Needed For Trinity's Afghan Family
I. The older Dadwall kids, 8-y/o Abna and 6-y/o Abdul, have been given, through the generosity of Winding Trails Summer Camp, two free weeks at summer camp in August! Neither has ever been swimming, and they need life vests. The refugee resettlement team seeks donations of life vests, or funds to purchase them, from our parishioners. Please note: Abna weighs 60 pounds at this time, and Abdul weighs 40 pounds.
II. The family needs a new computer. The reconditioned computer kindly donated by a local firm has unfortunately not worked out. We are looking for donation of a new computer or funds to purchase one.
If you can help with the life vests or computer, please contact Anne Rapkin at 860-521-5992 or anne.rapkin@gmail.com as soon as possible.
The Dadwalls wish to extend their immense gratitude to the many parishioners who have offered their time, talents, or funds to help the family begin a new life here, secure from the life-threatening dangers that continually surrounded them in their home country. Exile and resettlement in a completely new culture are a huge challenge, but with the help of many caring people, this family is not only surviving but thriving.

Education for Ministry Openings
at St. James’s, West Hartford
EFM is an enriching program for lay people which covers the Old and New Testaments in years one and two, then church history, theology, ethics, moral choices and interfaith encounters in the third and fourth years. It takes place in a small group setting of six to twelve group members. Course materials are structured by the University of the South School of Theology. Weekly meetings focus on readings, personal faith, and reflection on our own experiences and how God has been known to his people through history and in our own lives. A new session will begin in September. Contact Ron Ward, EfM Mentor: rtwtmr@comcast.net or cell: 860 463 8057.
See the link below for more information from participants in the program:
