Trinity's Genesis II Team - Message from the Rector
Our Genesis II Team is off and running! We are meeting on the first and third Sunday afternoons with parishes across the Episcopal Church with leaders from the Presiding Bishop’s staff. We are getting to know sisters and brothers in faith from North Carolina, California, Maryland, Virginia … and we see already that many churches face similar possibilities and challenges.
We invite your prayers as we begin our ministry, learning and practicing the spiritual arts of invitation and welcome in our own neighborhoods. Trinity’s engagement in this ‘practicing community’ comes at a perfect time – as we begin to emerge from pandemic and return to our communal life. (continue reading)

Resource from Stephen Ministry
The Stephen Ministry Team at Trinity was privileged to conduct a Zoom meeting on Caring for Ourselves and Others in Times of Anxiety & Pandemic
For the benefit of the parishioners who were not able to attend, we have attached the handout package (see .pdf) for your reference. The subject matter is appropriately framed in a spiritual context and highlights answers to these questions:
· Where do we find God in these disastrous times?
· What are the emotional triggers of anxiety and stress?
· How can we avoid “emotional hijacking?” and “catastrophizing”?
· How to turn the simple act of breathing into a prayer?
This package is intended to offer strength and healing and to deepen our connections with one another in our life in Christ together. We hope you will find it meaningful and helpful to you and to others whom you care about in this time of challenge for us all.
