Dear Trinity Family,
It’s hard to believe that Summer is almost behind us and Fall is on the horizon. As we gear up for the season I wanted to let you know of some wonderful opportunities we are working toward. My hope and desire is for Trinity to be up and rolling as much as possible with Adult forums, support groups, music school, in person services, online services, in person committee meetings and other community events. All this is possible if we keep safety first, which we all have a responsibility in, as we love our neighbor as our self! So without further ado let’s explore some options
As we move into the education year we will kick off the season September 13th with a few educational offerings. Each week when you receive your Sunday’s at Home email you will begin to notice two additional options. The first will be a Children’s Sunday school class called “Trinity Kids”. Each week you will hear from me, a couple of songs from Christian and a Bible story from the “Jesus Storybook Bible” written by Sally Lloyd-Jones, illustrated by Jago Silver and narrated by David Suchet. You can listen to a sample by clicking the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCLRcA9mlQE
We will also begin a virtual adult forum entitled the “The Rector’s Forum”. Each week you will hear from me and then we will have a teaching by a few different people in the church and by a few guests. Stay tuned for more information regarding “The Rector’s Forum”.
Our live outdoor worship service in the Bishop’s Garden continues to grow with 90 in attendance a few weeks ago and 88 last Sunday. If you have not attended I would like to ask you to consider joining us. It’s a wonderful time to come and see your friends, worship God together, and begin the week in church. You will need to bring a mask, a chair, and a heart for worship. Invite a friend and come on out to the garden at 9am.
We are planning to have our Annual Meeting on October the 4th just after the 9am service. The meeting will begin with the Trinity family coming together over breakfast prepared by The Market at Bluewater Kitchen. The vestry has worked hard this year to pull all the reports together and is eager to share these with you. The slate of four vestry candidates has been vetted by the outgoing class and will need to be affirmed at the annual meeting (See complete bios and pictures on pages 2 & 3). We will also kick off the season of stewardship. This has been an interesting year at Trinity with new challenges and opportunities. Would you begin now prayerfully to consider your pledge in the coming year? Every one of us has a part to play and if we all pledge something we will accomplish everything God has called us to do. Thank you for your service and desire to give! You can now give online by clicking here https://trinityupperville.org/give
