Fr. Bill Adams, Our Rector Emeritus,
will say Eucharist October 17
We invite you to welcome Fr. Bill and celebrate Eucharist on Sunday in the church at 9:30 am.
Fr. Bill accepted the invitation to be Rector of Trinity Church in December of 1986, moving to Amador County from Sacramento, where his was Curate at St. Michael's Episcopal Church at the time. He stayed until September of 2008, nearly 22, years living in Pine Grove with his wife, Kathy, and three children. The Cutting Edge book study of today was among the programs he implemented during his tenure, all of which led to the increase of Trinity's membership in those years. After leaving Trinity, Fr. Bill and Kathy were called to Ukiah where he served as Priest-in-Charge for nearly 6 years before his retirement from service. He now lives in Sacramento serving for a time on the staff of Trinity Cathedral. He is now supplying where needed throughout the Diocese.
Fr. Bill graduated with a degree in Philosophy from Sacramento State University and a Masters degree from The Church Divinity School in Berkeley.

Trinity Guidelines
for Worship in the Church
-
Masking— we can provide a mask
-
Signing in—for now (for contact tracing)
-
Distancing—chairs are set up in the church at appropriate distances.
-
Sanitizing hands before and after restroom use.
-
Singing—The Diocese has requested we refrain from singing a little longer. Mary will play the piano in church as a prelude and postlude.
-
Communion—Stay at your seat and the priest (or a Eucharistic Minister) will come to you. We will offer the bread only at this time, recognizing that it is still receiving the fullness of Christ's presence. You can choose not to accept.
-
The Peace—Acknowledge each other and offer your peace to fellow worshipers from your place in the church.
