helens Hall 231 NW Idaho Ave Services 8:00 AM Sunday Rite I or Rite II 9:15 AM Sunday Adult Forum in Brooks Hall 10:15 AM Sunday Rite II Coffee and Conversation follows in Brooks Hall 12 Noon Wednesday Rite II Parish Office Hours: 9-5 M-F ministry@trinitybend.org The weekday entrance for Trinity Hall is the west entrance on St. Helens Place. Please use this door so we are aware of your presence in the building. Thank you! Trumpet Articles trumpet@trinitybend.org January 2019 As we approach a New Year, I pause to consider the end of the old one. It s been a good year for us at Trinity in many ways. First of all, I offer a word of thanks to everyone who made our most recent celebrations of Advent and Christmas so festive. The liturgical celebrations starting with Lessons and Carols (and the low-key high tea ) and ending with our Christmas celebrations were enhanced by so many of you both in ways seen/heard and in less obvious ways. In early December, we had another wonderful celebration of St. Nicholas Day for the whole congregation. In late December (on Christmas Eve!), a few folks offered a bit of refreshment for the hard-working Choir. Efforts, big and small, that matter to all. I want to take special note of the efforts of the crew of teachers/leaders who weekly show up in the hopes of having children for Children s Chapel. They prepare a lesson or activity for children without knowing if they ll have any takers. We had nine kids here in one Sunday in December to sing a song in church. I was thrilled for us all: leaders and children! A word on our finances and more I also thank you all for the financial support you offer for the ongoing life and ministry of our community of faith. We expect that we ll end the year with a surplus. After many years of deficits, this would be the second year in a row to do so. And that s good. I thank you for the promises of financial support in 2019, as well. All gifts matter. So I thank you for yours. That said, the Vestry has adopted a budget for 2019 that includes a modest deficit. Our projections are for income to be about the same as in 2018, while some expenses will need to increase. There s a chance that something may change, but probably not. As a consequence, the Vestry did not consider items I would have liked, such as: salary increases; setting funds aside for future capital needs/improvements; support for theological education. We ll offer more information on all of this as well as other news related to this year s Annual Meeting during our weekly forums, meeting in Brooks Hall between the morning services each Sunday. Please join us. Join the conversation!! 1

Counting our blessings seems simple but do we do it often enough.take a pause, sit in quietness, look around, really take stock of who and what we are. Joan Wellman At our Vestry meetings, we always start with some reflection time before heading into business matters. It is an opportunity to take a deep breath, quiet our souls from a busy day, and care for one another. Vestry is teamwork with divergent opinions resulting in agreements because we are committed with our love for Trinity. December s meeting was spent looking at the budget for As in our own lives with insurance premiums rising, utility bills increasing, etc., the budget is held tight on expenses. Participation in Stewardship was constant reflecting in estimated income. The Finance Committee presented a detailed budget for the Vestry to approve. Hard work has been done by all to ensure Trinity is healthy and growing. At our annual meeting on January 27 th, lunch will be served at St. Helens Hall after the 10:15 a.m. service followed by the business required starting a new calendar year. Jim Allen, Jeannette Beeger, Julie Lear, and Donna Young will be retiring with our deepest appreciation for all they have brought to the Vestry over the past three years. The candidates to replace them will be confirmed by the Clerk of the Vestry and their biographies are provided for you on the following pages. Karen Hauswald, Junior Warden (my cohort), and I will also be stepping down to allow new ideas and energy in the warden positions. We are both grateful and thank you for your support these past years. Welcome to a New Year Many things are planned already in I encourage you to mark your personal calendars in advance with the events planned. If you haven t attended the free Second Sunday Cinema movie, come some time. Kake Huck has selected films that have great messages. Epiphany Potluck dinner is the 6th, Women s Potluck dinner is on the 24 th, Trinity Women s Retreat in March, Men s Breakfast at the end of each month are just a few to mention. I also encourage you to think about participating in one of our fine ministries that contribute to the life of our church. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year AND a welcome to you who have come in Joan 2

3 Amendment to the Parish Bylaws At this year s Annual Meeting, voting members of the congregation will be asked to approve two amendments to the parish bylaws. These bylaws were last amended at the Annual Meeting of The proposed changes do not actually establish any changes in the ongoing practices of the congregation. They do aim to bring the bylaws into agreement with current practices and canons of the Episcopal Church. Preview of the 2019 Annual Meeting On January 20 and 27, our weekly adult forum (meeting between the morning liturgies in Brooks Hall) will provide a preview of this year s Annual Meeting. The January 20 session will focus particularly on parish finances and the 2019 operating budget. As part of that presentation, we will review the reasons behind the proposed amendments. Text of the proposed amendments In the meantime and In accordance with our provisions for the amendment of our bylaws the text of these amendments is provided below.

The Vestry shall adopt a budget for the forthcoming year prior to the time of the yearly parish meeting. The budget, when adopted, shall be sufficient authority for payment of any sum appropriated by the budget and/ or of any amendments made to the budget.

4 Nominees for the 2019 Vestry As reported in the November issue of The Trinity Trumpet, the Vestry formed a Nominating Committee for the purpose of selecting nominees to fill four vacancies on our Vestry. Members of this year s committee are Jeannette Beeger, Chris Bell, Julie Lear, Karen Hauswald, and Jed Holdorph. In addition to notice in the monthly newsletter, they invited members of the congregation to offer suggestions by way of verbal and written announcements on Sunday mornings in November. As required by our parish bylaws, the committee provided a list of qualified nominees to the Vestry in December. Those nominees are Mark Williams, Greg Hedger, Bill Carrington, and Paula Pyron. Mark Williams Background Information My wife Kaitlin and I have been in Central Oregon for about 3 years this December after moving from Anchorage Alaska. We are expecting our first child - a boy, who is anticipated to arrive January I m originally from Eastern Idaho while my wife is from Northern Navada. I work for St. Charles as a family physician. We live and work in Redmond. We have been at Trinity for about 2 years. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity provides essential spiritual growth, a warm community, and cultural relevancy. The more traditional worship styles and challenging messages help my wife and I grow in our relationship with God. The community at Trinity is a place to come and feel welcomed while receiving the support and encouragement we need. Through Trinity we find opportunities to serve and meet the needs of our neighbors. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? I see the vestry as a way to serve and contribute to the community that has been so important for my family. By participating in the vestry I hope to foster the values that make Trinity a place to meet God and see His people in action. Greg Hedger Background Information I moved to Bend 3 years ago this December and immediately joined Trinity. I remarried two years ago and am devoted to my beautiful wife Diana and my three stepsons. I have a daughter (28) and son (32) in Phoenix and three grand-daughters (2,4,6 yrs old). I love the outdoors and am an amateur triathlete (2x Ironman finisher). I also love the arts and music. Professionally, I'm an environmental, health and safety professional providing health and safety management support to one of the largest environmental services companies in the United States. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity to me is my spiritual home. I was raised in the Episcopal Church in Phoenix, Arizona. The church and my faith has been a constant in my life. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? I decided that now was a good time to get more involved and "give back" to the church in terms of service to the church now that I'm settled into my new home here at Trinity. My parents have been such a great example of service to the church, even in their mid-eighties! I also just recently joined the snow-patrol team at Trinity as well. continued on following page 4

5 Nominees for the 2019 Vestry William (Bill) Carrington Background Information I was born in Cortland, N.Y., a small college town near Syracuse, and raised in the Presbyterian Church. I have two brothers, and the three of us have been involved in music most of our lives. IAt age 12 I was hired to play for early Sunday morning services for nurses from the local hospital. This began a lifetime career as an organist and later choirmaster. After college, I accepted a position as organist/choir master at St. Paul s Episcopal Church in Pomona, Ca. I later fell in love with one of my choir members, Linda, and we were married in We enjoyed 42 wonderful years together and had one son, Britten. In 2013 I retired and was honored by the Vestry of St. Mark s and Bishop Mary Glasspool with the honorary title of Director of Music and Organist Emeritus. The school honored me with a scholarship fund in my name. What does Trinity mean to me? In 2015 my wife passed after a long battle with cancer. My son and his family encouraged me to move to Bend to be near them, and, in the spring of 2017, I made the move. In June of that year I visited Trinity and, after receiving a warm welcome, I decided to make it my home parish. At Trinity I feel not only God s love, but the love of the church members for each other, the community, and the world at large. We are a very giving church. It s a church that meets many of my spiritual needs, and I am proud to be a part of it. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? The Episcopal churches that I have worked at have been very good to me and my family. They have provided us with steady income as well as much love and support. Now that I am retired and have lots of time for volunteer work, I would like the opportunity to use my knowledge, skills and experiences in working with the church and its vestries to give back. I am especially interested in helping us to become an even more welcoming community and encourage the development of more programs for young families. Paula Pyron Background Information I am a retired energy lawyer, having practiced for 35 years in Oklahoma and Oregon. I retired as an attorney in Oregon when we moved to Bend from Lake Oswego during the 2016 Snowpocalypse, which is also when we joined Trinity. I am happily married to David Childers for 28 years so far, with 27 of those in Oregon. We have six children between us, and now eight grandchildren. I like cooking, reading good books, gardening, travel and learning golf for fun. What does Trinity mean to me? Trinity provides me with a church home for this new phase of my life. Trinity gives me a place for grounding and understanding my faith in God and gives me a stronger sense of community in Bend. In addition to rounding out my personal attempts at some spiritual education, Trinity gives me some volunteer opportunities that I enjoy. I was raised Southern Baptist and chose to be an Episcopalian as a young adult. I wanted a church home in which I felt more comfortable and in which I wanted to raise my two daughters. What made you decide to sign up for the Vestry at this time? David and I are both cancer survivors, and having experienced God s grace with another major health scare this year after a major concussion, I had a lot of time to think about my priorities and what I do with my time, i.e., I had a lot of thinking time when I wasn t allowed to do anything else while I healed. I know that Trinity is a church community that I want to help sustain and grow. I am seeking to serve the vestry now as I want to prioritize some of my volunteer efforts here. 5

6 Epiphany Potluck Sunday, January 6th Julie Lear Epiphany falls on Sunday, January 6th this year so we are planning a potluck lunch in Brooks Hall following the 10:15 service. We will need 10 people to volunteer to bring a large pot of soup to share. We ask that the rest of you bring a salad or bread. These may be dropped off in the kitchen before the service. Remember as we celebrate the arrival of the Kings following the star, you will have a chance to draw out your own star with your word for the year and maybe share how your word from last year played a part in your life. We will have cake, of course, and maybe you will be the lucky winner of the dime, the baby or the thimble. Please contact Julie Lear, , if you would be willing to bring soup. Spiritual Companions Tuesday, January 8th Peggy Ziegler Spiritual Companions is a small group of people who meet together monthly to share how their personal life reflects their spiritual journey. We usually meet the first Tuesday of the month at 1:30 pm in the small chapel. Since the first Tuesday of January this year is January 1, 2019 we will meet on the second Tuesday, January 8th. This meeting is usually closed to new members to facilitate trust, but we are inviting anyone who might be interested to join us, either January 8th or February 5th to see if they would like to be part of the group. Questions: call Celine Burke or Peggy Ziegler, Marcus Borg Foundation Conversation Saturday, January 12th On Saturday, January 12, from 9:00-11:30 am, Marianne Borg and Bill Ellis will continue the conversation. This month they will explore MYSTICISM; why it might not only be important but imperative to reexamine and redefine it. At best mysticism has been considered an experience of union with ultimate reality. More pejoratively it has been considered esoteric, occult, supernatural, nebulous, fuzzy, privatized. Albeit a realm available to religious specialists, which excludes most of us. We want to unfetter the mystical experience from secret or hidden knowledge and bring it into the every day. Where we experience it. Come join in the conversation! All are welcome. This is a free event opportunity. ON MYSTICISM The Marcus J. Borg Foundation Continues the Conversation January 12, 9:00 11:30 St. Helens Hall FREE! ALL ARE WELCOME. 6

For more information, please contact Cris Craig at or Gail Webber at For the Retreat Choir, please contact Sue McWilliams at Condega Project: Donna Noyes Rick and Sandy Negus Let us tell you about our friend Donna Noyes. On November 24 th, at the age of 86, Donna passed away in her sleep. Donna was a world traveler. She used to comment that it was difficult to find a part of the world she had not already visited. Maybe this was why she gravitated toward our work in Nicaragua. Donna was an enthusiastic supporter of the Condega Project. Even though she was not a member of Trinity, she never missed a Condega Project meeting. Donna traveled with us to Condega on three separate occasions. She was an amazing traveling companion. She was diabetic, but never let this stop her. In her professional life Donna was a dietician. She knew how to take care of her dietary requirements, but when in Nicaragua she ate foods we avoided. On one trip she paid the price for her adventurist eating habits. She just thought this part of the price you paid for getting to know a different culture. Donna lived simply. Her own needs were modest. Rather than spend money on expensive houses, furniture or cars, she used her money to travel and generously support causes she believed in. Donna cared about the world she was so fortunate to travel in. Unlike some world travelers, she saw poverty and was moved to help. We have no idea how many programs she supported, but we do know she generously supported the Trinity Condega Project. She also did such things as finance the Heifer Project in Condega, purchase tires for the Condega fire trucks and buy protective equipment so the Condega firemen could remove killer bee nests. Donna Noyes was an amazing lady who had an impact on our lives. She greatly expanded our vision of the world. She taught us there are no limits to the human spirit if you will yourself to test your limits. We will never be able to keep up with Donna s example of how to live a good life, but we ll keep trying. Thanks for being part of our lives Donna. 9
