Holy Trinity

@ The Food Bank Of Lincoln

Holy Trinity will again help with the

Summer Backpack Program at the Lincoln Food

Bank. As in the past, the summer program begins in

June and finishes up the second week of August. This

is your chance to make a real difference for hungry

children in Lincoln. Join Holy Trinity’s team of

volunteers assembling backpacks of food for

distribution to food insecure students from the

Lincoln Public Schools. We can make a difference in

the lives of Lincoln families…. And it is super fun as

well. There is a sign-up sheet on the table in the

foyer. ~~Thank you!!–Community Ministry

Trinity Sunday Picnic June 11

Join us for the summer celebration of our patron feast

day, Holy Trinity Sunday. We will convene after the

10:30 service on the south lawn for our annual picnic.

Hot dogs will be provided. Bring a chair, a dish to

share and a friend!

Altar Flowers for the Summer

If you wish to celebrate a special

occasion or remember loved ones with

flowers for the altar, several dates are

available in June, July and August.

Although the church incurs a cost of

$75 each week for altar flowers, you

are welcome to give any amount with

which you are comfortable. If you are interested,

please call Nancy Stara, 402-489-0739 for more

information.

THIS WEEK! June 4 at 4 p.m.

At Vega in the Haymarket

Bell-issimo, Lincoln's Community

Handbell Choir directed by Nancy

Youngman, will present a concert

at Vega, 350 Canopy Street in the

Haymarket.

Come on down for a free concert, featuring

music from Glenn Miller, to the Beach Boys, to

Coldplay. This concert will feature instrumentalists

as well as the ringers and will be a fun family

afternoon. There will be food and drink available for

purchase. We hope all will come to support the work

of this outstanding group.

Reconvening on June 15th at 6 pm in the church

During Lent we started a centering prayer group. We

met weekly to pray in silence together, and to explore

what centering prayer meant to us. We agreed to

reconvene after Lent on a monthly basis. This is your

invitation to join us in prayer and conversation. We

will meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 6 pm in

the sanctuary. Everyone is invited, whether you are just

exploring this type of prayer, or new to it, as well as

regular practitioners. Questions-please talk with Rev.

Susanna.

During the summer, our newsletter will change to this

format. You will receive it monthly as usual. We are

able to update it weekly as needed, and will have it

available at church with your bulletins. You can

always check the website calendar for a full list of

events coming up.

Holy Trinity Book Store Review

The Weight of Glory

by C. S. Lewis

reissued by Harper One $13.99

Here is a collection of addresses

delivered by C. S. Lewis during the

complex and difficult years of

World War II. Known as one of

the best Christian writers of the 20th century, his

sermon entitled “The Weight of Glory” is considered

to be one of his most profound, extolling compassion

and hope, faith, forgiveness, and Christian virtue.

You Can’t Touch My Hair by Phoebe Robinson

From Amazon: Being a black woman in America

means contending with old prejudices and fresh

absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has

experienced her fair share over the years: she's been

unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black

friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things

racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and

Billy Joel ("isn’t that . . . white people music?"); she's

been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the

workplace; she's been followed around stores by

security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether

they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready

to take these topics to the page—and she’s going to

make you laugh as she’s doing it. Please note change

in day of the week.

Dinner & a Movie:

Friday June 23rd

6pm in the Parish Hall

Movie of the night-

Lion Our first movie of this summer series is

Lion. Based on the true story of a young

Indian boy adopted by Australian parents, it traces the

life story as he recovers his past and how he ended up a

continent away from his mother. We will have our

Holy Spirit potluck before we watch the movie. Bring

whatever you want to, and consider bringing a

comfortable chair for the viewing.

Next movie & date: Loving on Friday, July 14th

Coffee Break

Tuesday, June 13th, 2:30pm.

Come and join St. Elizabeth Guild for

a visiting time with coffee, tea and

dessert. Men and women of all ages are invited to

attend. Sally Bates and Kathy Jacobson are the

afternoon’s hostesses.

Mary Ann and I wish to thank you

for the cards and best wishes for

our 70th wedding anniversary. We

especially appreciate the brief but

so meaningful part of the service

and blessing by Rev. Susanna. 37% of our married

life has been nourished at this altar with you.
