Christian Formation is about to do a new thing!
Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house-hold who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.” ~ Matthew 13:52 I am convinced that people do like new things. We tell ourselves we dislike new things, but often this turns out to be false. What new things have blessed you late-ly? Do you have a new baby or new grandchild? What about new fur-niture? Have you taken up a new sport or read a new book? At first, you weren’t too sure. That new ba-by is beautiful but s/he sure keeps you up at night. The old couch was pretty comfortable. And that new
sport made you aware of muscles you’d forgotten. These new things brought you insights, experiences, thoughts, and emotions. You may not have been too sure about the new thing initially, but many times if we ex-perience something more than once (the child sleeps all night, the new couch gets broken in, the sport becomes familiar), we dis-cover new is a blessing. We still cherish what we value about the past (those first moments realizing there is actually a baby in the house, those comfy cushions on the old couch, other sports we’ve
played) but we realize the new things have informed and expand-ed our memories of the past and allowed us to move into a new sphere, a new thing, and a new way of being blessed. Christian Formation is doing a new thing this fall. We have new and innovative programs to bless adults, teens, tweens, and small children. We are building on the great traditions and curricula of Trinity’s past. And, we are doing a new thing. Our roots are deep at Trinity; the new things are branch-es on the same tree: new life, new ways, and new learning. These new blessings are based on the infor-mation from the Holy Conversa-tions about how you want to be blessed by your Christian For-mation experience. Look for more information about Christian Formation in this and future issues and on the Web-site. For those with children, re-member especially, Sunday, Au-gust 21 is Sunday School Reg-istration. You’ll have an oppor-tunity to hear more about the new curricula in the weeks to come. There will be exciting new things for all ages.
Come and be blessed by a new thing!

Books and Beliefs Reading List 2011-2012
W e think that we have a great list for 2011 -2012. As a matter of fact, we have an extra great list, and
will therefore meet in August this year! All are welcome to attend Books and Beliefs for one meeting
or every meeting. We normally meet the fourth Wednesday at 10 a.m. in the Trinity Parlor. Exceptions are
noted.
August The Shadow of Sirius by W. S. Merwin
The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden by Stanley Kunitz
Jane Beuttel and Gay Smith will lead and suggest that participants choose a favorite poem to
read.
September Kabuki: The Alchemy by David Mack. This is the NKU Book Connection selection.
(Rich Shivener from NKU will attend to facilitate with Bill McKim.)
October Art and Fear by David Bayles & Ted Orland (Leader: Bev Erschell) Meet at Bev’s home for lunch
at 11 am.
December 7 Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life by Karen Armstrong (Leader: Rita Schmitt)
January The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Leader: Hilda Weaver)
February At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson (Leader: Jim Adams)
March Real Presences by George Steiner (Leader: Gay Smith) *
April The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare (Leader: Bill McKim)
May Dayton Floodwall Poems, 2009 – 2010 by Bob Wallace (Leader: Bob Wallace)
Meet at 11 a.m. at Gay’s home for spring luncheon.
* The Steiner is a bit difficult to find – if you want Gay to order, please notify her by August 5.
T ake a couple of hours or so and drive on over
to the Esquire Theater in Clifton to view The Tree of Life. It’s well worth the ef-fort. Expect to be challenged. Don’t go expecting a linear story line. The beautifully haunting cinematography requires your attention.
Three young boys are fea-tured and are impressive newcomers; they are enjoya-ble and seemingly typical
youngsters. Brad Pitt plays their fa-ther and is responsible in many ways for this extraordinary film. This ele-vates his stature as an actor and pro-ducer of some repute.
Sean Penn co-stars as the adult oldest son and … Well… one of the frustrating things about recommend-ing this movie is that a description of its ―story line‖ will ruin the film.
This is a film that will be talked about over the years, and like all good
or even great art, strives for some-thing more than the banal, and it will surely viewed from a variety of per-spectives, limited only by your imagi-nation.
This is a film that would have gen-erated a great discussion by the Trin-ity Movie Group, currently on hiatus. Any films buffs interested in bringing back this great Trinity tradition?

Cathedral Domain
The sign-up sheet for the Labor Day week-end will soon be posted. We usually have about 120 parishioners for the weekend. Please see Judy Clements, John Lucas, Robert Edwards, Amy Milburn or Barbara Baglien for more information.
This is a great weekend to relax and become better acquainted with the Trinity family. There is no set schedule except for meals and one worship service. Activities include swim-ming, hiking, playing cards and other games, caving, reading, napping, talking, and just good conversation.
All ages are welcome, and we will make the best effort to place you in a cabin that will meet your needs. See Judy Clements for spe-cial concerns.
See page 9 for more information on Labor Day Weekend at Cathedral Domain.

Outreach Opportunity
The Outreach Commission would like to invite you to travel with other people from Trinity and our Diocese, to Haiti. We have a group going January 28 – February 5. This group will be involved in working on rebuilding homes, medical clinics, working with children, etc. This is an amazing trip, providing the opportunity to touch the lives of people who so desperately need to know we care, and the chance to have your life touched by people who have such joy in knowing God.
I would be glad to talk to you. Please also feel free to talk with Tony Powell, Rob Dorward, Debra Taylor, or Mary Ann Wolff. We have all traveled to Haiti. There are scholarships available, and we could work on some fund raising ideas.
Please pray about this and let me know if you are interested.
Peace, Joni Finnell

Looking Ahead
Choir rehearsals for the Adult Choir will begin on Wednesday, September 7 at 7:30 p.m. For more information, please contact John Deaver in the Church Office, 431-1786.
Save the Date!
Sunday August 21
During Holy Baptism, you agreed that you will be respon-sible for seeing that the child presented is brought up in the Christian faith and life. Sun-day, August 21 is the last Salad Sunday for the summer.

What I Liked About Reading Camp…
I liked Apples to Apples [a reading strategy
game] it helped me read words that I did not
know.
The best thing we did was reading books
like Holes [the read-aloud book for the week].
My favorite center is riting.
Reading helps you learn more words.
Reading rocks. I liked the camp.
In Reading Camp I learned phonix, writ-
ing, encoding and writing. My favorite thing
in writing was the name poem.
I love learning with Miss Leah when we
sound out word and played games.
I learned that reading is important and I
learned new things.
I got to pick out books and helped me.
What I have learned at Reading Camp is
that I should read more and help people be-
cause it is the right thing to do.
The best thing that happened at Reading
Camp was the Lazer Show becus we lisind to
the storys of gods and learned about the stars
[Reading Camp theme was Mount Olympus].

T hank you for the opportunity to
attend the 2011 Carolinas Con-
ference of the Association of Anglican
Musicians (AAM) held in Greenville,
South Carolina; Spartanburg, South
Carolina; Hendersonville, North Car-
olina; and Asheville, North Carolina;
with a pre-conference event in Char-
lotte, North Carolina.
After a visit with my mother on the
way to Charlotte, I spent a night in
Davidson, North Carolina, where I
had done my undergraduate work. It
was a time of reconnecting with my
past as well as the present.
I happened upon a production of
Ragtime by the Davidson Community
Theater and ran into Andy, Henry,
and John Abbot, son-in-law and
grandchildren of Ted and Mary Ann
Weiss at intermission. I was able to
tell Henry and John about their par-
ents’ wedding not being at Trinity,
but at St. Paul’s in Newport because
Trinity was undergoing a major resto-
ration-renovation at the time. (Their
other grandfather had been one of my
professors at Davidson.)
On Trinity Sunday, I worshipped
at St. Peter’s in Charlotte. Two of the
pieces our choir sang last season had
been commissioned by St. Pe-
ter’s—The Risk of Birth, which
we sang as the prelude on
Christmas Eve and another an-
them of Michael Sitton’s. A close
friend from college sings in the
choir there.
To add a third connection, on
Trinity Sunday, their rector Da-
vid Pittman, who has since re-
tired, had been the assistant at
Trinity Church in Staunton, Vir-
ginia, when I played a recital in
the late 1970s.
The conference liturgies were
rich, focusing on the psalms this
year. We did a lot of singing—
from the Shape-Note Tradition
to newly commissioned an-
thems for the conference by
Robert Powell, Michael Sitton,
and Bob Chilcott, many under
the direction of conference key-
note clinician David Hill, Chief
Conductor of The
BBC Singers, Musical Director
of the London Bach Choir, and
former Master of the Music at
Winchester Cathedral.
Other highlights of the wor-
ship included a Service for
Noonday using Shape-Note Mu-
sic; Opening and Closing Eucha-
rists at Christ Church, Green-
ville, where Robert Powell
served for over 30 years before
retiring in 2002; and a Morning
Prayer service at St. James’,
Hendersonville, with its visually
and acoustically beautiful wor-
ship space .
The prelude was Craig Phil-
lips’ Serenade for Horn and Or-
gan, a piece which I had com-
missioned and last performed at
the Closing Service of the 2004
Cincinnati-Lexington Confer-
ence of AAM at Trinity, Coving-
ton. The organist was Brad
Hughly, who was hired in his
job by Bishop Sauls before the
bishop left Atlanta. It was a
week of connections—both old
and new. Thank you for the
privilege of this continuing edu-
cation.

Parish People
Sound the Trumpet!!
For a Chimes issue with a number of articles
about Outreach and Christian Formation, I re-
called an early Outreach Committee meeting
where a Vestry member suggested that we
should publicize parishioners who go beyond,
supporting important charitable efforts. After
the meeting, a member pulled me aside and
suggested that an ideal target for such story
would be Cliff Daly.
I know Cliff as the soft-spoken trumpet
player with a smile and a gleam in his eye in
the Brass Ensemble, someone who adds so
much to our worship service and liturgy. I
tend to warm up to musicians. But, I also
knew of other ways Cliff supports Trinity
Church--and particularly community outreach--
making him a fitting subject for this feature.
Music was how Cliff originally came to Trinity.
He started playing piano at the age of five. At the
age of 15, he attended Trinity with a friend—in
pursuit of a pretty eighth-grader, he says—and
the organist, Carl Kuehner, learning that Cliff
played piano, recruited him as a chimer to play
the newly electrified bells. Since he was too
young to drive, Capt. Gus Bowman would drive
him to church, until his family gave in and trans-
ferred membership to Trinity from the Methodist
Church. In addition to playing trumpet in the
Brass Ensemble since its inception, he has sung
in the Choir and played piano.
And what a great extra benefit to Trinity. Cliff
taught Sunday school for 43 consecutive years!
Over the years, Cliff has been a Junior Warden,
served as a Vestry member and Stewardship
Chair several times and served on two search
committees. His father, Lawton Daly, Sr., also
served on the Vestry.
Professionally, Cliff has been in the chemical
industry for 45 years, currently as President of
Quality Composites, a jet engine repair company.
He is a graduate of Villa Madonna College
(Thomas More), and holds an M.B.A. from Xavi-
er. He was married to Kathy at Trinity 36 years
ago and they have four children: Cindy, Cathy,
Connie, and Angie.
Cliff holds a commer-
cial pilot rating and
enjoys boating, fishing
and helping Kathy in
the garden.
But, the role that
shines is his outreach
work with Covington’s
Fairhaven Rescue Mission as a founding board
member serving for over 25 years. Fairhaven
Mission is a volunteer agency with a mission to
demonstrate the love and power of Jesus Christ
to the homeless. They serve 45,000 meals to
homeless men annually with residency programs
and roughly 2,500 meals a month to women and
children. They give out more than 18,000 gift
vouchers in their thrift store each year. David
Hammers, Fairhaven’s Executive Director, de-
scribes Cliff as a ―compassionate, intelligent man,
mixing good business sense and loving kindness.‖
Cliff is also quite active in Faith Alive!, the
Episcopal spiritual renewal community, having
served on roughly 15 teams throughout the Unit-
ed States. And, if you ever wondered who shep-
herds Radio Charlie to and from church on Sun-
day, it’s Cliff, perhaps remembering what Capt.
Bowman did for him years ago.
Personally, I think of Cliff as the one who will
―sound‖ the trumpet to raise the dead
―imperishable‖ from I Corinthians 15:52—with a
smile and a gleam in his eye.
