Pastoral Care Events Resume September 11

Weekly pastoral care events will resume the week of September 11. All events will take place on Zoom. For more information, please contact Lillian Revel (pastoralcare@trinitynewhaven.org).

Morning Meditation (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 8:30-9 a.m. starting September 11): We practice the silent method of Centering Prayer. If you wish to join but are not familiar with this method, ask Lilian for a brief explanation. Newcomers are most welcome to join this meditation group anytime. You are not committed to join every time. Just drop in as the spirit moves you.

Trinity Sages (every other Tuesday from 4-5 p.m. starting September 12): This is a conversation group that meets mothy to discuss issues that come up as we age, the changes we experience in all areas of life, and how we learn from them. And ultimately, how our wisdom can help others. Newcomers are welcome.

Spirituality Group with Luk and Lillian (Wednesdays 5-6 p.m. starting September 13): It is hard to imagine anyone who has never had any doubts about his/her faith. We all have them. Many people will keep such questions to themselves or bring them up only in private. In his book Do I stay Christian? A Guide for the Doubters, the Disappointed, and the Disillusioned author Brian McLaren brings these questions to the public arena. He guides us skillfully to finding answers for ourselves. As we read this book, Luk and Lilian will guide the group in sharing our thoughts, doubts and all. As we will see, it is not so much whether the answer is Yes or No; the answer lies much more in the How.

Women's Bible Study and Beyond (Thursdays 4-5 p.m. starting September 14): Our purpose is to form a deeply rooted community as we discuss various biblical and spiritual topics. Our starting point is usually a book by a known author. This time we will start with How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Mariann E. Budde. “Bishop Budde teaches us to respond with clarity and grace even in the toughest times. Being brave is not a singular occurrence; it’s a journey that we can choose to undertake every day.”  Newcomers are most welcome to join this study group.
