MAUNDY THURSDAY Food Donation
The traditional washing of feet/hands during the Holy Thursday Celebration will be replaced by a bringing forward of food for the hungry.
What better way for us to wash the feet of another than to give to another?
All items will be blessed during the service before they are taken to the Wellspring Food Pantry.
"Then the King will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, that was Me.
You did it to me."

Rededication Events, May 31, 10:00 a.m. include a blessing by Bishop Edward Little. At 5:00 p.m. Wayne Peterson will lead a Recital and Reception.

To the full voiced quire below,
In service high, and anthems clear,
As may with sweetness, through mine ear,
Dissolve me into ecstasies,
And bring all heaven before mine eyes."

Tea and Talk
The group meets at 8:30 on Sunday mornings in the Trinity Lounge to discuss in an unstructured setting a wide range of topics such as the Christian response to various news items of the day, western and non-western religions, books, both fiction and nonfiction, and whatever topic or idea participants bring to the tea and coffee table. It is a discussion of ideas rather than a formal study of any one topic. Throughout 2014-2015 each participant will assume responsibility for leading the group discussion on a voluntary rotating basis. For more information contact Larry W. Griffin at larry.griffin24@gmail.com.
