(Enter by the door between the ramp and the entrance to St. Christopher’s Mission House, to the west of the main church entrance.) After a 5-minute introduction, we pray in silence for 25 minutes, concluding with the St. Francis Prayer. Whether you are a Christian, from another faith tradition or no faith tradition; an experienced practitioner of meditation, or just beginning— all are welcome.

On four Sunday mornings, we’ll discuss Advent in Narnia: Reflections for the Season by Heidi Haverkamp. Copies of the book may be purchased in the back of the church or online HERE.

With its enchanting themes of snow and cold, light and darkness, meals and gifts, temptation and sin, forgiveness and hope―and even an appearance by Father Christmas―C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe fits naturally into the Advent season. As the reader seeks a storied king and anticipates the glorious coming of Christmas, these twenty-eight devotions alternate between Scripture and passages from the novel to prompt meditation on Advent themes. Each devotion also includes questions for reflection. Readers will ultimately come to know God better while journeying through Narnia.

Our neighbors on 79th Street are offering a three-week discussion of Take this Bread: A Radical Conversion by Sara Miles. We are invited to join them on October 10 and 17 in the Parish Center at 406 East 80th St, and then on October 24 in the church (79th Street and 1st Avenue), when the author Sara Miles will be in person.

Early one morning, for no earthly reason, Sara Miles, raised an atheist, wandered into a church [St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church] received communion, and found herself transformed–embracing a faith she’d once scorned. A lesbian left-wing journalist who’d covered revolutions around the world, Miles didn’t discover a religion that was about angels or good behavior or piety; her faith centered on real hunger, real food, and real bodies. Before long, she turned the bread she ate at communion into tons of groceries, piled on the church’s altar to be given away. Within a few years, she and the people she served had started nearly a dozen food pantries in the poorest parts of their city.

Take This Bread is rich with real-life Dickensian characters–church ladies, millionaires, schizophrenics, bishops, and thieves–all blown into Miles’s life by the relentless force of her newfound calling. Here, in this achingly beautiful, passionate book, is the living communion of Christ.

St. Francis Day is October 4, but we also celebrate the faith and witness of Francis on the nearest Sunday, which this year is October 6.

On the night of October 3, the eve of St. Francis Day, Franciscans around the world gather to remember Francis's passing through death into new life. "Transitus" comes from the Latin for "passage," "crossing," or "going over." The simple liturgy recalls the words and faith of Francis and helps us remember that we needn't be afraid of "Sister Death." Francis greeted death with a quiet joy, giving thanks for his community, and even asking that a friend bring him some of her almond cookies, his favorite.

Join us in person at the Church of the Holy Trinity and for a reception following the service or join us online at https://facebook.com/holytrinitynyc.

The service will be led by Brothers of the Society of St. Francis and members of the Third Order Society of St. Francis.

A guide for our final discussion is HERE.

Guides for reading which we used earlier this month are below:

Guide for Part III

During the month of September, we’ll be discussing the recent book by David Brooks, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen (2023). As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.”

And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to?

David Brooks is a Canadian-born American conservative political and cultural commentator who writes for The New York Times. He has worked as a film critic for The Washington Times, a reporter and later op-ed editor for The Wall Street Journal, a senior editor at The Weekly Standard from its inception, a contributing editor at Newsweek, and The Atlantic Monthly, in addition to working as a commentator on NPR and the PBS NewsHour.

Join us for Middle Eastern snacks as we learn about the situation of Christianity in Iraq, presented by parishioner Joe Lipuma, with stories and pictures from his visit to Iraq in May 2024.

Joe serves on the board of SWIC (Stand with Iraqi Christians). SWIC believes loving presence, and listening, are the first steps in creating lasting and fruitful friendships. Since 2015, SWIC has been growing just such relationships with Iraqi Christian communities in this process that Archbishop Michael Lewis has described as a Ministry of Presence. In this approach, we acknowledge that we are just as desperately in need of Iraqi Christians’ extraordinary sense of faith and resilience as they are in need of our material assistance to rebuild their war-torn communities.
