Hello, we would like to introduce ourselves . . .
We are a people gathered to take seriously our common commitment to Jesus Christ and to live out our discipleship joyfully in a community of people we call Trinity Episcopal Church.
When you join us for worship, you will be greeted and given a bulletin that will help guide you through the order of the service. Services start at 10:00am on Sundays. Service of Holy Eucharist typically lasts about an hour. Service of Morning Prayer is usually half an hour.
After service, please join us for refreshments and fellowship downstairs in Morrill Hall. A chairlift is available if needed.
We would love to welcome you, wherever you are in life.
If you would like more information about Trinity or how to join or get involved please see a church member or send an email to secretary@trinityware.org.
Message from the Senior Warden
If you missed service last week, Bishop Mark Edington's sermon was enlightening, compelling and inspiring. You can find it under Sermons/Reflections.
I recall his message as we look at the Epistle for this Sunday (Romans 12:1-8) "For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ . . ."
We have different abilities/talents/strengths. We have different feelings/opinions on all things. But we are one in Christ Jesus. We take up His call, as one, to live out our faith in God, to love our neighbor no matter what their circumstance may be. We have no faith test, we just do it because that is what Jesus taught us. For nearly 45 years of our parish's 125 year history, we have helped our neighbors by giving food at Jubilee Cupboard (in all of its locations). We built on that to offer clothing and diapers and, by God's grace, we opened the Jubilee Ministries building that gives us the space to expand these missions and think to the future with other ideas. We can do so much here!
We will honor the dedication made over 40 years ago by holding a Fundraiser dinner for Jubilee Ministries on Saturday October 3. Proceeds will benefit all three missions, with initial plans for a handicap ramp and awning, and other improvements. The flyer with all the information for the fundraiser can be found here. On behalf of the Vestry and Missions committee, I hope you can join us with family and friends.
Let us follow the letter of Saint Paul, all together as one in the Body of Christ, humbly using our unique gifts to spread Jesus's message of love.
God's peace to you-
Suzanne
