Caught Up In God’s Grace Beloved friends, What do Ash Wednesday services, a hospital visit and an AA meeting have in common? On the surface, perhaps nothing. But this past Wednesday they were seamlessly woven together creating one of the most holy starts of Lent I have ever been gifted. It would have been enough to gather as we did […] The post Caught Up In God’s Grace appeared first on Trinity Episcopal Church in Downtown Toledo.

Open Table Toledo One of Trinity's newest ministries, Open Table Toledo, officially gets underway this spring. The mission of OT is unlike anything else in our community. We exist to offer long-term, consistent, supportive relationships to youth who age out of Lucas County's foster care system. These 18+-year-old young adults are among the most invisible and at-risk people in our community. Removed from their families for their own safety and placed into foster care, they reach "official" adulthood without being safely reunited with family or being adopted. They're alone, adrift in a very big world. And that's where OT comes in. We organize small groups of 6-8 volunteers. They commit to meeting weekly with one young foster alum, giving encouragement and support to that person as they define and work toward goals that yield a flourishing, sustainable life . We aim to change lives one week at a time. (PS: Your life will transform, too.) Volunteer training begins in early April. Contact Roberta Durham for information: roberta.deboer@gmail.com
Toledo Streets Newspaper A big Fat-Tuesday thank you to everyone who came out for a delicious pancake supper and night of dancing at Trinity! We joyously raised over $400 for our ministry partner, Toledo Streets Newspaper! And a special shout out to Jane Bueche and Beth Oyler for their hard work in the kitchen to provide us an amazing meal!!

Actors Collaborative Performance: The Velocity of Autumn Actors Collaborative Toledo in association with The Valentine Theatre present The Velocity of Autumn by Eric Coble to benefit Jewish Family Service of Toledo. The stage reading, directed by Jeffrey Albright, will be performed March 16 and 17. Each performance will be followed by a meet and greet and Q&A session with Levinson and Causman. The Velocity of Autumn swirls around Alexandra, an 80-year-old artist in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her volcanic passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris, who returns after 20 years, crawls through Alexandra’s second-floor window and becomes the family’s unlikely mediator. No sooner are the words “Hi, Mom” uttered than the emotional bombs start detonating. The Velocity of Autumn is a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life. Showtimes for The Velocity of Autumn are March 16 at 8 p.m. and March 17 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased at www.valentinetheatre.com.
