Alabama Prison Birth Project
Planning Thanksgiving and Christmas Meals
As we move into the season of gathering together for meals, please let us remember the mothers and babies served by the Alabama Prison Birth Project and continue to offer food that nourishes their bodies and spirits. Our Thanksgiving sign-up is nearly complete, but we would love to send one additional fall dessert on Nov. 20.
The Christmas meal will again feature a delicious Boston Butt smoked by our resident Men's Group and festive Christmas cookies decorated by EYC, but we need additional help cooking side dishes. We also are in need of three bags of powdered sugar by Dec. 1 to fuel the sugar cookie frosting. If you can help provide any of these items, please click here to sign up.

About 75 people (not counting pets) came to Holy Trinity Sunday, Oct. 6, for the annual Blessing of the Animals on the church lawn. The service, led by the EYC, was beautiful and so was the weather. After the service and general blessing, all creatures great and small lined up for their individual blessings and laying of hands from Father Pete.

Big Crowd for Parish Picnic Aug. 18
Fun, Food, Fellowship … and a Farewell
They came in droves—the young, the old, the veterans and the newcomers—more than 150 festive souls gathered on Sunday afternoon for the first parish-wide fellowship event of the new season. With temps near 100 degrees, it might not seem like a new year, but in a college town the academic calendar dictates our new beginnings. Everyone was thrilled to reconnect and catch up with one another after another long, hot summer.
The Men's Group barbecued chicken, the fellowship committee put together all of the fixin's—watermelon, pasta salad, deviled eggs, fruit salad and so much more! Rev. Clare even made several bowls of a delicious Korean dish called Japchae, made with sweet potato noodles. Lots of ice-cold libations and sno-cones helped cool down the crowd, before a mighty thunderstorm forced everyone inside briefly.
There was a slight pause in the jubilance, as Father Pete offered remarks and we all bade farewell to Father Mike, who is heading to his new post as rector of St. Michael and All Angels' Episcopal Church in Millbrook, Ala. If you didn't catch Mike's final words to the parish, click here to watch.
