Grateful Hearts, Gracious Lives Forum Series
Sundays through 10/5, 11:15 am, Lloyd Forum
As we begin our year of “Grateful Hearts, Gracious Lives,” join Morgan and Brandon for a four-part series overviewing grace: the faithful virtue; and graciousness: the ethical practice. We will approach these ideas from our Anglican perspectives of scripture, tradition, and reason, as well as contemporary resources in popular culture.
This Sunday, Brandon will explore the meaning of grace and graciousness through the lens of scripture.

New Prison Reentry Ministry: Mentors Needed!
The Partakers Empowerment Program (PEP) is a Mentor-centered reentry program that supports formerly incarcerated and soon-to-be-released individuals as they return to their communities. PEP participants will be paired with Mentors who provide the critical support and personal connection essential to navigating the challenges of reentry. Several Trinity parishioners currently participate in an existing Partakers program (“College Behind Bars”), and you can join them in this transformative ministry! A minimal time commitment of 2 hours per week for 14 weeks over Zoom is required.
Contact Ministry leader Pam Warren for details at trinitychurchboston.org/outreach-justice.
