It was while walking together
on a road from Jerusalem to
Emmaus that two followers
of Jesus were conversing,
wondering and searching for
answers. Their friend and
teacher, Jesus had just been
cruelly put to death on a
cross. Why and for what
reason they could not
comprehend. How had their
world and society
deteriorated to the point of
killing the innocent? And
now some of their friends
had told them that they had
seen a vision of angels who
said that Jesus was alive.
What were they to believe?
Their thoughts and emotions
raised issues of doubt and
faith.
With each step drawing them
closer to Emmaus, a stranger
came alongside them and
listened to them talking.
They shared their frustrations
with life, their
disappointments with God.
And it was then that Jesus
revealed himself to them,
3 pastor's page
giving meaning to his
suffering, death and
resurrection. Jesus
interpreted to them the things
about himself in all of
scriptures, giving meaning to
their wondering and
searching. We as followers of
Jesus are entering a time of
Lent, a journey of 40 days in
which we too hope that Jesus
will come alongside us. And I
suspect we, like those first
followers want to find
meaning for our lives. We too
are searching for a place of
well-being somewhere
between our own doubts and
faith.
I invite you to take the first
step on a walk during our 40
days of Lent, to let Jesus come
alongside you to reveal his
desire for your life. This walk
with Jesus is a walk of dying to
self, dying to destructive
habits brought on by doubts
and disappointments and
rising to new life, a life of
meaning, a life of wellbeing
both spiritually and physically.
Jesus comes alongside us to
reveal a life filled with hope,
which is Jesus’ desire for each
of us. Thus, Lent is a time of
dying and rising in Christ.
With each step we take
together during Lent, we will
be dying and rising in Christ
both on Sunday morning and
Wednesday evenings. We will
be conversing and confessing
our destructive habits that fill
us with doubt and
disappointments. We will be
listening to Jesus’ desire for
our Spiritual well-being which
includes: physical well-being,
social/interpersonal well-
being, emotional well-being,
intellectual well-being,
vocational well-being, and
financial well-being.
During our walk we will be
encouraged to find a place of
Spiritual well-being. On
Sundays we will learn from
Jesus through sermons his
desires for us. On
Wednesday’s we will live out
his desire through
opportunities that will inspire
us. On the weekend of March
5th
- 6th
you will be presented
with a packet of information
which will prepare you in
taking the first step. On Ash
Wednesday, March 9th
together we begin our 40
steps to Emmaus. A team has
been working hard to make
our journey through Lent a
very meaningful and life
changing experience. Please
take the time to read “The
Wholeness Wheel” insert that
is included in this Tidings and
related articles about Lent.
Then get ready to take the
first of 40 steps to Emmaus.
4 food for thought….a note from your Associate Pastor
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who
listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at
himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have
heard, but doing it—they will be
blessed in what they do. James 1: 22-25
Although Martin Luther may
have referred to the book of James as
the “gospel of straw”, modern day
Christians realize that it has a great
deal to say to those who say they are
followers of Jesus. It was written as a
letter to the church at large during a
time of persecution; a time when
being church was not popular and
could be downright dangerous.
Please notice; I said being church, not
doing or going to church. I am
convinced that church is not about
the building, the pastors, the
programs or even the wonderful
music. The church is the living,
breathing body of Christ called to be
the hands and feet of Jesus in our
world today. In other words, WE are
the church; not just the pastors or
staff, not just the council, not just
those whom you see serving during
worship, but all of us. Each and every
person who calls themselves a
follower of Jesus are to be about
living out their faith in real and
tangible ways; we hear the word and
the word is meant to propel us into
action. James says, that if we don’t,
it’s like we really have no clue who
we are.
But we do know who we are
and whose we are. We are reminded
every time there is a baptism or a
remembrance of baptism; we are
named and claimed by God and
sealed with the mark of the cross,
forever! We belong to God. We are
claimed by a God who lifts us out of
the despair of death and gives us the
freedom of new life. If you have ever
had a brush with death or know
someone who has, you know that
after that event, each and every day
is special, to be cherished and fully
lived out. It is no different once we
grasp the fact that each and every
day we have been given new life in
Jesus and are called to live out those
lives in Christ fully. If we are to carry
out this fullness that God wants for
us, we will have to engage our faith in
such a way so that we are not just
“hearers” of the word, but “doers.”
We have been given this new life for
the purpose of the kingdom. It’s true
that we might be fine, upstanding
people and not letting our light shine.
But Jesus calls his followers to be
bear bold witness to his presence in
our life. However, this witness is not
that of a bystander, but rather that of
someone who seeks a deeper
relationship with the master.
This letter is an invitation into
that relationship; an invitation to
recognize who you are and whose
you are in Christ and to act on that
knowledge in a way that is visible to
the world. It is an invitation to live
out your new life in such a way that
without saying a word, your faith is
completely obvious to all around you.
This is an invitation to step outside of
your comfort zone and serve God’s
people as the church, the hands and
feet of the living Jesus. Like scripture
says, the harvest is plentiful, but far
too often, the harvesters are few.
Many of your sisters and brothers
have already answered the call to this
new life. I just wanted to make
certain that you knew; you’re
invited!
Serving with you,
Oh No, Shrove Tuesday
Again?
It was Shrove Tuesday and Mrs Thomas
was making pancakes for her sons, Aaron
6, and Kelvin 8.
As usual, the brothers began to argue
over who should get the first pancake.
Their mother saw a wonderful opportu-
nity for a moral lesson.
'If Jesus were sitting at the table, He
would say, "Let my brother have the first
pancake".'
Quick as a flash Kelvin turned to Aaron
and said, 'Aaron, today you can be Jesus!'
Just because “Patch” doesn’t go for
the pancakes, don’t let that stop
you!
We are heading into our Lent season
with thoughts of “whole wellness”,
mind, body, and soul. So let’s make
a point of getting our “act together”.
Use your Shrove Tuesday wisely, the
Trinity Youth are hosting a Pancake
Supper Tuesday, March 8 from 5:00
pm to 7:30 pm in the Gathering
Room.
Come get the “fat” thoughts out of
your system before we begin our 40
steps. Bring everyone in the family,
Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and
all the kids, pack up the car and
come on in! The food will be great
and the fellowship will be wonder-
ful. See you here for pancakes and
all the fixin’s.

To our Trinity Family, We want to extend our sincere thanks to all who have supported us with phone calls, notes, cards and your concerns following our daughter, Julie's, auto accident. We have felt God's GRACE showered on us and we appreciate each of you. Thank you again for all you have done and continue to do. In Christ's Love, Ed and Fran Stephenson
It is of no purpose for
you to rise up early
and go to bed late,
eating the bread of

6 musical opportunities
“Dreams…we all have dreams…” Join our Children’s Choirs as they
lead us into Lent with their musical The Tale of the Three Trees
written by Allen Pote and Tom Long. The cantata is based on a classic
American folk tale in which three young trees have big dreams for
their future. They are surprised to learn that God’s loving plan for
them is much greater than they imagined. The presentation will be in
the sanctuary of Trinity Lutheran Church on Saturday evening March
5th
at 5:00 pm, and on Sunday morning March 6th
at 8:45 am.

Just wondering about Egypt.
What comes to mind when you think of Egypt? Probably
it is the news of the past week – political unrest, protest,
violence and a very uncertain future. But one could also
think of the ancient pyramids at Giza just outside Cairo or
the Egyptian Antiquities Museum --home to the remains of
pharaohs, the Gold Mask of King Tut and other ancient
treasures.
I have been thinking about all of the Bible references to
Egypt. There are over 600 of them, most of which are in
the Old Testament. The first reference is Genesis 12:10—
“Now there was a famine in the land.
So Abram went down to Egypt to
reside there as an alien.” So we learn
that at the urging of God the great
patriarch of our faith fled to Egypt
with his wife Sarai (they weren’t
Abraham and Sarah yet) to find food, a
new life and a promise.
Genesis 37 tells the story of Joseph
being sold by his brothers and taken to
Egypt where he found great favor with
his Egyptian master and eventually
was made steward over all of Egypt.
Joseph, one of God’s great and wise
leaders, remained in Egypt where he
died (at the age of 110) and was buried - according to
God’s promise given to Abraham.
Moses was born in Egypt and soon was called by God to
lead the chosen people who “groaned under Egyptian
slavery.” Moses led them out of Egypt through
persistence, courage and trust in God, surviving even the
terrible plagues. It was in Egypt at the end of the plagues
that Moses instituted the first Passover which today is
fulfilled in our celebration of Holy Communion. The
people escaped through the Red Sea to forty years of
wilderness wandering before finally going into the
Promised Land – although Moses was denied that joy.
In Matthew’s gospel we hear, “Now after they (the wise
men) had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a
dream and said; Get up, take the child and his mother, and
flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is
about to search for the child, to destroy him.”
Hopefully we can see from these few references how
important Egypt was, and I believe, is to a master plan for
God’s people -- a plan that reveals God’s will for safety,
abundant provision and freedom from tyranny. All of
which seem threatened at this time.
Just wondering if Hosni Mubarak is a modern pharaoh and
if the people of Egypt and their allies can find a way to
revisit biblical history and trust God’s plan for security and
freedom.
Pastor Kirk Havel, Ret.,
2119 Middle Haven Dr., Gladwin, MI 48624;

Living Last Supper ArtLiving Last Supper Art
The art created by Kenneth Wyatt for the
Living Last Supper is on display in the lobby
by the coffee café. When you get a chance
to walk past, take a moment to stop and
look into the display case and read the
current information on the disciple’s
picture. Each week Lew Willertz has been
changing these pictures to bring this art to
our attention. Thank you Lew and Joan
Willertz, and Anita Phillips for creating the
beautiful display. Thank you Lew for your
ministry that brings The Living Last Supper
to our church each year. Don’t miss one of
this year’s presentations on either April 20th
or April 21st at 7:30 pm. We are blessed to
have Lew’s attention and devotion to the
ministry of the Living Last Supper.

Trinity's adult handbell choir was
formed in 1999 under the direction of
Tim Hendrickson. Beginning with three
octaves of bells purchased with
generous memorial and gift donations,
rehearsals began in September of that
year, and the first presentation to the
congregation, the hymn Holy, Holy,
Holy, was rung in October. Rousing
applause erupted upon the conclusion
of their first effort as the ringers
breathed a sigh of relief that they
actually began and ended at the same
time and that the congregation
seemed to recognize the tune!
Many of the initial ringers had never
seen up close, let alone rung, a
handbell until that first rehearsal. All
the musical symbols of bellringing
were new, and even though most
ringers read music, the difficulty was to
just play the right note at the right
time. It was fun, it was challenging,
and look how far the handbell choir
has come, now offering music with five
octaves of bells and seven octaves of
chimes as well. Eventually choosing the
name JuBELLation, and having
celebrated its 10th anniversary a few
months ago with a special worship
service, the group looks forward to
continual advancement in technique
and meaningful presentations for
Trinity's congregation.
Following the original director, Tim
Hendrickson, Dave Winegardner
stepped in to direct the choir for four
years, Roberta Houston directed
another group, and beginning in the
summer of 2008, Dianne Schoenfeld
Granstra became the current director
of the handbell program. First
rehearsals in 1999 were in the lower
level of the church, but because of
the difficulties in moving equipment
up and down between floors, the
current conference room upstairs
became a bell room, and finally those
two rooms exchanged places last
year, and our bell room is still over-
flowing. But that's a good problem
to have with so many dedicated
ringers, bells and chimes to
accommodate them.
The entire program of bellringing has
expanded to include the Rainbow
Ringers (the little kids), High Chimes
Choir (elementary school group), Mid
-High Bell Choir (6th thru 12th
graders), and Joyful Noise beginning
choir. The Singing Bells, a smaller
ensemble of handbells, offers
musical presentations occasionally in
worship, at nursing homes and senior
residences, as well as other private
parties or organizations.
Just think, Trinity did not have a
handbell choir for 56 years! And now
look and listen to the wonderful
musical and worshipful expression of
these outstanding ringers. Thanks to
all of them and to all others who have
supported their musical efforts,
especially patient and helpful spouses
and parents and friends.

history alive
10 youth calendarFebruary was a very busy month! All of the youth enjoyed a momentary slow down with two snow days in
a row early this month! I know it gave me a chance to catch my breath! We had fun bowling and going to
the Rock and Worship Roadshow. As the year goes on, we are really building relationships and learning to
work together as a team. I can see a nice sense of community forming where it once was not as prevalent.
March is bringing another very busy month our way! We are looking forward to our last winter retreat at
Springhill for Trinity Teens and the Spring Break Mission Trip to Grand Rapids and Chicago for Sr. LYO. I am
even more excited that summer is creeping closer! We have over 20 Trinity Teens signed up to go to
Confirmation Camp at Stony Lake this summer--an increase from last year! We also have over 30 Sr LYO
signed up to go on our mission trip to Middletown, Ohio mid-July! It is exciting to see the life in our youth
here at Trinity. They are able to say that even though it is still a ways until summer, their faith life is
important and they will block off weeks of time to spend in fellowship and service with one another! We
cannot thank the Trinity family enough for all of the support that they have given the youth!
Don't Forget! Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper! This is a dinner that will be served by the youth (youth
this is a chance to earn a little money for your youth account!) on Shrove Tuesday. Cost will be a free will
donation. Dinner will run from 5-7:30. We hope to see you all there, this is a GREAT opportunity to
support our youth and get your fill of milk and eggs before Lent! Any questions, please contact Hilary at
631.0692 or [email protected].
