Trinity Spotlight

The new Sunday Forum Hour begins Sept 9 at 9:30, between the two services, and our first speaker is author Lindsey Crittenden. Lindsey will be speaking about her book "The Water Will Hold You; A Skeptic Learns to Pray," a "narrative of spiritual exploration and discovery." Keplers will come to the talk with copies f the book for you to purchase.

The new service schedule is underway, after a festive and joyous kick-off on the 9th. Drop in and experience the calming"Peace" service at 8:30 am or the rousing "Joy" service at 10:30 this Sunday.

Whichever service suits your taste and schedule, there is something for everyone in between during the "Forum", from 9:30-10:15. Multiple classes for the adults and activities for the kids. Don't miss it!

You can support our Social Ministries efforts by purchasing tickets to either of the two fun subscription parties this weekend. Enjoy a fabulous Celebration of Indian Summer on Saturday night, or a fun Soccer Party on Sunday afternoon. Or maybe do both!. Either way, the needy in our area benefit from your tax-deductible contribution. Call the church office to reserve a spot or get more info.

Thursday, October 18th at 7:00 pm, Holy Trinity will be honored to host a Town Hall meeting with The Most Rev. Njongonkula Ndungane, the Archbishop of Cape Town and Primate of Southern Africa.

Learn more about his visit.

It's time for your feedback on the new service formats! Over 200 parish households were contacted in the Vestry "Call-A-Thon" this week, and thanks for all the helpful ideas, and you eagerness to help make Trinity even better.

As we approach the season of joy and generosity, please think about how you can give thanks for the blessings in your life by making a commitment of support to your church community. If you have not submitted a pledge for 2008, you do so now by filling out a pledge card in church or with our new On-Line Pledge Form. Every pledge, large or small, is treasured, and your commitment of time and energies in addition to dollars, is what sustains this community.

We stand at the brink of an exciting and eventful year, when we will grow in faith as individuals and a community. We have received pledges of support for the community totaling 87% of our goal and new pledges are coming in. Please join yur neighbors and friends in making a pledge of support; use our new On-Line Pledge Form or fill out a card in church. We're eager to have everyone on-board for 2008 with a pledge be it small or large. Help us plan another great Trinity year for 2008

At Trinity, one of the best ways to find "Christ in community" is to participate in the community through our many ministries and commissions.

Whatever your particular calling, talent or interest, there is a way, at Trinity, for you to meet new friends and do rewarding service. Look over the list of active ministries and think about what new world God is opening to you this year.

We invite you to learn more about the Episcopal Church: history, worship, theology, church structure, sacraments, ministry, and more! Clergy led classes meet during the "Forum Hour" at 9:30 am Sunday from October 11 to Nov. 22.
You are not required to come to all of the classes, but the more you can attend, the better. Contact office@trinitymenlopark.org for more info.

Next Sunday evening brings our monthly Taizé service, the last before a summer break in July and August.

Taizé is an ecumenical community in France, founded in the spirit of reconciliation and peace.

Please join us the night before Lent begins, on Tuesday, February 16 at 6:00 pm for Trinity's famous Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. As ancient Christian households prepared for the season of Lent, they went to church to make their confession, do penance, and receive absolution. They then cleared their pantries of all the foods they were forbiddento eat during Lent, such as butter, lard, eggs, milk, cheese and meat. One way to use many of these items was to make pancakes; giving rise to the English tradition of Shrove Tuesday pancake suppers. In that tradition, we will be serving pancakes, sausages and orange juice, which will be prepared by the Men's Group. All are welcome at this celebration, which also features pancake races for kids of all ages!

Following our 10:30 am Easter service, children under 10 are invited to join us for an Easter Egg hunt on the beautiful Trinity grounds.

Next Sunday evening brings our monthly Taizé service, the last before a summer break in July and August.

Trinity's children's summer program, Kingdom Kamp, begins Sunday, July 11! Jesus taught about the Kingdom of God through stories called Parables. Jesus' parables teach us about the Kingdom in our own lives, and how we can make the Kingdom happen in our world today. Children pre-K and up will explore three parables through outdoor activities, art, games, and outreach projects. Youth and grown-ups will learn about the Kingdom as they teach about the Kingdom! Kingdom Kamp, which will be held during the 10:00 am service, runs on Sundays from July 11 to August 15. Please contact The Rev. Beth Foote for more information.
