 Our usual Sunday class is a journey through the Bible using The Path.  Occasionally, we branch off The Path as noted in the schedule below.  The Path is the story of the Bible, excerpted in a format that is clear & easy to read. To prime our pumps for discussion, please read the Chapter and its Questions for the Journey from The Path before the assigned Sunday. You are always welcome to attend class whether you have done the assigned reading or not.

Uvalde Relief Funds Support Community Healing



You may remember in the wake of last spring's massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Trinity parishioners pooled generous donations to send $5,840 for relief. We recently received a letter from Bishop David Reed of West Texas thanking us for this donation and updating us on healing ministries taking root in Uvalde in partnership with St. Philip's Episcopal Church. The Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas will renovate and use a church building 'as long as necessary' to provide support services for children ages 3 through 23 and their families. The Center will employ 6 full-time staff and grief counselors. A labyrinth built by St. Philip's is already in place near the building and can serve as a vital part of this ministry. May God bless the people of Uvalde as they walk the long road to healing and recovery, and may this partnership with St. Philip's shine light upon this healing path.
