Dear Friends,

This is an exciting time at Trinity. We are prepar-

ing for the service on Saturday, June 9 at 3:00 p.m.

The church used to call it “The Installation of a Rec-

tor.” We now describe it as “The Renewal of Minis-

try with the Welcoming of a New Rector.” The ser-

vice takes place within the context of baptism and

the mutual ministry of rector and people.

One sartorial note: Gentlemen (and ladies) wear

your bow ties on June 9 to make my father, a fellow

bow tie fan, feel welcome!

Like Trinity, the Diocese of Lexington is also ex-

cited. The Standing Committee has announced the

candidates for Bishop. They will visit Kentucky in

July followed by the electing convention in August.

To help prepare the diocese, Bishop Knudsen has put

together a video series on what it means to be a bish-

op. You can find the series at the Diocese’s YouTube

channel (diolexky) or scan the QR code below

We will also watch the series on the following

Sundays: June 10 (Part One) & June 17 (Part Two)

and July 15 (Part Three) & July 22 (Part Four) with a

discussion to follow each segment. We will begin

shortly after the 10 a.m. service, gathering in the

multipurpose room near the top of the main stair-

case.

On a national level, the Episcopal Church’s trien-

nial General Convention meets from July 5-12 in In-

dianapolis. Given the city’s proximity, we will take

the opportunity to attend the General Convention

Eucharist on Sunday, July 8. (Trinity will still have

services.) The Eucharist starts at 9:30; we will leave

(via car pool) at 6:30 a.m. Following the Eucharist,

we have lunch and most likely arrive in Covington

late in the afternoon. There will be a sign-up sheet

outside the May Room; if we have enough interest

we may charter a bus rather than car pooling.

As you can see, Trinity shows no signs of slowing

down for the summer—July will bring us Reading

Camp and Vacation Bible School, and I am sure we

will dream up other activities for August!

In Christ,

Peter

Pastoral Care at Trinity

Reflections and Infor-

mation from Linda

Pastoral Care is one of my areas of

responsibility here at Trinity. As

such, I wanted to say a bit about

what Pastoral Care is (and what it

IS NOT) to clarify and free up any

misconceptions about it as we

move forward.

Pastoral Care IS the Communi-

ty’s reaching out to its own mem-

bers, to bring God’s care and con-

cern in times of crisis. You notice

that I specifically used the word

“Community” because God’s heal-

ing is offered on behalf of and

through Community and as such,

is the responsibility of all of us

here at Trinity.

Pastoral Care is NOT psycholog-

ical counseling, emergency medi-

cal treatment, therapy, psychic

healing or management of the

prayer list. As a trained Spiritual

Director, I am more than happy to

meet with anyone who would like

to talk. This doesn’t need to be

about “spiritual” issues per se, but

I firmly believe that all of our life is

connected so that when one part of

our life is hurting, our spiritual life

hurts as well. We are whole and

holistic people.

I am NOT a psychologist or psy-

chiatrist, and as such I cannot do

therapy. I AM trained to recog-

nize when someone needs to see a

therapist and can assist with refer-

rals.

Often people think of Pastoral

Care when they have a medical

emergency or serious medical

problems. I AM happy to visit peo-

ple in the hospital to offer prayers

for healing, anointing with the Oil

of Healing, or to help decipher the

medical jargon that can be over-

whelming when decisions have to

be made about a loved ones care.

I am NOT psychic, so I need to

be informed when those services

are needed--even if you think that

“everyone at Trinity” knows--that

doesn’t necessarily mean that I

know--that this care is desired and

needed. I respect each person’s

privacy, and that means that if you

want a priest to visit, I will be hap-

py to come, but I need to be in-

formed. (I cannot go when some-

one, not a family member or close

friend, tells me I “should” go--

some people, when they see a

priest come into the room, think

the worst--”I must be really bad

off, they called the priest!”) So

please ask their permission, if

practical, so as not to cause a sick

person further anxiety.

All this being said, I AM only

one person--ordination has not

bestowed upon me (or any other

priest I know) the ability to be in

two or three places at once. Peter is

happy to help with pastoral care,

and he’s good at it too, but in a

parish the size of Trinity it is usu-

ally not the Rector’s primary re-

sponsibility. (Two things that are

the rector’s primary responsibility

are being the resident theologian

and equipping the congregation for

their ministries.)

We have members of the con-

gregation who have been called

and licensed to help in bringing

Communion to those who are not

able to come join the community

on Sunday: these are the Eucharis-

tic Visitors. If you (or a friend or

relative of yours who is a member

of the congregation) would like to

receive Communion but cannot

come to church, please call the of-

fice and I will contact you to set it

up. Our Eucharistic Visitors are

scheduled on a monthly basis and

right now we have an approxi-

mately 6 week interval between

visits. We are working to get peo-

ple visited on a monthly basis but

that means we need more volun-

teers with the gifts necessary to

visit the home bound.

If you think you may be gifted

for this ministry, or just want to

talk about it, please call me and I

would be happy to talk to you

about it. Mulford Martin is the co-

ordinator and scheduler of the Eu-

charistic Visitors. He will be con-

tacting them to arrange a meeting

and “brush up” training in the near

future.

We would also like to organize a

hospital/shut in visitor group, who

would simply visit in the name of

Trinity Parish. I know that many of

you already visit one another in the

hospital, displaying an enormous

amount of care for each other, and

this would be a way to recognize

the ministry you are already doing-

-though you might not have ever

thought to call it ministry! Some-

times, there are people we become

aware of who have no one to visit

them--we would love to have peo-

ple who could be there for these

individuals when they need it. We

will talk more about organizing

this group in the fall.

If you have an emergency that

requires a priest (and for each of

us that is different) and it is during

parish office hours (M-F 9-4) just

call the office and Camille will

know how to reach us--please tell

her it is an Emergency!

The Season of Pentecost

We celebrated the feast of Pentecost on the last Sunday of May. Often called the birthday of

the church, it commemorates the day when the followers of Jesus received the Holy Spirit.

The writer of the Book of Acts describes how tongues of flame appeared above the disciples’

heads, and for this reason the liturgical color of the day is red. The first Sunday of June we

will celebrate the feast of the Trinity, which is a concept rather than an event or a person

that we remember on most feast days. Following this we settle in for the Sundays after Pen-

tecost. Its informal name is the “long green season of ‘ordinary time’”—ordinary in that not

much special, few major feasts, occur until the season ends with the beginning of Advent, which in 2012 oc-

curs on the first Sunday in December, after almost six months of “ordinary time.”

Peter

Vergers

Most attentive churchgoers would agree that the character of worship guided by priests who are focused and

spiritually centered differs perceptively from worship conducted by priests who are continually distracted by

the mechanics of the service. After all, how can ministers effectively elevate the hearts and minds of their

congregation if they themselves remain so rooted in earthly matters? It is only when freed from these logisti-

cal concerns that the clergy can commit their full attention to the serious business of praising God. In an at-

tempt to foster greater liturgical professionalism and deepen the spiritual character of their worship, it is not

surprising then that a growing number of Episcopal Churches are rediscovering the ministry of the verger.

Though often associated more with their ceremonial role within the procession, the true ministry of the mod-

ern verger is performed behind the scenes. Acting as a liturgical master-of-ceremonies, vergers consult with

altar guilds, acolytes, choristers, lectors, and other members of the worship team to ensure that services pro-

ceed with precision and grace. The questions, problems and concerns that might otherwise be directed to a

priest are instead addressed by a verger. This ministry is especially vital during weddings and other special

services when the use of non-standard liturgical forms and the participation of visiting clergy and families

can generate confusion and disorder.

Over the past few weeks, Peter has been working with a small group of volunteers who will comprise the first

members of Trinity’s Verger Guild. As they work to complete a training program focused on the Anglican li-

turgical traditional and local practices, these vergers will slowly be introduced into Sunday services. Rather

than signaling a change in our worship style, the institution of vergers signals an important move toward en-

hancing the quality of our worship and the effectiveness of our clergy.

Justin Gabbard

After hours, you can reach us at the following pastoral emergency number: 859-414-0990. We ask

that you use this number for after hour emergencies only and leave a message on the parish phone for other

matters. In an emergency, please leave a message and the priest on call will get back to you as soon as they

can. Please understand that we have our own emergencies too, and may not be able to pick up the phone im-

mediately to call you back. Our local hospitals have wonderful chaplains who can be of service to you until

one of us can get there, just ask.

I hope this clarifies some of the questions that you might have about Pastoral Care. As you can see, there

is much to talk about, and we’ve only scratched the surface. Feel free to talk to me if you have questions.

UNITED THANK OFFERING

Dear Trinity Family, It’s time once again for Trinity to show its generosity. Sunday, May 20 was the date selected by the diocese for spring gathering of United Thank Offering gifts. This is one of two annual UTO requests sponsored by Episcopal Church Women. Envelopes were collected on Sunday, May 20. However, you may also mail your gift to Trinity Episcopal Church, 16 East 4th Street, Covington, KY 41011, noting United Thank Offering on the memo line. Trinity Church Covington has always been among the most generous churches in the diocese. Let us continue to consider the needs of others as our UTO gifts are used within the local community and worldwide. Thank you for sharing your blessings with others. Sincerely, Peggy Lietzenmayer Trinity Episcopal Church Women

MIDDAY MUSICAL MENU: Thank you to all who helped with the luncheons this past season. Thank

you to the musicians from Trinity who performed on the series. Thank you to all who supported the series

with your attendance or by telling your friends and neighbors about it and encouraging them to attend.

A special thank you to those who helped with the May luncheon of barbeque, cole slaw, and chips with

strawberry shortcake for dessert: Bonnie Smyth, Linda Tabeling, Mary Austin, Judy Kennedy, Libby Baker,

Sandra Kraft, Lily McCraven, Don Will, Don Neff, Dennis Kelley, Jim Swearingen, and Richard Putthoff. The

2012-2013 season will begin on Wednesday, September 19 (always the third Wednesday of the month).

Another musical thank you to Bob and Donna Deal for preparing the wine and cheese receptions after

Evensong in 2012.

SUMMER CHOIR: There will be a Summer Choir on the first Sundays of July and August (July 1 and

August 5). Those interested in singing meet by the organ at 9:30 am to rehearse and then reassemble at the

time of the offertory to sing. Selections are usually hymns. Sing one or both Sundays!

ARE YOU

READY TO ROCK?

“It is far easier to build strong children than to re-

pair broken adults.”

Frederick Douglass

In a few short months, the halls of Trinity Church will

be filled with the sound of children discovering new

characters, embarking on new adventures and making

new friends. Trinity will once again host the Northern

Kentucky Reading Camp from July 16-20, 2012. The

Steering Committee, made up of members of the

Northern Kentucky churches, has been working tire-

lessly to plan and prepare for this week. However, in

order to be successful, WE NEED YOU!

Volunteers are needed for teaching, decorating, craft-

ing, preparing and serving meals, chaperoning, driv-

ing, and taking photographs during Reading Camp.

We also have a special need for teenaged or young

adult counselors. Counselors are an important part of

the camp experience. Our campers look up to you.

There is a job for every volunteer during the camp.

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, a half day, even an hour.

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 application as soon as possible!

If you cannot attend camp, there are many other ways

you can help:

·Do you know a child entering the 3rd, 4th, or 5th

grade this fall that could benefit from our pro-

gram? No qualifying child is turned away and

the camp is FREE! Contact Gee Gaither at 859

-331-1632 or [email protected] for more

information on the recruitment process.

·Crafty? Creative? Know your way around a hot

glue gun? Do you spend more time on Pinter-

est than you care to admit? We have picked a

great theme this year: The Chronicles of Nar-

nia! We need your help in creating this magi-

cal realm for the kids! Our decorating party

will be held the Saturday before camp: July 14,

2012 from 9am-2pm. We bring the supplies,

you bring your imagination! For more infor-

mation contact Katharine Piaskowy

([email protected]) or Natalie

Gabbard ([email protected]).

·Write letters to campers. Children love to receive

mail while at camp. No one wants to be left out

during Mail Call. Bring your letters to Trinity

on July 15 (the Sunday before Reading Camp).

To personalize letters, contact Gee Gaither at

859-331-1632 or [email protected] for

names of campers.

·Donate a book. Each camper takes home a satch-

el of books. For some, these are the first books

they have ever owned. See the list below for

suggested titles. These can be donated all the

way up to the last day of camp!

For more information on any of the volunteer oppor-

tunities for Reading Camp or the volunteer applica-

tion process, please contact Katharine Piaskowy

([email protected]) or Natalie Gabbard

([email protected]).

And remember…..

Lock-in on May 5th and 6th. The group also played a

rousing game of “aliens vs. townspeople”, danced,

watched movies and got “very little sleep.”

Garden Mart on May 11-12

The Garden Mart at Trinity was a great success. A great

many of our friends, families and neighbors came and

bought beautiful plants, our Trinity family had great fun

working together and we made approximately $5000 to

support our gardens and contribute to St. Paul’s Food

Pantry.

We see our gardens as both an adornment of our wor-

ship space and as a place where we meet and welcome

our Covington community.

Thank you everyone!

Parish People

Meet Betty Herriman

Often we ask our church friends if they are

“cradle Episcopalians”. Well, in our midst, for forty-

two years, we’ve had a “cradle Anglican”. Betty Her-

riman, born in London, England, now an adoptive

Kentuckian, is someone so interesting, so traveled,

so charming, if you haven’t met her, you’ve missed a

Trinity treasure.

Over the course of twelve years, Betty served in

the Peace Corps in Cameroon, Burundi and Mali,

assisting people to start and maintain small busi-

nesses. At one point, she received a $5000 gift from

a wealthy benefactor which allowed her to continue

this work in Guinea. It is fascinating to hear her de-

scribe some of these experiences. Ask her about sell-

ing hard boiled eggs or how to explain the difference

between income and profit. She also did similar

work for the International Executive Service Corpo-

ration, funded by the United States Department of

State. There’s a pertinent story from this experience

too.

The child of WWII, she remembers living under

“The Blitz”. Her mother, she said, was furious at the

Germans for always bombing while her daughters

were having their bath. As a student in a proper Eng-

lish girls’ school (white gloves and all), Betty was

strictly instructed not to talk to American soldiers.

She says she is so grateful to her father, a POW in

WWI, for teaching her and her sister that England

was fighting the Nazi government, not the Germans.

Inclusiveness is a lesson she learned early and well.

Her daughter Kathy lives in London now as she has

for the past 30+ years. Betty plans a visit there in

July.

Betty is an “eight o’clocker” so perhaps you’ve

missed seeing her though you would not have missed

her British accent. She came to Trinity when she

moved to the Covington area about 43 years ago. She

enjoys working at the Rummage Sale and the Garden

Mart as she has done for many years. You might also

catch her at an Evensong which she attends regular-

ly. Betty is truly one of our most gracious sisters-in-

Christ. Although she bemoans the aches, pains and

forgetfulness which come with age, when she was

asked what she’d like engraved on her tombstone,

she replied, “Thank you”.
