February: Peanut

Butter and Jelly

A Pastor’s Ponderings Well folks, it’s that time of year again; you know… Love is in the air! It

is February, the month of love, Valentine’s Day, Cupid and his piercing arrows.

It is time to say, “I love you and Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet

and so are you.” Pretty soon you will see it all - red hearts, pink roses, balloons,

cards, candy, and animals that sing songs of love. I remember as a child making

special valentines for my parents and grandparents. It is such a special time!

Store shelves soon will overflow with symbols of love. They began the

day after New Year's to get ready for Valentine’s Day. Do you know that more

roses are sold on that day than any other day in the year? All over the world, it

is the day that people show their love for someone special. Valentine’s Day is a

great occasion to express love and appreciation for any of our loved ones, but it

is just as important to show little acts of kindness the other 364 days of the year.

My question is, “Why wait?” I can do without a dancing gorilla singing

Love Me Tender, but I sure would miss getting that hug and kiss from Laurie if

it was only given one time a year. Why wait? I am thankful to have two

children who show their love openly. I love Dow and Emma’s nightly ritual

when they say, “Good Night, Dad. I love you.” I pray that they will never grow

out of that! Love does not wait! I guess that is because we only have today.

We are not promised tomorrow.

It means a lot when family and friends want to spend time with you,

share a meal, or just talk. God tells us in scripture how much He loves us. He

promises never to leave or forsake us, to answer us when we call, day or night.

He never slumbers nor sleeps. We need to tell Him how much we love Him 365

days a year as well.

Flowers will die. Candy gets eaten. Balloons will pop. Stuffed animals

may stop singing. Cards may get lost or thrown away, but the love that is shared

with one another, and God’s love for us, will never pass away. May you find

little ways to show some acts of kindness to those you love before and after

Valentine’s Day this year. Let love be in the air at all times!

TREASURER’S REPORT (DECEMBER 2017)

Music Ministry News I saw something the other day that was talking about how quickly time goes by. It said that January is

almost over; February lasts only a couple of days; Easter will be here soon, followed by the 4th of July.

Summer will be over, and we will start decorating for Christmas. 2018 is almost done. This is so funny but

in a way very true. We have to plan for the next season while we are in this one. I started thinking about

music for Lent and Easter several weeks before Christmas, and I am already looking at music for summer

and patriotic songs. You must be a step ahead. If not careful, I can get confused about what season we are

currently in.

This month not only starts the Lenten Season but also the choir will be doing another evening concert. Ash

Wednesday is on February 14th. This starts the season of Lent. The choir will do special music each Sunday in Lent,

which goes through the last Sunday of March, which is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. (More about that

next month)

On Sunday evening, February 25th, the choir will do a concert in the Concert Series. We plan to do some very fun

songs that I am sure everyone will enjoy. If you attended the last concerts and enjoyed them, I hope you not only will

attend this one but also spread will the word. Music is a great way to spend time, whether singing or listening. It brings

out many emotions and can make you feel things that you might not have even been aware were there. Please put this

date on your calendar and make plans now to join us. I know you will enjoy yourself. Watch for a concert next month

for the handbells and orchestra. The handbells will also play during the morning service the second Sunday of

February, which is the 11th.

Thanks,

Melody

Once again we'll be serving those delicious

pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. The date is

Tuesday, February 13th, from 5 to 7 pm.

The cost remains the same - $5.00 for

adults and children ten and younger eat

free.

We'll be mailing 5 tickets to everyone the end of January,

and we ask that you purchase them. You can always give

some to family, neighbors and friends. And, again, all

proceeds will go to A Relay for Life.

This has always been a fun night. So, mark your

calendars and plan to join us. We promise good food and

fellowship. You'll be happy you came.

Hope to see you there!

As you know, Trinity just completed a

very successful blood drive. One for April

is already scheduled, and we look forward

to making it even more successful.

Trinity is looking to advance the opportunities to help

our church family. As you know, we do blood pressure

testing once a month as well as CPR training at least

once a year. We now have two volunteers who are doing

these programs, but more help is needed if we are to

expand other areas of screening.

If you are interested, please contact the Church Office

at 843-272-5236.

Wednesday Night Fellowship

6:00pm Let’s eat!!! Please come out and enjoy

good food and some fellowship with

your church family. In February, we will

have our family fellowship meal every

Wednesday of the month. Come out and

enjoy the fun!

Please RSVP by Monday by 12 noon

so that we can prepare.

February Fellowship Dates: February 7, 14, 21, 28

attend?

Will someone recognize my need for prayer if I'm

sick, have a birthday, or am grieving for a family

loss?

Will I be able to have the communion brought to me? Make a call to the church, leave a message for Debbie

Snow or call Marianne Vandawalker (843-945-0866).

Many on our teams are ready to serve your family needs.

24 Hours That Changed the World

This study takes a look into the day leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus.

This study will both remind of Christ’s great love for us as well as prepare

us for Easter.

Thursdays at 6 pm beginning Feb. 15th with Pastors Michael, Ed and Dan

Sunday Nights from 5 pm - 6:30 pm starting Jan. 7th

All elementary aged kids are welcome!

Jesus tells us in John 8 that He is the light of the world! What a great feeling to know that no matter

where we are or what we are facing we always have His light to help us through it. We are never alone!

We hope that on Sunday nights children through lessons, crafts , music and games learn more about

their savior who loves them. We are all His Light keepers!

(We will not be meeting February 18th due to the holiday weekend.)

Trinity’s Youth program is up and running! All Middle and High School students are invited to join us. We are meeting Sunday nights from 5pm until 6:30 pm.

Our theme verse for the year is Colossians 1:10 which tells us if we live a life pleasing to God we bear fruit and grow in knowledge of our creator! What an incredible

goal to strive for. We will integrate music, scripture, prayer and plenty of fun along the way also.

Education Committee

Meeting February 6th

at 5:30 pm

Sign up for this study by filling out the insert on Sunday or contacting the church office.

YOUTH PRAYER BREAKFASTS will be here soon.

Like last year we will be meeting at the McDonalds

across from Barefoot Landing at 7:00 am for prayer,

devotion and breakfast. Our first breakfast will be

Thursday, February 22nd.

Sunday, February 4th, our Light keepers

and Amplified will be holding a Super Bowl

party here in the Fellowship Hall. They will

meet at 5 pm, so they will still have time for

their normal programming and can watch

the Super Bowl after. Parents are welcome

to join us at 6 pm for the game.

Amplified is trying to build a

well! On Super Bowl Sunday, if

you have a few extra dollars,

drop it into one of the Soup Pots

as you leave the service assigned

to the Patriots or the Eagles.

Hopefully, we will raise enough

to build a well!

FEBRUARY MUSIC “My Funny Valentine” is the

theme for this year’s

Valentine’s Day event. On

Saturday, February 10th from

6:00 pm to 8:30 pm we are

going to enjoy one of the

most memorable events ever

at Trinity United Methodist Church. There will be a

full meal starting at 6 pm; this will be followed by

singing and dancing along with an array of fun-filled

games.

We are requesting that you bring in for display the

most hilarious photograph that you have of you or your

spouse for the funniest Valentine ever contest.

All of those gathered will vote by applause, and the

winner will receive a wonderful prize. We will also

have a newlywed and “a not so” newlywed game. This

all will be topped off by a Crazy Legs’ recognition

contest with only male contestants.

Musical entertainment will be provided by the Daniel

family and maybe a few surprise guests. Last year’s

Valentine’s Day function was phenomenal; this one is

going to be even better. The donation for the meal and

all of the evening’s events is just $10 per individual

and $15 per couple.

Tickets will be available in the church office starting

February 1st. For more information, please contact

Reverend Ed at 843-421-7257 or the church office at

February 25th Concert Series

“I love music” is the call of the evening as the Trinity

chancel choir performs songs that you probably won't hear

on Sunday mornings.

I doubt that anybody can deny the quality of music that we

are blessed with each Sunday from a choir, orchestra, and

bell choir. Their addition to the service is so spiritually

uplifting. However, you have not heard the full extent of

their talents and gifts until you catch one of their evening

performances. You will be blessed with a variety of music

performed by multi-talented vocalists and instrumentalists.

Every one of these types of performances by our chancel

choir has been spectacular. I can assure you that on this
