Summer 2018 at Trinity

Trinity Anglican Church is located in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and many of our parishioners have "camps" at one lake or another. Summer at Trinity is typically quiet, with fewer programs running as people go away on vacation and enjoy their camps. But that does not mean that nothing is happening. Quite the opposite. 

One May 6th we had a Cinco De Mayo Party with Taco's and a pinata. later on in June we had Geskus Photography come and take photos for our new directory. 

We were poised to have a welcome service for our new members, but several events had us moving that date back. 

Through May and June we had plenty of meetings to make things happen.  A group met as a task force to discuss remodeling the Reredos (the area at and around the altar) for part of our 25th jubilee. We have presented a design to the vestry for a vote. We will move towards an English gothic style and it will be beautiful!  We also started a task force to explore what it would take to start a Christian School. We believe that instilling our children with a classical Christian education will equip them for the world they will grow up in.

At the end of June Fr. Matt took a vacation. He rode his motorcycle to Nova Scotia and Cape Bretton Island and enjoyed the camping and winding roads for a week. Fr. Matt is an avid motorcyclist and likes to get away on the bike for fun and refreshment.

Of course there are the more typical things that always happen, despite the time of year - baptisms and funerals.  While we have had more funerals that we wish this year we were overjoyed to baptize the Mastrella girls. 

Now we are preparing for St. Luke's camp, which Fr. Mirabile directs each year. This year it will be at Beavers Crossing in Greenwich NY. This camp will run from August 5th through the 11th. This is always a lot of fun and this year the camp is better than ever!

As we move into August we are also preparing to get into full swing again come September. We are meeting with the Sunday School mothers to plan for the next Sunday School program.  We want to ensure that the classes are fun, engaging, and meaningful for the children without becoming burdensome to the parents.  We want our mom's to get a break and not have to take care of kids again on Sundays. Fortunately we have enough help to rotate the schedule.

At this time of year we also gear up for Reboot Combat Recovery. This year we will begin on September 6th and run through Nov. 29th. We look forward to this as we always make new friends and get to watch God move in people's lives in exciting and liberating ways. It is truly and awesome privilege.
