CITY SERVE 2021 IS COMING!!
What is CITY SERVE? A city-wide service day for making a boots-on-the-ground difference in our neighborhoods
When is CITY SERVE? Saturday, October 2. Most service opportunities are for just 3 hours - either 9-12 in the morning or 1-4 in the afternoon.
How do I sign up? It's super easy! All of the projects are grouped by area of the City. How many people are needed for each project and a link to sign up are posted on the City Serve webpage at this address:

We've been talking a lot about being "Influencers" in the spaces and places where we work and live. The City Serve 2021 projects are a perfect opportunity for each of us to be an influencer for God's Kingdom and bless members of our community with the love of Jesus in very concrete ways. Painting classrooms. Yard work at schools. Helping at food banks. Neighborhood park cleanups. Making cards for nursing home patients.
City Serve 2021 includes nearly 100 distinct work projects throughout El Paso County with at least 2 work shifts for most of the projects and work slots for nearly 5000 volunteers. Let's respond to the challenge and make a difference on October 2!
Deacon Mark and Christy, his wife, will be working the afternoon shift (1-4 PM) at Prairie Hills Elementary School. Want to join us?? Here's the link to that particular project, which still has 13 openings, as of this writing.
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a big Holy Trinity presence among the volunteers on October 2? The opportunity calls. Please join your church family and help make a difference in our community.
By the way, there is also a City-wide worship event on the Friday evening before the Saturday work day. Pastor Matt will be one of the clergy involved in the worship event. The worship will be held at two locations - First Pres and Discovery Church - beginning at 6:30 PM on October 1.
If you have questions or need further information, please contact the Church Office.
A Few Additional Items of Note
Membership Class
The Membership Class will be held on Sunday, September 26 in the afternoon at the Church. We have several families that will be in attendance, and there is still room for more. If you're interested in hearing more about our Anglican roots and about our church history, or if you're interested in becoming a voting member of the congregation, please contact the Church Office to be added to the roster for this class.
Anselm Writer's Workshop
The Anselm Society is hosting and sponsoring a wonderful workshop opportunity next week: An Evening with S. D. Smith. This event will appeal to both adults and kids who are interested in writing. Author Smith will share how to lean into a faithful Christian identity and create generous work. He will touches on foundational principles and wisdom that he has won both from success and failure in his own artistic endeavors.
Tickets are available on the Anselm website at THIS LINK.
Picnic Pictures
Finally, if you are interested in seeing some of the photos taken during the joint service and picnic we had with IAC at Bear Creek Regional Park, the pictures and the sermons have been posted on the IAC website. You can find them here: PICTURE LINK and SERMON LINK.
