Another Way to "Love our Neighbors"

Trinity’s Love Our Neighbors Committee is focusing on ways in which parishioners can become more directly involved in our outreach efforts. Some of the regular programs we currently offer include the Angel Tree at Christmas, Habitat for Humanity work days, and volunteering for the Arm in Arm food pantry, among others. 

At the beginning of this school year, we sponsored a program to provide backpacks filled to the brim with school supplies for 100 elementary through high school age students identified by our outreach partner, HomeFront. The backpacks, which included canvas lunch boxes, were purchased with our Outreach budget, with supplies donated by nearly 40 parishioners.

We want to thank our donors for their generosity, including Betsy Ashton, Mary Bremer, Dulcie Bull, Matthew Dodd-Nickles, Lynda Dodd, Connie Esher, Steve Evans, Martin Geiger, Dan & Nell Haughton, Terri Hermann, Lucia Huebner, Deborah Jordan, Joyce Kelleher, Mary Ann Keyes, Allan King, Karen Leckey, Dirk Maney, Thalia Mingo, Dorothy Morin, Costa Papastephanou, Leslie Jennings Rowley, Tom & Melissa Scott, Tara Sikma, Jennifer Stone, Phillip Unetic, Ann Zultner, and many other donors who gave anonymously.

Trinity’s Outreach is enabling 100 students in our community to start their school year off right, and that’s just one more way we can “Love Our Neighbors.”

A Litany for the Restoration of Peace in the Holy Land 

God of peace, we pray for the people of Palestine and Israel in these perilous and  dangerous times. 

For all who are fearful for the safety of their loved ones and themselves, we pray that  the assurance of unfailing love, even in the midst of danger, settles upon them. Shelter  them from despair and protect them from harm. 

For all who are wounded, we pray they find healing. 

For all who have died, we pray they find rest. 

For all who grieve, we pray they find comfort. 

For leaders on all sides, we pray for a renewed will to lay down arms, for the strength to  put the grievances and wrongs suffered by their people to rest, and for the conviction to  embrace a path of reconciliation and peace that preserves the rights and dignity of all of  your children. 

God of mercy, help us to remember there is no border that can separate us from your  great love and protection, no stone that can sound the well of your deep mercy. 

God of justice, we pray with hopeful hearts that your beloved children of the Holy Land  will be spared a future of sustained violence and unrest and that a recognition of the  humanity of all people will prevail. 

We ask all this in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen.
