D iane was born in San Fran-
cisco, California. She was
the first of 5 children born to her
parents, Tony and Lucretia Flores.
Diane's father and all 4 of her
grandparents were born in Sicily,
Italy. Her mother was born in
Pittsburg, California. Her parents
met and were married in San
Francisco, bringing 2 large Italian
families together.
She remembers growing up
with lots of music and wonderful
food. Diane grew up in the Santa
Clara Valley through her sopho-
more year in high school. At that
point her family moved up to the
Santa Cruz mountains.
After graduating from Los
Gatos High School, she attended
San Jose State College (now Uni-
versity) where, in 5 years, she
graduated with a BA in music and
a K-8 teaching certificate. She
met and married Larry Perry
while in college. Within the next 3
years they had their 2 daughters,
Alison (Hero) and Elisa (Welch).
While the girls were young, Diane
taught for 6 years, covering grades
K-6.
Though not having a music po-
sition, she was able to teach music
by trading class subjects with
other teachers. During that same
time she became involved in music
theater as accompanist, playing
for half a dozen large productions.
In 1976, Diane and Larry sold
their home in Loma Prieta, moved
into a school bus (converted to
very comfortable living quarters)
and, along with Diane's youngest
sister Lisa, hit the road and trav-
eled for the next year. Diane, hav-
ing a teaching certificate, allowed
them to take the girls out of school
and teach along the way.
They traveled north and up
through BC and back down on the
ferry to Vancouver. They stopped
and spent time (and fell in love
with) the then, quiet town of Port
Townsend. They settled here in
1977 where the girls went back to
school. Larry worked as a carpen-
ter and Diane immediately got
back to working as an accompa-
nist, and working in the political
community.
She became full-time accompa-
nist for the PT Community Cho-
rus, playing 2 seasons a year for
30 years. She became music direc-

M y favorite part of my trip to Ha-
waii with Eric, besides getting
married to an amazing man, was hiking to the active
lava flow. In order to get to the lava we had to bike 3
miles and then walk 3 miles over the black and rugged
basalt field. It was an eerie experience walking over
the basalt as it cracked under our feet. The lava flow is
somewhat unpredictable, and I wondered as we walked
over the newly hardened rock
if there was lava flowing just
under the surface of what we
were stepping on as we made
our way towards the area
where the lava was breaking
out to the surface.
As we neared the area
where people were gathering
we began to feel the heat of the
lava long before we saw the
glowing orange goo that was
flowing out like a river from
the ground. It was so hot that
standing 5 feet from the breakout raised the air tem-
perature from 70 degrees to 120 degrees. At 3 feet from
the breakout the air temperature felt like the heat
coming out of an oven. Getting any closer was nearly
impossible as the air temperature was too intense to
withstand for more than a few seconds. We stayed for
nearly 2 hours simply staring at the lava and watching
it as it would build up under the cooled hardened rock
and then burst forth like a raging river. The earth was
being re-created right in front of my eyes as it had
been doing since the beginning of time. Witnessing this
new creation being formed right before my eyes was
such a privilege.
The image of fire and God in the Bible appears of-
ten. Malachi 3:2 poses the rhetorical question, "But
who will be able to stand up to that coming? Who can
survive God's appearance? God will be like white-hot
fire from the smelter’s furnace. God will scrub [people]
clean, refine them like gold and silver, until they’re fit
for God". Before I saw the lava I thought of this image
of God as something that was scary, as if God was out
to destroy people. However, after seeing the creative
power of the lava I had a new take on these images of
God.
Rather than seeing "the fire" imagery of God as a
terrifying judgment, maybe we can see it as a creative
force like the lava. It does burn up everything in it's
path, but it leaves a new creation in it's pathway of
transformation. To be honest, there have been (and
there still are) parts of who I am that I welcome God's
burning fire to consume and recreate. There were parts
of me that I gladly welcomed God's lava flow of fire to
burn up and recreate, leaving
a new and miraculous creation
of God. The addictions that
controlled my life in my past
needed to be completely de-
stroyed and remade by the all
consuming fire of God. In this
way of understanding the im-
agery of God as a 'consuming
fire' it is not something to be
feared, but rather something
to be welcomed.
We all have things about us
that we know bring harm to us
and to others. We have things in our lives that prevent
us from living the abundant life that we know is possi-
ble in Jesus. Sometimes the only hope we have for
transformation is the power of the Holy Spirit sweep-
ing over us and destroying these landscapes of our
lives so that something new can emerge that is a com-
plete transformation and re-creation of God. God's de-
struction is not to punish us, but rather to destroy
these strongholds of our lives and make all things new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 promises us that, "anyone united
with Christ gets a fresh start, is created new. The old
life is gone; a new life burgeons!" Destruction and judg-
ment then is not something to be feared but something
to be welcomed and embraced. As Christians we can
pray with hope for God to tear down parts of us, refine
us with fire, judge us with the wisdom and the ways of
God, and transform the landscapes of our lives so that
we can discover the new creations that are waiting to
bubble to the surface. Yes, God wants to wash over us
with fire, but only so we might be stripped of all that
which brings harm to us and to others and be re-
created to live lives like Jesus. So let us pray, "Come
Holy Spirit, pour over me like molten lava, and make
me into your perfect creation!"

T wo big things accomplished in
March: The Nursery has been
painted a wonderful sunny yellow, thanks to Katie Fin-
dell, Bill Brock, Jeff Krida and myself; the Parsonage
living room area has been painted by Morningstar and
a new floor has been laid by Bill Brock, Jeff Krida,
George Williams, Harvey Crow, and Don Edgar, with
instruction by Josh Keele. And Bill painted the alcove

T he Townsend Bay Ringers return Thursday,
April 26, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. for their 5th appear-
ance in the Trinity United Methodist Church Can-
dlelight Series. The ten talented local musicians look
forward to providing a whirlwind Handbell journey
around the world, directed by
Judy Schussler. The Town-
send Bay Ringers, Port Town-
send’s premier community
Handbell Choir, is comprised of
area musicians who travel
weekly from as far away as
Port Ludlow and Quilcene to
rehearse for concerts in the
community and performances
at local churches and retire-
ment homes.
When planning this year’s
concert, director Judy Schus-
sler focused on a wealth of mu-
sic available from countries
around the world to create an
international theme. A variety
of styles are especially suited
to handbell performance be-
cause of the many unique bell
techniques employed. The au-
dience will hear lush melodies
and harmonies, and unusual
percussive effects that are
achieved with “shakes”,
“swings”, and “mallets” as well as the “martellato”
technique of tapping the bells into foam padded tables.
The 11 member ensemble plays a total of 51 Handbells
and 37 Choirchimes requiring a great deal of team-
work. Each ringer plays only three to five bells that
must be integrated seamlessly
into the musical framework.
The musical parade of na-
tions represents Great Britain,
Russia, Japan, South Africa
and South America. Selections
will include “Scarborough
Fair”, an English ballad made
popular by Simon and Gar-
funkel and “Siyahamba”, a
lively Zulu freedom marching
song from South Africa. The
“Great Gate of Kiev” depicts
a grand city gate with majestic
carillon bell towers. A lively
Russian Dance will include
several unique bell techniques.
Sounds of the Far East will be
reflected in two beautiful Japa-
nese melodies with an almost
haunting quality when played
on choir chimes. The journey
ends in South America with a
popular Brazilian folk hymn
full of fiery Latin American
rhythms.

UNITED METHODIST WOMEN By Sheila Burrell
tor for the Port Townsend and Chimicum High Schools
musical productions through 8-10 musicals. She
taught piano for years having up to 40 students at one
time.
She met and married Mike Thompson ("Mickey T")
in 1985. They were married for 10 years before he died
in 1995. During the time of their marriage, she was
elected to the Port Townsend City Council and she
served for 4 years. After that she ran the "Dennis
Kucinich for President" campaign.
Diane and her siblings took their father to his home
town in Sicily, which he left at the age of 6. Her dad
wept with emotion at the site of the home that his fa-
ther had built. They found family and fell in love with
the people and the place. On their third trip, 30 family
members took Tony's ashes back "home" to San Vito Lo
Capo, Sicily. That is Diane's favorite place on Earth,
next to Port Townsend.
Diane loves working with all aspects of Trinity
UMC. She feels it is the most comfortable church she
has ever been in, being a part of the music and the
beautiful, loving people. She also feels blessed to be
part of her wonderful family which includes 4 siblings,
2 daughters, 3 grandchildren and her mom (who just
turned 100). Life is full and rich!

W e’re baaaaccckkk! Actually, we
never left; we’ve been busier
than ever working with the architects to refine the
RFP language for the contractors who we asked to
submit bids for our building project and completing
the city permit processes.
We finally have the bids in hand and all three are
higher than we anticipated. So, on April 22 we will
host a congregational meeting to present the results of
the bids and discuss next steps. We have several op-
tions that we are excited to show you.
Our vision has not changed and neither have the
needs you expressed during the early stages of our
campaign. We will get there…
Please join us on April 22 after Sunday’s ser-
vice. We promise it will be interesting and worth-
while.
Our next regular meeting is Monday, April 9,
5:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. All are welcome to
attend.

TRINITY NURSERY NEEDS YOU!!
Trinity is planning on starting a drop-in infant child care program. This is a much needed service here in Port Townsend.
We are in need of your skills, love, and prayers.
We have started an Amazon wish list, www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3LOVI0EPK05S3, to help organize ideas of
what we will need. The wish list is not necessarily a shopping list, if you find a better deal or a different similar product,
that would be just fine. Gently used items are welcome too. If you have donations of baby toys, furniture, or other
items please contact Katie Finedell before dropping items at the Church or in the nursery.
We also need your talents! If you quilt or knit we could use small blankets and quilts, they make great soft surfaces for
babies to play on. We plan on utilizing volunteers from our congregation and also the community to staff the nursery. If
you are interested in playing with babies or know someone that might like to help please let us know and please spread
the word.
More information to follow in the weeks and months ahead. Katie Finedell: [email protected]
I t’s Easter! The highest and holiest of
the Christian holidays, Easter is cele-
brated on the first Sunday following the first full
moon after the spring equinox, usually occurring be-
tween March 22 and April 25. It falls on April 1st this
year.
Easter lilies decorate the church, symbolizing
beauty, purity and holiness.
Celebrations may be parades where women wear
big hats, kids decorated Easter eggs hunts, and spe-
cial lamb or ham dinners.
April 1st is also April Fools’ Day where people play
light-hearted jokes on one another. “Mother Nature”
is apt to play sudden tricks with us too, sunny one
day, cold and rainy the next!

I n January, our monthly income fell
behind expenses, but the good news
was the prepaid pledges left us with more than enough
cash on hand to meet current expenses. In February,
history repeated itself as the monthly income was
$9,401 compared to expenses of $14,256. Thus, the to-
tal Income for February was less than the expenses by
$4,855. But again, the prepaid Pledges continue to pro-
vide us a positive cash balance to pay the bills. With
just two months into the year, it’s still early to start
worrying about cutting back on elective expenses in
anticipation of a cash shortage, but the Finance Com-
mittee is keeping a close eye on the situation.
This month, lets spotlight another Trinity gem
story, the Community Outreach activity of the Candle-
light Concerts that have been ongoing since February
2001, when the Nisqually Earthquake rocked Uptown
PT enough to knock Trinity off its foundations. Shortly
after the earthquake, Pastor Wendell Ankeny was ap-
proached by Mary Immel, Beth Mackey, Stan Goddard,
and Dick Immel to begin a monthly venue they called
Candlelight Concerts. These concerts were quickly ini-
tiated to help generate funding for the repairs, as the
City was considering condemning the entire church
building as a result of the structural damage. Fortu-
nately, the City gave Trinity time to make repairs and
the condemnation was averted. Later Evelyn & Willie
Freeman took over the managing responsibilities until
January of 2009 when the current impresario, Dan
Purnell, became the Candlelight Concert Series’ organ-
izer and began coordinating the Concert Series. The
proceeds from the concert donations still support
TUMC restoration and general operations. However,
once a quarter on average, the donations from concert
attendees are given to specific, outreach activities in
Port Townsend and Jefferson County. The Candlelight
Concert Series provides a unique venue for the many
talented musical artists that resided in and around
Port Townsend and are well attended.
Do those funds add up to enough to make a differ-
ence? I’m glad you were wondering about that, as it
just so happens they do. Counting just the last 5-years
(2013 thru 2017), the funds shared among 11 local en-
tities totaled $12,318! On average over the last 5-
years, each donation amount for these Outreach pro-
grams was $770. Furthermore, three of those programs
were supported more than once in that time period:
Toys for Tots (5 times), the Food Bank and the Boiler
Room (2 times each).
With that overview, I trust you will agree that the
breadth of the local charities that were supported over
the last 5 years is quite impressive, as their para-
phrased mission statements below demonstrate:
Boiler Room – building community by providing
food, music, job training, art training and more
Dove House – providing crisis intervention, shelter
and advocacy for victims of domestic violence
ECHHO – providing volunteer services and lending
medical equipment to residents in need
Gathering Place – helping enhance the lives of
adults with disabilities
Jumping Mouse – helping kids heal through ex-
pressive mental health therapy in a homelike place
Key City Public Theater – producing thought-
provoking and visually stunning productions
Maritime Schools – connecting the community with
its schools by supporting student learning through
a sense of place
NAMI Jefferson County – helping families and in-
dividuals living with mental illness to cope
Port Townsend Food Bank – providing food to
those families and individuals in need
Toys for Tots – collecting and distributing toys as
Christmas gifts to needy children
Keeping the Trinity physical site up and functioning
has a positive impact on the Community that goes far
beyond just providing a place for Spiritual Develop-
ment, as the Candlelight Concert donations supporting
local Outreach clearly demonstrates.
