Updated Florida Conference COVID Guidance We wrote last week and shared our concerns about the rising COVID-19 cases in Florida.  We write again this week because of the continued increase of infections and the updated CDC guidelines related to masks.  Please factor these two realities into your ongoing leadership conversations and decisions.  We ask pastors and church leaders to take the current reality in Florida seriously and adjust your expectations for ministry as we continue to  navigate this season together.  We urge the use of masks in indoor settings, as an expression of our love for our neighbor and as the fulfillment of the law of Christ (Galatians 5:14).   Should you have any specific questions, please contact your District Office or you can reach the episcopal office through [email protected].

Leon County Schools is recruiting mentors for the 2021-2022 school year. Students are matched one-on-one with mentors and meet weekly from September-April.  The mentor provides academic assistance, guidance, support and encouragement to the mentee.  Mentors play a vital role in inspiring students to realize their goals and reach their full potential. The time commitment is usually between 30-45 minutes each week. Thank you for considering becoming a vital member of the Leon County Schools’ community involvement team.  By serving in this capacity, you will most certainly make a positive difference in the life of a student.

A special concert featuring the music of American composers will be held Friday, September 10, 2021, at 7pm in the sanctuary. Joyful and meaningful piano, organ, instrumental, and vocal music will be shared as a positive way to remember the sacrifice of so many as we commemorate the 20th Anniversary of 9/11. Performers include Yulia Billa, Viktor Billa, Marques Ruff, Warren May, Claire Williams, Patrick Ashley and Christopher Titko. This is a great way to introduce a friend to Trinity Church.
