JULY 2020
IN THIS ISSUE FROM THE PASTOR Book Read Events Dear Trinity family, Calendar Favorite Potluck Recipes It is time. Actually, it’s way past time. I would like to invite Financial update you to join me on the journey to become an anti-racist church. June Council Highlights It will be a long journey and it will be a hard one. None of Resources to begin learning you are individually racist. Yet, because we all live in and listening about racism in America America, and I’m guessing most grew up in America, we July Flower Chart participate in racist systems and have racist attitudes whether Testimonials we realize it or not. In Our Prayers The mirror was held up to my face when I got married. I realized in my first anti-racism training that I had been treating my own husband as less than, making excuses and coddling him as he moved to this country and tried to get a job, all in the name of “protecting” him. Well, that had to stop fast. And he was the one who named our mutual prison (for both black and white) in a way I couldn’t see. Then we experienced racism in the church and again when our children were born and it’s been part of our lives every day since – actually a part of my whole life without my even realizing it.
I remember when Trayvon Martin was killed – I thought, “That could have been Alexander.” I was now a mother that had to talk to her brown skinned son about how to stay safe out in the world. If he had been white, I wouldn’t have dreamed of having to have that conversation. Many killings later, our country has come to a point where we need to face our own sin of racism, even in the church. But it’s a long journey. It will take time. It will take a willingness to have long, hard conversations with one another. It will take the willingness to listen to one another. It will take the willingness to have the mirror put up to our own faces. Since I have come to Trinity, we have had the occasional African-American visitor. But they aren’t here today. And the reasons, I believe, are ones we don’t even realize. So I invite you into the conversations. I invite you into the journey with me and with others in our synod as we wrestle with this insidious embedded disease.
Every year the Greater Milwaukee Synod offers opportunities for anti-racism training. There will be opportunity again in October and November. The synod has an anti-racism team that can walk with us on this journey. You heard about this team from Jerry Key during last year’s Lenten series. Along with this article I will be including a rather extensive resource list for you to begin or continue listening and learning. Find what you can handle right now and take the first step. Right now I’m reading “Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US” by Lenny Duncan. It’s helping me focus on the embedded racist elements in our liturgies and hymns – things while growing up I never thought twice about.
I’d like to build a small team to help me provide opportunities for Trinity to begin the conversation. If you are interested, please contact me. I will also invite some folks individually. I leave you with a quote from “Dear Church”.
Dear Church, the work I describe in this book requires committed love, affection, and a sense of fidelity. Committing to long-term change and relationship building is a risky venture for all parties involved; multiply that risk by 3.5 million. What is needed to dismantle white supremacy in this church is a scalpel, not a broadsword, and its fine edge is sharpened on a bedrock of love. We are engaging in soul surgery. That requires organizing and community, and you can’t do any of that without love and relationship. We have to start building this beloved community if we want to see it played out on the world stage. It will begin first in our sanctuaries, but it is our call to take it out into the world. Trinity has claimed relationship as one of our values. We have also claimed our mission to be “Sharing the story of Jesus Christ so all may experience God’s love.” If we are serious about ‘all’ experiencing God’s love and we are serious about relationships, then we need to begin this work intentionally. Another of our values is ‘Empowerment’ for service and leadership. This will be one way we empower one another to serve and lead for the work of God’s Kingdom, a Kingdom that does not have borders and welcomes all in ways we have been unable to do.
I look forward to this journey together. I have already invited Matt McDaniel on this journey. You will hear his voice in the August Tidings.
Peace, Pastor Denise

Council Highlights from the June 2020 meeting:
● During devotions we shared where we have seen God working in the last month. ● The council reviewed the “Trinity Trickle Back Plan” and determined that we are not yet ready to open up again. COVID-19 cases are rising, and the county and state have not met their criteria for treating this virus effectively. ● The finance team thanked the congregation for their generosity in May! Thank you Trinity! ● There was discussion about a security camera to monitor the front and back doors and the narthex area. Next step: get quotes. ● There was discussion around Vacation Bible School possibilities and drive-in worship possibilities. A survey will be sent to the congregation for each consideration. ● It was reported that Paul Barribeau will be taking pictures of the building and beginning interviews with small groups as we move ahead with the Altar Alterations visioning process. ● The council members that attended the Stewardship for All Seasons session on the council’s role in the church shared their takeaways with the whole group. ● The council’s next visioning session to finalize our Strategic Ministry Goals will be June 18.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Submitted by Patty Rosek-Johnson
Dear Trinity family,
The curriculum for Oak Creek East Middle School’s 8th grade Civics class includes a self-defined project that gives students an opportunity to explore what it means to be an engaged citizen. My daughter Clare had planned to team up with a friend and do a presentation on suicide prevention awareness with a corresponding fundraiser. I applied for and received a Thrivent Action Grant to defray some of the costs of the fundraiser and room rental fees…and then school closed because of the pandemic. While the teachers decided to make the Civics project optional this year because of the circumstances, we still had the Thrivent Grant money to use. As Clare and I were brainstorming how to use the funds, she said, “What about that place where we served breakfast with the Confirmation group?” I LOVE that her first thought was The Guest House, an organization that Trinity has built a relationship with!
I went to The Guest House’s website and discovered that they are having some of their own challenges during this pandemic. They put together a list of “Urgent Basic Needs” for their residents that includes everything from nonperishable food items to men’s t-shirts and underwear. They even have an Amazon Wish List, so you can purchase items from the comfort of your own home and have them shipped directly to The Guest House. Clare is excited to go shopping for these men and deliver some much-needed supplies.
One of Trinity’s values identified in the Visioning process is Generosity. Though this pandemic has challenged all of us to do things differently than we had before, I am thankful there are still ways we can act on our value of Generosity. If you are also interested in helping The Guest House, visit https://www.guesthouseofmilwaukee.org for more information. I hope you are well and able to enjoy the lovely summer weather!
God Bless, Patty

Member Spotlight Submitted by Sandy Mueller
Welcome to Member Spotlight, a Tidings feature brought to you by the Stewardship Ministry Team. Each article spotlights a different member of Trinity, providing an in- depth snapshot of a member of our TLC family.
This month’s spotlight is on Katie Keller, who is a part of TLC’s youth leadership.
Sandy: Tell us about yourself. Katie: My name is Katie Keller; I am a child of God, runner, musician and student. I am 17 and have been going to Trinity since I was born. I love it at Trinity, the people here truly feel like a second family. Outside of church, in the summer, I go on family vacations or to our lake house, train for cross country, and spend time with friends and family. During the school year I take AP classes, participate in the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra as a violinist, run cross country and track, work at TJ Maxx, and am a member of our school’s business & marketing club (DECA). My faith has a big role in my life and gets me through the difficulty and strength it takes to run races, staying inspired to play music, and when I get stressed or busy, knowing my worth and that God is taking care of me, as just a few examples. Special experiences that stand out to me from my high school years include building confidence, and improving at running, because I know God renews my strength, and loves me for who he created me to be. And, getting to know even better everyone at TLC, especially through the youth group and our outings like the ELCA Youth Gathering!
Sandy: What led you to join the youth group and get more involved with the church? Katie: My family started attending Trinity shortly after my parents moved to South Milwaukee in 2000. Growing up, I especially enjoyed Sunday school and singing along at worship services, but as I started confirmation classes, I started to become more aware of my faith. I enjoyed being with Pastor Bill and my confirmation small group once a week in middle school, and I learned a lot about God and Christianity. Once I was confirmed, and entered high school, I became even more passionate about my faith and involvement. I started participating in the youth group (Triniteens), which I found to be such an amazing, caring and fun environment, how could I not go! I also joined because it was a good way to spend time with both my siblings and friends my age who share my faith. Being closer to this community inspired me to participate in worship services and join a ministry team. Also, my sophomore year I participated in Soul Purpose, which I joined because I love worship music, singing, and I was able to play my violin with the group. I am so grateful for everyone who I bonded with and the Trinity community for being so accepting and making our church a great place to be involved!
Sandy: What other activities do you participate in, and what do you like best about them? Katie: I participate in Triniteens and the Youth Ministry Team, which both allow me to have a lot of involvement at church. Through these groups I have delivered sermons, readings or skits for youth-led worship services, attended Sunday night sessions of Triniteens, organized/participated in youth events/fundraisers such as the Palm Sunday Breakfast, and gone on trips, including Quake retreats and the ELCA youth gathering. What I like best about youth group is spending time with my fellow Triniteens and going on retreats. These are both amazing ways to be active in my faith, love for God, and support for others that I am glad to get the opportunity to partake in. I enjoy going to Triniteens on Sunday nights because it is a great way to relax, talk and have fun with my friends that includes conversations about faith and everything going on at Trinity. Retreats are life-changing experiences that show you God’s love and power through meeting new people and worshiping/learning in new ways. I also volunteer for events such as the Meatball Supper and God’s Work, Our Hands. In the past I organized one of the God’s Work, Our Hands service projects, taking place in Grant Park. Regarding music, in addition to singing in Soul Purpose, I have played my violin during service for occasions such as the Holden Evening Prayer Lenten Services. I enjoy playing hymns - I even played along with some from the online, livestream services for my family over this time where we cannot physically be at TLC - and I hope I will be able to play at even more services in the future!
Sandy: How has your involvement in these activities impacted your spiritual life?
Katie: Being a part of the youth group has given me friendships
that I can build outside of church. Participating in the Youth Ministry Team and leading services or the God’s Work, Our
Hands project has given me a lot of confidence to speak about what I believe in, and leadership skills that I can apply to other areas of life and my future. But more important than the character attributes I have gained, church activities, and the ways I apply them to my faith make me feel closer to God. My spiritual life has developed in a positive way through my involvement at church and this makes me so happy! Triniteens has helped me relate to others who share my faith. I am happiest when I am with people who teach me more about faith and love, who I can talk to about Christianity, who I can relate to when it comes to being a steward of my faith. Youth gatherings taught me about accepting everyone and reaching out and connecting with others who share your faith, so that everyone knows they are loved. In addition, TLC and my faith have helped me to be authentically myself, and retreats really make me feel like truly myself, never judged. God’s Work, Our Altar Flowers for July Hands has taught me how anyone can spread God’s love and help those in need through community involvement. Worship services July 5 Mark and Karen Sostarich and sermons have inspired me to read the Bible more and start Jon and Ann Good Bible journaling (highlighting important verses, adding reflections/comments, writing key phrases in creative ways). Soul July 12 Cheryl Parkinson Purpose has showed me how even more powerful worshiping God Kevin and Ashley Larson and affirming your faith can be through music. Overall, being connected with God and strong in faith is something I will always July 19 Dan and Laurie Soddy, * value, and being a member at Trinity has helped me to enrich these values.

Good news for May. We had a positive month which helped to substantially reduce our YTD deficit. May’s net income was $4,388, and YTD deficit is now down to a manageable ($1,503). Much like most years, this has been a roller coaster ride for the first 5 months but with a somewhat healthy financial position going into the summer months. We did have five weekends in May which helped increase income while keeping expenses down for the month.

We continue to need your financial support on a regular basis. You can either mail in your donations, drop them off at church during open office hours on Monday and Wednesday, or use Tithe.ly electronic giving.

Favorite Potluck Recipes
Sour Cream Funeral Twists Submitted by Joanna Miller
“This was my wonderful role model, Mabel Kaun, Oma (German for Grandma)‘s recipe. They are called sour cream twists, but she brought them to every funeral she ever went to, so she started to call them “funeral twists“ and to this day, anyone who is a descendant of hers brings them to funerals. I loved her very very very much and am sad that Aron and the girls never got to meet her. She died a year and half before I met Aron and of course we had funeral twists at her funeral as well.” The recipe for Sour Cream Funeral Twists and Frosting appeared in the Milwaukee Journal on May 7, 1980. It was selected as a recipe for “Best Cook on the Block,” a series in the Food Section. Mabel was nominated by her daughter-in-law, Doris Kaun.
1 pkg dry yeast 1 cup sour cream 1 egg 1 cup margarine 3 ½ cups flour 1 tsp salt ½ cup sugar (approximately) Frosting (recipe below)
In mixing bowl, blend yeast with sour cream and egg. Let stand a few minutes. In another bowl blend margarine, flour, and salt to pie crust consistency. Add yeast mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate about two hours.
Divide dough in two pieces. On sugared board, sprinkle top of one dough piece with sugar and roll to ¼ inch thickness. Sprinkle lightly with sugar again; fold in half and roll again. Repeat folding and sugaring process three or four times. Roll again to ½ inch thickness. Cut in strips about size of fingers (three inches long by ½ inch wide). Twist dough fingers a few times. Repeat for remaining dough.
Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned (watch carefully). Remove twists from oven, cool on baking sheet and frost while slightly warm. Makes about 60 twists.
Frosting 1 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp margarine 1 Tbsp milk ½ tsp vanilla
Blend all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth, spreading consistency, adding more milk if necessary.
