Hello Dear People of Trinity Church,
To say that I am looking forward to our time together over the next few months is an understatement. Thank you very much for inviting me back to Trinity for the remainder of this interim time. I arrive in the parish on January 2nd and will soon be meeting with Wardens, Vestry, Staff, and other groups to see how I can best pick up the opportunities that are now before us all. The period between installed Rectors is a time for reflection on possible new directions or points of emphasis in ministry, a time to consider our strengths and our growing edges. It is not yet clear to me how much of this work has already been done. I will look for wisdom and insight from all of you as we join in the journey ahead.
Of course I am excited to be reconnecting with old friends, and of equal importance is meeting new ones. Barbara joins me in sending you all greetings for this Christmas season and for Epiphany which we will celebrate this coming Sunday, January 5th.
Blessing and Joy for the New Year.
+Martin
