What Camp is About This Year

Dear Trinity,

Each one of us has room to grow in becoming a good listener.

There’s so much noise—so many distractions—in our world today. At a baseline, it’s difficult to even position ourselves to listen well. Then once we’ve made it into a conversation, we struggle to be truly present.

How do we listen to each other and to God in ways that lead us into a fruitful life? How do we do this in the face of fear, disintegration, confusion and difference?

That’s what we’re going to explore at Church Camp. Take a look at our weekend schedule below and consider coming away with us as we learn how to listen better. During the course of the weekend, there will be plenty of time to enjoy nature, extended conversations, and shared meals.

In three days (July 13), our early bird special ends. You can get 10% off the full price by using the code EARLYBIRD.

This Sunday, Nicole and I will walk you through the weekend. In the meantime, if you have questions about anything, let us know by simply replying to this email.

Are you considering being baptized, or having someone in your family baptized? Please let us know by filling out this form. A three-week baptism class will be held at the church on August 20, August 27 & Sept 3 from 7-8:30pm.

This summer, we will learn Psalm 23 over our four Sundays together. We will see how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, cares for us in the sheepfold, leads us to green pastures, to still waters and through dark and dangerous places. Each Sunday, a member of our congregation will present a personal story in Godly Play style about how Jesus was with them during a time in their life. There will also be crafts, music and prayer stations.

The current prayer team, along with anyone who would like more information and might be open to trying out the prayer team, are invited to a 30 minute meeting after service on July 13th. We will meet in the staff office around 10:30 with Pastor Matt and Linda Congdon (leader of the team) to talk about  how to listen well and pray for people as they come with a desire to be met in prayer. If you have questions please contact Linda at 509-415-5914.

Trinity Church - Evensong finished its fourth season at the beginning of June. Can you believe it? In the summer of 2021 (pictured above), Julie Canlis and I dreamed up a way to bring contemplative, sung liturgy and the traditional evening service to our parish. It's been a joy to share that music with you each month since. While it's always been a small ensemble, we started with just eight singers, it's become clear that in order to return with a fifth season in the fall, we need more voices! If you are a musical woman (high school or adult) and can commit to a monthly rehearsal & service Sept-June, please let me know ASAP! email: hannahmontzingo@gmail.com or phone: 206-354-2947
