The mission of the Outreach and Justice Committee is to help Trinity serve God by serving and advocating for others in our community.
How we do this:
-We make our community a better place by listening to and seeking to understand the needs of our neighbors.
-We follow Christ’s example of compassion and inclusivity.
-We affirm that this is intergenerational work, involving people of all ages and backgrounds.
-We recognize that we cannot do this work alone, and that part of our work is connecting people with other service providers and supporting them through grants, in-kind donations, and volunteering.
At our next meeting, we will be discerning how we may serve our neighbors through both our feeding ministries and tabling at community events. Our meetings dates for 2026–2027 are:
-Sunday, Sept 20th, 12:00 PM
-Sunday, Jan 10th, 12:00 PM
-Sunday, May 2nd, 12:00 PM

Season of Creation Devotionals
Sign up to receive daily devotionals offered by faithful contributors from Episcopal Province I. The purpose of these daily devotions is to open our eyes to some of the “created ones” with whom we share common ground, to awaken our hearts to their needs, and to take new steps toward living together in peace.
Each day of the 2026 Season of Creation (September 1 - October 4) participants will receive a Daily Devotion via email bringing to light a different species in our Province One EcoRegions. The Devotions will include a photo, a brief description, thoughts on how the species reflects our image of God, and a closing prayer.
Sign Up Here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/0XmcMht
The Devotions will also be accessible at the website of An Episcopal
