A long but fruitful day. Today I came to the realization that I want to be a part of the church community and understand more about Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit... the Trinity. I have felt for sometime that something was missing in my spiritual life. I have always had a belief in a higher being but somehow always felt shy when it comes to expressing this belief or taking action to grow in a Christian faith direction. The day started with a meeting with Rev. Greg Jenkins. I wanted to gain some feeling for how I could be a part of the churches health and well being and how I could also grow in the direction of fellowship and spirit. In the afternoon I went to my job. I meet with a senior as a companion 3 times a week. It was a very exciting afternoon as I absorbed the disscusion that David (who is 81 and a saved soul since 1955) and I bounced the ideas I had shared with Rev. Greg off of David and absorbed as well all his stories and ideas. It really is very interesting that I was placed with David in September about the same time I started at the church. In the evening I attended a Town Hall meeting at the church.This is a follow up to the visions and goals that the Parish had set back 2 years ago during a transition stage. I know after this meeting this evening and the disscusions, sharing and prayer that I belong.
My 81 year old mentor David put it this way.... there is CH and there is RH but to put it all together what is missing in the middle is U! Of course... he is a very wise Irishman with many years of experiance to share with me. I am part of that U .... will you find out with me on my path to growing spiritually if you have some of that U in you! Goodnight, Smile Bright and God Bless........
Welcome to my blog and to Trinity Anglican Church. At Trinity I have found that they are a joyful,Christ-centered fellowship of believers within the Anglican tradition. (this is true from their web site!) The members enjoy a rich and active parish life and actively support ministries in our own community and beyond. I have been welcomed and welcome you wherever you are on your spiritual journey; seekers, believers and others to follow or join in. The joy is waiting for you to find.
