A Note from the Worship Council Alleluia, Christ is risen! We continue proclaiming these opening words through the 50 days of Easter, sometimes called Eastertide, which ends on the day of Pentecost. You will notice a couple of changes in our worship services during this season. To follow up on our Lenten program Leaning Outward toward Community, and as a way of emphasizing the stewardship of time and talent, we will have members from the congregation speak very briefly on Sundays about how they put their faith into action. This practice called Minute for Mission aspires to help each of us think about how what we say and claim in worship gets put into practice in our daily lives. We are adding a final blessing of the people near the end of the service--a final benediction that fortifies us to go out to serve in the world. And we are now doing the Dismissal nearer the font, following the closing hymn, emphasizing our ministries rooted in baptism and that we are a people gathered and sent in Christ s name.

HEALING TOUCH SPIRITUAL MINISTRY (HTSM) AT TRINITY 2nd Sunday of the month in the Chapel, right after the 10am service HTSM is a sacred healing art that flows from Christian tradition since the time of the ancient church. Its practitioners recognize that the source of all healing is God. In the laying-on of hands, there is a flow of God s healing grace to the person who is receiving. Growing out of the nursing-based Healing Touch program, HTSM uses prayer, gentle touch, and healing essential oils. HTSM is found in churches, retreat centers, hospitals, hospices, and other settings as spiritual healing with roots in our Judeo-Christian heritage. If you would like a visit from a Trinity Healing Touch Spiritual Minister, you may contact Nina Zimmer, or nddz@aol.com TRINITY BACKSTAGE PRESENTS THE HARMONY ALL STARS Saturday, June 10, 8pm One of our most popular shows, The Harmony All Stars is a performance in the round with some of Trinity s favorite singer/songwriters.

3 Dear Members and Friends of Trinity, take note As of April 30, I will be taking a pastoral leave to be with my family during a time of crisis. I have been consulting with Bishop Diane Bruce and she has recommended that I take a month leave. While I am away, Claude Garciacelay, our Senior Warden, will be in charge and the Rev. Laurel Johnston will be clergy in charge. I will be working on some projects remotely from San Francisco but will need to reschedule meetings and other obligations. Claude, Laurel and I will be in constant contact keeping our wonderful life together humming. I am grateful and buoyed by the unflagging support of the Vestry and for the prayers, concern and support of this incredible community. In the Eastertide hope of the resurrection, Christine+ The Rev.

TRINITY READS Adult Formation s recommended follow-up book to our Lenten series is America s Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America by Jim Wallis, forward by Brian Stevenson. Jim Wallis, the nation s preeminent evangelical prophetic teacher and preacher, sends a tough love letter to America, demanding and daring the church not only to repent of the original sin of racism but to join the fight against all forms of racial injustice. I encourage everyone who is concerned about our democracy and who desires to see the church live out its true mission of love and justice to read this prophetic epistle.

The Episcopal shield brings together some of the Church s history, and offers a brief history lesson through its design. The Red Cross on the White Field is the Cross of St. George (the Patron Saint of England), which points to our historical roots in the Church of England and ties to the Anglican Communion. The blue quadrant includes nine small crosses which symbolize the nine original American Dioceses that met in Philadelphia in 1789 to adopt the constitution of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. The crosslets are formed as an x-shaped cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, in tribute to the Scottish Church s role in ordaining the first American Bishop, Samuel Seabury, in The colors red, white and blue symbolize (red) the sacrifice of Christ and Christian Martyrs, (white) the purity of the Christian Faith and (blue) the humanity of Christ received from the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as the colors of the American flag. 6
