Adult Formation Starts New Series
Coffee and Conversation
The Parish Hall — 10 am
Adult Formation will begin a new series at 10 am this Sunday, Jan. 26. For our spring offering, we will gather for coffee and conversation around the book, Seculosity: How Career, Parenting, Technology, Food, Politics, and Romance Became Our New Religion and What To Do About It. As the title suggests, Seculosity, unpacks the ways that the secular components of our lives can crowd out and even take the place of the sacred.
Work, relationships, parenting, technology—any of these facets of our lives can become “unintended replacement religions,” and it takes intentionality and commitment to recenter ourselves in God’s grace. Each week we will read a chapter of the book and come together on Sunday to discuss how these forces are at work in our own lives and the all-important question—what to do about it?
Author David Zahl is an Episcopal lay minister in Charlottesville, Va., and founder of Mockingbird Ministries, “an organization devoted to ‘connecting the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life.’” Seculosity is available in paperback, hardback, digital and audio formats and is available for purchase by clicking here, or by pressing the button below. There is no need to sign-up for the class ahead of time.
See you there!
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.
