Adult Form

The Adult Forum looks at the First Epistle to Timothy

While traditionally attributed to Paul as a letter written to his protégé in Ephesus, modern scholars now think that the First Epistle to Timothy (or 1 Timothy as it is sometimes written) was composed in the late-first to early-second century AD. The letter contains themes of what to avoid and what to repair in the Church, including some instruction that is controversial in our own time. Join us as we explore this book of the New Testament for the next six weeks in the Adult Forum Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM in the downstairs Jackson Kemper Room.

Summer Art Auction

An Art Silent Auction: How does it work?

Excitement is building for the Trinity Summer Art Auction, Saturday June 29 from 1:00 to 5:00. But how exactly will it work? It's pretty simple, and as with most things, more fun if you get in on the action! 

What a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, even more fun if you bring a friend or two, so spread the word! And a good way to spread the word is logging onto the Trinity Facebook page and share our post with the art.

Do you have a great fundraising idea? If so contact Betsi Anderson on the Vestry at [email protected] to share.

TEST TIDBITS: A SPRING INTO SUMMER POEM

Julian of Norwich has some advice about how to enjoy the joys of summertime. Here is her short and sweet poem from the book “Earth Prayers From Around the World’, edited by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon.

Be s gardener.

Dig a ditch,

toil and sweat,

and turn the earth upside down

and seek the deepness

and water the plants in time. 

Continue this labor

and make sweet floods to run

and noble and abundant fruits

to spring.

Take this food and drink

and carry it to God

as your true worship.

TEST Tidbits.....

EARTH STEWARD ACTION: 

Plant a garden or a container of flowers. As you feel the soil on your hands and the sun on your face, thank God for the wonder of nature.
