Pastor Talk . . . From the Pen of Ben Lander

Trinity Talk September 2017

Fred Craddock was a seminary professor. Once, while he was lecturing at Yale

University, he told of going back one summer to Gatlinburg, TN, to take a short

vacation with his wife. One night they found a quiet little restaurant where they looked forward to a private meal.

While they were waiting for their meal they noticed a distinguished looking white-

haired man moving from table to table, visiting guests. Craddock whispered to his

wife, “I hope he doesn’t come over here.” He didn’t want the man to intrude on their

privacy.

But the man did come by his table. “Where you folks from?” he asked amicably.

“Oklahoma. I teach homiletics at the graduate seminary of Phillips University.”

“Oh, so you teach preachers, do you. Well, I’ve got a story I want to tell you.” And with that he pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with Craddock and his wife. Dr. Craddock groaned

inwardly. Oh, no, here comes another preacher story. It seems everyone has one.

The man stuck out his hand. “I’m Ben Hooper. I was born not far from here across the mountains. My

mother wasn’t married when I was born so I had a hard time. When I started to school my classmates had a

name for me, and it wasn’t a very nice name. I used to go off by myself at recess and during lunchtime because the taunts of my playmates cut so deeply.

“What was worse was going downtown on Saturday afternoon and feeling every eye burning a hole through

you. They were all wondering just who my real father was.

“When I was about 12 years old a new preacher came to our church. I would always go in late and slip out

early. But one day the preacher said the benediction so fast I got caught and had to walk out with the crowd.

I could feel every eye in church on me. Just about the time I got to the door, I felt a big hand on my

shoulder. I looked up and the preacher was looking right at me.

“’Who are you, son? Whose boy are you?’

“I felt the old weight come down on me. It was like a big, black cloud. Even the preacher was putting me

down.

“But as he looked down at me, studying my face, he began to smile a big smile of recognition. ‘Wait a minute,’ he said, ‘I know who you are. I see the family resemblance. You are a child of God.’

“With that, he slapped me across the rump and said, ‘Boy, you’ve got a great inheritance. Go and claim it.’”

The old man looked across the table at Fred Craddock and said, “That was the most important single

sentence ever said to me.” With that, he smiled, shook the hand of Craddock and his wife, and moved on to another table to greet old friends.

Suddenly, Fred Craddock remembered. On two occasions, the people of Tennessee had elected an

illegitimate to be their governor. His name was Ben Hooper.

(From Power for Living, by Jamie Buckingham, 1983)

I Love this story. Every time I hear it, I think of Galatians 3:26, “For you are all children of God through

faith in Christ Jesus.” What an inheritance we have. Let’s go claim it!

CANCER COMPANION MINISTRY

COMES TO TRINITY

Cancer Companions is a new

ministry that is starting at

Trinity in October.

Cancer Companions is a

unique support ministry for

cancer patients, their family

and caregivers. It is important to stress that this is not a “12-Step Program” or a “Celebrate Recovery

Program.” CC is a church-based program that will

provide a safe and secure environment for cancer

patients, families and caregivers to draw closer to

Christ using a Scripture-based program. This support

is provided in both a group setting or a one on one

setting.

On September 16 & 17, 23 & 24 and 30 & Oct. 1, an

information table will be setup and manned in the

Narthex before and after services to answer questions

and provide information about this wonderful new

ministry. We urge you to take a few minutes and stop by the table to see what this ministry has to offer. It

might just be what you or your loved one needs. This

program is provided at no cost. For information,

contact Jan McMillen at: [email protected] or

Tom Reed at [email protected].

YOUNG LADIES RETREAT

OCTOBER DONATION DRIVE

TO SUPPORT OUR

ANTIHUMAN TRAFFICKING MINISTRY

October 1 we will kick off our

donation drive to help support

women, who have been rescued

from human trafficking at The

Samaritan Women Program.

This program houses up to 14

women who were rescued from

human trafficking, provides them

with counseling, education, life skills, Bible study, love, hope, how

to trust others again and help to rebuild their lives.

Last year, we adopted 7 residents for Christmas. For

several, this was the first time they ever received a

Christmas gift.

TSW program depends on donations from their church

partners to help with daily supplies. With 14 women in

a house, you can imagine how much toilet paper and

paper towels they us in a week.

With that said, starting October 1, we will be collecting, toilet paper, paper towels, feminine hygiene

products, laundry detergent, dish soap, bath gel,

shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant,

socks and underwear (new only in the package).

Cash donations are also acceptable. Cash and checks

(made out to TLC) may be given to Jan McMillen and

Carmela Gorub or placed in the offering plate sealed

and marked Jan McMillen - Human Trafficking.

Your support of these ladies

helps more then you can

imagine. Their stories are

beyond heartbreaking. No human being should ever

have to endure this type of

treatment.

Your donation matters. Thank you.

TRINITY BLOOD DRIVE

On Sunday, August 13, we had the first blood drive here at Trinity in a year. It was most

successful. Thanks to all who came to donate. Our goal was 16 units of whole blood. We

collected 25 units of blood which will help 75 patients. We ended up with156 percent of

goal. At this drive, we had 5 first time donors and the first time donors were given a $5 gift

card to Chick-fil-A courtesy of Adrian Cox. All donors will receive a $5 gift card to Target from

the Red Cross. In addition we had a drawing, for donors, of a $20 gift card to Chick-fil-A. Barbara Gorton's name was drawn.

In addition to our usual Blood Drive team, we had the assistance of two high school students

who were completing their community service. A special thank you to the team and to Emma

and Megan Hansen.

SAVE THE DATE

Our next blood drive will be on

Sunday, October 22

from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Please help us reach our goal and give the life saving gift of blood.

Trinity Lutheran Christian School and Early Learning Center News

OUR NEW YEAR THEME:

“A NEW CREATION”

The Apostle Paul writes these insightful words: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,

he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” - II Corinthians 5:17.

The greatest proven historical fact is that Jesus The Christ lived, died, and rose again

for every human being. Because Christ died, and rose for us, we also are to be dead to

our old lives and dedicated to live new lives to the pleasing of Christ.

Christians are given a new life through the Holy Spirit - we are not the same anymore—we are brand-new people on the inside. Christians begin a new life under a new Master.

Our Chapel Services will feature each month a lifestyle trait through which our Lord provides us with a living

witness as to what it means to be “A New Creation.” All our teaching, lifestyle modeling and corrective dis-

cipline will be based on what it means to be “A New Creation.”

Trinity families are invited and encouraged to partner with their school in the teaching of the

appointed monthly spiritual trait themes.

September - Friendship

October - Creativity

November - Gratitude

December - Generosity

January - Commitment

February - Kindness

March - Patience

April - Peace

May - Honesty

WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE NEXT YEAR’S

MUSICAL….

“For where your treasure is,

there your heart will be also.”

~Luke 12:34 A group of kids just arrived on

Treasure Island and can’t wait to

discover the treasure that’s in

store for them. With the guidance of Captain Fisher

and a map, they start out on an adventure seeking

something more valuable than gold. Though Captain

Fisher was once a pirate searching for the riches of this

world, he now seeks God’s kingdom as a fisher of men.

Captain Fisher teaches the kids that they should

always pursue godly wisdom and eternal riches. Join
