This is Trinity Sunday! It is one of the 7 principal feasts in the Episcopal Church calendar.  It is the day when the church celebrates the Christian doctrine of the Trinity- the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  The Creed of Saint Athanasius, which is found in the Book of Common Prayer (page 864), is a statement of faith which focuses on the importance of the Trinity.
There will be a vestry meeting after church this Sunday.
This summer, St. Thomas will again be selling goods for 1000 Jobs Haiti at the Charlestown Farmer's Market.  The Farmer's Market meets every Friday from 9:30-1pm, beginning June 23.
