Almoner's Fund Ingathering

This Sunday, September 4th

Your contributions mean more than you will ever know.

A special thank you for those who gave to the Almoner's Fund

this past Sunday so that we could purchase a toddler bed

for a family under the watch of Family Services.

A Prayer for Labor Day

Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives:  So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.  (BCP, p. 261)

Parish Office

and Clothes Closet

Closed on Labor Day

Monday, September 5th.

Streaming Equipment 

Installed

in the Sanctuary

This Sunday you may notice a few new items in the Sanctuary. With a grant from the Diocese and much prep work by our Junior Warden, Terri Hurst, streaming equipment and a new audio system was installed.  We still have a few things we need to do for it all to be up and running.  We will will keep you posted on when we give live.

Needed: 

Parishioners to Help Run

the New Streaming Equipment

We are looking for parishioners to help run the streaming equipment during worship services.  Training will be available.  Contact Mother Suzanne at slevesconte@gts.edu or 513-869-8694. 

Weeding Party

a Success

Two Parishioners

and a Person from the Community

weeded for an hour and a half on Saturday.

We got a lot done

and the gardens look beautiful. 

Since weeds are sneaky and persistent beings,

we still encourage you to

pull a weed or two when you're around

or

stop by any time and spend some time weeding.   

Much thanks to the weeders who showed up Saturday!   

August Clothes Sorting Party

a Success

With six Trinity folks, two NEST leaders, and five NEST mamas,

we got a great deal done in the Clothes Closet on Saturday.

Warm fall clothing was put out on the floor,

all of the children's donations were hung,

and all of the cloth hangers organized.

We also had wonderful food and fellowship with spaghetti and meat balls and salad provided by Pam Hurst and Chrissy Rose.

The NEST mamas loved it so much they are thinking about coming back in November to help!

Thanks to everyone for making it a great day! 

A Thank you from Chrissy Rose for Closet Help

I wish to thank everyone who worked so hard in the Trinity Clothes Closet last Saturday. I cannot express the joy and gratitude I have for all your hard work. 

For me, the Clothes Closet means a great deal. I grew up getting clothes for churches and secondhand shops. I was and still am very poor. As a child and adult, I felt like a beggar coming to places like ours. Most times I felt judged and looked down upon. When I began working here at Trinity and volunteering in the Closet, I had a vision.  I wanted to help create a place where we had customers not beggars. A place where people from all walks of life and different circumstances could come together and for a few hours a week feel safe, supported, wanted and worthy.  You have helped this vision to come to fruition. I shed tears of joy when on Saturday we had church members, NEST mothers, homeless community members all working together with the same goal, to create a space where everyone was equal. My heart leaps and my soul sings when I see that my vison is not only mine, but is also Trinity's.

Thank you! Thank you! A thousand times, thank you!  

 -- Chrissy Rose
