This person will plan, coordinate, and communicate service opportunities for college students at Miami University.  These service opportunities will be near and far, including local Oxford agencies, the Appalachian hills of Southern Ohio, a 2011 spring-break trip to New York, and ultimately a mission trip in a Dominican Republic medical clinic. This person will also train, supervise and support two student interns as part of this service team.

If you are passionate about contributing to the health and well-being of people/the planet in challenging circumstances … if you have the gifts to enthusiastically lead a mostly college-age team in a variety of hands-on service settings … if you enjoy reflecting on the meaning of life with others, such as the meaning of service and how spirituality and religious faith link to the life choices we make … please contact us now. Send a cover letter sharing why you would like to do this with your personal resume, via e-mail, to htrector@woh.rr.com

This is a 10-month, part-time position for $10,000.

Thank you,
Karen Burnard

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Today we welcome Dr. Peter Williams, our guest preacher and Dorothy Samter, our guest organist.

• Holy T Office will be closed Monday, July 5

• Relay for Life: Just a few weeks ago, we announced the formation of the Holy T-Birds Relay for Life team. In typical Holy Trinity style the parish responded with enthusiasm and offers to help. Parishioners responded, “How can we help?” “What can I do?” Many donated generously to the American Cancer Society; as of 3:00 am Sunday, June 27, our team had raised $2,210. You also responded by coming to walk; at least 48 parishioners and friends walked the Relay track at some time. Holy Trinity had someone on the track during each hour of the Relay—from 1:00 pm Saturday to 9:00 am Sunday.
  As one of the team members said, “Isn’t it wonderful how a simple request generates such an outpouring of involvement among our fellow parishioners.”Many thanks for your support. And if you didn’t have a chance to make a contribution, you can still do that; Mary Melvin or Bonnie Mason will be happy to accept your donation.

• Holy Trinity Pantry: Holy Trinity maintains a non-food pantry for our guests at the monthly community dinner. As always we rely on your generosity to help stock the pantry each month. We always need toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, baby wipes, baby shampoo or wash, trash bags and shampoo. No time to shop? We’ll do the shopping for you. IMPORTANT REQUEST: we provide our guests with plastic containers to take leftovers home and we are running out of them. Do you have any containers you can give us? Thank you so much. Geoff, Stephanie, Judith

COMING EVENTS

Adult Forum Explores Origins and Meaning of Christmas Traditions:
Advent is a time of preparations. For the season, Adult Forum will present a look at the history, traditions and practices of the Christmas season as we prepare for the feast of the Incarnation. Today Carrie Galsworthy will present a session on the origins of Christmas Customs and Symbols. On December 13, Jenny and Cleve Callison will discuss symbols in Christmas Art, Carols and Hymns (part 1). And on December 20, Peter Williams will lead the group discussion of Carols and Hymns (part 2).

“Christmas in the Country” tonight from 5-9 p.m. at the Schmitts. Get tickets from Harriet or Ted today!

Lessons and Carols is next week, December 13th! Plan to join us for this celebration of the season, in worship and fellowship. A potluck feast follows the 5:00 p.m. service.

HOLY TRINITY PANTRY: As always, we appreciate your ongoing support of the pantry. Right now we need toilet paper, paper towels, shaving cream and razors, laundry detergent. No time to ship? Give us some money and we’ll do it for you. (Wooden boxes for contributions are in the Narthex.) Thanks, Geoff, Stephanie, and Judith

The Christmas Offering this year will be divided equally between the Oxford College Corner Medical Clinic and the Episcopal Community Services Foundation. As you no doubt know, the Clinic provides a variety of medical services to low-income persons in the two communities and is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. At this difficult time, there is certainly a need for their services. The Episcopal Community Services Foundation is the “outreach ann” of our own Diocese that provides grants to churches for a wide range of programs. It was through ECSF that our own Community Choice Pantry received a grant of$5,000 a little over a year ago. It is the hope ofthe Outreach Commission that the parish will respond generously as the Christmas offering is the only way that these two deserving organizations can received funds from Holy Trinity this year.

Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.

Proceeds from these cards support the Holy Trinity food outreach projects of the Community Dinner, Serve City dinner and the Community Food Pantry.

KEEP UP WITH MEDICAL MISSIONARIES in the Dominican Republic, Drs. Michael and Anita Dohu. To be good stewards of their resources they will send you their newsletters online. Check out their website — http://dohnfamily.org – and send them your e-mail so they can send you their news.

HOLY TRINITY RECYCLES: Containers for recycling: (I) Plastic bags; (2) batteries; (3) #1 clear plastic containers (look for the triangle with I on the bottom and on any detached lids); (4) fluorescent (not incandescent) bulbs are now located in the Bishop’s Foyer. Please remember that all recyclables that Rumpke takes (paper, cardboard, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars) can be placed in the kitchen & Old Rectory recycling bins.

MEDICINE BOTTLES AND ART CATALYSTS: A separate container in the Bishop’s Foyer (the largest) is for medicine bottles and craft catalysts. Mary Fahnestock-Thomas collects medicine bottles for use by clinics in needy areas as well as anything for early childhood schools in Oxford that could stimulate young minds in arts and crafts: bottle andjar lids, buttons; paper towel and toilet tissue rolls; reusable plastic containers and small bottles; fabric, ribbon and yam scraps; spools; basically anything that can be reused creatively.

After our worship at 10:30 on October 25 we will gather for the first of our two annual meetings. Updated directories will be distributed as well as the following forms filled out for all of our ministries/programs. If you are a chairperson, coordinator, or point person of any ministry/program at Holy Trinity, please fill out this form in DOC format and return it to the office by Sunday October 18th. All chairpersons/coordinators/point persons will be recognized and given the opportunity to briefly introduce your respective arenas in the life of Holy Trinity. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite new people into your endeavors. Our ingathering for the 2010 Every Member Canvas will also take place. Plan to be with us as we also break bread together at lunch, which will be provided.

Thanks for your patience.

This will also save money for the Dohns and their clinic in the Dominican Republic.

Don’t forget that our Community Dinner is tonight (8/26/09).

Thanks, Karen Burnard
