GIFTS started at Trinity and over the years grew to a point where they have a beautiful setting for unhoused males. Trinity serves the ministry throughout the year but for two weeks, twice per year, we partner with First Lutheran church in a joint ministry of service.
Trinity is hosting the first of our two summer joint services on June 29 at 10:00 am.
(St. Paul’s will host at 10:00 am on August 31.)
Please use the signup sheets in the back of the church for your tasty dishes or general supplies for fellowship after the service.
To all the fine folks interested in the Episcopal Church,
I have been working hard on our Episcopal 101 classes for this year. Just a few reminders regarding the class:
-If you would like to become an official member of the Episcopal Church, you need to enroll for the class and stick with it until the end. Talk to our Office Managers if you still need to sign up.
-Even though the class is mainly for people who want to be either confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, the class is open to everyone who wants to brush up on the Episcopalianism. Here is the sign up form.
-The class will be offered mostly online. On the 15 th of each month, a new class will be made available. Both church offices will send a link out so that people can easily access these classes.
-Those participating in Episcopal 101 will have a month to watch each video session after they are released. There will also be some follow up questions tagged at the end of each video. People will need to either submit an email or hand-written response to Fr TJ. By the 15 th of the following month.
-On January 15 th , two videos will come out. The first video will be an introductory explanation video. The second will be our first class. It is called, Anglican Anthropology: Image-Bearers of the Triune God.
-We will also gather in-person twice this year to discuss everything we have learned so far. Our first gathering will probably be in May (Fr TJ will keep you posted).
Thank you,
Fr TJ
Calling all students in grades 6-12, young adults ages 18-23, and adult leader-types ages 24+ from the Diocese of Wisconsin! Join us July 19-26, 2025 for EpiscoWisco Love Journey!
What is EpiscoWisco Love Journey? We are embarking on a sort of pilgrimage, or “love journey”, through the five regions of DIOWIS to serve, learn, worship, play, connect, and be in fellowship with fellow Episcopalians to witness the abundance of God’s mercy and delight within our own communities. This unique, one-of-a-kind opportunity will allow people from around the state of all ages to participate, though we do have to have some limits within our crew on the road.
While more specific details will be announced in the coming months as we confirm partners, projects, and host sites, you can learn more about the trip itself, why we’re doing it (and why now), check a draft itinerary & route, and save your spot! The deadline to register for the Caravan/Road Trip Crew is Monday, May 5, 2025.
Questions? Contact our Trip Leads, Erin “Ernie” Wolf and Aran Walter | www.episcowisco.camp/lovejourney
We hope to see y’all on the road this summer!
A favorite tradition during Janesville Jolly Jingle, and at the right price - FREE!
The food and drink are delicious and made with love. We offer a variety of soups with varying dietary options (while they last.) Our warm and inviting Parish Hall is decked out for fun.
Ortmayer Hall is located on the corner of East Court Street and Atwood Avenue. An accessible entrance with elevator is located on the side of the building on Atwood Ave - clearly marked.
Happy people from the wider community have been making this stop a tradition for years. The Trolley will stop (you have to ask), so don’t worry about weather or Court St. Hill. If you’re driving, parking is available in the Atwood Avenue parking lot.
Yum! Yum! Yum!
Thank you to everyone who donated gifts for Jail Chaplaincy. Rev. Meg Trimm blessed the gifts on Sunday, November 24, 2024.
