Candidate for Director of Family Ministries

Dear Trinity Church Community,

The Family Ministries Committee has been hard at work conducting a search for the Director of Family Ministries. We will be joined this Sunday by a candidate for this position, Chesirae Valentine-Karlin.

The church community is invited to a forum this Sunday, March 16, immediately following the 10:30 am service. We will be meeting in Pierce-Bishop Hall. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend and share feedback with the Family Ministries Committee following the forum. Childcare with lunch for children will be provided.

Also on Sunday, Chesirae will teach Sunday School for our younger students at 9:30 am, and attend Playful Worship during the 10:30 am service.

Please join us for this important event as we work to strengthen our family ministries program.

Blessings to all!

Volunteers Wanted for Good Grief

With the growth of our Nights of Support in Princeton, Good Grief is now able to support more grieving children and families. We now offer peer support groups on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings.

With a new night added, we are looking for compassionate and kind volunteers who would like to become a peer support group facilitator. Our next facilitator training is May 2nd-4th at Good Grief in Princeton. Our facilitators make all the difference by creating a safe and caring environment where grieving children and their families can express themselves.

Interested individuals can contact volunteer@good-grief.org.

Thank You to our Volunteers!

On Saturday March 1, twenty-one parishioners from Trinity volunteered at Arm in Arm's food warehouse in Hamilton.  According to Shariq Marshal, Development & Community Engagement Coordinator at Arm in Arm, “We sincerely thank you all for your time and efforts this past weekend.   Your group prepared over 200 bags, stocked all of our shelves with the incoming donations, prepared 100 snack bags for kids and cleared  space for our next shipment of inventory in the process. This is a huge impact!”

Thank you to all our volunteers. You made a real difference! 

Special Lecture

The Center of Theological Inquiry invites the Trinity community to join them for a special lecture by the Rev. Dr. Andrew Davison on Monday, March 10 at 5 PM. You may remember Dr. Davison from his time at CTI, when he led the Adult Forum and helped out at the parish on occasion. 

Help Needed for Agape Meal!

Our wonderful Carol Brooks Thomas who normally runs the agape meal will be out of town and can't be the point person the day of, although she can get food and everything ready beforehand. The meal is simple, mostly fruit and cheese. It takes place directly after the Easter Vigil on April 19. 

Volunteers are needed for set up and clean up, but right now the priority is finding someone to run the show day of.
