was setting, since the 5th century. The brief liturgy is contemplative and marked by
candlelight, melodic canticles (songs from the scriptures), prayers, and readings. For
parishioners and friends seeking a time of serene and reflective corporate worship, this
liturgy is renewing and fulfilling. Please invite a friend and join us.

to a deeper and abiding Faith...

Church Council Reflects on Natural Church Development Surveys...
Natural Church Development measures 8 quality characteristics of healthy churches.
The results are intended to be used by congregational leadership teams to build and
grow toward health.. The responses to the NCD surveys by 30 parishioners (taken in
August, 2009) were reviewed by our Church Council this past week. We spent the
evening discussing the results and used the material to discern directions for the
development of Trinity’s ministries into the months ahead. The surveys indicated that
Trinity is of above average health in 5 of the 8 areas.
... Trinity’s greatest strengths are to be found in our:
“effective structures” (which means we adapt well to address changing
opportunities)
“gift-based ministries” (which means we tend to engage people in ministries which
make good use of their skills and interests)
“empowering leadership” (which means that our leaders effectively engage others
in leadership tasks)
“loving relationships” (which mean that many parishioners can develop familial-like,
mutually-supportive friendships)
“inspiring worship” (which means that worshipers sense a sincere encounter with
God through the corporate liturgies of the church)
... The surveys indicated that Trinity is of rather typical/average health in 3 of the 8 areas...
“need-oriented evangelism” (which refers to our openness and skill at creating
inroads for the local un-churched based on the needs of the community)
“holistic small groups” (which refers to the way we establish small groups to
encourage supportive ministries and relationship)
“passionate spirituality” (which refers to the intensity of the commitment which
parishioners have to the Faith and to what we practice the Faith with joy and
enthusiasm.)
... The surveys did not indicate a “deficiency” in any of the 8 “Quality Characteristics” which
are found universally in healthy, growing churches.
... Over the next few months, and into 2010, our council, committees, and ministry teams
will use this information to reach out in ways which will be intentionally designed to build
on our strengths as God-given assets and resources. We’ll also devote special attention
so as to encourage growth in the life of our parish and individual families and
parishioners through ministries intentionally designed toward issues of “need-oriented
evangelism”, “holistic small groups”, and “passionate spirituality”.
.... Once again, “thank you” to the 30 parishioners who completed the surveys this past
summer. Your time and input is providing a valuable resource as we seek to coordinate
faithful ministries, to share with one another and this community, in the Name of our
Lord.

Thursday, November 12; 6:00 pm
This special meeting of the Finance Team will be held to review the 2010 Parish Ministry
Budget preparations from the various committees and ministry teams and prepare a

Thursday, November 19; 7:00 pm
This “special meeting” is called for the purpose of Council’s consideration of the

NOVEMBER’S SPECIAL APPEAL...
Winter Clothing Ministry for Local Children ~
... “Winter Clothing Ministry” is an out-reach ministry of Trinity’s Social Ministry Team. Our
offerings will be used to provide clothing for school-aged children of the community. The
staff of our local schools will identify children and youth who come to school, day after
day, without warm and comfortable clothing. The offerings which we share will
supplement the proceeds from the recent Fall Foliage Breakfast, a portion of the youth’s
Hot Dog Booth profits, and the Care in Communities grant from Thrivent Financial for
Lutherans, and will be used to purchase clothing.
... Please share your offerings with this Ministry by using a special envelope. Indicate
“Winter Clothing Ministry” on the memo line. (Please make check’s payable to “Trinity
Lutheran Church”.) Contact the Church Office with any questions.
... “Shoppers”... Please contact Mary Ann Martz (or sign the sheet in Trinity Hall) if you
would like to participate in this ministry by serving as a “shopper”. Mary Ann has names,
sizes, special needs and preferences for about 30 local children, and can answer your
questions about this work.

Renovation-Mortgage Finance Notes
Update ~ “Phase 3 ~ Mortgage Elimination”...
... We are all benefiting from the improvements made to our facilities as part of the 2004
Building Renovation Project. The Elevator, handicapped accessible restrooms, and much
needed space enhance our ministries every day! The financial support which
parishioners and friends have shared has been marked by generosity, when we consider
where we are today, in light of the $975,000+ project.
... Please join the ranks of those who have made pledges and continue to share special
donations as we move toward the completion of these financial responsibilities...
... As of November 6, 2009
Total Project Cost ~ $ 975,000+
Phase 3 ~ $$ Goal (to retire mortgage by 12/31/2010): $ 325,000
3 Year Pledged Commitments and Donations Received (-): $ 200,378 (62%)
Remaining Need to Reach Goal: $ 124,622
Simplify your Financial Stewardship with “Simply Giving”...
Contact the church office to arrange for your offerings to be shared weekly, bi-weekly , or
monthly, as automatic withdraws from your checking or savings account...
There is no fee for this convenient service.
You can share offerings with the Regular Ministry Account of the church or any
special account (Renovation-Mortgage Offerings, Monthly Designated Appeals,
Memorial Funds, Building Fund, et al).
“Simply Giving” can be a significant aid to those who would like to improve their “self-
discipline” when it comes to weekly stewardship sharing “first-fruits” gifts.
Participating in “Simply Giving” minimizes the temptation to neglect our well-
intentioned plans when it comes to sharing in support of the Church .
You can modify, pause or stop the withdraws at any time with a simple phone call
“Simply Giving” is a great way to establish a consistent, disciplined approach to
faithful “first-fruits” giving and tithing.
“Simply Giving” enables participants to continue to support the work of the church
even when they are away from worship for occasional Sundays or extended periods.
Bedford Food Outreach ~ Distribution Day: Friday, November 20; 9:30-11:30 am

A Special Welcome to Seminarian Tormod Svensson !
Through our partnership in the Gospel with the Lutheran Theological Seminary at
Gettysburg, Trinity is blessed to welcome Seminarian Tormod Svensson into our life
and ministry. “Vicar Svensson” is a 2nd year student at the Seminary and will be with
us on Sunday mornings at worship and connecting with our Middle School and Sr
High Youth Sunday School Classes and, on Mondays, participating in the visitation
ministry of the parish.
A brief personal bio prepared by Vicar Svensson...
I was born and raised in Norway, and as such grew up Lutheran, and have lived in the
US since 1986. I came over to go to flight school to become a commercial pilot. I do have
a pilot license, but never did fly commercially, since the airline industry took a nosedive in
the late 80s. I decided to go back to my old trade which was plumbing and heating, and I
have had my own plumbing and heating business for about 17 years. I live in
Cumberland with my wife Vicki, Brandon (15), and Daniel (5). I have been a member of
Christ Lutheran Church, LaVale for about 13 years, and been very active in that
congregation; serving on council, leading Bible study groups, co-teaching confirmation
class, lector, occasional preaching, organizing disaster response work teams among
other things. I started to sense a call to ordained ministry a few years ago, and was
accepted into the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. I am pursuing an M.DIV
degree and ordained ministry in the ELCA. I am a second year student, anticipating to
complete an internship, starting next summer. I did successfully complete “Clinical
Pastoral Education” at Western Maryland Health System this summer, and I also
continue to serve there as a volunteer Chaplain. I have a positive entrance decision from
the Delaware-Maryland Synod of the ELCA. I am looking forward to getting to know the
congregation of Trinity Lutheran, as well as to be of service to you in any way I can.
In Christ!
