In my previous conversations with Pastor H, I can tell that this congregation is a close-knit, gifted, missional and family-oriented group of people that love God and each other. I am encouraged by the many areas of growth experienced over the past few years, and I know God has amazing things planned for the future of Trinity UMC! Just a little about myself, I am a native of Pataskala, Ohio which is about 30 miles east of Columbus. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Minor in Music from The Ohio State University in Columbus. I am currently a Licensed Local Pastor in the United Methodist Church. Over the past four years I have pursued a Master of Divinity degree at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, and expect to graduate in May. During this time I have also served as the Associate Pastor at Hayes Memorial UMC right here in Fremont. My wife Carrie is the Assistant Band Director at the Fremont Ross Middle and High Schools. My step-daughter Ashley is in the fourth grade and attends Hayes Elementary. I also have a two-year-old daughter Kaylee. My first official Sunday isn't until June 28th, but you may see me around here and there until then. My family and I are look forward to reconnecting, meeting and getting to know everyone very soon! Many blessings, Pastor Ben 2 MISSIONS IN MOTION Laurie Black The Lenten Challenge is going very well! As of March 20th we have collected 92 laundry soaps and 100 packs of toilet paper! We have collected our goal, but I will keep collecting until Easter Sunday and then will report the grand total. Each Wednesday in order to keep the Blessings Closet supplied, I have removed some laundry soap and toilet paper from the display at the front of the sanctuary. What you see is not all that we have collected. I believe 92 laundry soaps and 100 packs of toilet paper would have been an overflowing sight! I may be the coordinator of the Blessings Closet, but you, Trinity Church, made the Lenten Challenge a huge success! All of the items help families which come through our doors each week. Even though donations have been wonderful, the Blessings Closet is in need of constant supply. Suggested items to donate are: toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap, fabric softener, paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, facial tissue, bar soap, shower gel, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant (men & women), disposable razors, shaving cream, toilet bowl cleaner, Q-Tips, any household cleaning products. Tons of donations! Thank you!! Donations can be brought to the church on Sunday mornings or during church office hours Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Please put in the shopping cart at the back of the church or in the Missions Room. For monetary donations, please make a check out to Trinity United Methodist church (Memo: Blessing Closet). Mail/drop off the check to the church office or put it in the Sunday service offering plate. I would like to thank Bev Whisler, who helps in the Blessing Closet most every week. Even though it was cold or snowy out, she still tried to come in. Bev is a big help to me. Questions or like to help in any way, please stop by the Mission Room on any Wednesday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon or give me a call at 419-341-8371. 3 Thursday, April 2, 2015, 7:30pm 12:05 Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified. In contrast to the joy of Easter morning when we worship our risen Savior, the Holy Thursday service is solemn, marked by the shadow of Jesus’ betrayal. Two events are the focus of Holy Thursday: Rev. Ken DeChant, Journey Church “Father Forgive Them…” Psalm 32 and Luke 23:32-34 Keri DeChant singing “You Are my King (Amazing Love) 12:25 Pr. Jody Rice, Grace Lutheran Church “This Day You Will Be With Me In Paradise.” Psalm 28 and Luke 23:39-43 12:55 Rev. Solomon Woodson, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church “Woman Behold Your Son…” Psalm 109:21-31 and John 19:23-27 Earlene Woodson singing “The Lord’s Prayer” 1:20 Pr. Jose Rios, Iglesias Camino De Vida Church “My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?” Psalm 22:1-9 and Mark 15:33-36 1:45 Pastor-Bishop, Andy Robert, The Church Of God “I Thirst” Psalm 22:11-21a and John 19:28-29 2:10 Pr. Bob Young “Father Into Your Hands” Psalm 31:1-5, 9-15 and Luke 23:44-49 2:35 Pr. Ed Miller, First Brethren Church “It Is Finished” Psalm 130 and John 19:3 Before the Passover meal, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. By performing this lowly act, Jesus demonstrated how Christians are to love one another through humble service. During the Passover meal, Jesus took bread and wine and asked God to bless it. He broke the bread into pieces, gave it to his disciples and said, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Then he took the cup of wine, shared it with his disciples and said, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.” (RSV Luke 22:19-20) Please join us Holy Thursday evening at 7:30 pm, here at Trinity. We will be observing our traditional service with readings and Holy Communion. Easter Sunday At Trinity Please join us Easter Sunday at 10:15am for our Celebration Service. There will be special music and communion.
