Looking forward to seeing YOU
|
| 
We're
giving the rector time off today so he can start cooking that entrée for
eight people for our Trinity Sunday's picnic on the Stockton lawn. He's looking forward to
recognizing (at the 10 a.m. service) our devoted Sunday school teachers and talented choir members, and
watching all the children behold their first sight of that big, big, red and yellow air
slide.
Most of all, he's looking forward to seeing YOU there.

HONORING OUR FATHERS
Father's Day Donations
to the Crisis Ministry and
Father's Day Food Drive
-
Sunday, June 21
Please take a Crisis Ministry grocery bag from the Narthex this Sunday and return it with your food donations (a list is stapled to the bag) on Father's Day, June 21st. Click here for more information and to download the shopping list NOW!
Need some motivation to give? Read this thoughtful letter from The Rev. Jarrett Kerbel, friend of Trinity Church and Executive Director of The Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton--an Outreach program of Trinity Church!Dear
friends,
My
father taught me how to be generous. The example of his unfailing generosity
and charitable concern lives in my heart. Whenever I make a gift I am honoring
my father, honoring his values and the spirit he gave me.
Honor
your father this Father's Day by making a gift to your neighbors in need,
either by making a donation to the Crisis Ministry here or through the food drive being
held at Trinity Church on Sunday, June 21st.
Don't
forget the Old Spice-just spice it up with a gift to the people who come to the
Crisis Ministry in need.
-Jarrett
Kerbel, Executive Director
The Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton
 Oatmeal, instead of Old Spice, or cereal, instead of a tie, would make a great gift to the Crisis Ministry in your Dad's honor on June 21st. |
Senior Youth to Voyage all the way to Philadelphia on July 26-August 1
There is a place for YOU on this trip!
|
This
summer the Senior High Youth Group will be traveling all the way to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
We will be working with Broad Street Ministry. What, you may ask, is Broad Street Ministry?
"In 2005, Broad Street
Ministry (BSM) formed as an alternative church community. BSM seeks to be dynamic in
its expression of worship, embracing of those both on the margins of faith and
those who have enjoyed the embrace of the church. BSM also welcomes into its
body not just those who are on the margins of faith but those who are on the
margins of society. The member of prestigious private clubs worships alongside
the homeless person. The gay and lesbian activist passes the peace with the Pentecostal
lay preacher. The possessor of a PhD. In theology prays alongside the summa cum
laude graduate of the School of Hard Knocks. Churches should regularly feature
this kind of diversity but in our experience they seldom do. We believe that
diversity of belief, skin tone and life circumstance strengthens our witness as
a Christian community-and we work hard to extend it."
At Broad Street our young people will not only be working with the homeless, but they will also be
working with and learning from clergy who will present poverty
and homelessness as institutional social inflictions.
The trip will
be from Sunday July 26-Saturday August 1st. The cost is $400.00. All Trinity Youth from rising 10th graders up are invited to participate. For further
information please contact Michael Lovaglio at michael.lovaglio@ptsem.edu

Happy 160th Anniversity
Trinity Church,
Pass Christian,
Mississippi
|
 |
Our sister parish, Trinity Church in Pass Christian, Mississippi, celebrates its 160th anniversary this Sunday on June 7th.
Almost recovered from the ravages of Hurricane Katrina, her parishioners are having a celebratory picnic on the grounds of their almost-restored and improved church. We celebrate their journey back and look forward to their next 160+ years!
What's our connection with Trinity Church, Pass Christian?
After Katrina, Trinity Princeton and Trinity Pass Christian entered into a partnership with the goal of restoring the parish to its pre-hurricane glory. Members of our parish traveled to Mississippi less than two months after the storm, and went back many more times over the course of two years. In addition to helping hands, we sent donations and offered prayers and other support for our brothers and sisters. As they prepare to re-inhabit their beloved sanctuary, we wish them all well, and they ask for our prayers for their continued recovery and growth.
