Rector’s Report

Dear Friends,

“Bloom where you are plant-ed.” Here we find our theme for stewardship in this fall, but it extends to encompass all our activities. Starting in September, we have enhanced many of our al-ready exciting offerings, providing more opportunities for members of Trinity to bloom. Please come to the Red Door Rally on Sept. 9 for details on many of these. Let me just share some highlights. Once many of you return from the Parish Weekend at Cathedral Domain, we launch two new Adult Christian offer-ings. First, on Sundays begin-ning Sept. 16, I invite you to join us for Trinity Enlighten-ing Discussions (TED). After grabbing something to drink during coffee hour in the May Room, the group will gather in the Multi-Purpose Room at the top of the Main Staircase. Pro-grams will focus on faith for-mation, and will include con-

versations on topics such as prayer, stewardship, and the Bible, occasional presentations by guest speakers and “Episcopal 101,” a three week interactive mini-course for new and old Episcopalians alike.

Complementing this, two

new groups will convene monthly. On the second Thurs-day of each month at 7 p.m., the groups will gather concur-rently. Convened by Justin Gabbard, Theology on Tap focuses on people in their 20s and 30s, although all may at-tend. It will meet at Cosmo’s Bar and Grill (604 Main St., Covington). Simultaneously down the street at the wine bar Bouquet (519 Main St., Covington), New Wine In Old Skins will congregate. Peter D’Angio and Linda Young will serve as co-convenors. Designed with peo-ple 40-plus in mind, it too will not turn anyone away. On Thursday, Sept. 13, The-ology on Tap will discuss the theme “How God Ruined My Life.” New Wine in Old Skins will focus on “How God Contin-ues to Ruin Our Lives.” For both groups, no religious expe-rience is necessary—these are open to everyone, both inside and outside Trinity.

As we look outside of Trini-ty, during the summer the Out

As you may know, one of my areas of responsibility here at Trinity is Pastoral Care and as such I am happy to visit parish-ioners who wish a pastoral visit. We have office volunteers who call and check on our shut-ins as well. Sometimes, however, peo-ple need someone to visit to just chat or sit with them while their regular care giver gets a break to go shopping or just get away for an hour. In the June issue of The Chimes I shared with you some information about Pastoral Care at Trinity, among other things, sharing about wanting to gather a group of parishioners who were willing to visit hospitalized and shut-in parishioners. To refresh your memory here is what I said: "We would also like to organ-ize 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 be-come aware of who have no one to visit them -- we would love to

have people who could be there for these individuals when they need it. We will talk more about organizing this group in the fall." Well, Fall is almost here! On Sept. 30 after the 10 a.m. Eucha-rist we will have a short infor-mation session for those who want to know more about Pasto-ral Care in general and visiting parishioners in particular here at Trinity. This will be much the same as our session on Vergers earlier this year; we will have a infor-mation and question and answer session, then gather with those who are interested in exploring this ministry and possibly sign-ing up immediately afterwards. So mark your calendars to be here on Sept. 30.

* * * * *

Just a reminder, we have a pastoral emergency number for use after office hours and on weekends. This number is 859-414-0990 and will reach the cler-gy person on call. Leave a mes-sage and they will get back to you as soon as possible.

“When we offer our-selves to serve at the al-tar, we are offering our-selves to God as a living prayer.” Trinity Altar Guild needs some new dedicat-ed members. We wel-come women and men. Members of Trinity Al-tar Guild prepare the al-tar for our worship ser-vices. We set up the bread and wine for Eucharist and care for the vessels and linens used at the al-tar. It is not difficult to learn the procedures and the responsibilities are not very time-consuming. For the Sundays that you serve, you simply need to arrive a little early to set up for communion and to stay for a short time fol-lowing the service to lay away the vessels and lin-ens. As the above quote from the National Altar Guild Association im-plies, setting up the altar is an active way to offer a prayer to God. It is also a fun way to work with oth-er parishioners. Please consider this rewarding ministry. If you are interested in Altar Guild or would like to learn more about it, please speak to Peter or Linda, or call Amy Heil-bronner (859-363-7588).

Trinity surrounds us with beauty: the beauty of our build-ing, the beauty of our gardens and, most importantly, the beauty of the generous hearts, minds and souls of our mem-bers. We bloom where God has planted us! We manifest the rainbow of colors and the sweet fragrances of our gardens in our words and actions, in our pray-ers and praises. We bloom, but we also have strong and deep roots to nurture those stems, leaves, buds and flowers. Our tagline reads: “Rooted in Faith, Nurtured by Community, Energized by Thought.” Our faith has been rooted here in Covington for 170 years, planted by people who had no idea that the seeds they sowed would blossom into the beauty of our gardens, our church and our people. The beauty also nurtures our souls and the souls of the sur-rounding community who come to sit in our gardens and use our space for community meetings. Blooming where God plants us also means using our God-given minds to give careful con-sideration to issues in the

church, the community and the world and how God calls us to respond. God uses our minds, hearts and hands here in Covington, in the Diocese and in the world in many, many ways. In our “garden” here at Trini-ty, I have witnessed and experi-enced beautiful acts of love which have both inspired me and have deepened my relation-ship with God. One of my per-sonal favorites have been how

we’ve put our trust in God and called for a new rector after 20-plus years. Peter is a blessing to our congregation and I am excit-ed about the new directions in which he will help take us. I am also thrilled that we add-ed Linda Young to our staff. During the Holy Conversations conducted in the fall of 2010, our congregation decided that

adding an Assistant Rector to our staff was a top priority, and we did it! How lucky are we to have such incredible leadership in both Peter and Linda. The 2012 Reading Camp was a resounding success and blos-soms into something bigger and better each year. In this out-reach function we are doing God’s work in the world, we are supporting our community’s children, we are planting seeds of hope and confidence in those who are living on the extreme edges of society. These are just a few examples of the many ways the Holy Spirit is alive and well in our congre-gation. Looking ahead, there is still much more growing, learn-ing and blossoming to be done. Aren’t we lucky that we have each other and Trinity to make it possible to do so? I invite you to join us after the service on Sept. 16 (first Soup Sunday of the season!) for a fun, interactive, intergenerational and spiritual exercise. Discover and explore the essential ingre-dients that we as individuals and as a church need in order to bloom where we are planted.

How to make new friends while keeping the old

In June a group met one Friday morning to look at old photos from the Trinity archives. It turned out to be a blast! Everyone had a wonder-ful time. “Oh, I remember her.” “Hey isn’t this __________?” “Do you remember when we all pitched in to make that such a great celebration?” “What was this guy’s name? I forget.”

Oh, and “old” doesn’t mean just the 40’s or 50’s (or before?). There are pictures into the 21st century. And we want to know who they are. So please join us on Friday, Sept. 21, in the May Room at 10 a.m. Share old memories while you munch muffins with juice or coffee. Sign up on the table outside the May Room. Finally, thank you everyone who participated in the first photo identification party!

Soup Sunday resumes Sept. 16

For the past 30-plus years, Soup Sunday has been a special event each month from Sep-tember to May. For the past two summers, Salad Sundays during June, July, and August were added. Recently when we asked the children what were their favor-ite things about Trinity, they overwhelmingly stated that Soup Sunday was one of the best things. Many adults feel the same way. Everyone is invited to stay and enjoy the company of others as we share a meal together. For these events, we welcome contri-butions of soup or salad, bread, fruit, desserts and lemonade. For those who are unable or forgot to bring a food contribu-tion, a basket is placed at the be-ginning of the line where you may contribute to the funding of this event. To provide a food base for the event, we spend approximately $110. Some have asked how much should I donate? Many years ago we suggested that a do-nation of half of what you would

spend if you went out to lunch would be great. Of course, you are always wel-come to stay and eat even if you did not bring anything or do not have money with you. The mon-ey above our expenses has been used for many different purposes in the past. We have recently created a hospitality fund with the extra money so that it can be used for coffee hour goodies and other events involving food. The first Soup Sunday will be Sept. 16. Please join us as we cel-ebrate the fall! If you have any questions or comments, please call Judy Clements.

CEO Rick Wurth has asked the Out-reach Commission to coor-dinate several hands-on projects at the Home’s Burlington campus. For more information, visit the Outreach Commission’s table at the Red Door Ral-ly.

Over the summer you have seen our Vergers serving at the 10 a.m. ser-vice. These eight people have undertaken a 6 month program of study. They are learning the history of Trinity, obtaining a thor-ough knowledge of The Book of Common Prayer, and undertaking more practical considerations such as preparation of an emergency evacuation plan. Vergers do more than lead processions—they coordinate all the par-ticipants at the Eucharist, conduct tours for visitors, and respond to unforeseen circumstances. This fall, 13-year-old Chase Parton will become our ninth Ver-ger. We have room for all ages in our ministries. Welcome to an exciting fall!

In Christ, Peter

Rector’s Report

All of our youth are invited to attend Christian Formation pro-grams that will help them fulfill the promises made at Baptism. There are a variety of programs available for each age.

Nursery: The nursery is open from 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. each Sunday. Newborns to 18-month-old children meet in the room on the main floor. Children may be picked up for Eucharist and then returned to the room so parents may attend the adult programs.

Toddlers: Children who are between the ages of 18 months to 3 years meet in the room up-stairs. This room is open from 9:20 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. each Sunday. Children may be picked up for Eucharist. After the ser-vice is over, the children will go to the all purpose room on the second floor for Song and Snack, then go to their church school class.

Godly Play and Explor-ers: All children who will be 3 years old before Sept. 1 to those currently in kindergarten will go to Godly Play during the service. They may be picked up for Eu-charist and then taken to Song and Snack. After Song and Snack they will return to their

room for Explorers Church School. Here the students are introduced to a second story from the Bible or a lesson on the seasons of the church year. Godly Play and Explorers do not repeat the same lesson.

Children's Worship: Stu-dents in grades one through six have the opportunity to attend a worship service that is age ap-propriate. Children go into the service with the parents (so that they know where parents are sit-ting) and will follow the second cross out during the procession-al. They then return to the ser-vice during the Doxology. At the conclusions of the service they go upstairs to the all purpose room for Song and Snack, then to their Church School Class. Children's Worship and

Church School are different. In Children's Worship, the empha-sis is on worship and centers around the gospel reading for the day. Church School includes a Bible Story with a craft or oth-er activity to reinforce the lesson of the day.

Children's Worship I is for students in grades one, two and three. They meet in the room upstairs just past the re-strooms. After Song and Snack they are part of the Discover-ers and meet in the same room.

Children's Worship II is for students in grades four, five and six. They meet in the room at the top of the stairs. After Song and Snack, they are part of the Learners and meet in the

same room. Judy Clements

Christian Formation programs resuming

Trinity’s annual Red Door Rally is set for Sunday, Sept. 9, following the 10 a.m. service. The Red Door Rally is Trini-ty’s annual “marketplace” of in-terest groups, where group rep-resentatives are present to pass

out information, answer ques-tions and otherwise “recruit” new members and/or volun-teers. Food will be involved, too.

So stick around after church and check it out. And bring a friend, too.

The Very Rev. Dr. Douglas Hahn was elected on Saturday, Aug. 18, as Bishop of the Epis-copal Diocese of Lexington, pending the required consents from a majority of bishops with jurisdiction and standing com-mittees of the Episcopal Church. Hahn, rector of St. Thomas Church, Columbus, Ga., was elected on the second ballot out of a field of six nominees. He received 67 votes of 120 cast in the lay order and 26 of 44 cast in the clergy order. An election on that ballot required 61 in the lay order and 23 in the clergy order. The election was held during the diocese’s 116th convention held at Christ Church Cathedral in Lexington. Pending a suc-cessful consent process, Hahn will succeed the Sixth Bishop of Lexington, the Rt. Rev. Stacy F. Sauls, who was called to be the Chief Operating Officer of the Episcopal Church in New York. The Rt. Rev. Chilton Knudsen has served the Diocese as Inter-im Assisting Bishop. Raised in Georgia, Hahn says “My roots run deep in central Kentucky. I come from genera-tions of Kentucky teachers and farmers, spent summers in Mer-cer County, and went to gradu-ate school in Louisville.” He holds a BA in history from the University of Georgia (1974); the MDiv from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (1977), Diploma in Anglican Studies from General Theologi-cal Seminary (1996) and Doctor of Ministry from the University of the South in 2010. As Convocation Dean in the

Diocese of Atlanta, his duties have included spiritual over-sight over five towns, seven par-ishes, 12 priests and shared out-reach ministry. He has worked in his Diocese in Christian for-mation, youth outreach and parishes in transition, chaired the Standing Committee and was an alternate deputy to Gen-eral Convention. He and his wife Kaye are parents to three young adult children. The Rt. Rev. Chilton Knud-

sen, Interim Assisting Bishop during the transition stated, “The Diocese of Lexington is healthy and ready to welcome Doug Hahn as the new Bishop. We have come through a fruitful interim period and are poised to continue serving our communi-ties through outreach, creative ministry development and hos-pitality, all in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Our grateful prayers are with all of the nomi-nees and their families.”

Diocese elects new Bishop Dear Sisters and Brothers, I am thrilled and honored to be called to be the Seventh Bishop of Lexington. Kaye and our family share this excitement. I have long had love for the people of Ken-tucky, and over the last several months have grown especially fond of the people of the Diocese of Lex-ington — those inside and outside the Episcopal Church. I know that my passion for these people and my passion for God’s church will bring us a long and fruitful minis-try together.

I am grateful to Kaye for her presence in this journey. She is my joy. I am grateful for the many people of the diocese who have invested heart and soul in this process; for Bishop Chilton’s steady care of the diocese; for the prayers of my Bishops and col-leagues in the Diocese of Atlanta; and especially for the people of St. Thomas Church in Columbus, a people whose care for one an-other is deep, and whose courage and imagination always take them to new places of service in the world. I am also grateful to the other candidates for their commitment to the church. I am grateful to God, in whose service we all find our highest, truest and best selves. May our years together be filled with mutual respect and affec-tion, passion for God’s people and God’s earth, and great wonder at the mystery of Grace that surrounds us. May the world see Christ’s light among us, and in that light know that they, too, are part of God’s beloved community.

Christ’s Peace. Doug Hahn+

The Association of Anglican Musicians (AAM) met in Phila-delphia June 17-24 for their an-nual conference. The theme of the conference was “Blessed Liberty: Honoring our Past and Imagining our Future.” Wor-ship is always a highlight of AAM conferences. The Opening Eucharist was at Christ Church, Philadelphia, a lovely building dating from 1744. The prelude and some of the hymns featured music from the eighteenth century. The musical setting for the service was Gerre Hancock’s Houston Mass. This was one of many tributes during the week to one of the founders of the AAM who had died in January. The Closing Volun-tary for the service was a transcription of one of Gerre’s improvisations per-formed by his widow, Judith Hancock, one time Organist-Choirmaster of Church of the Redeemer, Hyde Park, Cin-cinnati. The preacher for the week was Bishop Paul Marshall of the Diocese of Bethlehem, Pa., who stirred our imagina-tions and hearts with his elo-quent and witty preaching. In his first sermon he said that not all of us believe with words. The creed for the ancient church was not data, but doxol-ogy.

On Tuesday we worshipped at St. David’s Episcopal Church in Wayne, Pa., using Morning Prayer adapted from the 1789 Book of Common Prayer, and later in the day at Princeton University Chapel for Evensong

led by the choir of Trinity Church, Princeton, N.J. Worship on Wednesday was quite a mixture, beginning with Eucharist at Holy Trinity, Rit-tenhouse Square, utilizing a di-verse array of music and end-ing with Evensong and Bene-diction at St. Mark’s, Philadel-phia. The Closing Eucharist was on Thursday at The Church of

St. Luke and The Epiphany, Philadelphia. A further tribute to Gerre Hancock occurred to-ward the end of the service when the entire conference sang his anthem Judge Eternal accompanied by Bruce Nes-wick, a former student of Gerre’s and one time Organist-Choirmaster of our cathedral in Lexington. (Bruce will play a recital at the Cincinnati Muse-um Center on March 4 where, in addition to solo pieces. he will accompany the CCM Chamber Choir.)

The conference was one of the most tightly scheduled con-

ferences I have attended. After an Opening Concert Sunday evening by The Crossing, a pro-fessional chamber choir of twenty-four voices conducted by Donald Nally (also music director of Cincinnati’s Vocal Arts Ensemble), we were treat-ed to an organ recital by Alan Morrison in Verizon Hall of the Kimmel Center at 11:15 p.m. The next morning began at

8:15! Other musical high-lights of the week were an exquisite organ recital by Mark Laubach at Girard College, a concert by Ten-et – a spectacular early music ensemble, a tour and performance by one of the students at the Cur-tis Institute of Music, an organ recital by Peter Conte on the Wanamaker Organ at Macy’s Depart-ment Store, and an organ recital in the Grand Ball-room of the Conservatory at Longwood Gardens by

Ken Cowan. Business meetings are also a part of the annual conference. I completed my third and final year as Secretary of the Angli-can Musicians Foundation, which met before the confer-ence began. Besides learning from colleagues over meals and on bus rides, there were formal workshops and anthem reading sessions to introduce us to newly composed music. An added benefit of this year’s conference was a visit with my godson’s family in Wilmington, Del.
