Say cheese! Trinity signs contract
for parishioner photo directory
|
Trinity Church has signed a contract with
Ambient Light Picture Studios to produce a full-color, church directory at no
cost to the parish or its parishioners.
All
participating Trinity members will receive a free 8x10 portrait (the same photo
used in the directory) and a copy of the new directory. Ambient Light will also
donate 10% of total sales of extra family portraits ordered to the church, a
key element in the decision to use Ambient to produce the directory.
Signing
up for the picture taking will begin at the Parish Homecoming Picnic after the
conclusion of the 10am service on September 13th. Parishioners will
also be able to register for a photo session online, beginning on September 5th.
Ambient has agreed to schedule taking pictures into the Thanksgiving weekend of
November 27th-29th, which allows our families to include students
home from college and grandparents visiting for the holiday. Photography can be
scheduled weekdays from 2pm-9pm, Saturday from noon- 7pm, or Sunday noon-6pm.
After you
have your photo snapped, Ambient will show you the photos on a computer monitor
so you can instantly choose the image you wish for the directory. Parishioners
can order extra photos in time to create Christmas gifts. Ambient also allows
family members who are not members of Trinity to appear in the photo, as well
as the use of props, such as family prayer books, or wearing your choir or
acolyte robes. Clothing tips from Ambient are available in the parish office.
Trinity Church has not published a parishioner
photo directory since 2002. For more information about the church photo
directory, please call (924-2277) or email Annie Thomas at
thomasa@trinityprinceton.org beginning
September 9th.
No, this isn't a Trinity family, but Ambient does suggest we all wear dark clothing without busy patterns, just like this mystery family.

Are you being called to
Education for Ministry ?
|
We are all called to Christ's ministry
at our baptism. Education for Ministry (EFM) is a program designed to support
Christian lay people in carrying out their ministries in daily life.
Sponsored by the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee,
EFM aims to provide participants with a theological education that focuses on
learning to think theologically, understanding our Christian heritage,
deepening our faith, and developing a Christian community.
Participants commit to
participating in the program for one year at time; completion of the entire
program takes four years. Participants study the Old Testament in their first
year, and the New Testament in their second year. The third year covers church
history, and the fourth year examines contemporary theological choices and
issues. In addition, participants engage in a series of common lessons and
weekly worship. For more information about the program, go the EFM website
(http://www.sewanee.edu/EFM/index.htm).
EFM is
carried out in a seminar group consisting of six to twelve participants and led
by accredited EFM mentors. At Trinity
Church, an evening group
meets on Thursdays, 7:00 to 9:30, from mid-September through May. The mentors
are Steven Isham and Diane Paulsell. We have 1 or 2 spaces open for the 2009-2010
program year. For more information contact Diane Paulsell (279-1584, dpaulsell@gmail.com)
or Steven Isham (609-890-1602; spiman_nj@yahool.com).
Sarah
Gaventa is interested in starting a day time EFM group this year. Please
contact Sarah if you are interested at
gaventas@trinityprinceton.org.

How Does Your Garden GIVE? |
All those juicy, Jersey
tomatoes with no place to go...
Neighbors start to change the subject when you say
the word "zucchini"...
Bought a CSA share this year, but find you can't
keep up, or are away for a few weeks...
If you wonder what to do with your excess harvest,
The Crisis Ministry's Wednesday morning Community Farmer's Market is just the
solution. Offering fresh, seasonal produce to our neighbors in need, our first
sidewalk Market served 208 households with bananas, carrots, cabbages, and
more! You can deliver right to our Princeton or Trenton locations or contact Food Services
Director Mark Smith (marks@thecrisisministry.org)
for more details. Please be sure to wash
the produce before delivering it.

Trinity families deliver to Crisis Ministry Families in Trenton this summer
|
 |
Trinity
volunteers came through for Crisis Ministry this summer! Thanks to the
leadership of Crisis Ministry liaison Rhonda
Hurlbert, Trinity organized three large groups of volunteers to staff Home
Food deliveries in Trenton
for June, July and August. The groups included adults and children who
brought food bags to elderly and disabled residents in the Kingsbury Towers,
an affordable housing project on Market and Broad Streets. The Crisis
Ministry delivers over 100 bags of food each month to home bound neighbors in
Princeton and Trenton.
Thanks to all the fantastic Trinity Volunteers who came out to help: The Burden Family, The O'Connell Family,
The Fitzgerald Family, The Scott Family, The Chesebrough Family, The Hamilton Family, The Paterson
Family, The Gorman Family, The Reynolds Family, the Hurlbert Family and The Gould Family.

Could you lead our Children's Worship?
|
Do you want to help enrich the
spiritual lives of children at Trinity? We are developing a team of parishioners who will be trained in how to
lead Children's Worship during the 9:00 service in the fall. No musical talent required! Leading Children's Worship is an extremely
rich experience, which can help you experience God in new ways. Contact
The Rev. Sarah Kinney Gaventa at Trinity Church
at 924-2277 or please email her at gaventas@trinityprinceton.org.
