Senior Program and Luncheon
Wednesday, June 8th at 11:00 a.m.
ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION
10 WARNING SIGNS OF ALZHEIMER'S:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life - One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; relying on memory aides (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What's typical? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later.
- Challenges in planning or solving problems - Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What's typical? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure - People with Alzheimer's often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What's typical? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.
- Confusion with time or place - People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What's typical? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later.
- Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships - For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast. In terms of perception, they may pass a mirror and think someone else is in the room. They may not realize they are the person in the mirror. What's typical? Vision changes related to cataracts
- New problems with words in speaking or writing - People with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock"). What's typical? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps - A person with Alzheimer's disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time. What's typical? Misplacing things from time to time, such as a pair of glasses or the remote control
- Decreased or poor judgment - People with Alzheimer's may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean. What's typical? Making a bad decision once in a while.
- Withdrawal from work or social activities - A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced. What's typical? Sometimes feeling weary of work, family and social obligations
- Changes in mood and personality - The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone. What's typical? Developing very specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when a routine is disrupted
GOOD SAMARITAN NEWS
Good Samaritan Class Picnic
Thursday, June 23rd at 6:00 p.m.
Blue Spruce Park
***
During the month of May the class has been enjoying the class by Pastor Greg. We
studied the Resurrection Story as told by each of the four Gospels.
It's good to welcome back Pat from the southland. I believe all are now back in
the fold.
We continue to think of Vi's son-in-law in our prayers as he continues to suffer
with cancer.
We very much miss Jane B. She's such a kind, smiling addition to the class and
we pray she'll soon be feeling much better.
The following article from Kay and Woody S will make all of us long to go with
them next year.
"Consider the following package: golf, live shows, picnics by the lake, dinners,dances, Bible study, choir - two praise team practices, chorus participation (45 members), parties by streets, House Blest mission project weekly. The previous events are constant from December to April. There is no end to the activities one can choose to be involved with in our park. Our church in Haines City is joining with the U.M. Church in Davenport. The new name is New Horizon. We have two new pastors: Sarah Miller and Pam Childer. A high point is the church is growing. At our Christmas Cantata I got to sing in a choir with eight tenors (what a joy!). Kay & I meet Ed Downey and wife, Wanda, for lunch once a week. He leads our Bible Class. They are special people and Ed has a great sense of humor. Our park church is now incorporated under the New Horizon church. It is called The Lord's Church at Lake Henry. This church is alive and well. God has caused this church to be a blessing to our community. It cares for and nurtures the entire park community as well as giving to mission projects outside the park community.The past Easter sunrise service was attended by 140 folks. Above and beyond the above - the new relationships, excursions, SUNSHINE, and visits from family add to the joy we have down south."
Our May class meeting was moved from May 17 to May 24 so that the ladies could attend
the Sue Duffield service. Twenty-two people attended the class meeting. Devotions were led by Marian B and refreshments were served by Wilma C and Ted and Louise D. As always, the
fellowship was special. Special prayers were prayed for Fred B and Ruth Ann H.
The June class meeting will be a covered dish picnic on Thursday, June 23rd at Blue Spruce Park at 6:00 p.m.
God never gives up on anyone. What a great realization!

BENEFIT SPAGHETTI DINNER
Stacey Bartlebaugh:
Since my trip to Haiti the needs of the Haitian people weigh on my mind and heart daily. I
met a young woman named Megan on our last trip, and in an instant knew my future mission
was to support her mission in any way that I could. She has recently acquired 2 acres of land
in Gressier Haiti, and she plans to build a school. They plan to start building without full funds
to finish the building with the prayer that God will provide. I have never met anyone like Megan her entire mission and daily life rely completely in the faith that God will provide. I plan to hold several after church luncheon fundraisers to help financially support the building of this Haitian school.
Please join us Sunday June 12 at 11:00 a.m. for a pasta dinner that includes tomato and alfredo sauces, homemade meatballs, salad and deserts.

MISSION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Church Council has voted to have Trinity join with eleven other churches in the county to
participate in the Interfaith Hospitality Network program. This is a program to assist temporarily homeless people find a home and to house and give them meals until that goal is accomplished. Network "guests" would stay in our church from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. for one week about once every three months. Each morning guests are taken to a day center where they work with the Network director to seek housing, employment, and other resources to help them regain their independence. It is a program to keep families from being separated during this time of looking for another home. Thank you to all who have willingly volunteered to help with this endeavor. If you did not fill out a volunteer sheet and would like to help there are still forms at both entrances to the sanctuary.
Thanks to all the talented people who contributed hand-made items for the Relay for Life "talent
basket." The basket will be raffled off at the Relay for Life weekend and proceeds of the raffle will benefit the American Cancer Society. Thanks again for the beautiful hand-made items.

To ALL the helpers,
Thank you so much for the support, help, desserts, and prayers during the planning for Chocolate & Chuckles and the awesome evening that we had with Sue Duffield. There were so many who stepped forward to help that I could not name each one. It would not have been such a success without your help. The guests to our church were many, and I believe we showed God’s love and presence to each of them.

Dear Friends in Christ at Trinity United Methodist Church,
Thank you so much for your recent donation to the Salvation Army. As spring begins, new needs begin for the many individuals we serve throughout the year. Utilities are facing shut off after the long winter months of high heating bills. Many individuals are facing lay-offs because of raises in health subsidies, high costs of transportation and cutbacks in spending. All this coupled with cutbacks from other funding sources has put us in a financial hardship but with your help we will continue to provide much needed services to the community. God Bless You!

Dear Friends:
Thank you very much for your gift of $300 to the ministry of The House of the Carpenter, Inc. We are grateful for your continued support of our ministry to feed the hungry. We are especially thankful to you for helping us during the period of Alan Shawn Feinstein’s “March Against Hunger.” The more contributions we receive, the greater the proportion of his million-dollar
match we will receive. Of course, this gives us the ability to help more needy families. Thank you for joining with us in the ministry. Your gift makes it possible to extend God’s love to those we serve in a very tangible way.
Sincerely,
