SATURDAY SUMMER SERVICES
Dear Friends:
I have hot news!
From Saturday July 2nd through Saturday September 10th the 5 p.m. Saturday service will combine the best aspects of the
Come As You Are Eucharist (which we have done for several years on Saturdays) and the Koinonia services (which have
taken place on Sundays at the same time as our traditional 10 a.m. service.)
Like the Come As You Are Eucharist this service will feature:
- It will be at 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
- Contemporary music coordinated by Kristin Woods and provided by an assortment of volunteer musicians.
- Casual and comfortable, no need to dress up; the clergy do not even vest!
- Instead of three readings and a Psalm we focus on the Gospel story.
- An opportunity to share thoughts and feelings about the Gospel story.
Like the Koinonia service
- Kids will be active participants in the Gospel story and the prayers. Each person is invited to pour sand into a
vessel as they say their prayers.
- Kids assist in the serving and sharing of the sacrament.
- The service will take place in the Parish Hall.
Like both services the Summer Saturday Service will be shorter than the 10 a.m. service. Also like both services the
Eucharist will be celebrated.
To save paper and to make it easier on visitors to enter into the service the entire liturgy and music will be projected on a
screen.
So why are we doing this? WE are hoping it will provide families an additional time for worship on busy summer
weekends.
Faithfully,
Fr. Dave

THE JOYS OF SUMMER
Well summer has
finally arrived.
All
my mindless reality
shows that I watch
every winter have
come to an end and
the summer is full of
reruns. What to do?
What to do?
The days are full of
sunshine and outdoor
activities, but when the
sun sets the options
are limited of what to
do on a work night. So
I turn to books. I love
to spend the summer nights reading a book and listening
to good music. Getting caught up in the arts is a perfect
activity.
My recommended summer reading is the mystery writer
Louise Penny. I discovered her by chance while surfing
Amazon.com. I was drawn to the cover of her first book, Still
Life, because of the beautiful picture of the church on the
cover. I ordered it and have since devoured all her books.
It is impossible to put down one of her stories. Her books
are so wonderfully written, with gorgeous descriptions,
intriguing characters, and complicated plots. I have yet to
solve one of the books. Her understanding of human nature
and why people act as they do is marvelous. The books are
all set in Quebec, Canada with many of the stories set in
a small imaginary town named Three Pines. The writing is
very visual and the characters so real that I guarantee you
will want to move there.
plot…Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du
Québec, who is as bemused as we are by life in Three
Pines, has the wit and insight to look well beyond its idyllic
surface.”
Chicago Tribune, Crime watch, Dick Adler
“It's hard to decide what provides the most pleasure
in this enjoyable book: Gamache, a shrewd and kindly
man constantly surprised by homicide; the village, which
sounds at first like an ideal place to escape from civilization;
or the clever and carefully constructed plot.”
Louise Penny has a wonderful website and a daily blog that
is fun to follow. Her website also offers advice on getting
your book published. She is also on Facebook and very
interactive with her readers. She has won numerous awards
for each of her books, and as one gets lost in her writing it
is easy to understand why the accolades keep coming her
way. Please read her books in order as sometimes a small
clue to a previous crime is mentioned.
So these summer nights I’ll be reliving the magical beauty of
Three Pines and listening to music and chatting with friends.
Enjoy your summer, and I’ll see you at Trinity.
- Jane Saunders
Some reviews for Still Life:
New York Times Sunday Book Review, Marilyn Stasio
“The beauty of Louise Penny's auspicious debut novel,
STILL LIFE, is that it's composed entirely of grace notes,
all related to the central mystery of who shot an arrow into
the heart of
Miss Jane Neal… But, like her neighbors in the picturesque
Canadian village of Three Pines, the dear old thing had
hidden depths, courtesy of an author whose deceptively
simple style masks the complex patterns of a well-devised

CLAYTON A. MCLEMORE
EARNS THE RANK
OF EAGLE SCOUT
“Duty to God
Duty To Others
Duty To Self”
On Sunday June 5, with
family members, friends
and well wishers, and
two other recipients
Clayton McLemore was
honored at an Eagle
Scout Ceremony at
Suplee
Presbyterian
Church.
Clayton
has
been
involved with Scouting
for most of his life,
joining Cub Pack 408
in Fort Washington in
1999, and transferring to
Pack 405 in 2000, when
Maple Glen Elementary
opened. In February 2004 he earned the Arrow of Light
award and crossed over into Troop 542.
In his seven years in Troop 542, Clayton has earned 32
merit badges, and been recognized four times for excellent
meeting and trip attendance. His life has been enriched
by camping, leadership, friendship and adventure. In
addition to meetings and camping trips, he has attended
six annual summer camps at Resica Falls and Treasure
Island and twice traveled to Canada for Olympia Scope.
Since becoming eligible at 14, Clayton has participated in
every high adventure trip, including sailing the Florida Keys,
white-water canoeing and rock climbing in Pennsylvania,
and backpacking twice at Philmont Scout Ranch. On the
2010 Philmont trip he was joined by his father, Kevin, and
his brother, Charlie, with whom he has shared many of his
scouting experiences.
Clayton has been a member of the Cobra, Lightning, Eagle,
and Shark patrols. He has learned leadership in the roles of
Den Chief, Lead Instructor, Patrol Leader, and Troop Guide.
He has taken particular satisfaction in guiding younger
Scouts, and in his most recent role as
Troop Guide his patrol of first year Scouts earned first place
awards in both Troop 542’s Scout Skills competition as well
as in the district’s Gold Rush competition.
Clayton selected the Militia Hill Day Use Area in Fort
Washington State Park for his Eagle leadership service
project. He led a group of youth and adults who refurbished
and rebuilt seven picnic tables, cleaned and restored two
fire pits, built several new fireside benches and cleared the
areas of debris, fully restoring the site for public camping and
day use.
Clayton is an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church in
Ambler, where he has served as an acolyte and crucifer for
over 7 years and with whom he has undertaken mission trips
to work in Florida and West Virginia.
This is Clayton’s senior year at Upper Dublin High School,
where he has continually challenged himself with honors and
AP courses in a range of academic subjects from calculus
and physics to Spanish and psychology. He was honored
in 2011 as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, and he has
consistently been on the school honor roll for his academic
achievements. His extra-curricular activities have included
robotics, swimming, science fiction club, and quiz bowl. In the
summer, Clayton enjoys swimming for the Fort Washington
Sharks and spending time with his family and friends.
Next fall, Clayton will attend Penn State University in State
College, where he plans to study engineering.
Clayton would like to express his thanks to his parents, the
troop’s leaders, and all the other people who have supported
him on his trail to Eagle.

A SORT OF OVERVIEW
OF THE ORDINATION
PROCESS
Anyone can go to seminary but one
cannot just decide to be a priest or
deacon in the Episcopal Church. The
church assists individuals in discerning
whether they are being called to ordained
or some other special ministry through
a many layered discernment process
which includes:
1.
Meeting with the Rector
2.
Meeting with the Bishop
3.
Psychological exams
4.
Approval of the Vestry
After these steps have been taken and there is agreement that there may be a call to ordained ministry the following steps
are taken.
1.
A Parish Advisory Committee on Ministry (PACM) is formed, appointed by the Rector, to meet about 8 times to
assist and challenge the individual in thinking through the call.
2.
If the PACM affirms a call the individual is recommended to the Vestry and Rector who reports its findings to the
Bishop and Commission on Ministry.
3.
The Individual is invited to a Pre-postulancy conference sponsored by the Commission on Ministry. This is a
weekend of prayer and interviews with members of the Commission on Ministry.
4.
If the individual’s call is affirmed and the Bishop agrees the person becomes a postulant for holy orders.
5.
Formal training takes place for both priests and deacons. Generally postulants for the priesthood go off to
seminary and deacons are formed through a diocese directed program of on-line education and regular formation
gatherings.
6.
Eventually if the training goes well and after more interviews, the approval of the Vestry, the Commission on
Ministry and the Bishop, an individual is made a Candidate.
7.
Candidates complete their training, pass rigorous ordination exams, undergo another psychological exam and are
then ordained.
8.
Priests are first ordained to the transitional deaconate for at least six months and then ordained as priests. Those
who have been trained and formed as deacons have just one ordination. All ordinations take place at the
Cathedral.
Trinity Church has been blessed in the last several years to walk with 7 individuals through this process.

All Hallows Church as its youth minister and children’s
formation coordinator. If everyting goes well in seminary
and he is made a candidate Dennis should be ordained to
the transitional diaconate in June 2014!
JAY WALTON has been made a postulant for Holy Orders
and will begin his formal preparation at the Church Divinity
School of the Pacific in California. CDSP is a founding
member of the ecumenical Graduate Theological Union in
Berkeley, California. Being in California will make it easier
and less expensive for Jay to spend time with his son Ryan
who lives in Arizona!
AN UPDATE ON INDIVIDAULS
WHO HAVE BEEN OR ARE
IN THE ORDINATION PROCESS
KARYNJEAN DICKHOFF is completing her seminary
education at Lutheran Seminary In Philadlephia. After many
years living in this area and serving Trinity Church in so many
capacities Karynjean had the enthusiastic endorsement of
Fr. Dave, her PACM and the Vestry but was not made a
postulant. Karynjean is moving to Scranton, PA where she
hopes to teach, find a new church home and in a year or so
enter the ordination process in the Diocese of Bethlehem.
TED OLSON came to Trinity as a therapist and former
Roman Catholic priest. Ted had the enthusiastic support
of the Rector, his PACM, and the Vestry. Ted was made a
Postulant but through the discernment process Ted returned
to the Roman Catholic church believing he was called to be
in church with his partner Jack and to continue his therapy
practice.
BEN WALLIS was made a postulant for Holy Orders. Began
his seminary training at Lutheran Seminary but moved to
New York City with his wife Cori to complete his training at
the General Seminary. Since going to New York Ben has
been made a Candidate for Holy Orders. Ben was also made
a Daddy with the birth of his daughter Charlotte Ann. Ben
will complete his seminary training, his General Ordination
exams and is on track to be ordained to the transitional
diaconate in June 2012.
DENNIS REID, JR. has been made a postulant for Holy
Orders and will begin his preparation at the Virginia
Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia. Between
college graduation and seminary Dennis has served at
GREG GIBSON knowing that he was called to study theology
as he actively worked to discern his vocation Greg has been
studying at Fuller Seminary. Since he has been at Fuller
Greg has been at All Saints Episcopal Church is Pasadena
California for his filed work. Greg who started coming to
Trinity while he was in college and who worked with our youth
group has been approved by Bishop Lee to form a PACM
and to attend the Pre-Postulancy Conference in January
or February. His PACM will meet with him throughout the
summer. This summer Gregg is doing his Clinical Pastoral
Experience at Jeffferson Hospital.
JUDY LANDIS and her husband Tom started attending Trinity
a couple of years ago as she prepared to go to Lutheran
Seminary through the Lutheran Synod’s ordination process.
After two years here and in seminary, Judy has decided
that she really is more at home in the Episcopal Church.
Judy as met with Fr. Dave and Mary and Fr. Dave will be
meeting with Bishop Bennison to see if we might begin her
discernment of a call to be an Episcopal priest rather than a
Lutheran pastor.

THE HISTORY OF THE RED ROSE AWARD
When Dr. Richard Mattison built the original Trinity Church building in 1898, he gave it as a memorial
to his daughter, Victoria Mattison, who died at the age of four. Dr. Mattison, a wealthy industrialist,
whose home was what is now called the “castle” at St. Mary’s Villa was a long time member and
Rector’s Warden at Trinity Church.
The only condition that Dr. Mattison placed on the gift to the Diocese was that the Diocese require
as rent payment from our congregation one red rose each year. In recent years, the Diocese of
Pennsylvania turned the deed to the church over to the Rector, Wardens and Vestry of Trinity
Church thus ending our obligation to pay the annual rent of one red rose.
Yet, the tradition of presenting a red rose on Trinity Sunday continues. No longer is it presented as payment of rent but
it is now given in thanksgiving for the generosity of Richard Mattison and all the men, women, and children who for 113
years have given of their time talent
and treasure for the spread of God’s
kingdom in the Ambler Area.
On Trinity Sunday, June 19, 2011,
we presented a red rose to Sue
Adair. Sue is faithful in attendance,
choir and the healing prayer ministry.
Sue served on the Vestry of Trinity
Church for six years. She has been
generous to the church financially and by giving to the church a grand piano and an organ for the parish hall. Sue has also
used her quilting gifts to benefit the parish. Many members of Trinity Church work at Sue’s business, Feast and Fancy, and
many others have come to this church through her store. Sue serves more than gourmet food at her shop as she faithfully
prays for many of her customers.

““Last year I had the good
fortune to be such a servant. As the chaplain at Codorus
State Park in Hanover PA I conducted Sunday worship
services, organized Saturday activities for the park visitors
and visited campsites and people each week .”

Worship is conducted in an outside amphitheater. Not all
parks have chaplains. The PA Council of Churches tries to
place chaplains at all state parks that have overnight camping
facilities, but sometimes this is not possible due to lack of
money or local committees.

EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY (EFM)
TRINITY CLASS UPDATE
This May marked the successful completion of the study year for two
EFM classes here at Trinity. One class was held Monday evenings
and the other Wednesday mornings. In the Monday evening group we
had five participants. Four were first year students and one third year
member. They had a marvelous year, were creative and a very close
group. The Wednesday morning group had five members, four were
third year and two completed their fourth year and graduated. One
was from Trinity, Lynne Powley and the other from Pottstown, Peter
Hammonds. They had great success doing many Theological Reflections over the year. TR’s and group interaction are
the heart of the EFM experience. Next year, in this class, we will have four graduates, all from Trinity. EFM is a wonderful
experience for all who wish to move closer to God. There are openings for next year in both groups, which start in September
and run weekly through mid-May. Should you be interested in the unique experience of EFM please contact Father Dave,
Reita Detwiler, Kelly Ruprecht or Ed Mahler.

Theological Reflection
“Love is patient; love is kind. . . ”
1 Corinthians 13.4
Well………..love may be patient; the problem is, too often, I’m not. Patience is one of those virtues that exists in short
supply when I find myself faced with the disruption of well - conceived plans. Patience can sometimes be lacking when my
values clash with competing values. When I cannot be freed from a determined outcome, my patience is inadequate.
Some wise person somewhere said, “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned so as to have the life that
is waiting for us.” That requires patience. I keep forgetting – my urgencies are not God’s. Freedom to serve Christ is
compromised in impatience; in fact, one could argue that impatience equals a lack of trust in God.
In a recent entry in my prayer journal, I asked the question: “What do I lose when I am not patient?”
The response that came:
You lose your connectedness to God
You lose your connectedness to the beauty of the other
You lose ……………..
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can;
and not only the wisdom, but the patience to know the difference.
