At Trinity Episcopal Church, that celebration will take the type of particular after-supper programming on the seven Wednesdays throughout this season.
The established Wednesday routine at Trinity begins at 4:30 p.m. with a small Centering Prayer group led by the Rev. Geoff Butcher upstairs in Kuehnle Corridor, adopted at 5:30 p.m. by Holy Eucharist and therapeutic within the church, celebrated by the rector, the Rev. Ken Ritter. Supper then follows again in Kuenhle Corridor about 6 p.m.
The Eastertide programming will instantly comply with supper, round 6:40 p.m., and final about an hour.
The one change to that schedule will likely be on the third Wednesdays of April and Might (April 19 and Might 17) when John Ball organizes a extra informal 5:30 p.m. eucharist service with up to date music in Kuehnle Corridor. Supper and programming then comply with as traditional.
On April 19, we could have Mindi DeLancey with us to speak in regards to the Educate Them to Fish microindustries ministry in Honduras. On Might 17, Eileen Ball will lead the group in making Anglican prayer beads.
To kick off the season, on the Wednesday of Easter week, April 12, our personal Dr. Edward L. Bond, retired professor of US Historical past from Alabama A&M College, will current “Lodging with Violence: The Founding of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi and Slavery,” a chat which presents perception into the founding of the Episcopal church in Mississippi and the way that intersected with the expansion of slavery. The subject ties in nicely with the racial reconciliation focus of The Beloved Neighborhood initiative inside our Mississippi diocese by laying the mandatory basis of truth-telling.
On April 26 and Might 3, we’ll welcome again to Natchez as a brand new resident somebody who isn’t any stranger to the city since she grew up right here: Mary Foster Parmer. She’s going to current materials from her internationally acclaimed ministry: Invite, Welcome, Join — with help from the Rev. Tommy Dillon, rector of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Baton Rouge.
The after-supper programming on Might 10 will present an introduction to a few organizations inside the Episcopal church that present non secular development and growth, in addition to service alternatives, particularly to males (the Brotherhood of St. Andrew) and to ladies (the Daughters of the King).
Might 24 will present an open discussion board for dialogue of how all of us transfer ahead as a Christian group.
Suppers will likely be supplied by groups of parishioners every week and are supplied freed from cost. All are welcome! Come be part of us at Trinity for our 2023 Eastertide Celebration! Hallelujah – Christ is Risen!
