RECTOR’S REFLECTIONS
As of August 2014, I’ve served as Ascension & Holy
Trinity’s rector for four years. It seems like time is flying past
me. Ascension & Holy Trinity has been doing really good
ministry together as the body of Christ. We have been intentional
about what we are doing and why we are doing it. New
ministries are coming to fruition, and there is an amazing spirit
about the place (one could call that the Holy Spirit)!
With our mission and our vision, with our raving successful
capital campaign, and with all of the good ministries happening
every day in our midst, I felt the need for us to acknowledge who
we are as Ascension & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. I have
worked diligently with our Vestry and with Sarah Cotterill, Ariel
Miller, and Taylor Gittings, toward creating a brand new logo for
our amazing faith community. Your Vestry is in support of this
new logo, and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.
Logos should be self-explanatory, and I believe our logo is
just that. In an effort to be abundantly clear though, the “A” section of the logo represents “Ascension.” The intersecting triangles forming the crossbar for the “A” represent the Holy Trinity.
Who are we? We are Ascension & Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church in a new day and a new age where we are intentionally
going forth putting the love of Jesus Christ into our everyday
actions. It is an exciting time to be
a part of this amazing church. I
hope you enjoy and appreciate
the new logo as I anticipate our
logo being on many different things
so that we garner more and more
recognition and awareness in
Wyoming and our surrounding
communities.
In God’s Grace,
Eric L. Miller+ Rector

I couldn’t be happier to announce to the Ascension & Holy Trinity
faith community that Rolf Stottmann has agreed to serve as our 2014
stewardship chairperson. Rolf serves on Vestry, teaches Sunday School,
led our Staten Island Mission Trip, and offers so much more for
our church. Rolf is one example among many of active and engaged
parishioners in the life of Ascension & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church!
You’ll be hearing from Rolf in the coming months about stewardship,
but I want you to hear from me about what stewardship means to me. All
that I have and all that I am is a gift from God. I have been gifted with
many things in life. I am able to serve you, the good and faithful of our
parish. I have a loving wife and wonderful children. The gifts God has
given me could go on and on, and I do not mean that egotistically. All of
you have been given abundant gifts from our Creator, too.
Stewardship is how I choose to respond to God with the gifts God has
freely given. Do I give all of my attention to the gift of serving the church
and ignore the gift of my family? Do I spend all of my time with my
family to the detriment of serving God’s Church? How do I choose to
spend my time? Is my time spent 100% at the soccer fields or in the
church or on the streets of Wyoming running with my dog or writing
sermons or out at dinner with friends? Stewardship is about our time and
so much more.
Yes, stewardship is about our money, too. I know that Episcopalians do
not like talking about money. I get it, truly. I’ve told my children that we
don’t talk about money in public. But let’s be honest, Jesus tells us that
where our treasure is, there is where our hearts are. I’ve had folks in the
past assume that my family and I don’t give to the church since I work for
the church—wrong! The church is a huge part of my life, and because of
that we give to God’s holy Church in terms of time, talent, and treasure. It
is a gift to be able to give back to the Church for the glory of God. Would
I give to God’s Church if I didn’t serve as a priest? You betcha!
I love stewardship because it causes me to think about where I share my
time, my talents, and my treasure. You want to know the truth of it? The
real, hard and uncomfortable truth is that in giving of time my family gets
the short end of the stick. I’m not writing this asking for anyone’s pity.
We all have choices to make. Where do you share your time, your talents,
and your treasure? Think about that question. Pray about that question.
Talk about that question with your spouse, your partner, your children,
your grandchildren, your neighbor in the pew. We’ve been blessed with so
much. How will we give to further the expansion of God’s kingdom in the
here and now?
In God’s Grace, Eric L. Miller+

TAKING GOD’S LOVE INTO THE
WORLD BY HELPING
OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED
It's a time of change for the Helping Our Neighbors In Need ministries
we at A&HT support. We are embracing three new ministries:
Valley Interfaith Food & Clothing Center's VINE Project.
As members of the congregation heard from Ms. Casey Hinkel on
Sunday Sept. 14, the VINE Program is up and running, helping a class of
VIFCC's clients escape the poverty trap. For volunteer opportunities to
support this exciting new ministry through providing meals and/or fundraising, contact Kim Wissemann.
Matthew 25 Ministries.
Mary Melville is organizing regular "mission trip" visits to this Blue Ash
ministry that helps the poor worldwide and also responds to disasters
around the globe. M25M is very well organized for putting volunteers to
work. No training needed and no commitment beyond the visit.
St. Paul Village.
A community of low-income seniors managed by Episcopal Retirement
Homes and located in Madisonville. A&HT volunteers will assist with
monthly Games Day events and occasional parties. Again, no training
needed and the only commitment is to enjoy the event. Contact Noel
Horne for more information.
Here's an updated list of the Helping Our Neighbors In Need ministries we
now support:
HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED MINISTRIES.
Our church family has a strong tradition of active participation in neighborsin-need ministries and projects. We continue this tradition by providing financial and organizational support and by enabling members of our church family to experience the joy of serving those in need. Here is an outline of our
current focus. To volunteer your time, talent or treasure to support these
ministries, please speak with the listed contact persons.
We support church family members who are active in the following local
ministries.

join us Monday, October 27 at 7pm for a hands-on look at a
hot issue in this second session of our Steps Towards Social
Justice series. Bring your pencil and discover by working
with real numbers how the minimum wage affects you as a
participant in the US economy and as a taxpayer. We'll share
a Bible study, then brainstorm what you can do as a moral
voice, a citizen, and employer to apply faith and facts to the
current question of what to do with the minimum wage.

The Bible Challenge – Reading the Bible in a Year
Informational Meeting – October 19th,
11:15am in the Assembly Room
*Note – this is a week later than originally advertised
Who’s ready to take a journey that promises to be truly transformative?
This is challenge that you can take on yourself, along with your
spouse our friends, or possibly with your whole family, as there will be
children options!
When we first discussed this challenge at a meeting I thought –
“Wow. I would love to do that but honestly I do not think I am capable.” But upon praying about it, knowing the most rewarding things in
life are usually the toughest, I started to actually consider it. Then ironically, I read a blog that I have been reading and it was about this very
thing! This gentleman has read the bible through for the last 15 years
and had this to say about it:
“Begin your Bible reading time with prayer, either as part of your
devotional time or just ask God to open His word to you as your read
and make you sensitive to what He wants you to learn. You will begin
to see that God uses the regular input that you are receiving to shape
your life and attitude for the better. Paul calls it a “transforming” of the
mind as we see life from God’s perspective and not our own. This regular Bible input gives God the raw materials to build positive change in
your life.”
There are numerous ways we can go about taking on this Challenge:
including numerous resources to follow, apps for your phone, and different books to use during your daily reading. Some of you have probably
already done this and your input would be wonderful! Please come to a
brief meeting on Oct 19th at 11:15 in the Assembly Room to talk about
the different options and set a date to begin this journey together!
(Continued from page 8)
You'll leave with resources for tracking the real impact on
real people - your neighbors, children, and this congregation
- of keeping or raising the minimum wage. This session will
be facilitated by Ariel Miller and Carolyn Finke.
We especially encourage you to invite neighbors and your
teenage children to this shared experience of applied faith.

Dear Ascension & Holy Trinity,
I want to thank you for your gracious attitudes during our trial phases
of adjusting our “Invitations & Celebrations” section to our Sunday liturgy.
As you’ll recall, we tried a month offering the Invitations & Celebrations at
the beginning of the liturgy, a month in the middle, and a month at the end
of the service. Several weeks ago we sent out a survey requesting feedback
from your experience with the adjustments.
First, let me say thank you for the manner in which the majority of you
responded. You could tell that the Invitation/Celebration placement is quite
important to several of you, and you stated your opinion and reasoning in a
loving and respectful manner. In addition, I want to thank you all for your
responses, and am pleased with the number received.
I sat down with the Worship Commission Sunday September 21st and
reviewed the survey responses. It was pretty clear that the majority of folks
believe the most ideal location is after the Peace. I am comfortable keeping our Invitations & Celebrations after the Peace. I listened to a suggestion from a parishioner to try moving the time of the announcements;
and am happy with the way this process played out. Remember, we tried
adjusting the time slot because several parishioners felt the announcements
at the Peace disruptive to the liturgy.
After reading your comments, I am going to keep my announcements
very brief. I might highlight one or two things, but I’m going to try staying
with the idea of reminding us all to read our bulletins for all of the great
ministry opportunities coming up. As of right now, folks are still welcome
to come to the lectern to make special invitations & celebrations, but I
would ask that we try to make our announcement as brief as possible. I
make this request not because I don’t like hearing about all of the wonderful
ministries happening in the life of our congregation, but the last several
Sundays I’ve had to omit the Children’s Welcome. I really don’t like omitting the Children’s Welcome time because I feel it is important for our children to have time with me up front for a brief lesson. I know that many also
really like to keep the service to an hour and not exceeding an hour and fifteen minutes.
So again, thanks for your spirit of flexibility as we tried something new
with our liturgy and thanks for your well thought out responses. Finally,
thanks for helping keep our Invitations & Celebrations as clear and brief as
possible so we don’t disrupt the flow of the liturgy and so our children have
time for a moment with me up front. You’re great to work with!
In God’s Grace, Eric L. Miller+

Did you know that Ascension & Holy
Trinity has Eucharistic Visitors?
Each Sunday during our 10:00 Holy Eucharist we bless more
bread and wine than is needed for the number attending
worship. We bless this extra bread and wine so that our sick
and shut-ins are able to participate in virtually the same
Eucharistic feast we participate in any given Sunday. Our
Eucharistic Visitor is commissioned near the end of the
service with the words, “In the name of Ascension & Holy
Trinity, I send you forth bearing these holy gifts, that those to
whom you go may share with us in the communion of Christ’s
Body and Body.” The congregation responds, “We who are
many are one body because all share one bread, one cup.”
You’ll notice that the Eucharistic Visitor is given a little
communion kit contained the blessed wine and bread.
What happens after the Eucharistic Visitor has been
commissioned and leaves church? Thanks for asking! Well,
this person is to go for a short visit with one of our shut-ins who
has been scheduled beforehand. The visitor brings a bulletin
from our worship service and says some prayers from a
pamphlet with the individual, and then the visitor and the person
receiving the visit share communion together.
We are looking for more Eucharistic Visitors. This is an amazing
ministry to be a part of, and my
personal experience is that I
always feel more blessed than the
individual I’m visiting. I can train
you for this meaningful ministry
and would love to do so. Please
contact me or the parish office for
more information.

ACOLYTES
&
CROSSES
Perhaps you have been wondering
why you see the wooden cross in our
processional and recessionals on
Sundays at 10am?
Usually the
wooden cross is reserved for the
Lenten season when we pare down
into a more simple service. Well, we
have been blessed with a number of
enthusiastic acolytes willing to serve
each Sunday; dedicated but short in stature! The traditional brass
crosses are heavy, awkward, and nearly impossible for our
smaller acolytes to carry. So when you see the wooden cross, it is
because the acolyte carrying it is proud to be serving as crucifer,
but not quite tall enough to manage the steps, a long white robe,
and a top heavy brass cross!
