Sunday, July 22, The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
Trinity's 2-service Sunday schedule will continue through September 2.
Holy Eucharist Services: 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
The Rev. Dr. Paul Gaston will preach at both services.
Community Gospel Reflections (Bible study) - 9 a.m.
Dean's Forum: Reading the Psalms - 9 a.m.
Although reading the psalms is an important part of our liturgy, we typically hear them out of context. This brief overview will offer an approach to understanding the psalms more fully. How is the Book of Psalms organized? What different purposes were the psalms written to serve? What kinds of arguments do the psalms offer? What are the most helpful guides to an informed reading of the psalms? Acting Dean Gaston will lead the discussion.
Tai Chi - 9 a.m.
Trinity member George Anderson leads a Tai Chi session during the
9 a.m. education hour. Children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Class will meet in the back garden after the 8 a.m. service. In the event of rain, the class will meet in the East Transept.
Becoming Beloved Community Brown Bag Lunch -
11:15 a.m
Trinity's Becoming Beloved Community group invites all to a brown bag lunch on Sunday, July 22, following the 10 a.m. service. The group will view the second of three videos in a series entitled,
Door of Return: Racial Truth and Reconciliation Pilgrimage to Ghana. The series was filmed in early 2017 during a pilgrimage led by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry with the Episcopal Relief & Development to Ghana, West Africa.
Following the film, there will be a time of reflection around race, faith and the path toward healing.
Bring a lunch or purchase one at Subway or Ah-Roma. Contact Debbie Likins-Fowler at dlikinsfowler@gmail.com for questions.
