Walking through Holy Week
This coming Sunday begins one of most sacred times in the Christian calendar, Holy Week.  In Holy Week, we walk with Christ from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, through the Last Supper he shares with his disciples & friends, into the agony of the Garden and his Good Friday execution on the cross, and on to his triumphant resurrection from the dead on Easter morning.  You will find our service days & times for these holy days near the end of this newsletter.  Come walk with us as we accompany Christ and one another through this sacred time.  You will find the joy of Easter Sunday to be even more deeply meaningful & lively.   
Ukraine Donations
This week we are gathering donations for our former seminarian Christine Brunson’s trip to Poland. She will provide crisis ministry through a disaster relief group she knows well & which has asked for her expertise. Christine leaves on this 11-day mission on Easter Sunday. Please write your checks to Trinity Church and write UKRAINE in the memo, and please deliver your donations to the church by this Sunday, April 10.   

Here is a beautiful article on Christine’s upcoming mission LINK

You can follow Christine’s mission on St. Aidan’s Facebook page 

Lenten Soup Suppers
The last of our relaxed, enjoyable evenings is this Wednesday, April 6 at 5:30pm. We will hear a brief summary of our Holy Cow survey data, and use these findings as a springboard for discussion.  Enjoy delicious soup, good conversation, fellowship, and night-time prayers. 

Donations Collected at Soup Suppers
 Thank you Trinity for your generous cash donations given during the Lenten Soup Suppers (and one lunch on March 30th.) This year’s donations will go to St. Joseph’s Food Pantry in Granite Shoals and LaCare Food Pantry in Burnet.

Want to keep the Compline devotional practice going beyond our Lenten Soup Suppers? The Episcopal Society of St. John the Evangelist Brothers (an order of Monks based in the Boston area) invite you to join them for nightly Compline - the ancient monastic service of bedtime prayers - Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 8:30pm EST.
