This Sunday, May 23, is the Day of Pentecost. Our 9 am service will take place indoors in the Cathedral, and our 11 am service will be held outdoors for the last time before we take a break due to the hot summer months ahead. Directly following the 11 am service outdoors, a parish picnic will take place on the Cathedral Lawn.

Please bring a picnic blanket or lawn chair. The deadline to order a boxed lunch has been extended to tomorrow, May 21, at noon. Click here to view the menu and place your order. All are welcome to attend, and you may also bring your own picnic if you prefer. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

We are thrilled to announce that we are entering an exciting new season in our life together at Trinity. On Wednesday of last week, the Diocese of Upper South Carolina released new guidelines for worship gatherings. These guidelines eliminate capacity restrictions and greatly reduce our previously mandated social distances. Indeed, our new guidelines require only two things: the wearing of masks indoors by all worshippers, and the maintenance of three feet of distance between members of different households...

You can show your support by sending a check by tomorrow, May 21, to Trinity (1100 Sumter St, 29201).

Painless Pathways into Personal Bible Study is a special opportunity for those who would like to pursue regular Bible study but find it difficult to set aside time during the week, or don't know where to start. Taking a “pathway” into your own individual Bible study whenever you wish can be easy and joyful! This formation will be lead by Debbie Yoho in the Stirling Room each Sunday from 10 - 10:50 am, starting May 30 and running until August 15. Each session is an independent module, so you don't need to commit to all ten sessions. All materials will be provided. 

To register each week, or for more information, contact Debbie Yoho (dwyoho@gmail.com) or visit trinitysc.org/painlesspathways. In order to reserve your seat for each week, and because attendance is limited to 10-12 participants due to COVID guidelines, we ask that you email to register each week to attend. 

If you missed the event, view it by clicking here. We'd love for you to be a part of this effort. Contact Valerie Moore (803.261.7143) for more information, or visit morejusticecolumbia.org.
