Grace MacNeil Lecture of the Natchez Historical Society Tuesday, April 24th at 6:30 p.m.
|
The annual Grace MacNeil Lecture of the Natchez Historical Society (NHS) will be presented on the evening of April 24 in the Trinity Church Parish Hall (305 S. Commerce St.). A social gathering will be held and refreshments served at 6:30pm followed by the lecture and program at 7pm. This event is free and open to the public.
Judy Wiggins, a well- known historical reenactor, will portray two American First Ladies: Varina Howell Davis and Mary Todd Lincoln. When asked to outline her presentation, she wrote: “Tragedies and travails of the Civil War were conditions that both shared, but only one survived the ordeal. The wives of the presidents of the United States and the Confederacy led parallel lives in many respects. With the advent of the war, the old adage that a woman’s name should appear in the newspaper only three times: her birth, marriage, and death was gone and both women were the fodder for malicious press coverage, jealousy and deceit. Both had admirable qualities: strength, loyalty to their husbands and their husbands’ cause, and commitment to preserving their husbands’ legacies. Varina Howell Davis and Mary Todd Lincoln lived lives full of the joys and sorrows that only a president’s wife can understand.”
Don’t miss this capstone event of the NHS program year that complements our mission: to preserve, enhance and strengthen the historical legacy of Natchez and Adams County. Please mark your calendars for the next NHS historical program on September 25, 2018. Help us expand our NHS membership base by bringing a friend, a colleague and/or a family member to our next meeting.

Claws for a Cause! May 20, 2018
|
|
Dear Trinity Church members,
Sarah Lindsey Laukhuff, Claws for a Cause co-chair, and I are excited about our 4
th
Claws for a Cause that is quickly approaching on Pentecost Sunday, May 20
th
. We will be blocking off South Commerce for the afternoon and evening of Sunday, May 20 to enjoy delicious lobster, great barbecue chicken, hamburgers, games for the kids and live music featuring
The Pine Belt Pickers
from Hattiesburg. We’ll be flying the lobster in from Maine and cooking them from 5:00 until 8:00 pm.
All proceeds will be evenly split between two ministries: Natchez Stewpot and The Damascus Endowment. Natchez Stewpot serves hundreds of meals each day to those in need in our community, and The Damascus Endowment provides scholarships for special needs individuals to attend Camp Bratton-Green. Our diocesan camp has touched the lives of many special needs campers with two, week-long sessions each summer and has also provided opportunities for generations of counselors to learn servant ministry.
Ticket packets will be available and distributed at the church on Sunday, April 15 but you can also encourage friends and family to purchase tickets by calling 601-445-8432 or, after April 15, at www.trinitynatchez.org/claws-for-a-cause
We need your help in pulling off this great event! Please sign up for a work shift with Lee Carby (601) 334-6224; Sarah Lindsey Laukhuff (601) 818-4862; or Betty Jo Harris (318-336-3323).

A Prayer For This Week
We thank you
that Easter is not about a people,
but all people,
that your love and your Salvation
are for all who confess with voices, hearts and lives
that the tomb is empty
because Jesus is risen,
that we might know forgiveness,
that lives might be reborn
and your name glorified
now and for eternity.
Amen
