Our Parish Meeting on May 4 was a time of open, honest discussion regarding the lack of accessibility to our facilities, including the bathrooms. The vestry shared their plan to tackle this complicated problem, which was outlined in a letter sent to the congregation. At the meeting attendees were invited to write their thoughts and, if they chose, to volunteer to help with the ongoing discernment of this huge project.

O good and gracious God, from the beginning you have guided Your People like a Good Shepherd; we ask you to guide our congregation as we explore if and how, as part of your call to mission, You might want us to make our Parish more physically accessible to welcome and serve people in our congregation and in our community. Help us to resist the temptations to either be paralyzed by fear or to race ahead without Your clear guidance. Give us the clarity we need and the courage to follow the guidance you give us through the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
This prayer was written by Bishop Gordon to help us as we consider this most ambitious 2025 Goal.
Please pray for Trinity
