From our Rector

………….The Rev. Jeannie Martz

Every time we approach a change of liturgical season or month of the year, one of the three of us in the office invaria-bly says, “I can’t believe that it’s almost ________________ already!” (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, May, Graduation, Summer – take your pick.) Equally invariably, the other two of us reply, “I know – I can’t believe it either!” The hymn “O God, our help in ages past” refers to Time as “an ever flowing stream”. In my opinion, the flowing stream is more like a rushing torrent, and it rushes through our lives faster and faster every year – or through mine at least! (I know many of our kids wouldn’t agree with me because in their experience, never mind growing up – just getting through the last weeks of a school year takes FOR-EV-ER! Ah well – you know what they say: the length of a minute is determined by which side of the bathroom door one is on.) If, like me, you’d like a brief respite from the torrent, I have a little oasis of calm to offer you. As many of you know, I’m on the Board of Canterbury Irvine, the Episcopal campus minis-try at UC Irvine. Because of my Board membership, on Sat-urday, May 9 Trinity will be hosting Canterbury Irvine’s Spring Garden Party fundraiser from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the parish hall and back patio area, and all the parishes in the diocese are invited to join us. Where’s the respite here? Imagine yourself on our back pa-tio with a glass of wine or lemonade (or coffee or iced tea or water), enjoying a selection of finger foods, all courtesy of Bishop Diane (except for the coffee or iced tea or water) as a gentle breeze cools the air. You wander into the parish hall to take advantage of the silent auction – How about a sunset cruise on a 30’ sailboat? Or some artwork, jewelry items, gift certificates, or gift baskets? Or a potted succulent or two? Do you have some leather that needs refurbishing? I bet there’s something in the auction for that! As you look at all the items set up around the room, you be-come aware of the cellist playing in the background, and you spend time visiting with Episcopalians from different parish-es. At 4 p.m. the Chair of the Canterbury Irvine Board says a few words and introduces the afternoon’s keynote speaker, Bishop Mary Glasspool – and you remember how much you enjoyed Bishop Mary’s visit to Trinity last year. While Bishop Mary speaks, the auction results are tallied and listed, and you find that you were the successful bidder on that special item that caught your eye. At 5 p.m., after more enjoyable conversation with Bishops Mary and Diane, as well as with other Trinity folk, you put down your lemonade, col-lect your auction item(s), and head home refreshed and re-laxed.

As you do, you think to yourself, “I can’t believe that it’s almost time for Messy Church already!! A month from today, on the second Saturday in June, we’ll be having our first Messy Church of the summer!” And then you’re not only refreshed and relaxed, you’re also happy – because you remember how much you and your family love Messy Church every year. See? Isn’t this nice? And it’ll be even nicer when it’s actual as opposed to virtual, so please mark your cal-endars for the Canterbury Irvine Garden Party, Satur-day, May 9, 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. in the parish hall and on the patio. Rev. Annie and I will see you there. My very sincere thanks to Janette Mattson for coordi-nating this event, to Lisa Jewett and the Kitchen Guild for providing coffee, iced tea, and water as well as assistance in the kitchen, and to everyone who lends these named folks a hand or two. There’s no way it could happen without you!

On a glorious Easter Sunday in Portland (no it

was not raining), Robert and Amy Morales

attended St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal

church where their son and future daughter in

law attend. They were able to meet the priest

that will be officiating at the wedding.

Between 1854 and 1929, so-called orphan trains ran regularly from the cities of the East Coast to the farmlands of the

Midwest, carrying thousands of abandoned children whose fates would be determined by pure luck. Would they be adopt-

ed by a kind and loving family, or would they face a childhood and adolescence of hard labor and servitude?

As a young Irish immigrant, Vivian Daly was one such child, sent by rail from New York City to an uncertain future a world

away. Returning east later in life, Vivian leads a quiet, peaceful existence on the coast of Maine, the memories of her up-

bringing rendered a hazy blur. But in her attic, hidden in trunks, are vestiges of a turbulent past.

Seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer knows that a community-service position helping an elderly widow clean out her attic is the

only thing keeping her out of juvenile hall. But as Molly helps Vivian sort through her keepsakes and possessions, she

discovers that she and Vivian aren’t as different as they appear. A Penobscot Indian who has spent her youth in and out

of foster homes, Molly is also an outsider being raised by strangers, and she, too, has unanswered questions about the

past.

Moving between contemporary Maine and Depression-era Minnesota, Orphan Train is a powerful tale of upheaval and

resilience, second chances, and unexpected friendship.

It has now been two years since

our Saturday worship began.

Have you tried it out? This is a

casual service with no music, a

table as our Altar, Rev. Jeannie

or Rev. Annie vested informally

and a discussion on the lessons

rather than a sermon. We also serve communion to each

other. This service has become some parishioner’s ser-

vice of choice.

Why not do something different this summer and come

see what this Eucharist is all about.

For those of you who like to sleep in on Sunday, have

busy athletic schedules on Sundays, work on Sundays, or

are just interested in a change of pace, come join us.

Bring your friends and go out to dinner afterwards.

SATURDAY EVENING SERVICE

MESSY CHURCH IS RETURNING - A service

where all are invited to participate and children tell

the Bible story. Imagine sitting in your beach chair

surrounded by friends and family worshiping God,

celebrating life and having fun, all here on the

back lawn at Trinity. One Saturday a month dur-

ing the summer we will have an outside evening Eucharist. This is a

great way to include family members who aren’t currently attending ser-

vices and a wonderful way to introduce friends and neighbors to Trinity

and the Episcopal Church. Our first Messy Church will be on Saturday

June 13th 5:30pm.
