Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Connect via Realm!
Introducing Realm
We are moving to a new kind of church record keeping system called Realm. It primarily helps with administrative needs, but it also offers some exciting opportunities to support the way you are involved in our church. Not only will this improve work life for our staff, it will make it easier for our church community to connect with each other, keep up with what’s going on, and grow as a connected community. You will be able to see your giving history, connect with small groups, and more easily communicate with other parishioners (who have signed up for Realm). The more people use it, the better it will be! Please note that you are able to control how much information is shared with whom. Additionally, personal information for anyone under 18 is automatically limited and children under 13 are not allowed to have a login (their information can be managed by their parent/guardian.)
On Monday, June 28th you should receive an email entitled “Trinity Episcopal Church: Join our Online Community” (the from email address should be from notifications at onrealmmail dot org. That email will contain instructions on how to register for Realm. If you don’t receive an email by Tuesday or Wednesday, please check your junk mail. If you still don’t find it, please reach out to Rev. D or Barbara to ensure that your correct email address is in the system. Detailed instructions on registering for Realm, updating your profile information, and managing your privacy can be found on the website.
P.S. Realm will be used in addition to our current methods of communication, not instead of them.

A Message from Rev. D
Welcome Back!
We are so grateful to have this opportunity to worship together and see one another after such a long time!
8:00 AM Service
· When the weather allows for the 8:00 am service to be outside, people will be allowed to remove their masks while they are at their seat.
10:00 AM Service
· Masks are required to be worn by the congregation. A limited supply of masks will be available for those who do not have one.
· Restrooms in the Narthex are available if needed.
· Single-use Bulletins will be provided. Please either use the recycle barrels or take your bulletin home with you.
· Offering plates will be provided at the entrance and on a pedestal when
you are leaving through the South Narthex into the Close; plates will not be passed.
We will continue to stream the service live to YouTube and upload an electronic copy of the bulletin to the website. We want to make sure that folks who are not yet comfortable with in person worship and folks who can’t come in person are still able to be a part of our worshiping community.

Trinity Book Group
For its next gathering, which will be in September, Trinity's Book Group has chosen The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here by Hope Jahren. In concise, highly readable chapters, the author takes us through the science behind the key inventions—from electric power to large-scale farming to automobiles—that, even as they help us, release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere like never before. She explains the current and projected consequences of global warming and the actions that we all can take to fight back. All are welcome to attend this meeting, which will be September 24th, 7 pm, which is expected to be in-person! Location TBA.
