For Sunday March 16, 2025

Friends:


A good Lenten discipline is to take on a service project, and there is none better at Trinity than to serve at Community Meals. See below.


Also, we are called to meditate on God's Holy Word during Lent. Please join us for Bible Study each Sunday at 9 a.m. in Honyman Hall.


Looking for an opportunity for pastoral conversation and spiritual direction? During Lent, I will be in office an additional afternoon on Wednesdays in addition to Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please make an appointment, and the best way to do that is to send me a confidential email. I'll be in touch.


Timothy Safford, Interim Rector

Community Meal Needs Volunteers


A warm meal and comradery can make a difference. We have been very busy this year and are serving about 100 guests per meal. We delight in providing a restaurant-like experience for our guests but need your help! Please consider joining the team (we have a lot of fun!) by signing up for the many open volunteer slots here: Community Meal Calendar Sign Up. We always serve on the 1st, 4th, and 5th Mondays of the month. - D'arcy Carr.

Trinity Serves Capital Campaign

  

Trinity Serves Capital Campaign

In an attempt to ensure that Trinity will not have a mortgage after the completion of the new Education and Administration Building, we are announcing a $75K Matching Challenge sponsored by members of the Congregation. The objective is to match $75K by Trinity Sunday. 

The total cost of the building and move-in expenses is projected to be about a total of $1.8M. The current projection is that we will have a July move-in date. We still need to raise an additional $240K to ensure that we will not need a mortgage after completion. If the challenge is matched, we will only have about $100K left to raise.

Help us meet the $75K Matching Challenge. While a donation in any amount would be greatly appreciated, please consider funding one of the following items. Help us add the finishing touches to our new Education and Administration Building.

Phones (4) $250 each

Room WiFi Connections (3) $300 each
