WATER SAFETY GEAR MISSION
Caroline Neblett, one of our local Girl Scouts in Troop 26045, is working on a scout project to create a place where families can easily borrow water safety gear, such as life jackets, for a safe day in the water. Caroline is asking for contributions of either used life jackets, or a monetary donation to help purchase new ones for the project. Checks can be sent to the Church office with Girl Scout Troop 26045 Project on the memo line. Thank you for helping to keep our community beaches and pools safe.

Bishop Andy Doyle's Statement on
Separating Children from Parents at Border
"Families are the bedrock of American society and our government has the discretion to ensure that young children are not separated from their mothers and fathers and exposed to irreparable harm and trauma. Separating babies from their mothers is not only unconscionable, it is immoral.
Superior orders will not be an ethical defense for the legacy of pain being inflicted upon these children or the violence to families being woven into the fabric of our future. These actions do irreparable harm, are not proportional to the crime, betray our covenant with God in both the Old and New Testaments, subvert American family values, and are patently inhumane.
Our government leaders have the ability to uphold our laws, protect our borders, and ensure that families are not separated.
Yet, these families—who are in crisis in their native lands—now face even more uncertainty because those in power are not taking the responsibility of leadership. Our society’s actions reveal not only what our government values, but America’s values. How we handle this crisis reveals if we are the great and civilized society our immigrant founding fathers dreamed or if that dream is over. This is a defining moment for America.”
The Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas

A COLLECT – what is that?
That is the question we will attempt to answer in Adult Formation now through August this summer. The
COLLECTS of the Church Year
in the
Book of Common Prayer
will be the focus of Adult Formation (Sunday School). We will delve into the meaning of “collects” in general and look at each Collect contemporaneous with the Sunday on which it is appointed. The study will last through the summer to the beginning or middle of the fall. Please join us each Sunday morning at 9:30 in Eaton Hall for discussion (over coffee and doughnuts).

PARKING LOT USE
Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence. We certainly encourage use of the parking lot, but caution those planning lunch or other offsite activities to please park elsewhere after church sponsored events. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors with the new owners.
