Trinity Tidbits-Week of Easter 3
|
|
Easter Day has come and gone, but Easter isn't over! And you all know this, that Easter lasts 50 days.
But, what is going to make this Easter season new to you? What is God calling you to do during these 50 days?
If we let it, Easter can come and go just like any other celebration. But it doesn't have to be like that. It can indeed be something special. And it all begins with opening yourself up to the New Life given to us in the Resurrection, given to us each day that we ask for the power of Christ to flood our lives.
What is God calling you to do?
Peace,
Chris

TOTH WOMEN'S RETREAT April 28 & 29 in Kelly Hall
I am leading a woman's retreat at Trinity on the Hill in Kelly Hall, April 28 and April 29. The retreat is 6:30-9 pm on Fri and 10-2:30 on Sat.
The topic is learning through scripture and the voice of the Holy Spirit who God really created us to be, our true destiny/purpose in Christ, and how to let Christ in to heal our emotions and inner wounds. The cost is free, except I may ask for a donation just to cover printing costs for Trinity on the Hill.
Thanks, Alicia Pope

TOTH ELDERS TO MEET
MAY 22 AT 10:30 IN SHERRILL HALL
The TotH Elders Group will observe the first anniversary of its founding with its first Annual Meeting on Monday, May 22, at 10:30 in Sherrill Hall. Visitors are welcome, as always, to join us for snacks and a discussion of the types of programs and activities that we would like to have for the coming year. This will be a time for all Elders (i.e. adults who don't have to work on Mondays) to share their views on topics of common interest. But just in case things get too serious, something called "When the Loaves and Fishes Meet the Chinese Junk" is also on the agenda.

NMCC names new director
ALBUQUERQUE - The Reverend Susan Joan Quass has been named Executive Director of the New Mexico Conference of Churches (NMCC) by the conference's Governing Board. Rev. Quass assumed this new role on April 1, 2017.
Rev. Quass' background uniquely positions her to assume the post as NMCC's fifth Executive Director. With significant experience in social justice ministries, advocacy, congregational life and nonprofit management Quass will advance the Conference's work of promoting Christian unity, and striving for justice, peace and the integrity of creation across the state.
Quass has a Masters of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington DC, and was ordained as a Minister of the Presbyterian Church USA on Palm Sunday in 2008 by the Presbytery of Baltimore. She is currently a member of the Presbytery of Santa Fe and serves on the Commission on Ministry. Quass holds a Certificate in Interim Ministry, and has training in hospice care and multicultural ministry.
During the past decade, Quass has served as Co-director of the ecumenical Wellspring Conference Center in Germantown, Maryland; worked with The CENTER of the Presbytery of Baltimore offering transformative mission experiences for youth and adults; and also served as Interim Pastor in West Virginia and Maryland. Prior to that time her commitment to Jesus Christ and her love of people and the environment led her to volunteer in social justice mission with the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific Movement in Micronesia and with refugees in Songkhla, Thailand
THE BISHOP SEARCH COMMITTEE NEEDS YOU!
Part of calling the right bishop for the Diocese of the Rio Grande is to be able to tell candidates who we are and what we expect from a bishop. We need to know what you think the DRG is doing well, what we could do better, and what direction you think a new bishop take the diocese.

Our goal is to get input from everyone, either face to face or electronically.
