Save the Date for Father John Dear
Saturday, May 18, 2-4pm
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to meet long-time activist, author, and teacher Father John Dear, who will be visiting Trinity on his national book tour. During these times of warfare, gun violence, racism, poverty, and climate change, John Dear has much to say in his new book, which is a commentary on the Gospels from the perspective of nonviolence. Dear’s Jesus is like Gandhi and Dr. King—nonviolent to the core, a disarming healing presence toward those in need, and a revolutionary disrupter of the unjust status quo. Prepare to be stirred up and inspired. Read more about Father Dear.

Announcement from the Rector
Vestry Change
Please join me in thanking Will Barring for his service on the vestry this past year. Will was elected to the vestry at the February 2023 Annual Meeting, but due to work and travel commitments, he has decided that it would be best for him to step down from this position.
| |
|
Trinity's by-laws allow for the vestry to choose a successor to fill an open, unexpired term. I'm delighted to announce that Susan Krutzsch has agreed to step in to serve as Will's successor. Susan has a special passion for welcoming and including newer people, and with all of Trinity's recent growth, her skills and interests dovetail well with the church's needs.
Again, thank you Will Barring, and congratulations and thank you, Susan Krutzsch.
