All-parish Meeting Sunday, April 28th
On Sunday, April 28th, we will have one service at 9:00 am followed by an all-parish meeting with Canon Dena Cleaver-Bartholomew. Canon Dena will lead us in a Congregational Conversation. This meeting is the second transition workshop.
At this meeting, we will all have the opportunity to respond to questions on the Office of Transition Ministry Profile that will be posted on the Episcopal Church database for clergy seeking new positions. All data gathered will be given to the Trinity profile team to develop the final answers on behalf of the congregation.
It is essential for all of us to participate in order to create an accurate understanding of where the people of Trinity have been, where we are now, and where we are called to grow as God’s people in Cranston. The process takes about two hours and brunch will be served. We will have childcare if you need it.
Trinity’s profile and search teams
Here are the profile and search teams, as approved by the vestry. The profile team consolidates our responses to create the document that is shared with clergy seeking positions. The search team receives, evaluates and interviews candidates with the goal of presenting to the vestry the right priest for Trinity Church.

Food, Food, Food
Please bring food for the brunch. Everyone make your specialty and I’ll make mine – which is shopping for something tasty.
We are well on our way, with the assistance of Canon Dena and Mother Susan, to launching the search process. We are on almost the identical trajectory of the 2022 search, the big difference being we have an interim priest-in-charge to care for us spiritually as we wrestle with everything else. Mother Susan’s constant presence is a gift, and we are fortunate to have an experienced priest walking the way with us.
See you on Sunday. Please stay for the meeting and lend your voice and your answers to some very important questions about Trinity Church.

Senior Warden
