Conversatio presented by The morning reflection will be an exploration of the Latin word conversatio using the opening words of the Rule of St. Benedict, Listen carefully… listen with the ear of your heart, and developing conversatio through four meditations: Conversation, Conversion, Communion, and Community. We shall see how the very circumstances of your life can teach you the importance of listening intently in the present moment with the ear of the heart, leading you to a dynamic turning and being turned, and entering into the mystical communion with God and one another. Our time together invites you: -To enter into the still, small voice within you, the voice of God -To be still and still moving – experiencing God’s spirit and your spirit as one -To listen with the inner ear of the heart -To “find a truth which is true for you” [Soren Kierkegaard] -To be open to the “thin places” in your lives – places where God breaks through more easily into the human consciousness. Ginny has blessed us with Advent and Lenten reflections for the past 20 years but this will be her last since she will be retiring on May 21, 2023. Please don't miss this very special morning with Ginny. |

At Trinity, we are self-motivated Christians, eager to share and impatient to see God's love and justice spread throughout our world.
Please take the time to learn about us by reviewing our website www.trinitysolebury.org, our New Rector Search page trinitysolebury.org/newcalling, which contains our parish profile, and our position description.
Interested applicants should send cover letter, resume, and OTM profile to Canon Arlette Benoit Joseph at abenoitjoseph@diopa.org.
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 +
