Book Group with Pastor Erdos
Pastor Erdos’s book group will begin reading a new book on Wednesday, April 8 at 7:30 pm. We will read Living Without Enemies: Being Present in the Midst of Violence by Samuel Wells and Marcia A. Owen.
This book winds together the story of Durham, NC during a time of increased gun violence and how a community of people were present with those who were suffering and grieving. The book explores the questions of how we are present and how our presence changes a world where everything is falling apart.
The 6-week book group will be held on Zoom. If you would like a link or more information, please speak with Pastor Erdos or email him at gerdos@trinityenglish.org.
About the book:
With senseless violence occurring throughout society, people are suffering and communities are groaning. Fear and not knowing where to begin hold many back from doing anything at all. But is "doing something" really what is most needed?Marcia Owen and Samuel Wells come together to tell the story of a community's journey through four different dimensions of social engagement. After attempts to seek legislative solutions led nowhere, a religious coalition began holding prayer vigils for local victims of gun violence. It was then that Owen discovered the beauty of simply being present. Through her friendships with both victims and offenders, Owen learned that being present was precisely the opposite of violence--it was love. And to truly love others as God loves us meant living without enemies and taking small steps toward reconciliation.Owen and Wells offer deep insights into what it takes to overcome powerlessness, transcend fear and engage in radical acceptance in our dangerous world. Your view of ministry will be altered by this poignant tale of coming face-to-face with our God who loves boundlessly and has no enemies.

Vacation Bible School
We warmly invite you to join us for this year’s Vacation Bible School, Project Restoration: Mending God’s World. This special event spans five days and will bring together children, youth, and adults to explore how we can all become agents of restoration in God’s world.
Inspired by the storytelling and artwork of Daniel Erlander, our Vacation Bible School aims to immerse us in God’s beautiful vision of a world where everyone is nourished, healed, forgiven, connected through prayer, and rejuvenated through rest. Each day will be centered around one of five themes: Feed, Heal, Forgive, Pray, and Rest, all rooted in meaningful Bible stories that guide us in living out our faith in our daily lives.
Through interactive activities in Art, Music, Science and Nature, Service Learning, and Storytelling, participants of all ages will deepen their faith, build connections, and discover practical ways to serve and care for others.
Operation Restoration is more than just a week of activities; it’s an opportunity to join in God’s ongoing work of healing and hope. We are thrilled to embark on this journey together! The program welcomes children aged 3 (who are potty trained) to 11 years old. Youth aged 12-18 are encouraged to volunteer. Meals will be provided with a free will offering.
Join us on Sunday, June 14th from 12:00-3:00pm (lunch provided) and Monday to Thursday from 4:30-7:30pm (dinner provided). We can’t wait to share this experience with you!
