Message from Bryan "in the Interim" |

In Prayer
Dear fellow travelers at Trinity,
Because I was gone this week, our Thursday group that gathers for morning prayer prayed on their own.
I sent along the prayer we would have prayed, and you can reach it at the link below, in case you would like to pray it (or some portion of it) as well. When we pray together on Zoom, we usually divide up the parts and take turns reading or leading the prayers—just like on Sunday. You are most welcome to join us next Thursday at 10 am. I find it to be a nice way to add some common prayer through the week.
Until Sunday,
Bryan

Scripture Study Meets Saturday Mornings
Please join us on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. (2 p.m. UTC) on Zoom for our Scripture Study.
Participants take turns facilitating prayer and reflection on any or all of the current Sunday's lectionary readings, which are available at https://www.lectionarypage.net (We use Track 1, if there is a choice.)
Weekly facilitators choose any or all of the readings and simply come prepared with a few wonderings or questions (not "quizzes") based on their selected scriptures to stimulate reflection--including questions they feel they cannot satisfactorily answer. Beyond that, leaders may prepare as little or as much as desired and employ whatever props or helps they wish.
(In case you missed it, our Saturday Scripture Study ceased being a "men's group" about a year ago; all are welcome.)

2021 Trinity Spring Clean-up
Yes, it's that time of year again. We are planning to have the Trinity Campus weeded, trimmed and looking its best on Saturday, May 15th. Please mark your calendars and plan to contribute a few hours to make Trinity stand out.
The Campus made it through the winter in great shape. We expect that the clean-up should not take long, especially if we have enough volunteers.
We will start at 9 a.m. and hope to be finished by noonish.
Specifically, we are looking for volunteers that can weed bedding areas, rake up the minimal winter debris, edge around the bedding areas and prune bushes. This year, we will be adding the grounds around the Rectory.
Please bring any tools that you may have as we have a limited supply at Trinity.
Hopefully the weather will be supportive and we will have a chance to stretch all those muscles that have been dormant through the winter and Covid-19.
Please reply to Peter Barber, Building and Grounds, as soon as you can, either by text (847.431.8114) or by email (pbarber@bhhschicago.com) so that he can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Thank You from Beckway / Paas Family
Harper’s first Holy Communion was a perfect day for our family. It was a blessing from God and we are grateful.
We also want to thank Father Bryan and all who assisted him for the beautiful church service. In particular, the lovely, gentle thoughtful homily, so specific to Harper, was meaningful to all.
Finally, we want to thank our Trinity Church family for the comfort, the support and the joy we felt from your presence and your kind works last Sunday.
Gratefully,
The Beckway / Paas Family

Book Club to Discuss The Four Winds
Our next book club discussion will be on June 2, at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The selection is The Four Winds by Kristen Hannah. The story takes place during the Dust Bowl era of the Great Depression. Thousands of families are faced with the choice of staying on dying farms and land or traveling west to California in hopes of a better life. One can read this story and feel a part of it, almost tasting the dust as storms roared across Texas with a vengeance. Life in California is no better, as it explores the living conditions and prejudices toward migrant workers.

Virtual Gala Planned for Fall
Hello Dear Trinity Friends:
The Vestry voted to hold a Virtual Gala this fall (date TBD). This will be a very different take on our traditional Gala venue and requires some creative thinking on the part of the Gala Committee. If anyone is interested in serving on the Gala Committee (a few of the former members are returning), we would love to have you! Please contact Cynthia Wolpert at cynthia.wolpert@gmail.com if you are interested in being a part of this amazing committee!
Thank you.
Cynthia Wolpert and Jodie McCann
Gala Co-Chairs
