Underwood) have to report sta- tistics — how many were in church, in small groups, offering totals. Most of those are easily obtained. But one area they ask about I have less certainty about — persons in mission and persons served. We talk about “entering to worship” and “leaving to serve.” At a Church Council meeting Elaine Carter even told about a church they visited in their travels that had a sign at the church driveway exit: “YOU ARE NOW EN- TERING THE MISSION FIELD.” All to say, in the coming weeks we are going to begin asking you to tell us about how you have served Christ by serving others. I’ll come up with some kinds of card for us to use to report. I know some of the volunteer work you do, but I bet I/we will be surprised to find out how much good Trinity members are doing week-in, week-out. MEMBERS IN MISSION! Back-to-School Sunday August 12 In the Morning Service our theme will be “What I Did on my Sum- mer Vacation.” It’s going to be a lot of fun! After, as usual, we’ll enjoy a Salad Luncheon in Trinity Hall. Please bring a favorite salad or dessert to share. The Education Commit- tee will provide drinks and paper products. The Newsletter of Trinity United Methodist Church 5622 Clarks Bridge Road • Clermont, Georgia • www.trinityclermont.org August 2012 Back-to-School Backpack Mission Remember how excited you were at the start of a new school year, and how proud you were of your stash of protractor, compass, scissors, fresh composition books and other goodies? We’re helping to make that experience possible for some three dozen Wauka Mountain students. We have distributed empty back- packs and you’ve claimed the list for one child, in one grade. Enjoy gathering the supplies, get carried away and even get some things not on the list. Write an encouraging note and tuck it in the back pack. Bring it to church on Sunday, August 5 and we’ll get them delivered to Wauka Mountain by the start of school. It’s Back-to-Church Time for Us, Too Hope you’ve enjoyed your summer vacation and getaways. But I missed you, as has God, at Sunday Morning Worship. During these summer days I’ve been excitedly thinking and praying about Fall possibilities. I hope you’re ready to be challenged and to jump in to participating in and supporting all kinds of things, some on-going, some new. Way to Go, Trinity! As Methodists, we support missions primarily through our apportionments. Hundreds, and thou- sands, of life changing and life-saving ministries are enabled through our giving. They’re sometimes called “a portion meant” for others. So far in 2012 we haven’t missed a month of our mission support. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving to God and His church that makes that possible. Action Heroes for Action Ministries On Labor Day in Gainesville, at Gainesville State College — and in venues in Atlanta, Athens, Augusta, and Rome — Methodists will be participating in a 5K and raising money in support of Action Ministries, our minis- try which helps the financially struggling of our communities. Runners are invited to dress up as their favorite action hero (though you don’t have to). Trinity has several runners. I’m sure if any of you would like to participate in this, that Trinity members would be great supporters in pledging to your effort. Action heroes use their special talents to rescue those threatened and endangered. I look forward to seeing several Trinity persons step out to be action heroes, whether in uniform or not! And, by the way, they invite kids and pets to participate, too. You can even walk. Go to http://www.actiondash.org/ more information or to register online.
