What’s the first thing you think of when you hear the word “Pentecost”? For some people, it’s the sending of the Holy Spirit to the Church. For others, it’s sandwiches! The 20’s-30’s Fellowship will have a Pentecost Panini Party on Saturday, May 25th at 6 PM in Pierce-Bishop Hall. We’ll provide the ingredients and panini presses, you bring yourself and any beverages you’d like to share. RSVP here: https://forms.gle/fUPoG4gxKdp5zwHz8.

In Gratitude for Connor and Emily
Dear Friends of Trinity Church,
Trinity is blessed with an amazing, gifted staff. They make the administrative life of the church happen, they care for our building, and they develop and implement programming for our parish. On Sunday, June 2, we will say farewell to two staff members who have been faithful and stalwart members of our staff through challenging times.
Emily Pruszinski led our family ministries through the challenges of COVID, caring for our families through online activities and re-invigoring our youth group even as they met on Zoom in the height of the pandemic. She also has been a key part of our Vacation Bible School program that we share with other churches. Connor Fluharty led Trinity’s music program through one of the most difficult situations possible. He stepped in to provide steady leadership when it was needed the most, and for that we will always be grateful.
We would like to acknowledge their faithful service with a special monetary gift. If you would like to contribute, you may send a check marked “Connor and Emily” to Lily at the parish office, or donate online at trinityprinceton.org/giving. If you give online, make sure to include the purpose of your gift in the appropriate box on the form. Please send in your gifts by Wednesday, May 29.
We hope you will join us at church to thank them in person on June 2, which will also be Choir Sunday and our Parish Picnic. See you then!
Yours faithfully in Christ,
Kara Slade David Schneider
Associate Rector Senior Warden
In Gratitude: Remember
Happy Derby Day from Fr. Paul!
