The Busy Weekend at Trinity
This evening our Vestry begins its annual overnight retreat at Camp Washington in Litchfield County, CT. As we have four new members, this evening's sessions focus around the interdependent roles of Clergy, Wardens and Vestry, the role of the Vestry not just as the body that passes a budget but as partners with the clergy in setting a vision for the church and helping to develop ways to further God's mission at Trinity. Pray for us as we enter into this time of team building and prayerful attention to what God is calling us to at Trinity.
Sunday is our annual Youth Sunday celebration. At the 10 a.m. service we will honor all our graduating high school seniors -- Chivelle Blisset, Marcia Lee, Carrie Margeson, Cathleen Mathew, and Justin White -- who will share their stories and their plans for the future with the congregation during the sermon time. We will also honor two other graduates -- Kim Litsey who just graduated from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale with a Master of Divinity Degree, and Jacob Troiano who has graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering.
We then will pick up picnic lunches prepared by John Hinkston and his merry hospitality crew and proceed to the carousel in Bushnell Park for our annual carousel party. Everyone is invited to enjoy the carousel and free popcorn from 12 noon to 2 p.m. courtesy of Trinity Church. The event will go on rain or shine in the carousel pavilion.
In the afternoon, I will be attending the Holy Founders Day celebration at Baitul Aman Mosque in Meriden, CT, at the invitation of Dr. Saquid Samee, a Pakistani Muslim and one of the cardiac surgeons who treated me during my stay at Hartford Hospital in December. During my hospitalization we had conversations about the role of faith in the healing process. Representatives of the Hindu, Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths will be present share the foundations of their faith traditions and together seek paths to inter-religious tolerance and respect. The symposium will take place at 410 Main Street, Meriden CT.
I hope that you will join us in worship and fellowship on Sunday! Have a blessed day! Your brother in Christ, Don+
