A Message
from Fr. Brad...
|
|
T
he
L
ord shall watch over your going in and your coming out.
Psalm 121:8
We now have four Sunday gatherings under our belt as we continue to transition into this new season of our lives. I do hope that the opportunities offered have been a benefit to your faith journey. So that you know, we continue to work on ways to improve how our services are streamed for those of you participating from home. It is a strange thing as a priest to look out at the congregation and see faces that are covered. Even with that, it is a joy to gather together.
I wanted to say thank you to all of you who continue to be faithful to share from your blessings with Holy Trinity, both in treasures and talents.
I pray that in the days ahead, we may all gather again, taking the bread and the wine, that we may embrace at the peace and that we may be able to fellowship over good food. Until then, May the Lord bless you and keep you.
Peace,
brad+

Needs
During this time, we will need volunteers for each of the following areas. All volunteers will be given guidance and/or training, as necessary. If you are interested in helping, please email or call the church. Here are our needs:
·
Greeters
Greeters will be responsible for helping people get into the building, making sure everyone has a face covering available and that they are being worn. Greeters will also direct people to any service materials needed for the morning.
·
Ushers
Ushers will be responsible for making sure people are directed to seats appropriate for their Family Unit. Ushers will also be responsible for releasing people to receive communion.
·
Lectors
Although we have a regular cadre of lectors, we will need to make sure that our temporary practices are understood. We will provide any additional training needed.
·
Cleaners
Cleaners will be responsible to disinfect our space in between and following all services. They will be given specific training and guidance regarding proper cleaning practices.

Food Donations
FOOD BANK/FOOD DRIVE
Thanks so much to those who brought food with them on Sunday. I'd like to extend this a couple more weeks.
The food list is below.
If you can, please bring bagsfull of these items when you come to church on Sunday--OR you can drop them at the Interfaith Food Ministry Building, behind the old Summer Thyme's cafe and the vacuum cleaner place. They are open and busy from 8 am till about 11 am every day. This service is Jesus working in our own community.

Utah's Place
As we have for the past two months, due to the sheltering in place, we are sending a check to cover the costs of our Sunday dinner, instead of cooking at Hospitality House ourselves. Hopefully, we can return to cook and serve in July.

Many members of our community are in need of additional help due to loss of work, and this need has had a huge impact on resources that in "normal times" have been available to help people in our area. One of the main resources normally available to community members in need is the Interfaith Food Ministry.
In the past, the Interfaith Food Ministry has often supplemented items provided to our Tuesday night dinner guests, however the IFM has recently been stretched to its limits.
Carol Fegté has been working with the IMF to help on behalf of Holy Trinity. If you would like to donate, please consider helping. Food donations made to Holy Trinity that are not utilized for Tuesday night dinners will go to support the Interfaith Food Ministry.
T
hank you for your generous donations!

Upcoming Event in Support of
Kare Crisis Nursery
|
|
Greetings from
Karen Hoida
Last year Holy Trinity participated with the community church organization LINC (Love in Nevada County) by supporting the Kare Crisis Nursery in helping clean up their landscaping and play yard to make it a beautiful place for children to be, allowing for greater enjoyment of outdoor play at the nursery.
This year LINC is taking a break, but the yard at the Kare nursery is still growing strong and desperately needs attention, so Sarah Woerner and I are working together to set up a day and time that will work best, and we would love your help.
A few potential dates will be suggested soon. If you are interested in helping families and children through gardening, this is your chance! Please contact me, Karen Hoida, at (530) 470-9257 if you have questions. If you would like to help, call me to be added to the list of potential contributors.

Christian Yoga
with Paula DeGiorgis
|
|
Be centered, nurturing body, mind and spirit while increasing your balance, flexibility and strength with gentle yoga and Christian meditations.
People have been asking for Rejoice Yoga classes to begin again.
We have not met for Rejoice Yoga since early March, and I believe it is important for everyone to do their best to stay safe and continue to maintain adequate distance.
I also believe it is time, now more than ever, to nurture your body, mind and spirit, so this week we will try doing yoga
on the lawn
at Holy Trinity. If there is sufficient interest, we may begin to meet for regular weekly or bi-weekly classes again.
Please come Tonight - Monday, July 6th at 5:30 PM
for Gentle Yoga on the Lawn
We will be "distancing" on the lawn for the duration of the class, so space will be limited. Please bring your own mat and water. Restrooms will not be available.
All classes are donation-based and suitable for those new to Yoga.
For more information please go to
Text or call Paula DeGiorgis at (530) 274-9839
