Contact him at starryrobert@aol.com, or at 805-680- 5590, to request an electronic copy. Retiring after practicing for over 34 years as a clinical psychologist in the S.F.

with countless gifts of love STEWARDSHIP: Sharing our Stories and Blessings - Colleen Sterne Our annual Stewardship conversation is a practical necessity. Like any family, we need to budget and plan for our life together with a clear understanding of our financial revenue and expenses. We have to consider together how we will use our financial resources in the image of Christ to do the best for our church family, our community and the world. It is also a time to consider our other resources, how we will commit our time and energy to various ministries within the church to which we may be called; we need a shared understanding of how the practical work of our life together as a parish will get done. But there is much more to it than that. Stewardship is actually the very heart of our Christian faith. Our faith is nothing less than discernment of how we spend everything, not just funds, or hours, or skills but our hearts, and minds, and emotions, our joys and sorrows, our pride and fear to literally spend the very stuff of our lives in love and service. In this sense, how we spend our challenged selves, what we do with our anger and anguish can be as important as how we distribute the fruits of our labor and share our joys. When I came to Trinity in 1994, I was an ambitious young lawyer whose professional success had not brought me the satisfaction I d hoped. Although supported by a happy marriage and myriad good things, there was a big empty space the proverbial God-shaped hole in the middle of my being, and I was struggling to find a deeper meaning for my own life. What I found here was welcome beyond hope, support beyond my dreams, a deep well of caring, and irreplaceable friendship. Trinity shaped my priestly vocation, gave me courage to take my legal career in undreamed-of directions, and showed me a life of reciprocity in giving and receiving, an ebb and flow of offering and accepting support, and collective outreach into the world, that is the very definition of a life of meaning. Trinity also shaped how Christian faith found a way to take root in my marriage, in the heart-space that Jim and I share. Jim was Baptized at the Easter Vigil this year, an enormous blessing to us both. An engaged life of faith is one of continuous struggle. All of our personal challenges, the unsparing unpredictability of human life, our slights and squabbles- as we heard from Carren in her last sermon, we are the people who wrestle with God; who go toe to toe with Jesus in trying to figure out how to be the agents of God in the world. And in this place, we are free to have the hard discussions. Come, now, let us argue it out says the Lord. To continue in this conversation of continuous discernment with my sisters and brothers in this parish is an honor, a privilege and a saving grace. The question is not why Jim and I pledge. The question is, how could we not? WITH COUNTLESS GIFTS OF LOVE - FROM YOUR HEARTS TO OURS Many thanks to each of you who took the time to share your gratitude for gifts received here at Trinity. The gift cards are displayed throughout the sanctuary and are well worth a few moments to read. Here are a few samples of gifts from your hearts: Trinity refreshes my soul each Sunday, The vocabulary of abundance. Trinity is my true heart, and from a child, Friends and a place where I can be myself. If you did not have an opportunity to add your thoughts, cards will still be available this Sunday by the doors. UPCOMING STEWARDSHIP EVENTS FOR YOUR CALENDAR: TODAY after both services, join Christine McSpadden and her family for an interactive forum.

PSALM 149 REFRAIN Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song; sing praise to God in the congregation of the faithful. Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion be joyful in their Sovereign. Let them praise God s name in the dance; let them sing praise to the Lord with timbrel and harp. REFRAIN For the Lord takes pleasure in the chosen people and adorns the poor with victory. Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; let them be joyful on their beds. Let the praises of God be in their throat and a two-edged sword in their hand; REFRAIN To wreak vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples; To bind their rulers in chains and their nobles with links of iron; To inflict on them the judgment decreed; this is glory for all God s faithful people. Hallelujah!

Alleluia. (Anonymous; Salisbury Diurnal) COMMUNION ANTHEM TEXT O Spirit, who from Jesus came, The people of thy Church to bless, Our hearts adore thee, and proclaim The beauty of thy holiness. Upon thy faithful people shed Thy cooling peace, thy pardon kind, That we, by grace and mercy led, May serve thee with a quiet mind. With thee in calm, with thee in strife, We climb the path our Saviour trod, And build into our common life The true nobility of God. (John Wallace Suter, 1859-1942) 8
