Mission Statement

I asked the vestry of Trinity, “What is your personal mission statement for Trinity?” The answers have been moving and motivating (I have edited them slightly).

One vestry member wrote, “My personal mission is to proclaim the word of God by my actions.”

Another, “My mission is to inspire others to seek out and develop an ever-deeper connection with God, both through sharing my personal journey and amplifying the church’s voice”

And, My personal mission for Trinity is by way of my own actions, life ,and faith; stand ready to welcome and encourage the next generation of Trinity to deepen their connection with Christ and be the future stewards of Trinity.”

And my own? “I seek to inspire the people of Trinity through worship and pastoral care, and help Trinity call its next Rector.”

So, what is your personal mission statement for Trinity? I would love to hear from you. Drop me a line! Click here

Listening for God's voice in the Sunday morning Bible study

When we finish a scripture in church, the reader says, "Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people." Through meditating on a passage of scripture, we hear God still speaking. This is the goal of the Sunday morning Bible Study which now meets in Honyman Hall each Sunday at

9 a.m. Prepare by reading the passages in advance, click here .

Music at Trinity Summer Concert Series

Sunday, July 14, 2024, 3:00 PM

Featuring:

Folk Baroque

Bach to Ragtime

Joy Grimes , Baroque violin / fiddle

Emily Rideout , Baroque viola

Daniel Rowe , Baroque cello

Folk Baroque explores the counterpoint and connections between early music and traditional music from around the world. They perform on period instruments (fiddle, viola, and cello) and love sharing music old and new from a variety of traditions. Their concerts offer up anything from Bach to ragtime, or centuries-old fiddle tunes to their own compositions. They also love sharing with the audience about the music they play and offer casual conversation or lecture-format discussions about their musical programs.

Do you wonder whether God is calling you to a deeper understanding of Scripture, history, and theology in an effort to respond more fully to God’s call for yourself? If so, you might want to consider joining the Education for Ministry (EfM) group that is going to begin meeting here on Aquidneck Island, Monday July15, 2024.

Education for Ministry is a unique, four-year distance learning certificate program in the theological education based upon small group study and practice offered by The University of the South (Sewanee). Join us and see if this is what you are being called to do. Mentors Christine Cassel and Noel Robinson invite you to an open house that will be held at St. Columba’s Chapel on Monday, July 15 from 6:00-8:30 p.m. Please contact Deacon Christine Cassel with questions that you might have.

Happy 4th of July!

I am in the wilds of Utah, stargazing and hiking. Lynn and I return from vacation this Friday, and I’ll see you this Sunday at Trinity.

Meanwhile, take a moment reflecting on the Collect for Independence Day from the Book of Common Prayer:

Lord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country realized liberty

for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations

then unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have

grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace. Amen

THE TRAVELIN' MAN

Friends:

Greetings from Louisville, Kentucky, where I stopped in on the General Convention of the Episcopal Church to witness the election of the new Presiding Bishop.

I had a friend in the running, who wasn't called, but the bishops made a great choice for the future of the Episcopal Church, Bishop Sean Rowe. He's young, 49, and understands how critical the next nine years are for the Episcopal Church, and churches like Trinity.

Here's a good article, and even one in the NYT!

I'm off to New Mexico.

The Rev. Timothy Safford, Interim Rector

Listening for God's voice in the Sunday morning Bible study

When we finish hear a scripture in church, the reader says, "Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people." Through meditating on a passage of scripture, we hear God still speaking. This is the goal of the Sunday morning Bible Study which now meets in Honyman Hall each Sunday at

9 a.m. Prepare by reading the passages in advance,click here .

Jesus sailed

Friends:

As I’ve learned, folks on the “Island” like to sail. So did Jesus.

This Sunday and in the weeks ahead, Jesus is found in a boat, crossing the Sea of Galilee and its environs. In Mark’s gospel, which we’re reading sequentially on Sundays, each time Jesus is in a boat, it’s an allegorical message about the church. The biblical word for “boat” in Greek is “Navis,” which, of course, is where “Navy” comes from. More to the point, it is where the word “Nave” comes from: the interior of the church.

Most gothic church interiors, when looking up, are meant to evoke the interior of a ship; Trinity, not so much but you still get the idea. When in church, we’re all in the same boat—Christ’s boat—sailing the tempestuous sea. From the stern, Christ guides and navigates and stills the tempestuous sea.

To extend the allegory further, the church is a specific kind of “Navis”—an ark, as in Noah’s ark, offering protection and deliverance. As the great theologian and ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr quipped: “The Church is like Noah’s ark, the stench inside is tolerable because the storm outside is unbearable.”

The Rev. Timothy Safford, Interim Rector
