Transition Team Update

, Have you noticed a bunch of people huddled around laptops and iPads at all different times and places around the church this last month? 

That would be your Discernment team, hard at work responding to questions for the Ministry Website. 

Our responses will be posted by the diocese and read by clergy who are in the beginning of discerning their call to move where God sends them. 

​Here are a few of the questions:

• Describe your liturgical style and practice.  If your community provides more than one type of worship service, please describe all.
• As a worshipping community, how do you care for your spiritual, emotional and physical well-being?
• Tell about a Ministry that your worshipping community has initiated in the past few years.  Who can be contacted about this?
• How are you preparing yourselves for the Church of the future?

All of the information we have been gathering from you through during our Parish Breakfast, the history boards, the question of the week, etc. has helped us to craft responses that reflect who Trinity Church is.  When we have completed this phase of work, we will share with you.

Another part of the work of the Discernment Team has been to look closely at our own website and make adjustments and enhancements so that the site is easy to navigate, up to date, and inviting to those who stop by for a visit.

Amanda Lavallee and Carolyn Clement have been working on loading new content and hope to have the Rector Search section finished by the end of the month. However, there will be on-going needs for keeping our website current. 

A small but mighty team of "Trinity Techies" has met and have agreed to meet quarterly to discuss the 21st century tech needs of our church.  They are: Melien Lavoie, Hap Osborne, Larry Holl, Jeff Sutton, Amanda Lavallee and Carolyn Clement. 

Search around our site www.trinitytariffville.org, and remember to send any thoughts, comments or commendations to the Discernment team at trinitytransition17@gmail.com.

Trinity Discernment Team,
Elaine Chagnon, Carolyn Clement, Troy Mcfarlane, John Nagy, Kathy Sutton, Ray Williard, Kathy Zirolli
