Forum:
Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?
How should a Christian respond when they’re treated
unjustly? Please join us as we address these questions
and more as we continue with our Essential Bible Stories
Series with the story of Joseph and how God used him to
save all of the Jewish people. The forum will continue
through the summer.

RALLY DAY:
Sunday, September 14, is Rally Day, the day when
we recommit ourselves to mission and ministry
opportunities and remember anew the covenant we live out
as the Body of Christ in this parish. The “Ministry
Fair” will be a little different this year. There will
be a Missions & Social outreach Table, and a Pastoral
Care and Evangelism Table located in Gravely Hall and in
the narthex there will be sign up sheets for Church
Ministries Support (Altar Guild, Acolytes, etc.). There
are so many ministries, outreach and mission activities
at Trinity, and there’s a place for YOU in one of them.
Come and learn about all the great things that are
happening in our parish! There will only be one
Eucharist at 10:00 a.m. with Commissioning Service
of Ministry Team Leaders. Following the 10:00
Eucharist, all are invited to attend the Annual Indoor
Picnic and Dessert Contest. Please note there will be
no Formation Hour. The main course (fried chicken) will
be provided; those attending are asked to bring a side
dish and/or dessert to share. This year we will have 4
divisions in the dessert contest: cakes, pies, cookies
and others, and Youth (entries prepared by youth age 14
and below). On Rally Day, please place your entry in
the proper designated area in Gravely Hall along with
the name of the dessert written on a note card provided
(no preparers’ names please). There will be two adult
judges for each of the cake, pie, and cookies et al
divisions. There will be two youth judges for the Youth
division. 1st & 2nd place awards
will be given for each of the 4 divisions. An Overall
Grand Champion will be selected by all the judges from
the 1st place winners. Please have the Youth
entries prepared primarily by the youth themselves.
Contact Nancy Jarrett if you want to be a judge. This
year after lunch and the dessert contest, we will have a
pie eating contest outside along with games, a slide, a
bouncy, and a dunking tank for your enjoyment. The pie
eating contest is open to all ages and there is a $10
registration fee (deadline for registration and entry
fee is Friday, September 5). Don’t miss this very
important and fun day at Trinity and remember to wear
your shorts, yes even to church if you would like!!

FAITH ALIVE IS COMING TO TRINITY October 3-5:
Faith Alive is a weekend designed for the whole parish.
It is a time to gather together for fellowship, food,
music, laughter and people telling stories of God at
work in their lives. Our weekend will be led by a team
of Episcopalians who travel at their own expense. Some
will share their stories; some will guide our youth and
some will lead our music. Each will come to encourage
the growth of Christ’s love in our lives. The weekend
will begin Friday evening and end following Sunday
worship.

The Wednesday
morning Bible Study (Mary-Martha group) will resume
after Labor Day. Our first meeting will be September
3rd at 9:30am. We will be reading and discussing The
Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. In order to best
facilitate study of this popular work of fiction, it is
recommended that each participant read the book in it's
entirety, and then re-read as we go through our
discussions. To that end, copies of The Great
Divorce are available in The Bookstall for $11.00.
We do not currently have childcare available, but please
contact Amy Jordan if you may need a babysitter. We
always welcome new members, so please considering taking
up a Bible Study this fall.

Support Group will meet next on Friday, August 29.
The group is led by Stacey Fontaine, LMSW, of Liberty
HomeCare and Hospice, and is open to anyone experiencing
grief, whether the death was recent or several years
ago. Stacey is assisted by Dana Armstrong, Pastoral
Care Coordinator. If you have any questions, please
call Stacey at 907-4746 or Dana at 602-0794. We look

X Please
Wear Your Name Tags!: Trinity is blessed by
having beautiful name tags that have been cross-stitched
and laminated for long life. Indeed, they will last a
very long time if they just sit in the rack, never being
handled or pinned onto clothing! New members find it
very helpful to put names with faces, and visitors
welcome such an effort on their behalf. As Trinity
attracts more new families and individuals, it is most
important that all parishioners wear their nametags each
Sunday. If you have lost or misplaced your nametag,
please notify Elise Reed. Please…wear your nametag!
X
Men’s Bible Study:
A Bible study for men meets every Thursday at 7:45 a.m.
at Croissants (located at 38th and Grissom).
All men are welcome and encouraged to bring a friend!
The group is currently studying the Book of Galatians.
X Pastoral
Care at Trinity: It is of greatest importance
that you contact the church if you are ill or in the
hospital. Current privacy laws do not allow the
hospital to contact the clergy or to release names of
patients. The only way that the church will know of
your hospitalization is if you, or a friend or family
member, call the Parish Office to alert us. Thank you
for helping us help you.
