From the pen of Pastor Mark...
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
In recent years in our church and now front and center before our nation are many and various impassioned viewpoints and spotlights on race.
What does it mean as we approach Independence Day? What does it mean for us as Christians, as children of God? I don’t claim to have all or
even most of the answers. But I think our Lord does. In this spirit, let me share at least a starting point for us all, which I believe is God-centered.
It begins with a story.
In 2005 in Oregon, Dena and I were on the verge of having our first child, Lauren. We read parenting book after parenting book and asked advice
of various other parents. We specifically asked the advice of parents who seemed to have well-adjusted children as well as those who didn’t.
Without saying this to any of the parents, we wanted to learn and gain as much as we possibly could about what to do, and about what not to do!
To our amazement, much of parenting then and even now is often “child-centered” rather than “parent-centered,” with the child seen as the
“expert” of various parenting discernments, such as when to eat, when they should sleep, etc. Parents pick up on the cues of the children and
essentially respond to needs as the children express them. Long story short, Dena and I witnessed a lot of meltdowns, overstimulation,
overtiredness, etc. from child-centered parenting time and time again. Parent-centered kids more often seemed well-adjusted, and in the midst
of routines, patterns and structure, they seemed much more stable, content, and well…happy.
Looking at the animal kingdom and throughout God’s creation, I’m not aware of cubs, fawns, kits, joeys, etc. who essentially direct their mama
and papa “bears” as to how to raise them. More often than not, the parent teaches what is food, how to get it, what to stay away from, what the
boundaries are, and what is and isn’t acceptable behavior. Essentially, parents teach their young about the world.
So, I recommend a more parent-centered approach, which also reflects God’s design lived out through instinct and behavior in much of God’s
creation. Yet one immediate exception of this to me is race and racism. In this instance, I think the adults in our nation and throughout the world
would do well to learn from our children, particularly the very young ones who haven’t yet been infected by teachings that distort in their minds
and hearts the beauty and value of who they are as a child of God, and the innate God-created beauty and value of all God’s children. You
know, the ones who have yet to be taught to fear, to label, to divide, to judge, based on all the social constructs that humans have created both
individually and systemically that aren’t and never were God-centered? These are the children I believe who can be our teachers.
Yes, we must hold on to our wisdom and the life lessons of our mistakes and sins of the past. Yet we also desperately need a childlike faith, with
eyes and hearts and spirits that see and know ourselves and each other more like God does. Left to our own, we simply continue to live or even
recreate the old sins and/or create new ways to live broken from each other and from God. In childlike faith, we need to be willing to re-learn, to
re-think, to re-live, through God’s eyes and through the inspiration of God’s Holy Spirit. When I speak of this, at least in terms of race and racism,
I’m referring to just about every living adult on the planet. We are beautiful, and yet also sinful as humans. Thus, the ultimate answer is not a
new system, a new government, a new institution. Yes we can and should improve our institutions, but each of these systems will be flawed
just as our current systems are flawed due to a hard sobering reality: they are all run and lived out by humans. God is the answer. Love is the
answer. And God is love.
In faithfulness to God, where do we begin? More fingers seem to be pointed right now, and with ever-changing targets to which they’re pointed,
than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. It is true, in our human sinfulness, that there is much blame to go around, about many things. But what is it we
deeply want? At least for me, I deeply want us all, in God’s grace, to live a little more closely each day in the foretaste of the feast to come. For
this to happen, it makes sense for us to see each other and ourselves more with God’s eyes, and to love each other and ourselves as God has
first loved us, through Christ Jesus. As pastor, although some of this love and insight does happen, I see a lot of it NOT happening, and I could
readily point a widespread finger to both the politically incorrect of the moment and the politically correct. I also believe I would likely have some
godly justification in doing so. But what do I want? Do I want to vent? Do I want to temporarily feel better? Or do I want change?
So may I take that finger of mine, and in gentleness and honesty and openness, may I draw it back in God’s love deeply and fully to myself.
And if you want change, I invite you to do the same, praying that God will inspire us all more and more each day, to live and love in Christ-like
community as the children of God we’ve all been called to be.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church: MONTHLY UPDATE
Continued from previous page
May we learn from our children, and make a start from within ourselves, praying for God to mold us and shape us as His precious children, opening
ourselves to God’s will just as this favorite song invites us.
“Here I am, Lord.
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.”
And finally, who are God’s people, the ones we are called to hold so closely in our hearts? That is the question. And the answer, I believe…….. is
yes.
In Christ’s Love and From My Heart,
A Message from our Church Council President:
Dear Friends in Christ:
I (still!) hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well. It’s turning into a bit of a marathon, isn’t it? Seems like no
matter what section of the newspaper you turn to there’s another crisis of some sort. But there are also some signs of good
changes as well. As I’m writing this there are stories about new flare-ups of COVID-19 around but sandwiched in-between
those stories are stories of other states, including Georgia, where the numbers of new cases are staying level or dropping even as
they re-open their economies (Cobb and Cherokee counties are actually dropping).
Your COVID-19 working group has worked up a series of procedures, based on authorities like the CDC and the SE Synod, for
us to re-open the church both soon and safely. This is a very big step for our community to get back together in person, but also
safely! If you’re not comfortable yet with being in an in-person environment, please remember that our re-opening is an
invitation and not a command as we are always concerned first with your safety and comfort.
Also, we are going to continue streaming services as we have been, and we have invested in the technology to make the
streaming crisper and clearer than it has been to date. We have heard recently that many of you really enjoy the streamed
services and we are glad to continue this service long after the Pandemic issues have been resolved.
That’s all good, but we should also remember that stressful times can lead to people stepping up to meet the challenge of loving
our brothers and sisters no matter what is going on. If you haven’t heard Pr. Mark’s sermon on June 13/14 you definitely
should replay it on Facebook Live. I won’t repeat Pr. Mark’s sermon, but the short version is that a couple of policemen, in full
uniform, ended up alone and surrounded by protesters. Perhaps surprisingly, several protesters walked over and put themselves
between the policemen and the other protestors to make sure they were safe.
Point of the story, we’re all empowered as Christians to act out of love and to change the world in small, but important ways.
External events don’t have to just happen to us, we can have an impact in a day-to-day way that can bridge gaps and help other
people understand how much we all have in common.
I’ve always been taken by the words that “All are welcome” - it’s such a powerful message when you think about it.
Yours in Christ,
Mark Ritter
Stewardship Committee:
"Each one helps the other, saying to one another, 'take courage.'" -- Isaiah 41:6
Throughout this challenging time of social unrest in the midst of a global pandemic, it can be easy to get caught up in the
shifting news cycle of the day. As Christians, we take comfort and action based on the steadfast presence and promise of the
Good News of Jesus Christ.
Together, we are called to GO as servants of the Lord. This newsletter says it all in its name: The Trumpet. We trumpet the
incredible gift of God's ultimate salvation and His promises through our words and deeds. Our faith is bolstered by God's
history of delivering on His promises, though as humans, we often still seek proof. Thankfully, through a search of our own
living history and that which is laid bare in our Bibles, we find countless examples of God's favor and redemption.
The Trumpet is a wonderful overview of how Holy Trinity is using the foundation of our faith to serve our neighbors in big
and small ways. While we have been physically distant, we are called together in one faith, and our Holy Trinity congregation
continues to put this into action.
Thank you for continuing to serve God's children through gifts of time, talent and treasure to our congregation and to the wider
world. Whether you have been able to rejoin services this month, or you are continuing to maintain a physical distance by
participating in our continuing live-streaming worship services, we appreciate the many ways you are ensuring that this
congregation remains growing together in Christ.

Children, Adult and Family Ministry Update
Yay! Summer is here and we are back at church! Our Children’s Ministry is still virtual but I hope you get to come to
Rally Day on July 26th. We’ll enjoy seeing everyone’s faces that we’ve missed. There will be outside, socially
distanced games and activities for the children, and a meal for everyone to enjoy. After, we’ll have a well-planned
egg hunt, with areas marked to keep all participants safe. Watch for details of coming events. Everything will be
done with attention to current safety policies.
One of our favorite new happenings is our Children’s
Sunday School video. Our Super Stars (Cowan-Reese
family) are in fine form each week as they lead us
through different truths from the Word. We have
finished a study of the Lord's Prayer and The Great
Commission just to name a couple of lessons. You
can find the presentation each week on our Facebook
site.
Morning Watch Kids is also on Youtube and there
are many videos to check out. It is two Brothers that
are Lutheran Pastors and they have a fun way of
incorporating faith and Bible stories into a kid-
friendly message.
I hope you ordered your tee shirts! I can't wait to see
a bunch of us all decked out in purple with a great
message for our community right on them!
As we celebrate the birth of our nation, it is going through a very difficult time. God knows all that we are facing and
feeling and has a solution for it all. Let us look to Him to help us, look with His eyes and use our ears to hear His
voice and seek to live like this verse in John 13:35.
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." May we be a people who live in a
way that others will know we are His followers, too!
The Wired Word is meeting each Sunday at 11:15 AM on Zoom. It is
lead by Guy Gebhardt and Bill Hetherington. Please contact Guy at
GuyGebhardt1@gmail.com if you would like to join.
Monday School is now Zooming every other monday
morning at 10 AM, July 6, July 20, August 3, 17 and 31st.

hard that we will someday soon be able to resume our joy-filled circle of Monday
School Sisters.

THANK YOU TO WON-HEE AN for teaching music theory classes for our Adult Choir and
Handbell Choir this past month. She is a very skilled teacher, and we are blessed to have her
serving as our Associate Music Minister.
BACK TO WORSHIPING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY CORPORATELY. A large amount of
preparation and work has occurred to make it possible for us to worship together again. Thank you
to our COVID Task Force, pastors, and staff for setting up the parameters we need for our safety.
These plans have been approved by our Church Council. We will be able to sing together, but fewer
stanzas. Instrumental music will be our primary source of “song” for the immediate future in order
to insure everyone’s complete safety. You can hum along in your head and enjoy sending praise to
God as you listen. Its going to be great to see and be with everyone again. Vince

Here’s an easy way to help support Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at no extra cost to you

we call home. Our stores are on a mission to not just be part of, but to help create a stronger
community. Thank you for being such an important organization in our community.
We encourage you to support Holy Trinity by linking your Kroger digital account to Holy Trinity.
1. Create a digital account if you don’t have one (you can download the app for your phone). A digital account is

transactions apply toward the organization you choose.

Community Rewards selection in the menu.
3. Search for your organization in this section and choose Holy Trinity Lutheran Church (YT775).
By doing that, a small percentage of your purchase will be given to Holy Trinity, and there is no extra charge to you.

Update Update
Pay it BACK … Pay it DOWN… Pay it FORWARD
Total dollars pledged over three years: $645,080 Actual dollars received to date: $340,125
I trust…and pray, that this update finds each and every member of Holy Trinity staying safe, remaining well,
and taking care as much as possible during these unprecedented times. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected
about every aspect of our daily lives. Despite this situation, the dedicated and thoughtful members of Holy
Trinity continue to support our Three-Year (2019 – 2021) Capital Campaign.
Obviously, there has been a delay in project completions based on the safety precautions and regulations
implemented by the Synod as well as the Governor of Georgia. However, a much-needed new industrial
dishwasher has been installed in the upper kitchen. An updated list of the completed and planned projects
will be available when we all are able to safely worship together again, hopefully sooner than later.
Please continue to remember the three segments of our Capital Campaign in your giving:
Pay it BACK: This segment provides funds to upgrade and repair our Church home.
Pay it DOWN: This segment allows HT members to designate their contributions directly to the principle
balance of the mortgage.
Pay it FORWARD: This segment, currently a tithe (10%) of the contributed dollars each year, is our
outreach to three programs: 1) Lutheranch, 2) The Southeastern Synod & 3) Guyana Mission.
If you are a new member of Holy Trinity, or your circumstances now permit, please consider supporting HT’s
Capital Campaign. Pledge cards are available upon request.
Stay safe, remain well, and take care.
