What is Radical Hospitality? Jesus said, ―Whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple – truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.‖ ~ Mat-thew 10:42 Trinity has a new brochure that tells who we are and what we do. You can see a copy – if you have not already – in the tract rack in the church. This brochure was pre-pared by the Nominating Commit-tee for mailing to priests interested in being called as Trinity’s next Rector. The information included in the tri-fold brochure was com-piled from the Holy Conversations, which many of you attended. So what does this have to do with Radical Hospitality? Radical Hospitality and Radical Welcome are phrases used to describe how Jesus welcomed people during his life and ministry. When we follow Jesus we are called to offer this

same Radical Hospitality: to one another, to everyone who comes to our doors and to those we serve. These words, or variations thereof, are also the titles of books and ar-ticles about how Christians wel-come others. They are familiar phrases to clergy and many lay persons, although perhaps unfa-miliar to some. The word ―radical‖ can conjure up images of all kinds of people and things. When the Church uses the phrase Radical Hospitality or Radical Welcome, we mean a hos-pitality or welcome that trans-cends all human limits. It means

exactly what we do at Trinity. It means regardless of attire, de-meanor, class, race, sexual orienta-tion or any other factor, we wel-come everyone to worship and participation. Regardless of the words we use to describe what we do at Trinity, Radical Hospitality goes on here every day. Radical Hospitality and Radical Welcome are carried out by members of Trinity. Radical Welcome is alive and thriving at Trinity. I’ve seen it hap-pen. I’ve watched people at Trinity invite someone to join us for Soup or Salad Sunday when it is obvious the person is very different from the usual gathered body of people who attend Trinity. I’ve watched us welcome gay and lesbian singles and couples in the same way we welcome straight singles and cou-ples: with just as much warmth, excitement and enthusiasm. This is Radical Hospitality and Radical Welcome. One excellent measure of the vitality of Radical Hospitality in a congregation is to look around at the conversations taking place. Observe closely at the next Salad Sunday (July 10), and see Radical Hospitality in action. You will see three different generations from

Desperately Seeking Volunteers …

for NKY Reading Camp

Volunteers are needed for teach-ing, decorating, crafting, preparing and serving meals, chaperoning, driving, and taking photographs during Reading Camp, July 11-15, 2011. We also have a special need for teenaged or young adult coun-selors. Counselors are an im-portant part of the camp experi-ence. Our campers look up to you. There is a job for every volun-teer. Whatever your interest or ability, we can use you. Can’t come for the full week of camp? We can still use you for two days, one day, or even a half day. If you cannot attend camp, there

are many other ways you can help: Write letters to campers. Chil-dren love to receive mail while at camp. No one wants to be left out during Mail Call. Bring your letters to Trinity on July 10 (the Sunday before Reading Camp). To person-alize letters, call Gee Gaither at 859-331-1632 or [email protected] for names of campers.

Donate a book. Each camper takes home a satchel of books. For some, these are the first books they have ever owned.

All good things have to end, even Reading Camp. Help us ―take

down and pack up‖ about 5 p.m. on July 15 (the last day of camp).

Support campers by attending the closing ceremony on July 15. Your presence shows the children that reading is important. You are also welcome to visit any time dur-ing Reading Camp.

Don’t forget to register as a volunteer by signing on to the Reading Camp website at www.readingcamprocks.org/volunteer/apply. We need your ap-plication as soon as possible.

three totally different families sitting at the same ta-ble. You will see a conversation between someone leaning on a cane and a five-year-old. Neither is relat-ed to the other; they’re just interested in one another.

You will see everyone talking to everyone else, no matter who they are and no matter how they got to Trinity. This is Radical Hospitality. This is Radical Welcome. This is doing what Jesus calls us to do. May your Radical Hospitality be a blessing to oth-ers and to you.

Vacation

Bible School Under the theme of ―Hero Head-quarters,‖ we will be offering a sim-ple meal followed by songs, dra-mas, crafts, discussions and games. This program will introduce un-named Bible heroes who were not super or powerful, yet their small acts were used by God to do won-derful things.

We are asking for everyone to bring school items (pencils, cray-ons, markers, glue, etc.) that will be donated to those students that can-not afford them and be a ―hero‖ or ―shero. We look forward to seeing everyone and having a good time.

The sign-up sheet for the Labor Day weekend will soon be posted. We usually have about 120 parishioners for the weekend. Please see Judy Clements, John Lucas, Robert Edwards, Amy Milburn or Barbara Baglien for more in-formation. This is a great weekend to relax and become better ac-quainted with the Trinity fam-ily. There is no set schedule except for meals and one wor-ship service. Activities include swimming, hiking, playing cards and other games, caving, reading, napping, talking, and just good conversation.

…..All ages are welcome, and we will make the best effort to place you in a cabin that will meet your needs. See Judy Clements for special concerns.

Summer Choir

Because Trinity Sunday was so late this year, there will be only two chances to sing in the Summer Choir: July 31 and August 28. On those days there is a rehearsal in the sanctuary at 9:30 a.m. The choir sits in the congregation until the time of the peace, when they assemble by the organ to share their hymn anthem.

This is an excellent way to share your musical talent if your sched-ule will not allow you to sing with the choir during the school year.

When: July 24-28, 6-8:15 p.m.

Who: 4-year-olds through

rising 8th graders

Summer Sunday School

Godly Play and Children's Wor-ship I and II continue to meet each week this summer. Students will

remain in the classes they were in during the school year; we will ad-vance everyone beginning with the fall session. The nursery and toddler rooms are currently in session.

Psalm 96 opens with ―Sing to the

Lord a new song; sing to the Lord,

all the whole earth. Sing to the

Lord and bless his name; proclaim

the good news of his salvation from

day to day.‖ The Cantate Domino

exhortation could represent the life

and testimony of Elise Hyder, who

recently accepted the role as Trini-

ty’s Stewardship leader. Her su-

perb and glorious voice has filled

the air at Trinity for eight years.

She began singing in a Lutheran

church choir at the age of five and

has never stopped.

But being a songbird is only a

single dimension of this richly

faithful parishioner. After receiving

her undergraduate degree with ma-

jors in music and psychology at

Florida State University, she en-

rolled in UC’s College-Conservatory

of Music ―seduced,‖ she says, to

pursue a career in opera. While a

student, she sang as an alto soloist

at Calvary Episcopal Church in Clif-

ton, and, experiencing voice-

compromising health issues, found

solace at Calvary and the Episcopal

Church, confirmed there by Bishop

Thompson in 1995. She received a

Masters of Voice degree at CCM,

but decided that professional opera

was not her destiny .

Elise took a position in group

sales for the Cincinnati Symphony

Orchestra, where she stayed for 15

years. She has sung and acted on

the Music Hall and Riverbend stag-

es, performed as soloist at West-

wood Presbyterian and St. Peter in

Chains, and sang in a professional a

capella ensemble, Voice Box, for

two years, touring regionally and

recording a CD. A highlight of that

experience was being hired as the

opening act for Art Garfunkel with

Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati

Pops. The highlights of her music

at Trinity include seven exceptional

Midday Musical recitals, not to

mention the solos and ensemble

singing in the Trinity choir.

Her real destiny, she believes,

was to ―meet the man of my

dreams‖ and start a family. She

met Drew Hyder while in graduate

school, and their first date was,

ironically, a CSO concert. They

were married at Calvary in 1996

and have two children, Austin, 9,

and Renee, 6. Both kids study

piano, and Austin chimes for Trini-

ty.

In the wake of a parish schism,

Elise left Calvary in 1997. After Aus-

tin was born, she felt called back to

the church. Bob Wallace, a friend

and CSO client, intrigued her with

his conversation about Trinity, so

Elise accepted his invitation to visit.

She found the parish ―warm and

inviting, and experienced the uplift-

ing worship service filled with beau-

tiful music, powerful preaching,

and, most of all, a loving communi-

ty filled with the Holy Spirit.‖

She recently began a new a job as

Director of Volunteers for the

Ronald McDonald House -- whose

mission is to offer all the comforts

of home to every family with a hos-

pitalized child — managing 400 vol-

unteers. To her, the position is a

call from God, witnessing acts of

love in ―the house that love built.‖

In the eight years since she first

attended Trinity, she is over-

whelmed by how much Trinity has

shaped her life. She has been in-

spired by John Deaver’s spiritual/

music leadership and the music

program, but also by Joe Penning-

ton, Nicolette Papanek and the

people at Trinity, challenging her

and growing her relationship with

Christ. Trinity, to her, is a ―spirit-

filled faith community.‖ She also

admires how the church embraces

the community of Covington in out-

reach. Beyond the amazing music

contributions, Elise has served on

the Vestry and continues to serve as

a Sunday School teacher, in addi-

tion to scheduling the Sunday

Greeters.

But perhaps the larger contribu-

tion will be in her new role as Trini-

ty Stewardship Chair for the next

three years. When first asked to

consider this position, she talked

with Drew, and it was he who en-

couraged her to take it on, because

in his mind and hers, she owes so

much to Trinity. Elise’s perspec-

tive: ―The people of Trinity inspire

me to do better, to be better. Trini-

ty has had such a positive impact on

my children and I am thrilled that

they are being spiritually raised and

fed by such a loving faith communi-

ty. I am lifted up every time I walk

through the doors. I feel so blessed

to have found my church home.‖

Trinity inspire
