Rev. Doctor David Englund Celebrates
Holy Eucharist In Person May 15
We welcome on Sunday a new supply priest for Trinity, Rev. Doctor David Englund, but he wants us to know he goes by David. To introduce him, we have included his brief bio below:
I am a retired priest in the Diocese of Northern California. I was first ordained in an evangelical denomination in 1977 while in seminary. I ministered in that denomination for 36 years. I was ordained as an Episcopal Priest in 2004 and served as an associate priest at St. Paul's, Oroville, and then becoming priest-in-charge there until retiring in 2016. Since that time I have done supply work in Northern California and Hawaii.
I am happily married to Susan, and we have four daughters and eight grandchildren. I am addicted to reading, love cooking, raise sheep, pigs, and chickens, love music, and like to travel.
I am serious about discipleship to Jesus, and above all try to be obedient to Him.
Please join us in welcoming Rev. David
at 10:00 service

New Book Study
Beginning (mid-June,TBA)
Sacred Earth Sacred Soul:
Celtic Wisdom for Reawakening to what Our Souls Know and Healing the World
by John Philip Newell, 255 pp
Easy reading!
This book traces over the centuries prominent voices from the Celtic tradition, which saw God as present within earth and us---voices such as that of St Brigid, John Muir, and Teilhard de Chardin. If you have ever struggled with such issues as original sin, a distant God, diminished roles of women, and institutional religion’s failure to call out the plundering of the planet, you’ll probably like this book.
Some people you like also like it:
Newell reaches new depths in his vision of the earth and the human journey. We need this Celtic wisdom urgently. ----Richard Rohr
This wonderful book calls us to wake up and see that there’s no going back to small, limited notions of God and the sacred. ----Michael Curry
Meeting Options
We can meet on Zoom and/or meet in person at Jane’s Hall or my place (where we can enjoy fresh air on the deck). I am offering both Zoom and in-person because I think the book is worth it.
Discussion Options
We can cover the book in five sessions or up to ten, and do discussion only or discussion combined with outdoor exploration of Celtic spiritual practices.
Final arrangements, including day/time will be negotiated among those responding. I have three copies of the book if anyone would like one ($23)

Opportunity for Trinity to spread the Good News
Burning Bush Ministries is an interdenominational group of churches that supply short church services to those isolated and living in senior residential centers. Several churches in the county are involved in this ministry. Members of a church go out, usually one Sunday a month, and conduct a 1/2 hour religious service with prayers, a short homily and hymns. After the service, the people conducting the religious service visit with and minister to the residents.
Shut down during COVID, this ministry resuming activities and going to Amador Residential, Jackson Gardens and Gold Quartz Inn. Gift bags are provided by Lila Grover and the New Life Christian Center on Ridge Road for all the residents to let them know they are not forgotten. Trinity Vestry is inviting a team of two congregants to represent Trinity in visitations through this ministry. If this is something that you are moved to be involved in please contact Steve C. christensen668@sbcglobal.net
