PENTECOST
Next Sunday on Pentecost following the liturgy we would like the church school students to meet briefly to help plant basil in a planter here at the church.
Basil, along with other herbs and flowers are traditionally brought to church to be blessed for Dormition on August 15th.
The students will also get to plant their own individual pot of basil to take home and take care of over the summer in hopes that by August they will have basil to bring to church for the feast.
We are planning to have a one or two day Vacation Bible School Retreat focusing on Mary the week before Dormition.
Stay tuned for details!
ANNUAL TRINITY GOLF TOURNEY
Our next major fund raiser is our Annual Trinity Tourney Golf Tournament set for Thursday, June 28 at Beekman Country Club in Hopewell Junction, New York just off the Taconic Parkway.
The cost is $625 for a pre-paid foursome, or $175 per golfer, $150 for those under 18.
CUPOLA INSTALLATION & DEDICATION
A cupola is being built and will be installed for our church in the summer.
After many years of planning and saving, we have contracted Baut Studio from Pennsylvania to construct our cupola.
The cupola will be green in color which is the traditional color used during Pentecost and symbolizes life. It will also mimic the patina of copper.
The cross will be gold as will the ball at the base of the cross.
We are planning a cupola installation celebration when it comes time to lift the cupola with a crane to place it on the tower of our church.
Please do your best to keep your schedules free for that once in a lifetime experience.
On that day, we will bless the cupola and invite guests, dignitaries and the media for this momentous occasion in the life of our parish family. (Artist rendering, not actual cupola) ASP STOCK SHARES
Stock shares are still available for the ASP program at $10 each to fund our mission trip.
See ASP team members Luke Faubel, Nick Gross or Madeline Sulich if you would like to purchase stock shares.
INTERNATIONAL FOOD FESTIVAL
.PNG "food Festival at holy Trinity in Danbury")
Our parish is planning a new fundraiser: an International Food Festival.
It is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 28th.
This one day event would feature many different ethnic foods, activities for children, and music.
This is a huge undertaking but it could bring in a large amount of money in one day.
However, in order to succeed, we would need everyone to commit to being involved in one way or another.
If you are interested in preparing a specific ethnic food to sell or helping in some other way (set up, clean up, cashier, children’s activities, publicity and advertising, etc.) please sign up on the sheet in the hall so we can get an idea of how many people are behind this project.
Thank you.

Serving at Dorothy Day Hospitality House
Dorothy Day: We served about 85 meals on Friday May 4, 2012 at Dorothy Day Soup kitchen. Thanks to everyone who helped prepare the meal, set up and serve. Our next date to serve will be July 6th and we will need extra help because that’s the day before a few of the Dorothy Day regular servers leave for the ASP Tennessee trip. If you are able to help on that day, please see Susan Sulich.
The serving time at Dorothy Day is from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This outreach consists of two parts: preparing the meal and serving the meal. Since the meal can be prepared ahead of time and frozen, those who would like to participate in Dorothy Day but cannot come during the day to serve can help by preparing the food, which could be done in the evening. We will also be able to take desserts to serve. If anyone is interested in

Pentecost and the Work of the Church
Having finished the celebration of Christ's Resurrection from the dead it would be easy for one to think that Christians have reached the summit of what it is to be Church. Indeed there are many who feel a bit of sadness leaving Pascha behind and moving to the Feasts of the Ascenscion and Pentecost. But Pentecost is where we as Christians are to live out our Christian Faith. Just what is it that we are called to do as Christians? What is the work of the Church? What is it that we as the Church are supposed to do? Fr. Luke has some surprising and thoughtful insights to our spiritual life.
