Saturday October 8th - 3-9 p.m. "Come Autumn, Come All" - that's the cry going out for one and all to join Trinity's first Fall Food Truck Festival. A group of Trinity Youth Group Alumni are organizing this event, scheduled for Saturday, October 8, between 3:00-9:00 p.m. on the upper portion of the Trinity property. The event will begin with a sensory hour for children and youth desiring a quieter experience from 3-4 p.m. Food trucks will be available the entire time, as will music and various family friendly games and activities. Music starts at 5:00 p.m. For more information and to pre-purchase event tickets, check trinitysolebury.org/comeautum, or email comeautumn@trinitysolebury.org |
This year we are making Cookie Bake a little easier with an experiment called Cookie Bake Light: fewer working days, light dough only, a doable goal of 8,000-10,000 cookies and division of the leadership into four - Cinda Ball, Linda Kenyon, Lorri Perkins, and Beth Schermerhorn. We want to have fun, and we want you to have the most fun ever! We chose to work with light dough only because the dark dough is trickier to mix and harder to roll. We are also thinking of those with nut allergies. We will still be making your favorite shapes and plenty of almond rounds!
Questions? Contact Cinda Ball, Linda Kenyon, Lorri Perkins, Beth Schermerhorn. |
Looking for 8-12 volunteers to help split almonds that will be used in Cookie Bake. It is a one time commitment. Come to Cinda Ball's house (close to Trinity) and bring your favorite small knife. |
Watch it now at trinitysolebury.org/watch This past Sunday Trinity Forums returned after a 2-year hiatus with "Examining Our Hearts: Racial Awareness, Justice, and Healing" presented by Betty Stagg, Mary Miller, and Ann Koberna. Our presenters shared their moving stories of the impact of the Episcopal Church's film-based racial and social justice seminar series, "Sacred Ground." Following the presentation, a questionnaire was distributed to gather information on the preferences of our congregation for further study and personal experience with these crucial issues in our society and Christian communities. We will be hearing more in the coming months about plans for further offerings, and would love to hear from you: email your comments and ideas for future Trinity forums to mschuster@trinitysolebury.org. |

Economic Mobility in West Philadelphia
Session One: The Benefits Cliff
October 13, 2022
3:00PM – 4:30PM
The 'benefits cliff' occurs when people face a sudden loss in public benefits as their income increases. It is a persistent and often overlooked issue – but it is especially pressing now that we are facing the additional challenge of cliffs that occur as a result of the expiration of key COVID-19 relief measures.
Join ECS at the St. Barnabas Community Resource Center in West Philadelphia for an informative panel discussion featuring leading experts who will provide important insights and clear advocacy and action steps.

A Prayer for the Parish in the Time of Transition
Glorious and gracious God, you have blessed Trinity Church with a goodly heritage of worship, fellowship, and service. And you have inspired our pastoral leaders, over the years,to keep us faithful to the mission of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to each succeeding generation. For this we are thankful.
Now as we search for a new Rector, we seek your guidance and insight to help us discern whom you would have us call to be our companion, as together we go forward into the future of your advancing Kingdom. May that Priest be wise, compassionate, thoughtful, and filled with the Holy Spirit.
In the meantime, may we be strong and united in one common purpose, supporting and caring for one another and active with you in the fragile world around us.
All this we ask in the name of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Rev. John D. Bartle +
