Thank You to our Volunteers!

On Saturday March 1, twenty-one parishioners from Trinity volunteered at Arm in Arm's food warehouse in Hamilton.  According to Shariq Marshal, Development & Community Engagement Coordinator at Arm in Arm, “We sincerely thank you all for your time and efforts this past weekend.   Your group prepared over 200 bags, stocked all of our shelves with the incoming donations, prepared 100 snack bags for kids and cleared  space for our next shipment of inventory in the process. This is a huge impact!”

Thank you to all our volunteers. You made a real difference!

Help Needed for Agape Meal!

Our wonderful Carol Brooks Thomas who normally runs the agape meal will be out of town and can't be the point person the day of, although she can get food and everything ready beforehand. The meal is simple, mostly fruit and cheese. It takes place directly after the Easter Vigil on April 19. 

Volunteers are needed for set up and clean up, but right now the priority is finding someone to run the show day of. 

Lenten Book Group: Passions of the Soul, by Rowan Williams

Are you hoping to deepen your faith this Lent? Do you want to learn about what classic theology has to do with modern life? During Lent, a book group led by Madeline Polhill, one of last year’s seminary interns, will study former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams’ recent work, Passions of the Soul. In this short book, Williams explores Eastern Orthodox theology with a particular eye towards what this theology might have to do with the pressures, challenges, and worries of our lives in the 21st century. We will meet on Monday evenings, beginning March 17 and ending on April 14, at 5:30pm, now in the Trinity Church library and on Zoom. Questions? Email Madeline Polhill at madeline.polhill@ptsem.edu. We hope to see you there!
