ECW Sound Bath
Sunday, Jan. 12 at 3 pm
Welcome to 2025! The ECW is hosting a relaxing and refreshing Sound Bath at its next gathering this Sunday, Jan. 12, at 3 pm, in the Holy Trinity undercroft.
Please arrive early, and plan to stay until the end of the Sound Bath (about 50 minutes). Late arrivals and early departures are a bit disruptive to the other participants, according to our facilitator, Katie Martin. Afterward, there will be another 30-40 minutes for enjoying light refreshments and conversation.
When: Sunday, Jan. 12, 3–4:30 pm
(Please plan to arrive by 2:50 pm to get settled in your spot.)
Where: Holy Trinity Undercroft/ Youth Room
What to Bring: A yoga mat, if you have one, and a blanket, if you tend to get cold! (If you do not have a mat, we will have extra mats and blankets.)
What to Wear: Comfy clothes, and plan to take shoes off
What is a Sound Bath? "Though a sound bath may seem like a 'new age' concept, the practice of healing bodies through sound is technically thousands of years old with deep roots in cultures across the world. It is a meditative experience where those in attendance are 'bathed' in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks and even the human voice itself....This 'spiritual, cleansing music' varies according to place and culture...The music doesn’t have a catchy melody or rhythm...Instead, it's a carefully selected wash of instrument and voice with notable resonance and overtones."

Annual Altar Guild Luncheon
Sunday, Jan. 26, Noon–2pm
The Holy Trinity Altar Guild will hold its annual luncheon in the Parish Hall on Sunday, Jan. 26 at noon. The parish relies greatly on this group of devoted servants, who never fail to have our worship space in pristine condition for each service. Much of the work of the Altar Guild happens quietly behind the scenes—from preparing the bread and wine, sacred vessels and candlesticks, to maintaining the linens, vestments and hangings and changing them seasonally or to accommodate special pastoral events.
Many thanks to Kathy Friedenreich, for her leadership of the guild. This year the co-chairs will be Wendy Morgan and Missy Hill, so contact them if you are interested in joining up.

2024 Christmas Pageant
Parishioners were treated to a fabulous reenactment of the story of Christ’s birth at the 3 pm service on Christmas Eve. The full cast gave an enormous performance, and everyone played their roles perfectly.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this a success, especially Emily von Gal.
News from the Annual Parish Meeting
Holy Trinity’s 2024 Annual Parish Meeting began immediately following the 9 am service on Sunday, Dec. 8, with a prayer from Father Pete. Senior Warden Karen Porter led off by thanking all parishioners for their support of our many ministries and events over the past year and for their stewardship. Parish Financial Administrator Tracy Handler gave the financial report, which included an aspirational 2025 budget of $1.23 million.
Father Pete gave his annual report—declaring that the state of the Parish is robust! He remarked that—while people may believe that involvement in organized religion is waning—Holy Trinity’s attendance has increased 9 percent since last year. We have also filled key staff positions, dramatically expanding Youth & Young Adult Formation, as well as Communications efforts. He recognized the staff for its vital work. He recognized Rev. Clare Seales for her help, even after official retirement, in the absence of an assistant rector. Father Pete said that he is actively involved in the search for our new assistant rector and has already interviewed several candidates. He is also working to strengthen the relationship between the Day School and the wider parish, with the help of new director Gillianne Jones. He thanked the many lay leaders for their faithful work, and finally thanked the current Vestry for their service and leadership.
There was a brief question & answer period, before Father Pete introduced the candidates for Vestry. The new voting procedure allows parishioners to vote over an entire week, so anyone wishing to vote may do so until noon on Sunday, Dec. 15. The meeting was adjourned for voting to begin.
