Farewell and Best Wishes to Julia!

Julia Boudrye, second from left, with Trinity Youth on their recent  Mission Trip to Lapwai, Idaho.

The Episcopal Service Corps, in which Julia has served this year, is a network of programs across the United States for young adults who commit to living simply in intentional Christian community for a year while serving others. From The New York Disaster Recovery Program to The Episcopal Urban Intern Program in Los Angeles, these 30 different programs across the U.S. offer an opportunity to explore growing into spiritual adulthood. Young adults are encouraged to pursue their dreams for the future in the context of their faith, grounded in relationship to others, and the communities they serve.

While working in the LEVN program this year, Julia has served the campus ministry program at U.C. Davis as well as working at Trinity. In her recent sermon, she described her experiences here, which have led her to follow a call into ordained ministry. (Listen to her sermon on our website!) She leaves us to attend Princeton Theological Seminary where she'll pursue not only her masters in divinity, but her love for youth ministry as well; Princeton has one of the best youth ministry programs in the U.S.! This Sunday is Julia's last Sunday at Trinity. We are hosting a brunch on Sunday to share our recent Mission Trip experiences, and to wish Julia well; everyone is invited. Please join us as we send her off on her next adventure! We'd also like to help her start the new school year - please consider contributing to a fund to help her purchase text books. 

Thank you!

Bible and Book of Common Prayer Challenge 

The goal is to read one chapter in the New Testament, one Psalm, and one of the prayers in the Book of Common Prayer each day for one year to anchor each day in scripture, and to become familiar with the beauty of the prayers in the Prayer Book.  Rhonda Canby is the facilitator for this TNAC class.

7:00pm - Voices of Faith

July 17 Peter Hallock

Few musicians have made such a lasting contribution to American church music in the Twentieth Century than Peter Hallock. For forty years he was organist, choirmaster, and Canon Precentor at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle. During his tenure at the Cathedral, he began the tradition of singing the service of Compline each Sunday evening, a tradition which has spread throughout North America. Adding to this was his depth as a composer and teacher. Join us as we explore this giant of church music, who died on April 28th of this year.

Bagging frozen french fries at the Idaho Food Bank

Our youth group recently got back from a mission trip to Lapwai, ID.   Together with 70 other youth and adults, we worshipped, painted, worked at a food bank, spent time with senior citizens in a skilled nursing facility, put on a kids camp, and learned about our identity through Christ in the world today. Many of you were able to take part in our adventure through our blog (www.trinityEYF.weebly.com). We would love the chance to share with you in person this Sunday, July 20th This adventure would not have been possible without your prayers and financial support, and we want to share our experiences and recognize all of those who contributed! We will provide brunch, stories from our trip, and lots of smiles. Everyone is invited. All you have to do is bring yourself!
