Pentecost
We will kick off the Pentecost season with a festive and celebratory Pentecost worship service on May 24; don’t forget to wear red! Following worship, we’ll enjoy cake as we celebrate the birthday of the church.
The art and reflections from A Sanctified Art will be available in the form of a study journal that can be used all summer. Copies will be made available at the church.
Open Doors Donations
For the month of May, we will be collecting food supplies from Open Doors' shopping list. The list includes ramen, protein bars, and chips. Keep in mind, all food items must be sealed and individually packaged for distribution. Items should require minimal preparation, which can be done by guests independently with a microwave or limited resources.
The full list can be found here.
Donations can be dropped off to the church office during regular office hours.
Caregiver
Support Group
“There are only four kinds of people in the world: Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.”
~ Rosalyn Carter
Carter’s words remind us that no matter our stage in life, care-giving or receiving, will be part of it at some point. And many of us may be experiencing the challenges of caregiving in multiple ways. What remains important is we must care for ourselves so we can best care for others. Easier said than done. One way we can do this is to offer support to one another.
In response to the observation that there are many caregivers at Trinity and a verbalized interest in a support group of this kind, we will be offering a caregiver support group here at Trinity.
The group could include current, previous, and/or future caregivers.The intention of the group will be to:
Create space for caregivers to have a period of respite
Allow a safe space for sharing the challenges of caregiving
Provide opportunities to learn from one another
Meet regularly at first and intentionally thereafter as convenient for the group
The group will be facilitated by Pastoral Care Associate, Barbara Bowmanfollow. If you have an interest in participating in a Caregiver Support Group, please contact:Barbara Bowman at pastoralcare@trinitypresbyterianharrisonburg.org by Sunday, April 12 so that we may begin the group by late April.
Stroll For Your Soul
Do you need some encouragement to get back in your walking shoes this spring? Are you a walker or a runner seeking mindfulness on your daily walk/run? Are you a biker or a hiker wanting inspiration with your exercise? "Stroll for Your Soul" invites us to be aware of God’s presence while we walk, run, or cycle, and offers 23 daily Emails inviting gratitude, mindful attention, and inspiration as you walk, jog, run, bike, or stroll. If mobility issues limit your walking, you can “stroll in place” at home.
Join Sara Holben in this 23-day adventure! You do the exercise wherever you choose. You can do this as a solitary contemplative practice. Or you can invite your friends or family to join you in person or from a distance. The daily emails will run from May 1-23. You can sign up here to indicate your interest in receiving the daily emails and share the names and emails of those who may join you!
