Happy Easter Season to you all (yes it is
still
Easter…just like Gary pointed out last Sunday)!
I hope that this edition of Holy Trinity’s Enews finds you and your loved ones doing well. If you haven’t already noticed, we have upgraded our email formatting (thanks to a recommendation and investigation by Jodi), and this will give it a much “cleaner” look. It will also allow us to link to our website so that you could easily check dates for events, as well as find out more information about Holy Trinity. This month the Vestry of Holy Trinity will have a Vestry retreat and we covet your prayers for our time together. Retreats like this are intended to seek God’s direction for the next steps here at Holy Trinity. We will be looking at our strengths and weaknesses, our opportunities and at the things we must come to terms with for our parish to thrive. I am personally excited about this time because I have so much respect for the women and men on the Vestry.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.”
Blessings,
Brad+

THE LASAGNA DINNER/SILENT AUCTION
was a fabulous success thanks to our amazing Fellowship Committee team! Over 70 people showed up for a meal of 6 different homemade lasagnas, salad and dessert. The event brought in over $2500 from ticket sales, wine/beer donations and silent auction items.
Of the 50 items on display there was quite a bidding war going on for the 3 hottest items: Deacon Dave’s Pancake Breakfast for six, A home cooked dinner at the Gallaghers’ for six and twelve of Sarah Woerner’s famous pies. Congratulations to all the winners and everyone who made this event a great FUNdraiser!

The men will chant Compline at Trinity Church Nevada City Sunday May 6th @ 7 p.m. This spirited and wide ranging program (considering we're still in the Alleluia season of Easter) features, "If ye love me, keep my commandments" by the Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis (c. 1505-1585), Te lucis ante terminum ("Before the ending of the day") in plainsong; the assigned Psalm 98 set by Peter Hallock (1924-2014); a new setting of The Nunc dimittis in fauxbourdon by Jeff Reynolds (b. 1943); The Lord's Prayer by Robert Stone (1512-1613); he did live a long life for someone in the Renaissance; and Alice Parker's haunting arrangement of, "The Morning Trumpet". Be there. Bring a friend. Alleluia.

TUESDAY NIGHT DINNER:
Our next dinner for the homeless will be
May 8th
at 5:00PM at
Trinity Church.
Sign up on Sunday to bring food and/or serve. You can bring food to the church between 4-4:30pm on Tuesdays.
HOSPITALITY HOUSE:
Our next dinner
is
May 13th
at Utah’s Place.
Sign up Sunday to serve or bring breakfast foods and dessert (nothing homemade is allowed. Must be store bought and sealed.) You may also contribute by writing a check to ‘Trinity Church’ and in the lower left hand corner write,
"Deacon Outreach."
SOCKS & WARM CLOTHING FOR THE HOMELESS:
We are collecting donations of warm winter clothing for the homeless. Additionally, I am asking for donation of socks. It has been my practice to give out 2 pairs of socks to each person attending our Tuesday night dinners. You can also continue to donate by writing a check to Trinity and in the lower left hand corner write, ‘Deacon’s Fund.” Money will help to defray the cost of service to those in need.
MEDICAL SUPPLIES :
Just a reminder, we have the following available for your needs: walkers, wheel chairs, crutches, toilet risers, porta potties, shower benches, glucose tester, lancets, and various braces.
FOOD CLOSET:
We continue to collect canned & nonperishable foods each Sunday. They are for the food closet at the Nevada City Methodist.
PASTORAL CARE:
The well being of our members and friends is very important to us. If you are homebound or in the hospital or nursing home and unable to attend church, please call the office or speak to the Rector or Deacon so that we can visit you, add you to our prayer list and arrange a Lay Eucharistic Visitor to bring you Communion.
CELL PHONES:
We still collect old cell phones. These are given to the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Coalition. They in turn provide them to victims who can use them in an emergency.

SUNDAY SERVICE READINGS

This is the Way it is
"Let the river flow beneath its bridges. Let men be men, that it to say, weak, vain, inconstant, unjust, false, presumptuous. Let the world be the world - you cannot hinder it. Let everybody follow their natural disposition and habits; you cannot remold them. it is easier to let them alone and bear with them."
Accustom yourself to put up with unreasonableness and injustice. Abide tranquilly in Gods heart. He sees all these evils more clearly than you do, yet he suffers them. Be content with doing well what little depends on you, and let all else be as though it were not. (Archbishop Francois Fenelon (6 August 1651- 7 January 1715), French theologian, poet, writer.
We do not have an obligation to worry about what is happening in the world. As Jesus said, "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his lifespan?" (Matt. 6:27). Better to do well the little that depends on us, cheerfully, for God and neighbor.
