Parish Life

Dear Fellow Parishioners, Wow!  It is already 2012!  We had a great fall.  It was a nice, sunny day when we went apple picking and then we had super yummy apple desserts.  The kids also enjoyed a fun Halloween party.   And I am hopeful we will make it sledding this year since we now have some snow.  We will have a Parish Life Committee meeting on January 29th and plan a sledding trip for February.  All are welcome.  Any other ideas would be great.  I would love to help plan stuff that everyone would like to do.  Please contact me with any ideas or suggestions. 

Thanks,

Beth 

Trinity Anglican Church Mission Statement

A Parish of Christian Men, Women and Children who worship God Almighty in the Trinity of The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost. We worship God in the manner of the Apostles of Jesus Christ  - “And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” [The Acts of the Apostles 2:42] We gather on Sundays and Special Feast Days of the Universal Church for the Sacrament of Holy Communion as our principal form of Worship and in accordance to the Ancient Customs of the Church in Britain. We are convinced that the best expression of this Faith and Practice are found in the Book of Common Prayer when it was revised in this country in the Year of our Lord, 1928.  

In addition to the Service of Holy Communion, Trinity Anglican Church utilizes the Services of Morning and Evening Prayer and other Sacramental Offices to enhance the prayer life of the Parish.  

We at Trinity Anglican Church also believe that knowledge of our Traditions and Customs as well as the Theology and History of the Church  are integral to maintaining the Christian Faith – “ … and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” [The Epistle of St. Jude 1:3] We offer at various times during the year education programs, and for children, Sunday School.  

By so doing, we endeavor to fulfill our mission:   TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND TO MAKE CHRIST KNOWN 


Stewardship of Time

How can you share your gifts with the Church?
Do you feel that you have a gift for teaching?
Do you feel that you have “zeal for the House of the Lord?”
Do you feel that you have time to serve God in the community?
Do you feel that you have the gift to visit the sick or the homebound?
Do you feel you can best serve God by praying for others, but you just don’t know for whom to pray?
Do you feel that God has given you so much and you are not sure how to give back?
These are questions which often come up as we contemplate the great gift that God gave of Himself for us in this Christmas season. We should be truly touched and moved when we see the Holy Family in those meager surroundings, how God humbled Himself to be born of a Virgin.
If this is the case, maybe we should ask God, “Lord, what would you have me do to serve You?”
