Holy Trinity Episcopal Church is a welcoming congregation offering spiritual sanctuary to all, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or socio-economic class; and to all persons who have felt marginalized in any way. We recognize each individual as a unique child of God. As we move forward with the work of this church, we commit ourselves to
making justice and inclusivity a reality in this congregation and the world.
The Saints of God
! Every year as All Saints’ Sunday arrives on the first weekend of November, the power of the occasion transports me. The readings, the hymns and anthems, the mystic communion we share with the faithful from all times and places—the whole observance lifts me beyond the confines of myself.
Much of the reason, I know, has to do with the sheer expanse of what we mean by the communion of saints. Who are these who have known and made known the love of Jesus throughout the ages and whose witness inspires ours today?
For your own meditation, I offer the following merely as a sampling. And what better way to begin than with these words of the ancient seer John, whose vision from the seventh chapter of his Revelation illuminates every celebration of this great feast:
I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne…
From Dunedin in the Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Polynesia… to Navajoland in the Episcopal Church, USA… to Bloemfontein in the Province of Southern Africa… to Canterbury in the Church of England… to Taejon in the Church of Korea… to The Arctic in the Province of Rupert’s Land, Canada… to Myitkyina in the Church of Burma… !
…to Oxford, Ohio. (Continues …)

Including Antony of Egypt, early founder of monasticism who fasted and prayed in the solitude of the Egyptian desert… and Agnes, child of 12 who stood true to her faith under torture and martyrdom… and Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, and Richard Hooker, theological giants… and Mary Magdalene, disciple who followed Jesus to his cross and first discovered his empty tomb… and William Wilberforce, wealthy Member of the House of Commons whose evangelical crusade led to the outright abolition of slavery in all British dominions… and the Holy Innocents, the countless children slaughtered by King Herod after Jesus’ birth… and John Chrysostom, John Donne, George Herbert, and Phillips Brooks, preachers and poets…

Taizé Service at Holy Trinity ~ Sunday November 9, 4:30 pm
The Taizé Community is an ecumenical monastic order in Taizé, Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy in eastern France. It is composed of more than 100 brothers from Protestant and Catholic traditions from some thirty countries across the globe. Taizé (pronounced “teh-ZAY”) worship is a participatory prayer service designed to achieve a contemplative state through music, song, readings, and silence. Short chants and responses in repetition give the service a meditative character. Silence along with candle light and chant offer a deepening perception of the presence of the Holy Spirit and have attracted people of all ages and especially young people world wide. Holy Trinity will offer a Taizé worship service on the afternoon of Sunday, November 9, at 4:30. The choir of Trinity Episcopal Church in Hamilton, who have a history of Taizé practice, will come to Holy Trinity and be joined by musicians from our parish to introduce Taizé to the Oxford community. The service will include both choral and congregational singing as well as some instrumental music. A new composition for choir and instruments in celebration of the life of Kathryn Hamilton will be performed as part of the service. There will be a wine and cheese reception in the Undercroft after the service. We invite all Holy Trinity parishioners to attend. Please feel free to invite friends to experience the calming and renewing spirituality of Taizé. !Empty Bowls ~ Saturday, November 8, 11 am - 2 pm
! This year, Empty Bowls will be held on Saturday, November 8th from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Oxford Community Arts Center. How it works: At the luncheon, guests choose from amongst a collection of beautiful bowls created, decorated and donated by Miami University and Talawanda High School students and Oxford area potters. Their bowls are then filled with their choice of soups made by local cooks. Luncheon guests then keep their bowls to use or display at home and to serve as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. Homemade bread and desserts, and beverages donated by local businesses will also be served. Cost: $10; children 10 and under may choose and fill a bowl for free. We hope you will join us for this wonderful event!We invite you to: VOLUNTEER to make soup (recipes provided), bread, desserts, or work the day of the event. ATTEND the luncheon!

Construction Courier 11/1/14
As of this writing, about a week before the third project meeting of October, things are moving so fast that they are hard to summarize. We’ve lost another week or so to rain. Work continued inside where it could, but even under-roof and with most of the glass in, dry-walling and painting were slowed down by the weather. Underlayment and the tile flooring should be finished by the time you read this. Cabinets and other woodwork will quickly follow. However, a break in the weather and advice from the geotech consultants allowed the patio to be poured, so that more progress on the courtyard, walks, and parking can begin. Most of the leaking from the bell tower has been stopped, and the sources of part of the remaining problem have been identified. We hope that these will be corrected relatively soon. Yet another stage of making the bell tower more accessible and more permanently repaired is on hold for the future. The recent rains and the indefinite time for securing occupancy permits after construction is completed are pushing the “ready to go” date out somewhat. Most recent estimate is early December. Remember: if you are taking pictures, please share them with all of us. You can send them electronically to Gayle. She is saving all of them in a computer file so that we can later put the “story” together: <[email protected]> Susan and Mel, co-chairs
Mark Your Calendars: The New building will be dedicated at the 10:30 service on the 1st Sunday of Advent, November 30, when Bishop Breidenthal visits.
