You are invited to come for yourself as well as bring the names of others for whom you want prayer and for the incidents and events in our world for which you are concerned.

BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION
Baptism is the once in a lifetime moment in which a Christian is re-born, and adopted into God’s family. He or she professes their faith in Jesus, and if they are still a baby their Godparents make that profession on their behalf. We Baptize people of all ages in water—a small amount or a large amount!
Confirmation is the moment in which somebody who is a young adult (or older adult) joins our Episcopal denomination—after learning about our particular traditions and beliefs. It takes a Bishop to be Confirmed, and this happens at Trinity, Galveston twice a year.
Bishop Jeff Fisher will be here on Sunday, October 27, for Baptism and Confirmation. If you want to take this step, email or call Rev. Susan. We would love to welcome you!! (409)765-6317
[email protected]
Confirmation class will be held October 12— all day Saturday session.

On Thursday, December 12, we will ride into Houston together for a live performance of Handel's Messiah at 8:00 p.m. at the Christ Evangelical Presbyterian Church!

Mike Nemec is a first-year medical student from Columbia, Missouri, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business finance from Oklahoma State University. He said he chose to attend medical school at UTMB because of its supportive, less pressured atmosphere, and he said he also likes Galveston because of its “Island Vibe,” a more relaxed and small-town feel. “It’s a cool town,” he says, “I enjoy the beach, I fish a little, and I like the local restaurants (especially fresh seafood). I can ride my bike to school and can get just about anywhere in just a few minutes.”
He and his wife, Brenna, moved to the Island over the summer. She is a special education teacher at Morgan Elementary.
While many medical students earn undergraduate degrees in a biological science, he chose business finance because of his interest in business, and because he felt it would be good experience for the future. While not certain what specialty he will pursue as a physician, he likes talking with people and working with his hands, which might lead toward surgery as a career.
He said he has always been interested in medicine and had a good role model in his hometown who inspired him. “I like the human relational aspects of medicine. People put their trust in you, even though you may not know them well.”
Religion is an important part of his life, and he was involved in student ministries at Oklahoma State.
He began participating in Willie T’s at the suggestion of a physical therapy student he knew in college, and he enjoys the study room, the friendships and relationships Willie T’s helps him develop. “It’s the best place in town to study,” he says, “and I like the food!”
He appreciates how Trinity parishioners support him and other Willie T’s students: “That’s what churches should be all about,” he said.

Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence.
