From the Pastor’s Desk September 2021
GREETINGS IN THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS, OUR
SAVIOR AND REDEEMER!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2021
This year’s Vacation Bible School theme of “Rocky Railway:
Jesus Pulls Us Through” was held for (3) evenings this year
(August 3-5th) and was filled with excitement and “locomotion
commotion” to say the least!
We, once again, invited St. John’s Lutheran Church, Mahoning,
to join us, and under our Co-Directors Julia Kelm from Trinity
and Kim Gerhard from St. John’s, all the children had a great
time traveling on the imaginary train stopping at each of the
following stations along the way: the Station for Music and
Dance with Susan Lovejoy, the Bible Station with sand art
depictions of each Bible story with Pastor Moore & Beverly
Mills, the Crafts Station with Ashley Christman, Ava Beers,
Timara Klotz and Kay Paterson, the Games Station with Mark &
Diane Hoffman, the Snack Station with Corine Shaffer, Edith
Kunkle, Sandy Muffley, Sarah Dalton, Bonnie Vito and Talin
Fairchild as the Conductor of the “Swedish Fish Delivery Train.”
Thank you to all the Crew Leaders Rhonda Rupell, Tara Derr,
Chris Marshall, Sue Solt, Rowan Schaeffer, and Makenna
Snyder who guided the children throughout the rotational
model. To the many who assisted Julia Kelm behind the scenes
with last minute schedule changes, all the decorations,
especially the Edmunds Family from our Food Pantry who
made our life-size train from cardboard and paint, to the folks at
the Registration Table who greeted the families each night Kay
Becker, Louise Sellers, Linda Williams and Denise Niehoff, and,
of course, Pete Balogach, our church sexton, who cleaned up
after us!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
September will, indeed, be a busy month as well at Trinity for a
number of reasons.

WELCOME VICAR SARAH MOORE
First, we officially welcomed Vicar Sarah Moore. Vicar Sarah
Moore hails from the United Lutheran Seminary, Gettysburg
campus and will be with us for one year. Vicar Sarah is our 4th
Intern here at Trinity since we entered in partnership with the
ELCA Seminaries in 2016. We held a Service of Installation on
Sunday, August 29, 2021 at our 9:30am Worship Service, and
we look forward to her past experience with Camp Ministry &
Acoustic Guitar, Choir, Communications, Vice-President of the
Seminary Student Body, and her most recent completion of
CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) or Chaplaincy training. Vicar
Sarah will be our Level One Confirmation Instructor, weekly
Youth Group Leader including planning & traveling with our
Youth to the 2022 ELCA National Youth Gathering in
Minneapolis, MN next summer. She will also be the Assisting
Minister on Sundays (& 1st Saturdays beginning in October) and
preaching monthly during her first semester with us.
I look forward to a productive internship as her supervisor. To
avoid any miscommunications or misunderstandings, please do
not hesitate to ask me or Julia Kelm, Internship Committee
Chairperson should any questions or concerns arise while Vicar
Sarah is with us.
SUNDAY CHURCH SCHOOL
Second, we have re-organized our Sunday School Staff
and Children’s Special Events Programming. One of the major
changes is with the job tasks involving the Superintendent and
Assistant Superintendent. Ms. Julia Kelm, our Superintendent,
will now be focusing on Public Relations and Marketing which
means relationship building with our children and families as
well as building our weekly attendance through outreach and
evangelism to those children who might not have a Sunday
School to attend. Julia will continue to monitor and order the
Whirl Curriculum, stocking the classroom cabinets, and pack &
track the weekly snacks for the children, which were a hit during
the Drive-Thru model we utilized last year. Along the lines of
Administration, Christine Marshall has accepted the position of
Assistant Superintendent. With her experience at Air Products,
Chris will be using her computer skills to streamline the often
more tedious tasks of administration. Chris’ focus will be on
4
Registration, Attendance & Offering Tracking, Staffing &
Changes, and Inventory & Purchasing of Supplies. She will
work closely with Julia, Beverly Mills, our office secretary, and
myself. Chris has also agreed to be the Children’s Special
Events Co-Ordinator for our Annual Christmas Pageant and
Vacation Bible School. We welcome the business experience
and gifts Chris brings to us in these capacities.
As we say good-bye and a huge “thank you” to Mark
and Diane Hoffman, who taught the 1st & 2nd Grade Class for
several years, we welcome onboard Ms. Ashley Christman,
Youth Rep. to Council and a previous helper in VBS and
Sunday School as she learns the objectives of teaching with the
help of Chris Marshall. Ms. Sue Solt will be her classroom
assistant. We are also in need of a Co-Teacher with Beverly
Mills in the 5th & 6th Grade Class to teach on a weekly basis with
Bev while Melissa Kester is currently on a Leave of Absence. If
you are a retired teacher or past SS teacher feeling called to
work with the children at this grade level, please pray about it,
discern about it, and, subsequently, contact Christine Marshall
through the church office. The current guidelines require us to
have at least one adult and/or one other teacher or helper in
each classroom and background checks on file.
September will most certainly be a busy month, but we always
to look to our triune God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
to guide us each step of the way!
Sincerely in Christ who strengthens us,
Reverend Nancy L. Moore, Pastor

CONGREGATION COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS
August 12, 2021
Actions/discussion that took place:
• Approved the monthly financial reports of the treasurer and the
financial secretary. July bills paid were $33,383.16; income was
$6,520.00; pass-through was $6,150.20; deficit was $20,712.96; two
transfers from the Moyer account were $15,000.00 each to cover the
deficit and to open a new checking account at Mauch Chunk Trust.
Envelope offerings continue to be under budget. Transfers from the
Moyer account are under budget also. Donations toward the
roof/steeple are $6,277.00. The balance in the Escrow account
$16,635.81, and the balance in the Memorial account is $19,594.87.
• Pr. Moore reported that regarding COVID restrictions, she does not
believe that facemasks are necessary; but that it will continue to be the
parishioners’ choice. There will still be no fellowship in Luther Hall.
COVID precautions will continue to be practiced and will be recurring
discussions for Council until the pandemic is under control.
• Pr. Moore also received approval to include one St. John’s 2nd yr.
confirmation student because of their pastoral vacancy. She also
reported that Ashley Christman and Susan Solt volunteered to teach
the 1st and 2nd grade Sunday School class.
• Property Committee reported that the deterioration of the steeple base
was greater than anticipated before the removal causing an increase in
the repair cost of $7,800. Approval was granted for the additional.
Also, they have two estimates for the replacement of gutters and
downspouts under consideration. They are also looking into
discussions with several companies for consideration of HVAC
services. Shawn Keiser reported that the smoke detectors will be
replaced and that his employer will supply new ones at their cost.
• Noted that Trinity won the blue ribbon at the Carbon County Fair for
the display, thanks to the effort of Mary Ann Hazel. Along with the blue
ribbon comes a $50 check. Mary Ann suggested to give it to World
Hunger, and it was approved. Thanks Mary Ann!!
Respectfully submitted,
Lee Becker, Council Secretary

WORLD HUNGER DONATIONS …
Total donations received for the month of July
was $ 252.00 for a year to day total of
$ 2,502 toward our 2021 goal of $4,000.
Thank you to everyone for your continued
support to help feed our brothers and sisters in
need!!
If you are able, please help us reach our
yearly goal by making a monthly donation.
Any amount is appreciated. An envelope is
included in your offering packets. Any
amount is appreciated!
LABORING FOR THE LORD
For many people, the pandemic redefined work, with more
employees logging hours from a home office — or kitchen
table. Boundaries between job and personal life blurred, as did
any sense of being “off duty.”
Most of us prefer clear divisions between our tasks and time.
While such separations may help with scheduling, they are
artificial human constructs. “Whatever your task,” says
Colossians 3:23 (NRSV, emphasis added) — whether in public or
private, family or job, spiritual or worldly activities — “put
yourselves into it as done for the Lord.” Verse 17 tells us to “do
everything” in Jesus’ name, “giving thanks to God the Father
through him.”
That means even work and worship interlock. As Rick Warren
writes, “Work becomes worship when you dedicate it to God
and perform it with an awareness of his presence.”

STEEPLE UPDATE
On Wednesday, August 4, 2021, I
received an email from the engineer in
charge of refurbishing our steeple
informing me there would be an additional
charge in the amount of $7,800 to fully re-
condition the steeple.
In answer to my asking for a full
explanation, I received an email from the
president of their marketing division,
explaining the cost increase. He explained
they had no way of knowing just how
deteriorated the interior of the steeple was.
Basically, the structural steel that supports the bell portion of the
steeple tower, (after being exposed to 48 years plus of wind
and rain, and weather extremes), needed to be replaced.
The underlying support will have to be re-enforced to accept the
weight of the bell. The steel used to attach the steeple to the
roof also needs replacing as most of it is rusted through.
On August 12, 2021, Council voted to accept the change order
and authorized the increased cost to complete the project. It
was generally agreed these changes were necessary.
Displayed in the Narthex on an easel you will see 6 photos their
engineers provided as proof of the damage. Please stop and
view them and see why we elected to proceed with the changes
in costs. The total picture is not as challenging as you may
suspect.
In financing this project, (along with the roof), we were given a
gift of $40,000 from the Social Ministry Committee, and we had
$50,000 in escrow from the loan on the Luther Hall roof, leaving
us just over $15,000 to pay off on the combined total. We
received another $2,000 from the Quilters group and through
the generosity of you, the members of our congregation, we
raised an additional $8000 to date in support of the project.
With these facts available to us, we felt that asking the
congregation to support the additional costs would be
acceptable.
10One fundraising project we would like to bring before the
congregation is the sale of the Eagle “snow catchers” from the
old roof. With the advent of Asphalt shingles, these are no
longer needed to keep snow from sliding off the roof. They will
be available to any member for $ 25.00 to keep as a memento.
They are on display in the narthex.
If you are able, any monetary donation would be appreciated to
help defray the costs. Checks can be made payable to TELC
and note in the memo “steeple and roof fund”.
The steeple with the bell calling our congregation to worship
has been a part of Trinity since 1872, and this particular bell is a
memorial to a member of our congregation, dedicated in 1910.
Please continue to support this piece of Trinity’s and, of course,
Lehighton’s history.
Our steeple was safely transported to Campbellsville, KY on
Thursday, July 22nd to be repaired. The new roof was
completed on July 29th.
As of August 9th, a total of $10,892 has been raised so far!
Thank you for your support of these projects!
Sincerely: (Al Sellers, Property committee co-chair)

September is back to school
time for the children at Jack and
Jill Preschool!
On September 7, the preschool will
open its doors to the 2021-2022 class of
preschoolers. The teachers are excited
to get to know these wonderful little
people and to guide them as they find out how much fun and
learning they have in store for them in the upcoming preschool
term.
There are still vacancies in the primary class for any child
from the community who is at least three old by September 1,
2021 and two years away from beginning kindergarten. Please
call the preschool: 610-377-6562 or send an email:
jackandjillpreschool@yahoo.com for more information. We
would love to include them in our educational journey.
We hope that the members of Trinity will include the staff
and teachers in your prayers as we begin the new term.
One way that you can support Jack and Jill preschool is
through donations. Each month we will list a few supplies we
need. They can be placed in a donation box on the side porch of
the preschool. This month’s supplies are hand cleaning wipes,
napkins, and hand sanitizer. We are grateful for your support.
Thank you.
THANK YOU so much for selecting me
to receive this generous scholarship! The
Jean D. & Robert A. Benner Nursing
Scholarship will help me with the
expenses of my first year attending
nursing school at Bloomsburg University.
With thanks and appreciation,

14Join Us for an Evening with Garrison Keillor
(Comedian/Singer)
Sunday, Oct 3, 2021 - 5:00 p.m.
Mauch Chunk Opera House
13 West Broadway
Jim Thorpe PA 18229
Garrison Keillor did “A Prairie Home Companion” for forty years,
wrote fiction and comedy, invented a town called Lake Wobegon
where all the children are above average, even though he himself
grew up evangelical in a small separatist flock where all the
children expected the imminent end of the world. He’s busy in
retirement, having written a memoir and a book of limericks and
is at work on a musical and a Lake Wobegon screenplay, and he
continues to do “The Writers Almanac,” sent out daily to Internet
subscribers (free).
He and his wife Jenny Lind Nilsson live in Minneapolis, not far
from the YMCA where he was sent for swimming lessons at age
12 after his cousin drowned, and he skipped the lessons and
went to the public library instead and to a radio studio to watch a
noontime show with singers and a band. Thus, our course in life
is set.
Trinity has reserved 2 rows located on the center floor section.
Cost is $38.75 per ticket.
Call 610-377-4303 or email the church office at
telc1872@ptd.net with your reservation no later than
Wednesday, September 15th. Checks are made payable to
TELC.
Transportation is on your own. There is no parking at the opera
house. You may park in the lot by the train station and use the
shuttle or walk to the opera house. Doors open at 4:00 p.m.

Thank you so much for the very

Howells leads into a new direction.
Thank you for the support, inspiration and good wishes that
were given at my retirement and for the extremely thoughtful
and generous gift. Jack and Jill will live in my heart forever.
Best Wishes,
Shelly
17TRINITY’S WOMEN OF THE ELCA
August 9, 2021
Prayer Vigil for Peace in the Middle East.
The Women of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod were
happy to meet on June 12 at Hope Lutheran Church in Tatamy
for their 31st. Annual convention. The theme was “What Does
The Lord Require of You? To Do List: 1. Act Justly, 2. Love
Mercy and 3. Walk Humbly With God” Micah 6:8. Bishop
Christopher 18eforest and Angel Bell, the churchwide
representative brought greetings by way of a virtual
presentation. Elections were held for board members and the
response was not good. They are asking our congregations to
please help to find someone with an interest in the Women of
the ELCA to serve on the board. You don’t need experience,
you will grow in the process! Please see one of our ladies:
Brenda Benner, Mary Ann Hazel and Shirley Radler who have
served on the board.
The 11th Triennial Convention of the Women of the ELCA met
by a virtual meeting on Aug. 5-8, 2021. This meeting was
postponed from July 14-16, 2020 because of the pandemic. Joy
Michalicek was elected president. Joy was the Churchwide
Board Representative at the 2019 Northeast Pennsylvania
Synod Convention held here at Trinity. She is from the
Northeastern Minnesota Synod. Angelia Bell was elected the
secretary. Angelia was the Churchwide Representative at our
NEPA Convention held at Tatamy. Angelia is from the Metro
Chicago Synod. There were changes made in size of Synodical
Boards and who can serve in a leadership position. For more
information you can visit the web site at welca.org.
Trinity’s Women of the ELCA ask you to please watch the
Trinity Trumpet or the bulletin for any upcoming events.

FINAL WORSHIP SERVICE AT GRACE …

Their final worship service will be held on Sunday, September
26th at 3p.m. All are welcome to attend. Please keep Emma
Weaver and the parishioners of Grace in your prayers.
21OUR HELP — PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
This month, America marks the 20th anniversary of the 9/11
terrorist attacks, which ended almost 3,000 lives and changed
life forever for millions more. The nation was shaken to its very
roots, with violence jolting out of us any assumption that “it
can’t happen here.” September 11 banished any lingering
notion that being on the side of “liberty and justice for all”
served as insulation against mass tragedy. We now had more to
fear than fear itself.
Psalm 46 reminds us that “though the earth should change” (v.
2) — as it did on 9/11 —God remains “our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble” (v. 1). We are never alone or
without hope, even on life-altering days.
How have God’s presence and power sustained you through
life’s changes? How might sharing your story help someone else
when their world or faith gets shaken?

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
We have handmade prayer shawls and lap robes available. If you
have a friend or relative who is ill and is in need of comfort or
healing, please call the church office to arrange a time to pick
one up. Prayer shawl ministry blesses both the people who
receive the shawls in their times of tribulation or celebration and
the knitters and crocheters who create them.
