Parish Life Report

Although remaining mindful of the continuing risks of Covid-19, 2022 was a year in which the world largely got back to “business as usual”… and so did parish life at Trinity!

We had a full year of fellowship, food, and fun. The much missed summer cookout’s made a welcome return, beginning with a cook-out and grill at the Council Ring, following an earlier “Sanctuary” service at the Outdoor Sanctuary, and we welcomed around 220 people! The cookouts continued (and added barbeque) at the culmination of VBS, and on Ministry Fair Sunday, in the Bishop’s Garden.

Regular Coffee Hours once again became a feature of the calendar here, and it was especially heartening to see lots of new members stepping up and hosting some wonderful occasions. We are truly very grateful to you all. These are important times to get to know one another, as well as catch up and check-in with friends and neighbors.

Other food-centered occasions included a Pancake Supper, Ash Wednesday Soup Lunch, a Remembrance Dinner on Maundy Thursday, hot-cross buns on Good Friday, ghoulish treats at the Halloween Party, and a Christmas Coffee Hour Party at Trinity Thrift & Boutique. The Piedmont Child Care Center once again did an amazing job in catering for a capacity crowd at the Christmas Party, Raise the Paddle, & Live Auction. Thank you to everyone who has shared their culinary skills so wonderfully; to those who’ve shared their gift of hospitality and welcome; and to everyone who comes along to be part of these great Trinity family occasions.
