From the Rector
Schools will be out by the end of this week and summer vacations will begin. I hope everyone will remember that worship continues at Trinity and at churches wherever you may be during the summer. God never takes a vacation from us and we shouldn't take a vacation from God. As you make your travel plans, why not find Episcopal Churches to visit in the locations wherever you will be on Sundays? Bring back a service leaflet and let us know what others are doing. And, when you are near a computer this summer, check to see what's posted on e-piphanies.com.
I'll see you in church!

On Saturday, May 24, lay and clergy delegates from the Diocese of Texas will gather at Christ Church Cathedral to elect a Bishop Coadjutor, one who will succeed Bishop Wimberly upon his retirement as Bishop of Texas. Your delegates are meeting and attending "walkabouts" in the process of discernment that leads to the election. As a diocese, we are all invited to join the following prayer.
Gracious God, you call the church to witness to your Kingdom revealed through Jesus Christ: Send your Holy Spirit to guide into unity the hearts and minds of the people who will be electing the next Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, that our diocese might be led by a person of your own choosing, who will help us ever more become the people and Church you have created us to be-a people who witness to the Kingdom of God boldly, minister unselfishly, and worship joyfully. All this we pray in the name of our Master Teacher, Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Summer Plans for the Children
(3 YRS - 5TH GRADE at 10:15 a.m.)

Enjoy popcorn, goldfish and juice spending time with Larry the Cucumber, Junior the Asparagus and Bob the Tomato. Tentative dates are July 6 through August 24. Godly Play will resume on Rally Day, September 7.

Wear your Trinity lapel pin!
By wearing your Trinity lapel pin, you invite others to ask about its significance, thereby providing a natural opportunity to speak about your church and its meaning for your life. If you do not own a lapel pin, you may purchase one at a cost of $5 in the parish office. The pin displays the arms of Trinity Church, the same as our banner.
