January Good Newsletter 2016 - Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
As many of you know, we are striving to begin music ministry programs for our
children and/or youth at Holy Trinity. Being that this opportunity has not been available
for some time, it will take some effort before we know what we have the interest and
capability to sustain. To that end, I write to inform you of three options for children’s/youth
music ministry at Holy Trinity.
Older Children’s Choir (2nd – 5th
graders):
Growing in Grace curriculum by
Choristers Guild
Rehearsal dates:
Wednesdays January 6 – May 4
4:30-5:30 pm
Worship participation dates:
February 14
March 20 (Palm Sunday)
May 8 (Mother’s Day)
Young Children’s Choir Seminars
(Age 4 to 1st graders):
Seminar I
Rehearsal dates: Wednesdays February
24 and March 2, 9, 16 from 4:15-4:45
pm
Worship Participation: March 20 (Palm
Sunday)
Seminar II
Rehearsal dates: Wednesdays April 13,
20, 27 and May 4 from 4:15-4:45 pm
Worship Participation: May 8 (Mother’s
Day)
Youth Choir Festival Experience (6th – 12th graders):
Segue Youth Choir Festival at Campbell University - Mass youth choir experience
DATE:
Saturday, February 27
FEES:
Registration fee $25
DEADLINE: Registration deadline: December 30Registration fee $25
Kick-off retreat and preparation rehearsals will be set based upon participants’
schedules
If you are interested in any of these opportunities for your youth/child, please contact me
(rector@holytrinityfay.org) or Donna (threesajoy@aol.com) and/or fill out the registration
form in this Newsletter as soon as possible. Please share this information with others. A
personal invitation is the most effective way to reach out!
Faithfully, Jeff+
The Bishop is coming Sunday, February 7, 2016
Would you like to be Confirmed, Received or Reaffirmed?
The sacrament of confirmation is the opportunity for individuals already baptized
(in an Episcopal Church or in another Christian denomination) to make a mature, public
affirmation of their baptismal vows and receive the laying on of hands by our bishop. Any
members of Holy Trinity who have not yet been confirmed, and who will turn 16 years of
age by the end of 2016 will be eligible for this sacrament.
Reception will be offered for any individuals who have been confirmed in another
Christian denomination, but who would like to reaffirm their baptism vows and be received
into the Episcopal Church by the laying on of hands by our bishop. I have spoken to
several members of Holy Trinity, new and seasoned, for which this option might apply.
This is the manner in which one would officially become “Episcopalian.”
Reaffirmation is open to anyone who has previously been confirmed (or received)
as an Episcopalian, yet desires to publically reaffirm their baptismal vows and receive the
laying on of hands by our bishop. The opportunity for reaffirmation is open to anyone,
and I have personally experienced how helpful it can be for one’s journey of faith.
Therefore, if your journey of faith at present is such that you desire this experience, I invite
you to be reaffirmed on Sunday, February 7th.
The preparation for Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation will essentially be
the same. I will be offering four classes leading up to the bishop’s visit: Tuesdays,
January 12th, 19th, 26th and February 2nd from 6-8pm at the Church in the library or
sanctuary. These classes will delve more deeply into what it means to be an Episcopalian
in preparation for Bishop Rob’s visit on February 7th.
In addition to participants in the class, I would like to find others who might pray
with and offer hospitality for the individuals in this class. Whatever your current spiritual
practice and theological foundation, I invite you to prayerfully consider participating in one
of these three opportunities. If you are interested in being a part of these classes, I ask
that you email me (rector@holytrinityfay.org) before January 5, 2016.
