Introductions to This Sunday’s Lessons Acts 17.22-31 On his second missionary journey, Paul has crossed Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and has arrived in Athens, a city known for its interest in the divine and for its openness to discussion of philosophies and religions. He now tells the good news to those gathered at the edge of the marketplace. 1 Peter 3.13-22 The author has exhorted his readers to live ethical lives and not to repay evil for evil. They face persecution for their faith. He asks: who will weaken your faith or cause you to lose it all together? John 14.15-21 Jesus has told his followers of his impending departure from them. He has told them that he is going, through resurrection and ascension, to the Father, to prepare a place of permanent fellowship for them. He will return to take them there, a place where there is ample room for as many as believe. |

A New Community Is Forming — All Are Welcome! We are excited to announce the formation of Trinity Pride, our LGBTQ+ group — a welcoming space for connection, conversation, and community within our parish family. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or as an ally, we’d love for you to be part of this new and meaningful chapter at Trinity. To get things started, we’ll be gathering a few times over the summer — at varying times so everyone has a chance to join in — to share ideas, get to know one another, and consider together what this community can be and do. We hope these conversations will be as fun as they are meaningful! Our first meeting will be Sunday, May 17, immediately following the 10 o’clock service, in the second-floor classroom. Come as you are, bring your ideas, and help us build something wonderful together. For more information, please reach out to any of our organizers — we’d love to hear from you! – Jill Leonard — 703-593-4354 | jillmleonard_2000@yahoo.com – Brian Embriani — 215-888-6708 | BJEmbriani@aol.com – Kathryn Jakabcin — 610-368-4744 | jakabcin@comcast.net Come help us create a joyful and purposeful community within our Trinity family! |
