If you're looking for creative ideas for the children and youth of your parish to get back to the true meaning of Advent, click below.
Celebrating 50: Holy Trinity Church prepares to begin new era of service
09/01/2006
On Sunday, Oct. 8, people will gather at Holy Trinity Church to celebrate the congregation’s 50 years in Brandenburg and embrace, for the second time, the beginning of a new era of ministry and mission.The anniversary celebration will begin at 10 a.m. (EDT) with Eucharist, celebrated by Bishop Ted Gulick. The reception afterwards will feature a collection of still photos and a video presentation chronicling the life of the congregation, which actually began its ministry in Grahamton early in the 20th century when it was led by Fr. Gorter. In 1941, the U.S. government bought Holy Trinity Memorial Chapel in Grahamton as part of the Fort Knox expansion, but the congregation remained together, worshiping in the home of Joe and Maggie Allen until 1954 when the Rev. Courtney Carpenter broke ground for the new church on land donated by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation.

Stewardship, services to aid church ministries was focus of Fall Leadership Conference
10/30/2006
Encouraged by young Episcopalians’ passionate involvement in Millennium Development Goals initiatives to eradicate poverty globally, Bishop Ted Gulick urged leaders of the diocese’s congregations to cultivate an understanding of stewardship as an act of giving out of desire and moral responsibility rather than out of guilt and obligation. Noting that most congregations are now engaged in their annual stewardship campaigns, Gulick explained that it is important for us to see that we are made in God’s image and, like Jesus, are a gift to the world. Stewardship, he said, is best illustrated and explained by Jesus. “What is the one nonliving entity that Jesus gave a name to?” Gulick asked. “Mammon, which is Aramaic for money. You cannot serve God and serve Mammon. Money can take on something like a personality, said rabbi Jesus.”
