Women Who Stayed: Women Who Wrote the Bible
Holy Trinity's Women Who Stayed returns January 13 at 7pm in McKenna Hall. Please join us as we study alongside the Women Who Stayed at the Church of St. Xavier (NYC) for an 8-week bible study for extraordinary times. Lizzie Berne DeGear, PhD will peel back the invisibility cloak that has hidden from our sight the ancestral women who wrote the bible, and we will listen to their wise and powerful voices as we find our own. This is an online course with an in-person discussion on Monday evenings at 7pm led by Liz McCloskey and Jane Varner Malhotra. There is a fee to participate. Thanks to the HT Phoebe Fund, Holy Trinity participants will receive a discount and the cost of the course is $75. At registration please use discount code PHOEBE. Register
You will view recorded lectures and have assigned readings prior to the Monday gatherings. There is not a virtual option for the discussion portion of the course.
Just Faith: This Land Is Not Our Own
Virtual; Thursdays beginning January 16 at 7pm
We will offer the Just Faith: The Land Is Not Our Own on Thursdays beginning January 16. This is an 8 week series that inspires and equips congregations and communities to stand alongside Native communities in working for justice and repair. There is no fee to participate, but we do ask that participants commit to attending a minimum of 6 sessions. For registration information, please email aklick@trinity.org
Black History Month Speaker: Prof. Maurice Jackson
The History Team will welcome Prof. Maurice Jackson on February 5 as part of our annual celebration of Black History Month. Jackson is the author of Rhythms of Resistance and Resilience: How Black Washingtonians Used Music and Sports in the Fight for Equality. We will also enjoy performances by the talented students at Duke Ellington School for the Arts.
Weekend Suppers in Georgetown
For twelve years, Holy Trinity has joined other Georgetown churches to serve hospitality and meals for guests every Saturday. Churches rotate cooking responsibilities, and all dinners are served at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Georgetown. There has been an abundance of volunteers arriving at the Saturday Suppers, and unfortunately our model does not accommodate the large numbers. Only those who have signed up on the Sign Up Genius for a particular Saturday will find an opportunity to volunteer that day. Please sign up through the Social Justice Tuesday eLetter or email hdomenici@trinity.org.
Accompanying Returning Citizens
Over the past year, a group of parishioners has been exploring relationships with the Frederick Douglass Project, Freedom house and Friends of Guest House. We will continue to develop these relationships in 2025. Through the Frederick Douglass Project parishioners are invited to visit the DC Jail in person for a conversation with the incarcerated men and women.
We will participate virtually with Bent Correctional on January 22 from 6-8pm and will participate in person on March 24 from 1-3:30pm. To sign up for one or both of these gatherings, register on the website and indicate you are with Holy Trinity. If you would like to join the email list for updates on this work, please email aklick@trinity.org.
Ways to Help
Direct service allows parishioners a chance to help, which is how St. Ignatius described service – nothing lofty, simply helping and working side-by-side with others. This kind of service allows us to form relationships, show solidarity, and learn and work with others, particularly the poor and vulnerable. It also allows us to share the life that God has given us.
