Please join us on Sunday, July 27 as Jon blesses the newly renovated Sacristy. Now, what the heck am I talking about??
The Sacristy is the sacred space where beloved and dedicated members of the Altar Guild prepare the Lord’s supper every Sunday and at other special services throughout the year. Our TAG Team (TAG is the acronym we use for Trinity Altar Guild) is composed of Scott Dibling, Kyle Grefe, Brian Ingman, Sue Smitley, and Kelly Termin. Trinity is so blessed to have such a wonderful group of people prepare and clean up after Eucharist each Sunday.
Before the renovation of the Sacristy, our beloved TAG team worked in an old, dark, and worn-out space—the Formica countertops were cracked and ragged, the walls were a dark olive green, and who knows when that carpet had last been cleaned! With outstanding help from Heather, we made magic happen: new counters, new floor, new sink, off white paint, and lots of new lighting. We’ve created a space that truly feels sacred.
A few weeks ago, Chelsie sang a hymn at the Offertory called Mothering God, written by Tom Trenney. This spoke to me so richly of the feast offered each week by Jesus.
Mothering Christ, you took my form
Offering me your food of light
Grain of life and grape of love
Your very body for my peace
After the service on Sunday, please take time to thank TAG members for the great work they do in providing a meaningful Eucharist for you. After that, stop by the Sacristy to see our sacred kitchen. If you are feeling called to join us on the Altar Guild, please let us know!
