Book Review from
The Committee for Racial Healing
The 1619 Project: Born on the Water
by Nikole Hannah-Jones and Renee Watson, illustrated by Nikkolas Smith
The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson.
A young student receives a family tree assignment in school, but she can only trace back three generations. Grandma gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by white slave traders.
But before that, they had a home, a land, a language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water survived.
With powerful verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the origins of American identity.

Education for Ministry (EfM)
"Education for Ministry (EfM)" is a program of personal renewal and spiritual transformation based upon individual study and practice.
Deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, yet open to all, EfM invites us to engage in study, worship, and theological reflection. Guided by trained mentors, participants meet each week in a small group setting for a period of 2.5-3 hours.
Over the course of nine months, group members are invited to connect more deeply with God and our role in bringing God’s healing love to a hurt and broken world.
New groups begin in September and run through mid-May.

News from The People at Trinity's Library
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And yes, a science fiction book can have a spiritual message.
We will deal with Santa in December, but for now, Selby Mc Cash, our Collections Manager, purchased several science fiction titles for the library.
You will find them in the book rack by the Ida Beck door. In addition, C.S. Lewis, the British author and lay theologian, wrote a Sci-Fi trilogy that we already have in our collection. Selby will place them with the other Sci-Fi books in the book rack.
We thought it appropriate to acquire a book on the Oxford Movement in the Anglican Church, particularly in light of the presentation on this topic by John Hager, our summer organist, on Sunday afternoon, July 10th at 4:00 pm. This book too will be in the book rack. So stop by the library if you have a chance and take a look at some of our new titles. By the way, I’m happy to say that our circulation is inching up. And that’s a very good thing!
-Tom Rotella, Chair, Library Committee
