Adult Forum - A Journey Thru the Catechism

April 6 - 9 AM, Brooks Hall

Our "Journey thru the Catechism” continues this Sunday with follow up questions and conversations about our Judeo-Christian Tradition and a broad-strokes history of the Book of Common Prayer.  All adults and older youth are invited to share in this journey, especially those recently confirmed or received. Join us as we refresh and dig more deeply into what it means to walk along the Way in and through the Episcopal Church. Contact: Elizabeth WJ+.

WEDNESDAYS IN LENT: Our final "Soup & Stories" look back at the history of Trinity will be two-fold, focusing on 1) The History of Outreach and Caring Efforts and 2) The Challenges faced and how we Overcame them. We will wrap up our time with a collaborative expression of Hope for the future and Evening Prayers that call us into the next leg of our journey. We NEED more soups for this Wednesday, AND IF you are able to help with soup set up and clean up, Meg and Rick Walsh, would be grateful for help in the kitchen and dining area! Contact: Meg Walsh.
