Holy Eucharist Services: 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.
Welcome the Rev. Sarah Shofstall
-
Trinity's new Priest Associate, the Rev. Sarah Shofstall, will begin her Trinity ministry this Sunday. She will preach at both the 8 a.m. and the

Precious Lord, Take My Hand" by the Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey and more.
Community Gospel Reflections (Bible study) - 9 a.m.
Dean's Forum: Ohio Craft Beers - 9 a.m.
Beginning in 1986, when the Great Lakes Brewing Company opened in Cleveland, Ohio's craft brewers have emerged as a community resource, a tourist attraction and an important contributor to the state's economy. This "pint-sized" revolution is not only about the beer! There are important values that distinguish craft brewers from major corporate brewers. Dean Gaston, the author of
Ohio's Craft Beers, 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. The class will be held in the back garden after the 8 a.m. service. In the event of rain, the class will meet in the East Transept.

Share your thoughts and concerns about current immigration policy and needed reforms. A Promenade table with information and postcards with the names / addresses of the Ohio congressional representatives will be available to fill out this Sunday.

Your Help Is Needed to Update Directory
Trinity staff will update the congregational directory
this summer
. If you've recently had a change of home address, phone number or
email address, please contact Ginger Bitikofer at
what Trinity has for your contact information, stop by the Front Desk and view your listing in the current directory. An updated edition of the directory will be distributed to congregation members in late summer.
Church members can view a password-protected online directory using Trinity Connect and the ChurchLife app. If you are not familiar with Trinity Connect, please send an email to Ginger Bitikofer and she can help you get "connected."

Members, please send your photo for the congregational directory to Ginger Bitikofer (
gbitikofer@trinitycleveland.org) if you haven't already done so.
Alternatively,
you can have her take your photo on a Sunday morning.
Make it easier for our new Priest Associate, the Rev. Sarah Shofstall, and later, our new dean, to get to know everyone!

General Convention of The Episcopal Church
Thursday, July 5 - Friday, July 13
The 79th General Convention of The Episcopal Church will convene for nine days in Austin, Texas from July 5 through July 13. General Convention is the triennial gathering of clergy and lay deputies (four of each from every diocese) and all bishops in the House of Deputies and the House of Bishops. It will include worship, legislative hearings and the crafting of legislation by 26 different legislative committees with debate and action in both houses.
Numerous communicants of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio will participate as volunteers, helping the Convention accomplish an extraordinary amount of business in a relatively short period of time. Trinity members Bill DiTurro and Dale Murphy will be at the Convention as volunteers. Trinity Vestry member Jane Freeman will be representing the Diocese of Ohio as a lay deputy.
Tune in to the Convention's
media hub for live-streaming from Austin of legislative sessions from both houses, daily worship, press round-ups, and on-demand features. Additional coverage can be found at the
Episcopal News Service. A comprehensive list of General Convention resources from the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio is available
HERE.
The July 29 Dean's Forum will be devoted to a report and discussion of what happened at this year's General Convention.
