Summer School for Outreach

This summer join us for a look at how scripture and action work together to accomplish the mission of Christ's church in the world. We will hear about the work of Old Man Rivers, the Red Cross, the Good Samaritan Clinic, Habitat for Humanity, Trinity's ministry of Hospitality, and our call to be part of GEM, a wonderful ministry of mission to the world beyond our borders. For two Sundays each in June, July, and August, we will gather at 9:00 am for scripture direction, to hear how our church is taking part in these ministries and to prepare a special gift for these programs. On June 20 children and adults are invited to learn about the Ministry of Hospitality. Scripture which directs us will be discussed, we will learn about how Trinity participates in this ministry and we will bake muffins to offer our fathers and those who love them.

On June 27 all are invited to learn about the ministry of Habitat for Humanity. Come and learn about scripture, listen to a Habitat Homeowner's story and help prepare food for Habitat workers. Summer School for Outreach will continue on July 18 and 25 and August 15 and 22. Stay tuned for more information!

Have You Seen the House?

Trinity's women volunteers to the Women Raise the Roof project of Habitat for Humanity hope you have been driving by the Candy Schoonover home located at the corner of 17th and Covert Streets. The roof is on, the doors and windows have been installed and the white siding is on. Did you know that this home is being constructed on land given by the Gerwig Family Trust? That St. Anne's Guild is providing the floor coverings? That Judith and Julie Rathbone donated and delivered the plumbing supplies? To see the women builders in action, choose Tuesday or Thursday evenings between 5-8 pm or Friday and Saturdays between 8 am and 5 pm. Take Market Street to 17th Street. Turn east on 17th and go three blocks to the corner of Covert Street. You can't miss the big pink sign and the large orange supplies trailer (thanks Craig Curry!).

Habitat link

Presiding Bishop’s Fund: It was reported in the June issue of LOGOS (the Bishop’s Newsletter) that the Diocese of West Virginia has sent contributions to the Presiding Bishop’s Fund Designated for as follows: Assistance to Kosovo refugees, assistance to Honduras hurricane relief and assistance to Oklahoma tornado relief. The total amount sent for the above relief efforts was in excess of $10,000. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of members of the congregations of our Diocese. Offerings collected at the Diocesan Convention were included in the contributions .

Deanery Meets, Elects Representatives

The Ohio Valley Deanery meet on Sunday, May 30th at Grace Church, St. Mary’s, WV. (What great hospitality they provide us!) The purpose of the meeting was to elect 2 clergy and 2 lay representatives to be placed by the Standing Committee of either the Episcopal Search Committee or the Committee on the Transition of the Episcopate. Elected were: Mr. Jerry Edward Shaw (Good Shepherd) and Mr. Hampden V. Fitcher (Trinity) as lay representatives. The Rev’d Jack Neilson (Ohio Valley Cluster) and the Rev’d Scott Hunter (Trinity).

When committee assignments are actually made, we will let you know.

Many thanks to all who offered themselves to serve — especially Betty Rodda from Trinity.

Many thanks go out to our choir for providing us with their beautiful voices and music throughout the last year. Last Sunday was the last Sunday for the choir to sing as a group until this fall. Although many choir members were out of town last weekend and the choir was small in number, they were still strong of voice and a solo by Laverne Marshall was enjoyed during Offertory . Many thanks also to choir master and organist Arlene Wetzel for her continued contributions to our music program.

Please hold these people, events and circumstances in your daily prayers. Also, we encourage you to always say a prayer for those unknown persons who have no one to pray for them. By-the-way, please remember to renew prayer requests weekly.
