Trinity Youth Help With Outreach Program

Tyler, age 5, pulls the wagon for Outreach Donations at 10:30 am Sunday service on July 28th .

With more chances for our children to become active participants in the 10:30 am service on Sundays, Trinity Youth can volunteer to pull the Red Wagon filled with food donations to be blessed for our neighbors in need here in the FXBG area!

Want to help out? Contact one of the ushers before the service starts and they will get you set up. Pet food is also welcome.

We are so grateful to have yet another chance to engage our kids and honor the value they bring to our Trinity family!

Sign Up To Bring Campus Ministry Dinner

(Tuesdays, This Fall)

Our Episcopal-Lutheran campus ministry (known as The House) invites you to sign up to bring dinner one evening this semester to our weekly Tuesday gathering!

We typically plan for 15-20 students and for a variety of dietary restrictions. You are free to pair up with a friend or friends to provide dinner and you're also welcome to stay and eat with us or drop off and skedaddle.

To sign up, click HERE. With questions, please be in touch with Ethan at missioner@thehousefxbg.org.

Healing Prayer Ministry

To pray for someone, is to lift up their concerns to God with selfless love, or join them in praise and thanksgiving for God’s mercies and blessings. Do you recall when we had a member of Trinity’s team of healing prayer ministers stationed in the rear of the sanctuary on Sundays? You could stop and ask for a prayer as you returned from communion.

Paige Kerby remembers that after her training as a prayer minister she was sure it wasn’t for her. It was too far out of her comfort zone. But Paige took a leap of faith, forged ahead and now says it was one of the most significant ways she strengthened and enriched her faith at Trinity.

The Faith Team of the Vestry would like to re-establish the Healing Prayer Ministry at both Sunday services beginning this fall.

To do so, we need to recruit potential healing prayer ministers from our congregation. If you think you might be interested in becoming a healing prayer minister, you are invited to attend an information and training class on Saturday, September 7th from 10-2pm in Barber Hall.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Dr. Jennifer Vaughan will be our facilitator. Dr. Vaughan is a psychotherapist, educator, spiritual director and member of St. George’s Vestry. In the morning, Jennifer plans to discuss the parameters of our Healing Prayer Ministry, share information on historical and

contemporary prayer, intercessory prayer, confidentiality and setting boundaries, and each person will have a chance to briefly talk about his/her experience with prayer. After lunch we will form triads and practice praying for one another.

Your commitment of time as a healing prayer minister will most likely be one Sunday a month at either service and attendance at quarterly peer review meetings. And, there will always be someone to help you through any concerns or difficulties which may arise.

If, in those quiet moments you feel the Holy Spirit might be nudging you to consider this ministry, please be in touch with me in person, by phone or text at (540) 372-0066 or email at meandhen@earthlink.net no later than September 1st.

We hope to begin the Healing Prayer Ministry

on Sunday, September 15th.

Tom Rotella, Chair, Vestry Faith Team

News from the Trinity Library

Well, the library is a bit messy right now. But there is a method to our madness. We are shifting books and streamlining the collection as we prepare to create the new “Kids Corner” to the left of the couch. But don’t let a little mess put you off from browsing the shelves and taking some books home with you. Remember to list the books on the checkout sheet and put only returned books in the Return Box. No gift books at this time. Thanks!

Tom Rotella,

Library Manager
