ECC Camp & Scholarships

Registration for ECC summer camp is open. Summer camps sell out very quickly, so if you have children you are thinking of sending to ECC, you have jump on it. Through our Grace & Red Salisbury scholarship fund, Trinity is able to cover the cost of our campers. Don’t miss out on this opportunity. Make your reservation for summer camp and then let me or Mother Susan know and we will make sure your child’s summer camp experience is covered through our scholarship fund.

Last Sunday's Sermon

By Mother Susan

I imagine we are mostly all familiar with today’s gospel, the wedding at Cana and Jesus turning water into wine. A first century wedding, like weddings today, was a big deal. The whole town of Cana would have turned out to celebrate. The celebration would have gone on for a number of days. Running out of wine would be a problem. Jesus solves the problem. Good news, but hardly the whole story.
