All Saints SundayNovember 3

On November 3, at all three worship services,Trinity will be remembering all those who havegone on to the Church Triumphant in the pastyear.

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

In the Old Testament book of I Samuel we read about adark moment of despair in Davids life. Remember, this is theman who as a shepherd boy defeated the giant, became a na-tional hero, wrote many of the Psalms, would become the sec-ond King of Israel, and be described by the Bible as a man afterGods own heart. Yet this was a moment of deep and dark de-spair. In spite of this difficult moment we read: But David

strengthened himself in the Lord his God (I Samuel 30:6).

The Rev. Chuck Swindoll writes; Dark days call for rightthinking and vertical focus. So David looked to God (verticalfocus) and remembered how his Creator and Sustainer had de-livered him so many times in the past. David cried out to hisheavenly Father for help. God in His graciousness looked uponHis servant David with favor and provided the strength andgrace to push through the darkness to the brightness and beauty

of a new day.

Stuck in a dark place? Look up. Look to the One who isour refuge and our strength and a present help in time ofneed (Psalm 46:1). Look to the One who has promised: I willnever leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1:5). Thanks be toGod!

Grace and Peace,

Rev. George R. Patterson, MDiv.Senior Pastor

Medication Safety TipsHealth Outreach Ministry

Dr. Dot Baker

The headline reads: Simple Checks Could Save Your Life! This article presents some tips to safely use your medicines.These tips apply to every age and to anyone who takes even one prescription and/or over-the-counter medicine or sup-plement. Most important: communicate with your healthcare provider(s) and with your pharmacist - knowledgeable andexperienced people to advise and counsel you.

WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK? Find out basic information: What medicine(s) am I going to take? Why do Ineed the medicine? Are there any side effects and/or interactions with other medicines or supplements that I am taking?How long will I take the medicine? When should I return for a check-up or when should I call if I have a problem?WHERE SHOULD I BUY MY MEDS? Be very careful and make wise choices. Buy from a reputable and caring localpharmacy. Discuss mail order services with your physician and health care plan. If you decide to purchase meds by

Internet, protect your privacy and security. Determine that the pharmacy is licensed by its state pharmacy board and haslicensed pharmacists to answer your questions. Be cautious of overseas pharmacies that may offer cheaper prices BUTmay not be licensed or regulated in any way. MAKE SURE that the medicines that you receive from any pharmacy arethe ones that your health care provider ordered.

HOW DO I SAFELY STORE, TAKE, and MONITOR MY MEDS? Talk with your pharmacist and read the pre-scription label. In general, store your medicines is a cool and dry place NOT in a warm and humid place such as thebathroom. Keep you medicines in original container. Find a convenient and central place that you can secure from chil-dren. Lock up controlled substances such as powerful pain medicines. Use good light when you take your medicines.Check expiration dates (expired medicines may crumble, change their formula, and not work as intended). Use ALL ofthe medicine as prescribed ----do NOT save the medicine and restart it again later if you get similar symptoms. Do NOT

share medicines that are prescribed for anyone else. Monitor for side effects or adverse effects such as hives, vomiting,funny feelings, etc. HOW DO I SAFELYDISPOSE OF MY MEDS? Check the newspaper and websites for take-back days and locations that have year-round disposal services. Be sure to remove the label with your identificationinformation. If you dispose of medicines yourself: put the medicine into a sealable plastic bag. Add water to dissolvepills or liquids. Add kitty litter, sawdust, or coffee grounds to make the meds less appealing. Check the Food and DrugAdministrations website to find out when and which medicines can be flushed down the toilet. We want to protect ourwater and soil.

GENERAL TIPS: Bring a list or a bag with all of your medicines (prescribe, over-the-counter, herbs/supplements)when you go to your health care provider, hospital, or pharmacy. That way, each of them knows exactly what meds you

are taking and who prescribed each one. Talk to your family members about medicine safety and about safe use ofmedicines. Communicate with your health care provider and pharmacist. Heed the headline that Simple Checks CouldSave Your Life! God cares about your health: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,even as thou soul prospereth (III John 1:3). For I will restore health unto you, and I will heal you of your wounds, saiththe Lord (Jeremiah 30:17)

Living Well: Take Charge of Your Healthby Robin Ritchie

A new buzz word in healthcare today is self-management. Self-Management refers to the deci-

sions and actions we take every day that affect our health and the way we feel. Our doctors can treat con-

ditions and symptoms, but we have the final say on food & drink, bedtime routines, exercise, spiritual prac-

tice, relaxation, social activities, and taking or not taking prescribed medications. Research has shown that

improving self-management can have profound effects on health. Often we know what to do, but we needhelp putting it into action.

We would like to offer a class at Trinity called Living Well: Take Charge of Your Health. This is the

best known and most highly regarded self-management program, developed at Stanford Universitys Pa-

tient Education Research Center. It has 20 years of impressive results for participants. Published studies

have shown:

Improved health

Improved sense of well-being

Reduced fatigue

Increase in activity Better partnerships with physicians

Fewer Emergency Room visits, hospitalizations, and doctor visits

The program includes a series of six weekly workshops focused on pain management, managing

emotions, eating, exercise, medication use, and communication with physicians. The workshops are led by

trained leaders, at least one of them living with a chronic condition. The sessions are highly interactive,

with group members learning from the material presented, and sharing their own ideas and practical ad-

vice. People help each other to take actions they desire and support each others efforts and challenges.

Christian Education

by Janal WaltonDirector of Childrens Ministries

THIRD GRADE BIBLE PRESENTATIONA presentation of Bible to our third graders will be held on October 20, at the

9:30 service. The congregation is thrilled to being Bibles to Johnathan EdwardCrockett, Francis DelGaudio IV, Emily Rose Hooper, Hunter Jones, Brody HowardKing, Brock Alexander Lawson, Brooke Gabrielle Mulford, Benjamin WhaleyOBrien, Caleb David Thompson, Trent Warfield, and Christian Dryden Webb. It isan honor for our church every year. Call Mrs. Janal Walton for additions and cor-rections at 410 726-5893.

SUNDAY SCOOLThere are Sunday School opportunities are for everyone! Every age has a class so come and get

involved with a small group of folks who want to learn more about Gods Word! The Pre-school thru 12thgrades, meet at 9:30 in the Jackson Memorial, with an adult class being held at Ed Freshwaters house atthe same time. Then the Berean Adult Class gather with Reverend Dean DeFino in room 303 at 10:45 toexplore the book of Psalms. Lots of good things are happening!

Our Pre-Schoolers through 4th grades will go from Judges to Kings this fall as we study Judgesthrough the First Book of Samuel. The story of Deborah (Judges 4:4-16, 5:1-31) and her wise leadershipteaches us that even in times of military turmoil (which eventually lead to 40 years of peace under her ten-ure), God gives good leaders to Gods people. The saga of Samuels birth, priestly training, years as ajudge, and an ambassador for God to the new monarchy of Saul, and David leads to great lessons!

WHO ARE THE NAZIRITES?All of this studying has led me to the word---Nazirite. Samuel and Samson were Nazirites. I

found out the NAZIRITES are people dedicated (or were dedicated by their parents) to a special sacred

service to God for a specific amount of timesometimes a lifetime or a shorter period. The Nazirite order

is described in Number 6:1-21. These people had extra requirements above and beyond most people. Na-

zirites had to avoid all grapes/wine and any type of alcohol, couldnt touch a dead body and couldnt cut

their hair. Under this special vow the Nazirites were supposed to have an extraordinary connections with

God. Samson had trouble keeping some of those requirements and paid for it---and died trying to redeem

himself. Samuel, on the other hand, a prophet and a judge, dedicated and was a solid voice for God. He

also anointed Saul and David to be Israels kings. Thanks for letting me share my new knowledge!

Come to SUNDAY SCHOOL AND GET INVOLVED!

Ask the Rev

When I pray and ask God for forgiveness for my sins, do I have to do this continu-

ously or just once? Sometimes I feel that God is tired of my redundant prayers.

So often we get the idea that prayer has to be some elaborate discourse on praise ora confessional both to continually ask for forgiveness, or a form where we ask in-

cessantly for various favors or things. Prayer was a difficult thing for Jesus disci-ples, who asked the Lord how to pray. Prayer is simply talking to God and sharingour feelings, emotions, and giving praise to our creator. One of the cleverest weap-ons that Satan uses against Christians is bringing up past sins for which he wouldwant to haunt us forever. There is a song called No Yesterdays which says thatour sins are forgiven and known to God no more. Repeated pleas for forgiveness of the same sins showsour lack of understanding of the love of God and the healing power of His forgiveness. Yes we maycommit more sins that need to be confessed, but that is why the Lords Prayer is so important. It coversthe essential aspects of prayer: request for our physical and spiritual needs, forgiveness for our sins aswe forgive others, and praise to our creator. The key element of prayer is sincerity. Do we really meanand believe the words we say as we pray. God is never tired of the prayers from a sincere heart.

Ask the Rev is a Trumpet newsletter feature where Rev. DeFino will answer your questions on the Bible, doc-trine or religious beliefs and events. Send or call your questions into the church office, and they will be answeredin future issues.

Dramatic Desserts is returning to Trinity Friday NOVEMBER 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the JMB. This

Stories from the BasementHelp and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc.

By Donna Clark RN, Director

Summer has moved on and needs are changing. Warm clothes, blankets, socks, and shoes are the hot items requested. Friends from the past are showing up looking for tents, heaters and fuel for their camps. These aritems that we don't usually supply and they know that but, I think they just like to check in. Others have stoppeby to let us know that they are doing well and remain clean and sober and housed. Each day that we are opesomething happens to make us know that God is with us as we help all who come through our doors.There is a full moon at the end of this week and we have seen the restlessness building in our clients with mentahealth issues. We spent a lot of time talking today with one client in particular about his current living situationHe is getting mental health care but at times his paranoia and fear of crowds overwhelms him. Due to his menthealth he has spent most of his life incarcerated and his health issues went untreated. Now that he is receivincare he is trying so hard to "fit in" but society makes that a difficult challenge. Today he was very agitated wit

himself and everyone around him. It was the test of our day today to help him cope. He stated that the lovinChristian atmosphere here in the office gives him a sense of comfort and security. Once again God at work herat H.O.P.E., Inc.Update:The elderly couple has been helped by Adult Protective Services and at this time is safe. Praise God!The gentleman with bladder cancer reappeared but his addiction is so bad he cannot make good choices to helhimself. He continues to be on the streets and needs your ongoing prayers.
