Trinity's beloved tradition, a post-service gathering for coffee, tasty bites, and conversation, is returning! The COVID-19 shutdown turned our world upside down, but now it's time to re-connect and enjoy each other in person. On a recent Sunday, Nancy & Landy Luther offered lemonade & cookies to members and guests.

Parish Survey – Your Input Needed |
|
The Rector Search Committee is issuing a Parish Survey, a questionnaire that will serve as an update to the in-depth church survey taken in 2018. The Parish Survey allows the committee to collect information and data from our church members to create a parish profile. The parish profile is a key part of the process of attracting a new priest to work with us as we seek to serve the needs of our church, community, and the Gospel.
Focus Groups – In effort to gather more information, the Rector Search Committee will also conduct several focus groups for parishioners to attend. The schedule, along with sign-up sheets for these groups, will be available after the Parish Surveys are received.
Parish Surveys will be available Sunday, August 7,
following the service.
If you wish to use the following link to print the Parish Survey, you may return it:
- During the August 7 Coffee Hour reception – drop in the designated box in Benedict Hall
- By mail – Trinity Survey, PO Box 667, Apalachicola FL 32329-0667
- In person – Bring to the church office and drop in the designated box
DEADLINE TO SUBMIT THE PARISH SURVEY: Thursday, August 18

Evelyn Ogilvie Heads to Tucson |
|
We will miss our friend Evelyn Ogilvie, who has moved to Tucson, Arizona to live with her daughter's family. While she looks forward to spending more time with her four grandsons and their parents, she leaves us with her legacy of service to Trinity and to Penny's Worth, as she takes with her many fond memories. She also leaves several pots of "Toonie's Ivy" which she has nurtured since the vines were removed when the Memorial Garden was created; and, she leaves with us cuttings from the Prayer Plant that she received when her husband died 25 years ago.
A few years ago, she wrote an essay about the importance of memories in dealing with adversity, stating..."I do not believe that I would have had the strength to handle myself with humor rather than complaints had I not been banking memories since my retirement."

The Forgotten Coast Dancing Witches, who practice at Benedict Hall, performed recently in Port St. Joe. They dedicated their earnings to the St. Joseph Bay Humane Society in The Rev. Eric Zile's name. The donation amounted to $300. They wanted to recognize Father Eric for his support and his good wishes. "Though the group was started just for fun," Caroline Ilardi said, "it increases interest, and community support has allowed the dancers to gather sizeable donations for the local humane societies."
