Volunteers & Visitors Create an Enjoyable & Successful Tour of Homes | |
|
Around 850 toured the homes and Community Garden and shopped the auction and sale on May 6. With an impressive 638 tickets sold, more wristbands had to be located on tour day and the sale of tickets extended an hour. Tour of Homes is Trinity’s largest ministry. Our Home and Garden Tour is not possible without the support of church and community volunteers – greeters, silver polishers, ticket sellers – and those who contribute to the Pillar Program and auction, offer their voices for Evensong, and graciously open their homes and gardens. For them we are so grateful.

Getting ready -- Tour of Homes chair, Sabrina Fornes, pressure washing the church; Auction committee taking a lunch break during a busy set-up day; Greeters learning about their assigned houses; and, a lovely Evensong reception orchestrated by Kerry Petty. | | |

Showtime -- Homes & the Silent Auction welcome hundreds of visitors, while the cashiers sort the money. | |
What a day -- Volunteers enjoy a great appreciation meal and companionship in Gorrie Square on Saturday evening; and, Sr. Warden Rennie Edwards, Tour chair Sabrina Fornes, and Co-chair Tara Carter report success and thank volunteers. | |

Resist Responding to Scam Emails | |
|
Warm greetings to you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though I am still a few weeks from arrival, it seems that scammers are ahead of me. Someone is using my name to email or text parishioners, asking them to handle something discreetly and confidentially. This is not me. This will NEVER be me. I will never text or email you asking to buy gift cards, divulge any personal information, or anything of the sort. These are scams that target unsuspecting, charitable people like this community.
The best way to combat these types of attacks is to:
- Never click on any links or reply to any message if you have any suspicion that an email or text is fraudulent. Scammers earn a living making links look genuine, but they are fake.
- If you are still unsure, stop by or call the church (850-654-9550) to question it. We want to know when people are impersonating any Trinity staff!
-
Report it: label it as spam, or report fraudulent emails to the Anti Phishing Work Group at reportphishing@apwg.org, or report text scams at Federal Trade Commission's Complaint Assistant.
Trinity will stay aware of these issues and keep you informed as they arise. In the meantime, enjoy the remainder of this Eastertide season, and I hope to see you on Trinity Sunday!
-- God’s Peace, Stephen
The Rev. Stephen Pecot

Name Tags, Please!
June is fast approaching as we prepare to welcome Stephen Pecot, our new priest in charge, and his wife Travis. Let’s all commit to wearing name tags on Sundays.
If your name tag is misplaced or broken, please sign up to receive another one before May 30. There will be a sign-up sheet in the back of the church and one in Benedict Hall for the next two weeks.
Your new tags will be placed in the rack in the church. We will also encourage visitors to fill out Visitor name tags.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
