San Esteban Anniversary Sun at 3pm

SanEstebanLogoFINALaHoly Trinity folks are invited to join with the congregation of San Esteban at 3 p.m.  this coming Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of their congregation sharing space at Holy Trinity.
Bishop Philip Poole will be on hand. (The congregation first started worshiping at St. Stephen-in-the-Fields parish on College Street, and have continued as part of a different episcopal area from us.)
For those newer to HT,   the two congregations signed an agreement entitled ‘En Amistad’ (In Friendship) when we entered into this
relationship 10 years ago.  Sara Boyles was instrumental in bringing this about.  Nancy Whitla, Sherman and I sit on the steering committee, along with Irma Romero, Carmen Garcia and Fr Maurice Francois.
In case you want to know more about St Stephen, the church’s first martyr,  there are  two whole chapters about him -Acts 6 and 7.
He was the first named of seven deacons appointed to see to the fair distribution of food in the community, because the widows were being neglected.  He also stuck his neck out with the religious authorities, hence the martyrdom.

P.S.   The Feast of the Epiphany will be celebrated at the 10:30 a.m. service this Sunday.
