1 T r i n i t y E c u m e n i c a l P a r i s h a t S m i t h M o u n t a i n L a k e Ecumeni News An ecumenical parish of Episcopalians, Lutherans, and Presbyterians Volume 44, Issue 93, September 2016 News from Pastor Philip Bouknight Welcoming Bea: Pastor Bea and her family joined our family on September 26 th. There are a number of things that you can do to help them get to know you better. The most important things you can do is wear your nametags! We have over 800 members and that is a lot of names to learn. Wear your name tags for worship and for special events. Secondly, help your neighborhood organize a gathering that will allow Bea and her family to meet you in larger groups. Christmas may seem the obvious choice, but they cannot possibly meet all of our neighborhood groups at that time. Finally, Trinity conducts a lot of ministry communication via . If you are sending an out to your group or ministry, please bcc the pastors. Often we are overwhelmed with internal conversation that does not require our input. We LOVE the information, but we need help managing the traffic. Baptismal Font: At our last Baptism, a family decided to change their normal seat in the sanctuary so that they could have a better view of this beautiful moment in worship. At our 25 th anniversary celebration we moved the font down so that we could reclaim the promises we have made at our Baptism. Baptism is one of the grounding images of our theology. It is because of this font that we are one with God and one with each other. It is because of this font that we have access to the holy supper and Christ s wedding feast in heaven. It is because of this font that we are sent into the world, drawing others to the waters of hope and salvation. But on most Sunday s we cannot even see the visible symbol of our amazing grace. It is tucked away in the corner to be pulled out occasionally. The worship and music team has discussed the placement of our font. We have decided to have it front and center every Sunday. not just every once in a while. When we have a funeral, the sign of our salvation will be more visible. When we have a wedding, the sign of our wedding feast with Christ will be more visible. When we worship, the sacrament around which we gather will be more visible. Water will be in the font every Sunday. For those accustomed to dipping their fingers into the font making the sign of the cross before or after holy communion, you may now do that. With any change to the worship space, we realize there may be some level of anxiety. Please do not hesitate to inquire of the Worship and Music team or talk to Pastor Philip if you have questions. Aaron Garber: October 31 st marks the fifth year that Aaron Garber has served us as our Director of Music Ministry. What a tremendous gift he is to our community and what a difference he has made in our worship. We give thanks to God for leading Aaron to serve among us. Fellowship Hall Podium: Ted Brossoie has made a beautiful new podium for us out of Red Oak. Thank you Ted for your thoughtful artistry, your devotion to ministry and for uniting your avocation to your service of God. Please stop by the hall and admire his work. October Events: Mark your calendars. Please join us for the Blessing of the Animals service on Sunday October 2 nd at 3PM. This year a pet parade will follow our worship service! Please invite friends and neighbors. We still need cars and candy for Trunk or Treat. (Oct. 31 st from 6-7:30PM) Please contact Sharon Sicher if you wish to sponsor a car. Thank you for your generosity: In October we were blessed to fully fund our new Organ - $124,5000. We raised over $12,000 to support Lake Christian Ministries through the Jim Cameron Memorial Walk with over 40 people walking. We collected children s socks and underwear for Moneta and Dudley Elementary schools and we raised an additional $605 to send to the schools to be used at their discretion for these and similar needs. What a tremendous response! At the same time, we are consistently falling behind in our monthly giving towards our budget for mission and ministry. It is essential that we end this year fiscally strong. Next year s budget will include funding for a full complement of staff. Please prayerfully consider your response to requests that are made from the parish to that end. Thank you all for the many ways that you bless this community with your generosity.

2 Tami Akin, Parish Nurse Radiological Tests and Their Uses Chest X-ray are a type of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light (MedlinePlus, 2014). Bones, metals, and contrast media will show up as white. Structures containing air will be black, and muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray (MedlinePlus 2014). Chest x-rays can detect pneumonia, pneumothorax (air in lung), aneurysms (bleeds), cancer, fractures, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It can detect the presence of calcium in your heart or blood vessels. Its presence may indicate damage to your heart valves, coronary arteries, heart muscle or the protective sac that surrounds the heart. Calcium deposits in your lungs are most often from an old, resolved infection (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Changes in the size and shape of your heart may indicate heart failure, fluid around the heart (pericardial effusion) or heart valve problems (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan: A computed tomography (CT) scan is a noninvasive diagnostic test that uses x-rays and a computer to create images of the body (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). A CT scan is similar to an x-ray, but is more definitive, because the scan creates multiple narrow slices of the area being scanned, which can be viewed as a cross section. It can be viewed as two dimensional or put back together as 3 dimensional. It views bone, blood and soft tissues (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). It is used to detect: brain damage after a head injury, brain tumors, ruptured or leaking aneurysms, hydrocephalus, or enlarged brain cavities, spinal stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal canal, herniated discs, blood clots or bleeding associated with stroke (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). CT scan can be given with and without contrast. If contrast is used, special precautions need to be taken if there is an allergy to iodine or seafood. Also contrast is not recommended if there is a kidney insufficiency, because the contrast dye can be damaging to the kidneys. For the test, one s body is placed in a large enclosed scanner. CT Angiography: Like a CT scan, but a dye is injected, which helps to visualize your arteries and veins (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). Magnetic Resource Imaging (MRI) is a test that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body (WebMD,2014). It is used to find problems such as tumors, bleeding, injury, blood vessel diseases, or infection. MRI also may be done to provide more information about a problem seen on an X- ray, ultrasound scan, or CT scan. Contrast material may be used during MRI to show abnormal tissue more clearly (WebMD, 2014). Contraindications include Cochlear ear implants, some types of clips used for brain aneurysms, some types of metal coils placed in blood vessels nearly all cardiac defibrillators, and pacemakers (Radiological Society of Northern America, (RSNA), 2016). Inform the technician if any of the following items are applicable, as this can potential put one at risk for the exam artificial heart valves, implanted drug infusion ports, artificial limbs or metallic joint prostheses, implanted nerve stimulators, metal pins, screws, plates, stents or surgical staples (RSNA, 2016). Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan: is a type of nuclear imaging test that shows the metabolic activities (energy usage) of your brain. While X-ray, CT, and MRI scans look at the anatomy of your brain, a PET scan can give your doctor information about how your brain is working (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). It uses CT and radiative tracers. The physician may use different types of tracers depending on what he/she is looking for. After the tracers are injected into the body, the individual is put in a scanner. The tracer is what allows doctors to see how your body tissues absorb and use different chemicals in real time (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). The PET Scan is used to measure a range of activity including blood flow, blood volume, oxygen usage, tissue ph (acidity),glucose (sugar) metabolism, and drug activity (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). The reason why they use a PET Scan to follow up on cancer patients, is because they might use a radiolabeled glucose (FDG) and watch how it is metabolized by the tumor (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). Since tumor cells are fast growing and thrive on sugar, it allows the physician to determine how fast or slow growing a tumor may be, and then the doctor can look at previous PET Scans to see if the tumors have shrunk. Another common use for PET is for presurgical evaluation of medically uncontrolled seizures (Fig. 1). By detecting metabolic changes in the brain, the surgeon can pinpoint the nonfunctioning area of the brain causing seizures (Mayfield Bone and Spine, 2016). Ecumeni News Page 2

Committees and Groups Hunger/Poverty Action Group On Sunday, October 23, we will be celebrating Bread for the World Sunday. Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. For more than 40 years, Bread members have helped win bipartisan support for measures that address the causes of hunger. Each year, thousands of churches from many different faith traditions take part in the Offering of Letters, which become our voice supporting the needs of those who live in poverty. This year the focus is on helping mothers and children Survive and Thrive. The personalized letters we send will encourage our lawmakers to support legislation that will save the lives of mothers and children in countries that struggle with hunger and disease. Giving voice to our faith is one way to live out Christ s concern for the poor, who are often unable to speak for themselves. Working together, we can urge Congress to support measures that help mothers and children get the nutrition they need to be healthy and live active lives. Luther Mauney Strong Seniors We will be offering a "Stronger Seniors" exercise class.

4 Committees and Groups Council s Corner The highlights from the August 22nd Council meeting are provided as general information to the congregation: The Council received an update from B&G Chair Mark Watkins on handicap accessibility on door #5 or #6 and its facing interior door. Progress and problems were discussed. A second estimate had been received but subsequently one source withdrew their bid over an issue with the security system interface. The scope of this issue is not known, but installation of auto door hardware remains feasible for The Council voted to approve up to $8,500 for the installation. In spite of rain showers, the planned repaving and repairs to the parking lots, followed by re-striping of parking spaces were completed nearly on-schedule in August. B&G plans to seal coat the surfaces in 2017 or 2018, and have periodic crack sealing done as needed. The objective is to have no required major maintenance of the parking lots for at least 10 years. Council member Geoff Orth reported on TEP involvement in local gleaning efforts. Their most recent activity was picking apples at Gross Orchard. That effort brought TEP s gleaning total to well over 21,000 lbs. The produce from gleaning goes to LCM and Agape organizations. Pastor Philip reported that Pastor Bea was approved by the Presbytery of the Peaks on August 20th. Bea will begin her ministry here on September 26th and be formally installed on October 25th. Trinity Treasures Trinity Treasures would not be possible without the many donated hours of work, generous donations and support provided by everyone at TEP-Thank You. Please keep in mind that we accept donations all year long and are looking forward to working with everyone to make 2017 Trinity Treasures another successful effort that benefits local and worldwide charities. Tom Robbins Trinity Preschool Tidbits The school year is off and running, with its largest enrollment ever, having 34 out of a licensing maximum of 36 children registered! Children and teachers alike are having a great time. Trinity Preschool thanks Mark Watkins and his loyal Mules for the blue walls in the hall and the new bulletin boards hanging upon them, as well as for adding the additional coat hooks that are now needed. The school is also grateful for the newly painted playground fence. A big thank you as well to Bill Taylor and all the volunteers for the new wood carpet on the playground. That is a hard, but necessary, job. Please mark October 16 on your calendars. That is the day of the Blessing of the Preschool at the 10:30 service, when you are given the opportunity to see many of the preschool children. Following the service will be the annual Spaghetti Dinner. You are invited to give donations at the dinner, all of which will be targeted for a permanent shelter for the playground. Several preschool families attended the Family Bash at the Boardwalk, and were so appreciative of the opportunity to meet other families and to enjoy the activities and food at the event. Thank you to Sharon Sicher for inviting the preschool families to participate. The preschool also thanks Sharon for hosting a first morning coffee the first two days of school. She and Dot Tipton provided coffee, quiche, and goodies for the parents in the beautiful youth area, once they dropped off their children in their classrooms. The parents who attended loved that welcome with time to share, or commiserate, with other preschool parents. Please don t forget to sign up for the Kroger Rewards program, with Trinity Preschool as your designee! Trinity s number is All are required to re-enroll each year. Your participation has helped to provide Trinity Preschool with approximately $4000 in the course of a year. These funds help to keep tuition low while providing a high quality early childhood education. Ecumeni News Page 4

5 Committees and Groups Scrappy Quilters Scrappy Quilters has resumed sewing after an August break. We meet the second Tuesday of the month upstairs at 10 am followed by lunch. We make charity quilts for Lutheran World Relief, Bedford Women's Shelter, the Pregnancy Center in Bedford and the Roanoke Shelter. When a disaster hits that affects our community, whether locally or afar, we also try to send quilts. This past July Karen Kessler graciously offered to deliver 15 quilts to the Neighbor Loving Neighbor Program housed at Saint Thomas Episcopal Church in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. She shared the utter devastation of the area with us. Thank you to Karen for this special delivery. In addition to charity quilts, we sew graduating high school seniors quilts which are presented to the seniors from the church in May or June of each year. We are still accepting cotton material, large pieces of batting, thin blankets, sheets, or large size mattress pads to be used as filler. Even if you don't sew come join in the laughter and fun!

Cosby brother-in-law of Anne Cosby Thank You Letters The last several months have seen health complications enter my life that require assistance from fiends and neighbors. A Trinity member has become not only my primary "care giver" but also my friend and electronics expert. Ed Shauberger is someone who the Good Lord sent to me in my time of need to help me carryout the tasks that used to be routine. Introduce yourself to Ed and thank him for being a dedicated person who has befriended and aided a fellow parish member in need. Trinity members, Al and Becky Fuzi, have also been a major provider of assistance and encouragement as issues that need attention have arisen. My hope and prayer is that should others who may find themselves also in need of help will find their Ed and Al. Fred Crofts We are so grateful for all the prayers, messages, phone calls and cards from so many of our TEP friends after the unexpected death of our oldest granddaughter, Jolyn. She was a special person, and will be missed by her family and friends. It means so much at a time like this to know that we have such a caring community here at TEP. Bob and Sandra Ferguson Dear Friends, Thank you for all the wonderful cards, telephone calls and prayers since my accident and surgery. Thanks especially to Pastor Philip for his prayers and calls. All this is overwhelming and much appreciated by both Jeanne and I. I am well on the way to recovery and doing very well. I am walking further each day and now almost up to ½ mile. We hope to see you all soon. With gratitude and love, Jim Fischer Dear Trinity, Thank you for sending me the cards to make me feel better after my surgery. It helped a lot!
