Alleluia, Christ is Risen!
The Lord is Risen Indeed!
Welcome to Easter season friends.
I love the season of Lent.
I love the introspective nature of the readings.
I love the self-reflection.
I love the focus of holding back.
And I love the season of Easter too.
Mentally and emotionally,
it helps me to move to a more open space.
I have been thankful for the ability to regather and the feeling of hope and safety that the vaccines have brought many. I am delighted that I can see many of you again and that we can worship together.
While there are some things that Zoom works well for, there are other things were it is not a long term substitute.
Eucharistic Worship is one of those things.
Gathering together and being in community are vital for the health of the Church, and I can hardly wait until we can all be together, and sing and share from the chalice
(seems foreign, doesn't it?).
May the joy of this season be a blessing to our souls.
May the hope of resurrection give us strength.

Holy Trinity Parish is now officially a member of the Interfaith Food Ministry
My special favorite endeavor at IFM is their support—even to the extent of providing actual “seed money” to local produce farms in Nevada and Placer counties. Again, they are asking for donations earmarked for this project, which they call Good Food for All.
As a participating church at IFM, many of you enjoy feet-on-the-ground donation of your time, and so you know how satisfying it is to work with this group.
If you wish to make a donation, send your check in the mail, or bring it to IFM. Please write “Match” on the Memo liner:
Mailing Address: Interfaith Food Ministry
440 Henderson
Grass Valley, CA 95945
Thank you for your continuing support of this wonderful ministry.
Carol Fegté
Holy Trinity's representative to IFM
We've Backed a Winner!
Isn’t it a well-deserved honor, that in the “Best of” event from the Union this year Interfaith Food Ministry (IFM) received 2 “Best of” votes, one for Best Non-Profit, and one for Best Community Contributor. I’m sure some Holy Trinity parishioners took a moment to vote for this wonderful organization.
Individual volunteers are always welcome at IFM.
Donations of $$ are happily accepted. IFM purchases surplus foodstuffs (canned goods, packaged pasta, nuts, chips and many various food items) at 19 cents a pound. Where else could you get such a bang for your donation buck?
Now that church is open on Sunday, it will be easier to drop off your food items in the basket, and your thoughtfulness will help our community.

Holy Trinity's
Little Library Memorial
|
|
For several years now this little library has been a
popular destination for many in our parish and neighborhood.
|
|
Rev. Rich DeGiorgis, was a great lover of books, and this Memorial Library, beautifully created by Lee Adams in Fr. Rich's honor, adorns the lovely garden area slightly up hill from Holy Trinity's Sanctuary entrance.
Our Little Library continue to grow abundantly! Many of the books in the little library have been donated by those in our parish and from the community. We very much appreciate this generosity and we could use some help from a "little librarian" to curate the collection of donated books, to keep our little library tidly and easily accessible to everyone.
