HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE STACEY ROBERTSON
While the weather outside doesn’t feel much like spring, we are already thinking about helping our students celebrate the end of their Spring Semester. We have traditionally sent small care packages around the time of final exams to help students cope with the stress of exams. Some schools finish by the end of April so we would like to get the packages out the week of April 11. (That’s the Sunday after Easter.) In March we will be collecting healthy snacks to send and would also appreciate a note from members of the congregation to let our students know we are thinking of them. Any other ideas for small, lightweight treats are welcome.

CAMP STEWARD CINDY LONG
How cold is it? Cold enough to start thinking about warmer weather and the summer church camp programs. Those of you who have attended camps last year should have received information in your homes last week. Both the office and I received our packets as well. All three Western Pennsylvania church camps offer a variety of camps for various lengths of stay. There are camps for the youngest of our church family to the “young at heart”. Mini camps, complete
with parents or grandparents, will welcome our youngest campers while men’s and women’s retreats will enrich the spirits of our adult campers. You can select from a variety of sports camps or a multitude of music, dance, or theater camps. There is sure to be a camp to interest you.
In the past, Trinity has been very involved in the camping program. The church will pay the registration for anyone who wants to attend camp. Camperships are available through the conference. There is even a $10 credit for anyone who has never attended a camping program before. Our church family has also been very generous in donating to the camp fund for our campers as well.
If you would like to help this year, you can do a couple things. First of all, pray that God will touch the hearts of our family so that many will feel the call to attend camp. Secondly, give whatever you can in order to support the cost ofcamping. Just mark your envelope “camperships”. Last, but not least, pray for those who attend camp this summer and send them a card or email to let them know they are in our thoughts and prayers.
Please see Dawn or me for more information.

TRINITY MISSIONARY REQUEST
Dear Trinity Church,
On March 5 I will once again be going on a one-week mission trip to th the Dominican Republic.
This will be my third year participating. We will be staying at the missionary compound in the town of Hato Mayor and will be under the guidance of a Puerto Rican missionary in Hato Mayor whose name is Pastor Carlos.
I will be going with Scott and Dale Ann Hine, who were members of Trinity Church for a number of years. They organize and head up the mission teams each year. This is their sixth year of ministry to the Dominican Republic. Our group is United Methodists from many different churches and we have been given the nickname “SHINE” (Serving Him In Nations Everywhere).
Each year on our trip our goal is to build as many homes as we can afford to build. Most of the
homes we build are in Haitian refugee villages where the people are very poor and may earn as little as $2 a day working very hard in sugarcane fields. Their tin homes consist of four sides and a roof , held together by sticks or branches, with a dirt floor. Sometimes as many as eight family members (adults and children) live in a single home. The conditions are very bad.
Our group tears down the tin homes. W e purchase wood materials in Hato Mayor for the shell of
the house and stronger tin for the roof, and we build them a new, stronger, safer home. The houses are about the size of a garage. W e build the doors and windows, and install them, and then we finish the home by pouring cement for the floor. The families are so grateful and they praise God for their new home. The fewest number of homes that we have built during our week stay was five homes and we have been blessed some years to be able to build as many as nine homes.
Each home costs around $2000 for all of the material. We hire people in each village to work with us. In addition to the homes we build, we also buy all the food in Hato Mayor to feed the entire village with enough food for two weeks. There are approximately 300 people in the village. It costs about $1500 to purchase this food. We deliver clothing, shoes, school items, and hygiene supplies that were donated.
The most important item that we hand out in the villages, however, is the 500 Spanish bibles that we take with us. Although the food they receive is very important to their daily survival, they treasure the word of God more than they do the food they are given.
In the past two years we have finished or structurally repaired three churches, poured two cement basketball courts for children to have a place to play, built wooden pews for three churches, and some of the volunteers from the group run a daily VBS for all of the children.
In the evenings we visit a different church each night. We are asked to speak at each church. We give our testimonies, we sing, and share the love of Jesus. After each service we give an altar call. Each year many people give their lives to Jesus at these worship services.
Our group also supports a missionary in Hato Mayor. Her name is Erin McFarland Rodriquez.
Erin was from Punxsutawney. Three years ago Erin went with our group and God called her into full-time mission work in the Dominican Republic and is doing wonderful work helping the people.
This year we are intending to do all the things I have mentioned in this letter PLUS see if we can
help out in Haiti. Our United Methodist mission team would first ask that you pray for us and the people of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and secondly, to prayerfully consider any monetary help that could be given to aid in our home building and feeding programs. The need is so great!
Thank you so much,
Jenna Faloon
Editor’s Note: Contributions for Jenna and her group may be placed in the offering plate or
dropped at the church office.

CAREGIVERS
Six Things Caregivers Wish They’d Known Sooner
from Reader’s Digest, 12/09 - 1/10
There are so many books and websites offering help to caregivers that you can get overwhelmed by all there is to learn and do. But sometimes what matters most are the insights that come from just doing the job. Here, a few real-life rules of caregiving.
1. It’s okay to push. “I struggled with how much to respect Marjorie’s rather stubborn nature and how much to say, ‘No, we’ve got to make a change,’” says Phil Baer, who helped care for his sister, Marjorie, after her brain cancer diagnosis. “She would take a fall and just wave it off. But one of her doctors took me aside and said, ‘Look, she’s really got to have someone with her at all times.’ And that’s when we brought in some very fine helpers.”
2. Don’t take it personally. Illnesses such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease can cause upsetting
personality changes, says Susan Morris, whose father had a stroke. “I thought he was angry with me,” shesays, “but I came to realize it was partly because of physiological changes. And that he wasn’t really angryat me but at the situation in general—and who can blame him? But he’s a grown man, and it was up to himto come to terms with it.”
3. It’s easy to over-share. Online “care pages” at sites like www.caringbridge.org make it simple to update friends and distant family on a loved one’s condition, but you can find yourself getting into details your loved one might prefer to keep private. “Some people sent mass e-mails about personal aspects of Marjorie’s care that didn’t need to go to everyone,” says Ruth Henrich, part of Marjorie Baer’s network of friends. You can set up different e-mail groups on these pages if you want some messages to go only to caregivers.
4. Protect, but not too much. “When Muhammad first started going to a gym for physical therapy [for his Parkinson’s disease], people wanted to be accommodating, so they put him in a separate area where hecould have privacy,” says Lonnie Ali, wife of the boxing legend. “Muhammad got bored out of his mind! We ended up putting him in with the public so he could show off what he could do.”
5. Love goes through changes. If a parent with dementia no longer acts like the person you knew, your feelings are likely to change. This can actually help you cope, says Julie Winokur, whose father, Herbie, had dementia. “I think you let go of your parents in small increments as they slowly disappear,” she says. “Creating some distance is a matter of self-preservation.”
6. Divvy up the work. If you’re a hands-on caregiver, your distant siblings can find lots of ways to chip in—especially if you ask. “My sister helps with our parents’ costs,” Morris says. “And I delegate all the caregiving to her when she visits—she’ll even buy groceries and cook a meal for my family. I’m really able to get a break.”

We have rescheduled the youth (in the 6th to the 12th grade) lock-in for Friday, March 19 th. The cost of the event is $5 and it will be held at the YMCA here in Indiana. We are expecting anywhere from 50 to 100 youth to attend this event. They will be coming from around the Indiana District.
The adult leadership of the district has decided to continue with the normal events that we have every year, so there won’t be munch planning going on. There will be a lot of playing however. We have a lot of fun stuff planned for our youth. We will begin the night in the swimming pool, we will then enter into a time of worship with the Christian band Lantern, and finally there will be free time for the youth. During free time they will be able to play basketball, volleyball, board games, the Wii, or just sleep.
It is going to be a great evening among United Methodist youth from 8 pm to 7 am.
