Upcoming Events
All Saints’ Sunday - 11/4
Trinity is scheduled to serve dinner to families at the
Ronald McDonald house next on Sunday, October 28th.
We are looking for volunteers to donate/prepare/serve the meal. We
leave about 4 pm and return around 7:30 pm. Please see Lynn
Chialastri for more information or to join the group. No experience
needed! Many thanks for your continued support.
Calling All Chefs
On the first Sunday of November, as we mark All Saints in the
liturgical calendar, we invite you to bring the names of your loved
ones who were baptized during this past year, since last All
Saints’ Sunday, as well as those dear to you who have died.
We have a journal in the narthex just outside the
sanctuary. Enter the names of your loved ones on the appropriate
pages after the names we have already entered of members of the
congregation whose baptisms were held here, and members of the
parish who died this year. Then we’ll include those names in our
All Saints Sunday prayers as we stand together, blessed by God,
in the communion of saints.
If you are in need of pastoral care on either a Friday or Saturday (Pastor Skyle’s days off), a member of TLC is
always on call. Below you will find the on-call list for September & October.

LIFT - Women’s Fellowship
Trinity Ladies, please join us on Monday October 8th for a time of “Fellowship and Service”. As we gather
together in friendship, we will be assembling the donated items into our “Winter Blessing Bags” for the
homeless. Thank you to everyone in our generous church community for all your donations. These blessing
bags will contain items that will make the upcoming winter months easier for our less fortunate brothers and
sisters in Christ. We will also be including an uplifting personal message to care for their spirit as well as their
bodies. Don’t worry there will still be our usual goodies as we work and fellowship together. Hope you can join
us. Bring a friend or two for a fun evening together.

Halloween Treats for Martin Luther Silver Springs Kids!
We’ll be collecting goodies for these great kids over the next two
Sundays. If you can donate nut-less candy, little snack packs, or little fun
things like erasers, rings, temporary tattoos (no sharp objects, please), you
will be bringing a happy smile to a young friend. There are about 75
kiddos who will know that Trinity loves them. Thank you for your
generous kindness!
Praying Attention
From the Desk of Nina Wason
Psalm 8
O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
From the mouths of children and babes you have ordained praise because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established:
what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet,
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Praying
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones, just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest, but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
(Mary Oliver in Thirst)
Hunger and Halloween
Pennsylvania is in the top 10 again. This time spending 1.57 times the national average on CANDY.
Well this is candy season, with Halloween just around the corner. Apparently every state has a
favorite candy and there is someone out there taking this survey seriously. Ironic for Pennsylvanians and particularly
Lutherans in PA, the top candy choice is Swedish Fish. When was the last time you ate a Swedish Fish? (Survey
credibility?) I know that that survey never came my way. However, Americans in general have overall candy prefer-
ences and the top vote getters were Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat and Butterfinger. Now that’s more like it.
The candy of choice in the most number of states turned out to be the polarizing “Candy Corn”. Did you know if you
laid out all the candy corn at Halloween end to end it would circle the earth 4.25 times. Hopefully this was not the
subject of someone’s doctoral thesis. But now you know.
If your favorite candy is Skittles for example you will probably have to gather your family and resettle in Nebraska or
Arkansas. But if you are into Snickers then your options are Alaska (frozen Snickers are the best anyway) or Illinois.
Move to Alabama or Washington and you’re stuck with Airheads (I did not make this up) and a move to Utah gets
you associated with Nerds.
Halloween is a fun time. Kids love dressing up and pretending, even for a little while.
For many kids Halloween still means hunger. More than 12 million children in America are food insecure and lack the
resources to obtain nutritional meals. One in five persons in a soup kitchen line are children. Hunger deprives
children of more than just food. The effects can last a lifetime.
There are no “Tricks” to make this go away but we can certainly “Treat” our neighbors to a meal. So when you are
out shopping these next few weeks getting in your supply of Swedish Fish, pick up an extra can of Tuna or Tomato
sauce, canned fruit, a bottle of juice, or a can or two of soup. All these are on the Daily Bread Food Bank current wish
list.
Hunger is scary and you can’t pretend it away.
