English Tea Garden and Gift Shop
The Tea Room is a charming and unique place to bring friends and
have a good home-cooked meal as well as browse for gifts. The
restaurant, run by volunteers from Holy Trinity and other friends,
is open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for lunch (11:00 AM to 2:00
PM) , with Tuesdays set
aside for group reservations. The gift shop is open from 8:00 AM to
4:00 PM those same days. Monies raised from these endeavors
support the 148 Broad Street property, some outreach projects and
church activities. There are numerous and continuing
needs for volunteers in this congenial atmosphere. Contact:
Sharon Sheedy (346-7937).
Episcopal Church Women (ECW)
All women who are members of the Episcopal Church are automatically
members of the ECW. The group sponsors numerous activities
throughout the year, including two potluck supper/business meetings,
an ecumenical Lenten luncheon, a shut-in service, an over 80
birthday reception, holiday fair, and other fund raising activities.
Contact: Pam Ferguson (347-0458).
Family Fellowship
This group gets together several times a year for potluck suppers or
other family outings.
Holiday Fair
Held at the church each November, the Fair is sponsored by the ECW
and consists of many different tables of goods and foods, local
crafts, and children's activities, including a visit from Santa.
Items for the fair and raffle are either made or donated by
parishioners or local merchants. The proceeds go to the ECW's
largest outreach activity-the shut-in service.
House of Talents
 This group of parishioners and friends came together 31
years ago. They work on all kinds of craft projects: ABC wall
charts, counter charts, school busses, Christmas ornaments, favors
for the shut-in services, etc. Work is done in the front room at the
English Tea Garden on Thursday mornings as well as at home. It is a
constructive, friendship-building way to raise money for parish
outreach and other projects. Contact: Pat Nielson (347-3018).
Library
Our library provides inspiration and pleasure in the form of books,
periodicals, an excellent reference collection, and tapes. Books
arriving on a monthly schedule and donations given by parishioners
have helped to build an interesting, thought provoking and diverse
collection. The library also provides a comfortable room for small
group meetings. Contact: Maggie Engel (399-6824).
Moms/Dads and Tots
This is a newly formed group of moms/dads and their preschool
children who meet for a potluck lunch and socialization on the
second Tuesday each month..
Newcomers Committee
This group attempts to create a welcoming environment for recent
arrivals to the parish, in order to help them assimilate quickly
into parish life. They try to make sure all newcomers are invited to
parish events and activities and help them get acquainted with other
members of the congregation. They also look at church materials to
be sure those unfamiliar with our ways can easily understand.
We want you to be a part of this community that strives to support
and nourish one another as a parish family, as we grow spiritually
in our life together. Contact: Pat Nielson (347-3018), Lois Dragone (347-5373)
or Laura Wardner (635-2308). |
