As God’s people, we will share the love of God in a way that nurtures body, mind and spirit. Demonstrating God’s love for the world, we will serve a diverse population and accept one another without reservations. By including all people as one family in worship and service to God, we are all empowered and inspired by
the Spirit to continue the work of Jesus Christ.

A Message About the Portfolio Committee
Dear Friends, As we all know, Trinity will soon be engaged in a process of discernment about its future and clergy leadership. The first step in this process is to collect information from the congregation as widely as possible. There are two big questions for this committee: “Who are we as people of faith?” and “What should be our goals for the future?”Already the Vestry and some of its members have worked hard to think though our process of discernment. The following volunteers have agreed to serve in this first phase of listening to the congregation, as members of the Portfolio Committee. It is a diverse and responsible group: Brian Bargiel, Michael Dean, Claude Garciacelay, Mary Genis, Molly Kellogg, Kate McDonald, Bruce Rick, Ben Smith, Phylene Wiggins, and Ann Jaqua as Vestry Liaison. There will be many ways for members of the congregation to share their views with the Portfolio Committee: questionnaires, interviews, and planned conversations about our various parish activities. Your input is extremely important, and we’ll keep you informed of every opportunity to participate. Most of all, we should enter into this process with prayer that we--all of us at Trinity--can discern what our journey forward should be.Faithfully, Clark Roof, Trinity Portfolio Committee Chair
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION CONFESSION is an opportunity in preparation for Lent to make an honest inventory of our lives in order to be reminded of God’s love which sets us free through forgiveness.

TODAY IN CHURCH SCHOOLChildren at Trinity meet most Sundays for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program (CGS). Since each Level of the program covers a range of ages, often several lessons are offered each Sunday, with most children taking part in only one. Today Level I will work with the model of Jerusalem, and continue work with the materials connecting Jesus’ image of the Good Shepherd with the celebration of Eucharist. Level II will do further work with the materials for the City of Jerusalem, and will work with the Good Shepherd materials to reflect on the Hired Hand. Level III begin work on their Pysanky eggs.

Trinity Middle East Peace MinistryWalking and Praying with Churches in the Middle East – Lenten StudyThe present conflicts and political instabilities in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and the Palestine have had a profound impact upon Christian communities.

MUSIC NEWSContinuing throughout Lent, the organ voluntaries (prelude and postlude) will all be compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach. Perhaps it is this great composer’s Lenten works that hold the greatest understanding of Christian theology and truth? Chorale-based works reflecting the liturgical lessons of each week will be offered, in addition to free works including a lesser-known Toccata in A Minor using Trinity’s fine Yamaha piano. During Passiontide, the Bach “cycle” will culminate with the only two, six-voice fugues that Bach ever wrote: Ricercar a 6 (from Musikalisches Opfer) and Aus tiefer Not schrei’ ich zu dir.
Holy Baptism is a traditional part of our Easter Eve Vigil.

TRINITY MEN’S RETREAT 2015May 22-24 at Westmont College CampusEMBRACING MYSTERYLed by Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of Rabbi Rami’s Guide to God.We will structure the retreat around the Daily Office and meditation times and start after check-in on Friday afternoon with a short intro to Westmont and then dinner, followed by Rami’s introduction to the nature of Mystery, as portrayed in Job and Ecclesiastes, on Friday evening.The rest of the weekend will be spent accessing the Mystery by “entering the texts with our bodies.” From Job: “In my flesh I see God.” Rami wants to help us discover “where the wildness is for us right now.” We on the planning committee want this to be not so much an intellectual discussion about God, but rather, an experience of God. This is why we have invited Rami to be with us.We plan to welcome 30 men to the retreat, and reservations are now open for Trinity men. The cost, including five meals and two nights’ lodging in a private room with shared bath, is about $200. Please email [email protected] to reserve a space, and send a check for $100, made out to Trinity, to lock in your reservation. After April 12, if there are spaces left, we will open it to the larger Santa Barbara community, where we already know there is interest because of Rami.We hope you can join us! --Mark B, for the planning committee: Michael Arnold, John Draper, Bob Richard, and Dennis Wylie
