Following a blis-

tering summer mixed

with rain and strong

winds, the Trinity UMC

family prepares for the

fall season with an ar-

ray of activities all in

the name of the love of

the Lord.

There were many

physical changes on

the church campus dur-

ing the summer, in-

cluding a makeover of

the entrance to provide

improved security. The

latest addition was a

new Entrance signage

fabricated and installed

by Alan Riddle, hus-

band of Society of St.

Stephen golf chairman

Rhonda Miller, which

will better direct wor-

shipers into the Sanctu-

ary.

The fall schedule

the many ministries that the

church undertakes. This

event will be held in the Fel-

Bazaar on Oct. 6, the Pastor

Appreciation and Welcome

Lay Servant Ministries Classes Offered

Trinity’s Rev. Khalif

Smith has written an ad-

vanced class course entitled,

“Living the Vision,” for the

Lay Servant Ministries Acade-

my of the North District of

the Desert Southwest Confer-

ence.

The course is based on

the conference vision which

was adopted at the 2016 An-

nual Conference, “God calls

us to be a courageous

church, loving like Jesus, act-

ing for justice, united in

hope.”

The basic course,

“Introduction to Lay Minis-

try,” and the advanced class

will be offered at Trinity on

Friday and Saturday, Sept. 7-

8, with the deadline to regis-

ter for either course by Satur-

day, Sept. 1. Each course fee

is $10. Friday’s gathering will

be from 6 to 9 p.m. and Sat-

urday it will be from 9 a.m.

to 4 p.m.

Rev. Smith will be leading

the advanced class and has

written the leader’s guide/

study guide to accompany

the advanced class textbook,

“The Speed of Trust: The One

Thing that Changes Every-

thing,” by Stephen M.R. Cov-

ey. The leader of the basic

class is pending.

Participants are responsible for pur-

chasing and reading the text in advance

Rev. Khalif Smith, who will be teaching an ad-

vanced Lay Servant Ministries class at Trinity in

September, baptizes Deja Clunsell and her in-

fant Carter James Ballard in worship on Sunday,

Aug. 19.

of the course. Check for

either textbook at re-

tailers such as Cokes-

bury and Amazon.

In the basic class,

completing this course

is the first step in be-

coming a Certified Lay

Servant. Participants are

encouraged to discover

and employ personal

spiritual gifts as God

intended.

The purpose of the

advanced class is to

promote, advance and

educate the laity of the

ongoing effort to imple-

ment the compelling

vision for growth and

vitality within the con-

ference.

Flyers will be availa-

ble at Trinity to regis-

ter.

Registrar, at 702-649-

The Tranquility Garden

team reminds the congrega-

tion that the memorial bricks

program is still accepting

special pavers in the medita-

tion spiral and labyrinth walk-

way located near the Society

of St. Stephen building.

The walkway includes pre-

viously purchased engraved

pavers under a central fruit-

less olive tree, a sign of

peace in a busy world. This

space is meant to serve as a

place to remember, honor,

celebrate, and contemplate.

The church office can

show you how to design and

purchase an engraved paver

to become part of our legacy

of remembrances. The bricks

have already been purchased

and are ready to be engraved

with your special message.

The pavers come in two

sizes. The 4x8 brick has a do-

nation price of $50 and the

8x8 brick is $75.

Forms are available in the

church office or talk to a rep-

resentative at the Missions Fair

planned for Sunday, Sept. 30

after worship.

Legacy Youth Wrap-up Summer Activities

The Legacy Youth started

the summer with a field day at

Aloha Shores park partnered

with Journey UMC’s youth

group. The Trinity youth par-

ticipated in fun games with

water balloons and races, en-

joyed fellowship and lunch

from the grill.

Next, Steve and Darlene

Goldstein hosted the youth for

a pool party at their home.

Great fun was had flipping,

belly flopping, games of chick-

en, again dinner from the grill,

and the finish was Darlene’s

amazing ice cream desert.

Finally, the United Method-

ist Men of Trinity planned a

night out at the ballpark and

extended an invitation to the

youth. The 51s hosted the New

Mexico minor league AAA

team at Cashman Field and Las

Vegas absolutely thrashed the

visitors, 12-0, with multiple

home runs, a grand slam, an

inside the park home run, and

topped off with fireworks.

The Youth had a great time

enjoying some fellowship with

the men of the church, not to

mention it was the first time

some of them had been to a

baseball game. Youth Director

Mike Ford said the youth had a

wonderful summer and are

looking forward to the fall to

deepen their commitments to

God and to strengthen their

faith.

“We are truly blessed to

have the support of the

church,” said the youth leader.

All youth parents are invit-

ed to drop by Room 10 on

Sunday, Sept. 16 after worship

for a Youth open house. Lunch

will be provided and it will be a

time to ask questions and find

out about the youth program.

UMW Plans Fall Luncheon

In the August issue, a pub-

lished story reported that

Trinity UMC served as the

host of a meeting for the Ne-

vadans for the Common Good

Delegate Assembly.

The June 26 meeting

brought together various

groups throughout the Las

Vegas Valley to pledge finan-

cial support for the work of

the social organization.

The eleven Trinity mem-

bers in attendance discussed

how much funding Trinity

would provide for 2018 and a

plan to raise these funds. It

was decided to pledge $500

which is an amount it has

tried to give each year since

the start of NCG as an-

nounced at the meeting.

However, Trinity’s Mary

Lovelady, who was out of

town at the time of the event

and has helped support the

church’s cause in this city-

wide endeavor, wanted to

clarify this point. According to

the former chair of the Society

of St. Stephen ministry, Trinity

has actually yearly pledged

$1,000 since 2010.

The former educator also

pointed out Trinity was one of

the first churches to financial-

ly pledge support for the Ne-

vadans for the Common Good

cause.

To find out more about

this social organization, go to

www.nevadansforthecommon

good.org.

NV for Common Good Update

The United Methodist Women of Trinity

will have its first function of the fall sea-

son with a Potluck Luncheon on Wednes-

day, Sept 12, at noon in the Fellowship

Hall. The group usually meets the third

Wednesday of assigned months but will

instead meet the second Wednesday of

September.

The UMW Executive Board meeting will

be held earlier in the day in Room 3 at 10

a.m. Donna Canfield, the organization’s

president, encourages all women of the

church to attend this “kick-off” meeting.

All officers are kindly asked to attend the

Board meeting, but ANYONE is invited to

come to both meetings!

Your input is valued. Please bring your

favorite dish to share for the noon lunch-

eon — either a main dish, salad or dessert. If you don’t

like to cook, stop at your local deli and pick up some-

thing to share.

The Executive Board will provide the fall decorations

and tableware and refreshments for the occasion. The

two programs at the Fellowship meeting after the lunch-

eon will be given by Jo Ann Magner (Pledge Program)

and Donna Canfield (Prayer and Self-Denial).

Come join the women of the church for fun, food and

fellowship!

Meanwhile, it will be nearly six months away

when the direction of The United Methodist

Church will be discussed at the Special Session

of the General Conference in February 2019

over the issue of LGBTQ inclusion.

The 93-page final report by the Commission

on a Way Forward has been officially released on

a worldwide basis detailing the three proposed

plans (One Church Plan, Connectional Confer-

ence Plan and Traditional Plan).

Not only are there theological differences in

the UMC, but numerous other proposals also

have been officially submitted for consideration

and will be subject to debate and amending at

General Conference. Ultimately, what is adopted

at General Conference may be dramatically dif-

ferent from any of these plans. What’s more, a

two-thirds majority is required to adopt any

change from current standards.

Holy Huddles will be held by the Desert

Southwest Conference throughout the fall for

only pastors and then for both laity and clergy.

The North District will be hosting Holy Hud-

dles at Trinity UMC in December in the Sanctu-

ary. At 10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 7, it will be a

Huddle for only clergy and then the next day at

1 p.m. a Huddle will be held for everyone inter-

ested in discussing how the UMC and Trinity

will proceed regarding LGBTQ.
