a season of prayer for revival
Presiding Bishop Curry invites us to mark the season after Pentecost with 30 days of prayer leading up to and encompassing the 80th General Convention in Baltimore, Maryland. A Season of Prayer for Revival—from June 12 through July 11—will feature daily prayers drawn from the Book of Common Prayer. Individuals can sign up online to receive the prayers and inspirational messages via email. The prayers will also be posted daily on social media for The Episcopal Church and Forward Movement. We will also have bulletin inserts on Sundays. “As we move toward and adapt to a shorter, smaller General Convention, I invite every Episcopalian—whether you’re in Baltimore or Alaska or Honduras, whether you’re a deputy, a bishop, or a new member sitting in the pews—I invite all of us to pause each day just for a moment to pray for the expansive, reviving power of the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts and minds,” Bishop Curry said. “We are people of common prayer; may we embrace this season as an opportunity for us all to become a church that truly lives, looks, and loves like Jesus.”

Almighty God, you rescued your people from slavery in Egypt, and throughout the ages you have never failed to hear the cries of the captives; We remember before you our sisters and brothers in Galveston, Texas who received the glad tidings of their emancipation; Forgive us for the many grave sins that delayed that liberating word; Anoint us with your Spirit to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim the year of your favor; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen...from the Rt. Rev. Deon Johnson, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri

On Sunday, June 26th, after the 9:30 a.m. service, Trinity Parish will hold a brief ceremony in front of the church at 300 Main Street, to dedicate the Heritage Plaque installed by the City of Wethersfield last month. The dedication will celebrate the 150 plus years of parish history that the plaque represents, and the hard work that went into making this historic marker part of Wethersfield’s Heritage Walk.
The town of Wethersfield will be holding a separate Celebratory Unveiling of the newest panels (Trinity Episcopal Church, The Wood Parcel and an Old Wethersfield Directory Map) Thursday, June 23rd @ 4:30p.m. at the site of the new Directory Map at the corner of Church Street & Main Street.
The Wethersfield Heritage Walk is a three-mile, self-guided tour by exhibit kiosks and wayside panels through Main Street, The Cove, Broad Street Green, and more!

Prayer for Pride Month
by the Rev. Helena L. Martin, St. Paul's, Southington
God, you breathed life into the world and called your creation good. You stretched out the rainbow as a sign of your blessing and protection, especially after times of trial.
God of creation, Hear us.
We pray for ourselves, for all the times we forgot you or our neighbors. Forgive us for the times we have hurt others, through our own deeds or through actions done on our behalf. God of mercy, forgive us.
We pray for everyone who does not yet empathize with those whose sexualities and genders differ from their own. We ask that you open their hearts to your expansive love for all people.
God of love, deliver us.
We pray that you send your blessing upon us. Save us from the tendency to think we can do everything on our own. Direct us to others who can guide, support, and protect us—and help us to do the same for others.
God of joy, bless us.
We pray for the strength to pursue your will for the world, even when we have to swim against the current. Help us to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with you.
God of justice, send us.

We have no set agendas, but simply engage in a wide-ranging spiritual discussion built on our readings of the daily meditations from Rohr's Center for Action and Contemplation. It is free to sign up for the CAC Daily Meditations. Although Rohr is a Franciscan priest, the meditations often come from other theologians, and even from Episcopalians on occasion! For a link to our Saturday zoom gathering, please email Garth Myers at garth.myers@trincoll.edu or garthandrewmyers@gmail.com. We are a small group in number, but mighty in spirit and welcoming love.
