Fellowship Hour
There are still many empty Sundays for Fellowship Hour!
Please sign up for Fellowship Hour. Get together with friends and family! Fellowship Hour is an important part of our liturgical experience, like the Agape Meal of the early Christians.
Donate an Icon
You have certainly seen the beautiful icon of the Trinity at the candle stand in the Narthex, written by Casey Newman. We would like to commission her to write a parallel icon for the other candle stand. This icon will be a Deisis, with Christ in the center, flanked by the Theotokos and St. John the Baptist. The donator of the icon will be able to add two saints of his/her own choosing to complete the icon. The donation for the icon is $850 and can be made in honor or in memory of a loved one. If you are interested in donating this icon, please see Fr. Constantine.
Do You Need to Occupy Children?
If you are looking something to keep your children occupied during the Liturgy, please check out our Children's Basket at the Pangari. You will find Bible stories, washable crayons and colored pencils, and coloring pages. Please help yourself and return the items at the end of Liturgy.
Re-Catechism Sessions
The Re-Catechism Program is an ongoing ministry to help our Parish Family grow in a deeper understanding of our faith. Each segment of the Program lasts more or less 8 sessions (we meet every other week) and covers a discussion of a wide range of topics. Among other topics we have discussed the lives of some of our contemporary saints and have discussed the text The Church in the Modern World, thinking about ways the Church is and should be addressing modern problems.
At our next session this Tuesday, July 20 at 7:00 pm. We will continue learning about the Jesus Prayer, using Frederica Matthewes-Green small but packed book The Jesus Prayer: The Ancient Desert Prayer that Tunes the Heart to God. The Zoom linke will be sent out later.
On-Line Book Club
We have our new book, Wounded by Love, by St. Porphyrios. Our next meeting is on Thursday, July 22 at 7:30 pm. If you are interested in joining our discussion, please speak with Father about getting getting the link.

Please Remember the Poor
There are Blessing Bags available to take and keep in your car for the times that you see someone begging at an intersection.
We also need items for the Blessing Bags (there are more bags waiting to be taken and given away!): deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, lip balm; hand sanitizer, and granola bars.
May God bless your generosity!
On-Line Giving
Because of the strange circumstances we find ourselves living through, our Parish, although blessed by God in many ways, suffers from a particular shortage of income during the summer months. Your consistent offering of your Stewardship each month will be an enormous help to get us through this summer slump. The easiest and most consistent way to do this is by having your Stewardship given automatically each month. Please go to our website (www.holytrinitynh.org); in the upper right hand corner (of each page!) you will find the link to make your monthly contribution. You can also use this link for other contributions to the parish, such as candles and trays, especially if you prefer not to handle cash. Thank you for your generosity and making sure we are able to serve you throughout the whole year to the glory of God!
