Greetings,
At the end of March, the Vestry met for a retreat to conduct a Mutual Ministry Review. The time was led by Canon Mary Hauck and was focused on evaluating the ministry that happens through Holy Trinity. The goal was to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses, as well as to determine what things were in need of repair and/or investment.
It was a lovely day together as we talked openly about what we see in front of us. Here are some highlights:
- Everyone was happy with the way we had walked through this season of COVID:
- We acknowledged the continued financial support of those that call Holy Trinity home.
- We also acknowledged the new work that had come about during this time (the website, Morning Prayer, streaming services).
- We agreed on some important areas of focus:
- We talked through the need to reach out to younger families and being able to support them with educational opportunities for them and their children.
- We also gave thought to how we could continue to reach out to those who are new in our church.
Sometime in the future, I would like to do an All-Parish meeting to get some feedback about these things and answer any questions. Until then, let us continue to move forward on this journey of faith.
Peace,
brad+

Dinners for Our Neighbors
WHY EVERY OTHER TUESDAY?
Actually, a dinner is served at Trinity EVERY Tuesday. We share this ministry with our sister church, Emmanuel Grass Valley, so we trade off Tuesdays with them. But nonetheless, a hot meal is waiting for any takers every Tuesday at 5 pm, and we are so happy that we can now serve the meals indoors, in the Bishop Kip Room--so much friendlier!
Upcoming dates for Holy Trinity's service on Tuesday nights:
May 11
May 25
June 8.
We would be happy for your to come and host with us on Tuesdays, or if you like, you can cook a dish for us.
If you'd like to be added to the email list which goes out as a reminder, please contact Carol Fegté. We'd love to have you join us.

We are gratefully supportive of the Interfaith Food Ministry (IFM) for the wonderful work they are doing right here in Nevada County. The volunteers at IFM are a wonderfully kind and dedicated and hard-working group of local people who genuinely care about those in our community.
March was "giving month" at IFM, with a matching grant offered for all money donated. They had a goal of raising $120,000; they received $211,000.
Your dollar works SO hard when its donated to the Interfaith Food Ministry, going directly to those in our community in need.
Thank you all for leaving food in the basket that rests in the narthex before Sunday services. It finds its way to IFM every week, to join the food offerings dropped off by 16 other local churches. This is feeding the hungry in its most basic form. If you'd like to read about the many wonderful programs of this nonprofit group, there is information galore on the IFM Website (linked below).
Thanks for helping in these important ministries.

Holy Trinity's
Little Library
|
|
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's 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 tidy and easily accessible to everyone.
