Holy Cow! Online Survey Coming Soon
As Trinity goes through a time of transition while reemerging from the disruption of the past 2 years, the vestry and leadership of the church has hired a consultant to help assess some of the current concerns and priorities of our parishioners. You will be receiving information about on on-line survey within the next couple of weeks. We strongly urge all of our parishioners to take the time to thoughtfully complete this survey, which should take only 15-20 minutes. Your input will be invaluable to the clergy, vestry, and staff of Trinity as we make plans for our future ministry together.

Lenten Soup Suppers
This year we are finally regathering for our Lenten Soup Suppers in-person! Wednesdays in Lent March 9, March 16, March 23, and April 6. Soup Supper Begins at 5:30 PM.
Because we have had so little opportunity for fellowship the past 2 years, we are going to place the focus this year on the suppers themselves, with very short, informal presentations and lots of opportunity for discussion. We want these sessions to be informal and fun. Right now, more than anything else, we just need to be together! As always, we will close each session with worship. And, as always, we will enjoy fabulous soups provided by different ministry groups of Trinity. We hope you and your family will plan to join us.

Recommended by Barb Parmeter
Jeff Chu, writer, teacher,preacher, and Krista Tippet, OnBeing podcast host, share excerpts from Rachel Held Evans latest book, Wholehearted Faith. They reflect on the incarnation, faith and doubt, prayer, and grief. Rachel's words touched my soul as they read. It is okay to have days of doubting; okay if you don't have all the answers; and most importantly, we are beloved. I am eager to read all of what Rachel had to say about living in wholehearted faith.
