As we begin our third year together as pastor and people, I am grateful to look back
with you on 2019 as a year of growth in several areas, and of faithfulness in many en-
deavors. The year did not pass without some surprises and disappointments of course,
but I hope we learned from them, and that with forgiveness and forbearance we will all
be stronger for them.
I am so grateful for our excellent professional staff who serve us all day by day. The
Reverend Robert Osborne joined us last March, and has been a wonderful addition to
our team. I appreciate his friendship, his wise counsel, his patience, his willingness to
learn, his faithful preaching, and the genuine care he takes with our parishioners. At-
tending both Robert’s ordination to the priesthood and his marriage to Caroline gave me great joy in this past year.
The Reverend Jeremy Hole, our venerable Priest Emeritus, has served Holy Trinity in various roles for nearly four
decades. I am grateful for his gift of teaching, his holiness of life, his sweet and gentle spirit, and his wise counsel.
Dr. John Lowe continues to be perhaps our greatest evangelist, packing the church for various musical concerts and
events month after month and Sunday by Sunday. I am grateful for his friendship, his truly amazing talent, and his
willingness to be flexible when things sometimes (or often!) change at the last minute. John’s assistant organist, Dr.
Chris Goddard, along with our gifted choir scholars, all of our excellent volunteer musicians, and our Sunday evening
folk choir, make our weekly worship beautiful and joyful. Though I understand it’s falsely attributed to St. Augus-
tine, the saying holds true here at Holy Trinity: “those who sing pray twice.” My deep thanks to John and our entire
music ministry team for bringing so many to know the love of God through music and song.
Sarah Larsen wears two hats for one paycheck, serving cheerfully both as Parish Administrator and Financial Admin-
istrator. Her attitude each day is professional and helpful, and I am grateful for her loyalty and teamwork. Assisted
by Robert Bala in the mornings, and Joyce Rolle each afternoon, we are faithfully served in communications and fi-
nancial documentation.
Jaxon Crews, our Director of Family Ministries, joined us in June and hit the ground running! He is a teachable
teacher, a mature believer, and a very talented musician. He has a heart for children, teens, and their families. We
have been blessed to have him – and his new bride Elizabeth – with us at Holy Trinity this year!
Merle Hitchner, you all know, is a man of many skills, and great integrity. He and those who work with him love
Holy Trinity, and under his leadership they show that love in innumerable ways day by day. With Merle as our long-
time Senior Sexton, our buildings – and our people – are cared for with grace and care. Thank you, Sir, for your ded-
ication and service to this parish.
Others faithfully serve us quietly and without pay. Among the many, I think of Lorraine Holston who keeps our par-
ish library orderly, up to date, and easy to get around. Carolyn Horter looks after our growing collection of historical
documents and other archived treasures. Kim Curtis has lovingly picked up the mantle of funerals and other recep-
tions; Joyce Crawford and her delivery volunteers turn Sunday altar flowers into weekly bouquets for those in need
of a cheerful reminder their parish holds them in their thoughts and prayers; and Cyndee Park and her army of volun-
teers decorate the church for major feasts and holy days.
Time does not permit me to go on about our excellent lay worship leaders, our front desk and other office volunteers,
our vigilant ushers and greeters, our dedicated altar guild… So many of you come here day by day and week by
week to serve quietly and to share your gifts of excellence and expertise with the rest of us. I am grateful for you all.

From the Rector
I am approaching the anniversary of my first-year as an associate priest at Holy Trinity.
Recently I have started reflecting on my experience serving at our parish. So much has
happened in one year! It is hard to separate out the life events from my ministry experienc-
es. But perhaps that is part of the point. Ordained ministry intersects with day-to-day life in
such a way that the lines between work and the rest of life are very, very blurry. Perhaps,
looking back on years of priestly ministry, it will always be the case that it is hard to sepa-
rate life from ministry. Maybe that is the first lesson of my first year as a priest.
Another lesson is the importance of working as a team. This became abundantly clear to
me whenever Fr. Fletcher left town for vacation or other ministerial responsibilities. Step-
ping into that leadership role would have been close to impossible without the great team
of staff and volunteers we have at Holy Trinity, in addition to the graciousness of our parishioners. My time here has
given me the opportunity to see how a healthy team works and what an incredible difference that makes for the
church as a whole.
To be honest, I could list lesson after lesson – how to preach week after week, how to conduct a funeral, how to en-
counter and overcome unexpected obstacles, how to try a new idea but also be okay if it fails – but the summary of
them all is that I feel incredibly blessed to have this time here. I know several newly ordained priests who were thrust
straight into being rectors, and I struggle to think how difficult that would be right out of seminary. The learning
curve must be vertical!
Above all, as I reflect on this past year, I want you all to know what a gift it is to the wider Church for Holy Trinity
to raise up members of the clergy. Associate positions are mostly designed to assist the rector in the running of a par-
ish, but also to train members of the clergy to eventually go and serve as rectors elsewhere.
Did you know that, as of 2019, the average age of an Episcopal priest is in the low 60’s? We are racing toward a seri-
ous demographic crisis! When you, as a church, welcome, support, and train new priests, you are equipping them to
serve the Lord better, longer, and in a healthier manner. What a gift to the Church! I hope that someday, long after
my time at Holy Trinity, the parish will continue to foster the growth of newly ordained priests, and send them out to
serve with gladness and singleness of heart.

(Continuing from page 2)
Last, but not least, my sincere thanks and devotion to my strongest supporter and best friend, my wife – Sarah, who
has made my being rector here infinitely easier. She praises me far more than I deserve when something goes right;
she encourages me when I’m down; she suggests a way or two out of something when I have mis-stepped; she prays
for me; and she is my faithful partner in ministry here at Holy Trinity. Thank you for welcoming her as you have
welcomed me.
It is a privilege to welcome new members of all ages and family-types. As membership in the wider Episcopal
Church and across the other Main-Line denominations in the United States continues to diminish, Holy Trinity – and
the Diocese of Florida – continue to maintain measurable growth. This is a sign of life and of hopefulness. People
come here seeking community, seeking the Word of God in a relevant way, seeking the peace of the sacraments.
Thank you for helping me welcome newcomers in our midst week by week.
We want very much to pay careful attention to all of our parishioners and members – those who have been here for
many years, and those who are just making initial visits or early commitments to parish membership.
There is a plan afoot to begin quarterly “Aging with Grace” presentations on Sundays, which I hope will speak to the
needs and concerns of the older members of our congregation – please watch for an announcement about our first
such opportunity coming up soon.
What a blessing it is to see each familiar face – and each new face; to hear the laughter – and to dry the tears – of
young children, and to witness the quest for discipleship in Christ in each life, seasoned and new.
Last year you re-elected three of four outgoing Vestry members to second terms: Theresa Beachy, Bobbie Hall, and
John Jopling. They were joined by Anne Seraphine, who just completed her first year of Vestry service. Serving
their third year in 2020 are Ann Cawthon, Senior Warden Laura Gruber, Marilyn Peterson, and Bob Stripling. Our
thanks to Michele Markant, and to Junior Warden Dan Boyd for their years of Vestry service, ending this month. We
are also grateful for the service of our Diocesan Delegates – serving us the past two years, Ginny Maurer and Ray
Stanwix-Hay, and for another year ahead, Paul Fessenden and Janice Hamilton. Thanks, too, to Terry Fleming for
stepping in and serving as an Alternate Delegate at this year’s Diocesan Convention a couple of weeks ago.
With the excellent wisdom and advice our Finance Committee and our parish treasurer Linda Gendreau, we are in
good hands and looking at a bright and hopeful future. Giving towards ministry expenses in 2020 has been very gen-
erous thus far, and I am grateful for your investments – both big and more modest – in the day to day operations of
our parish. It is my personal hope that we will all experience changed lives in this place from year to year, such that
we won’t be able to help but give more and more with cheerful hearts for the work of God’s kingdom. The Vestry,
staff, and I pledge to spend carefully and wisely, and to be good stewards, with you all, of this wonderful parish and
its service to the world in Christ’s name.
I also want to commend to you the work and ministry of the Holy Trinity Foundation, which has a newly-expanded
Board, appointed by the Vestry for staggered terms. You will find several exciting, and I think gracious, things in
President Jim Salter’s report. I’m grateful to Jim for his years of leadership and vision; and I’m grateful to those who
serve alongside him to watch and to invest those funds carefully and faithfully for the good of the church.
Buildings and Grounds: Our venerable properties are aging and in growing need of maintenance and care. As happy
and fortunate residents of the Sunshine State (of which I myself am a proud native), we routinely deal with water is-
sues, the threat of storm damage, mold and mildew, leaks and other roofing needs, security, aging mechanical sys-
tems, and the basic stewardship and care of the properties God has entrusted to us. Even our reasonably new 25 year
old church will need a new roof. I understand our beautiful pipe organ is due for more than a routine check-up – an
overhaul, really. We are blessed and fortunate, and we are also called to responsible stewardship of all these things
for ourselves and for those who come after us. (Continues on page 5)

I could talk about this wonderful place and faith community for hours, but I want to close with a word of exhortation
about corporate Worship. We have a distinct privilege to gather in this hallowed space to worship our God freely in
the vast heritage of Anglican tradition and local custom. We are free to pray, free to lift holy hands, free to sing and
to love out loud, free to welcome the stranger and to bring along neighbors and friends. What a gift we have in these
freedoms!
I want to urge each and every person to worship here as frequently and as regularly as possible in the year ahead. It
takes upwards of three weeks to form a habit – I know we don’t always want to get up and come here week by week
– but it only takes about three days to slide back from a regular habit. Let’s not be sliders!
Let’s be habitual worshipers, valuing our freedoms, cherishing and caring for this sacred space, loving one another in
the Body of Christ, forgiving, encouraging, and bringing hope and cheer to those around us for Jesus’ sake. This is
God’s holy house of prayer. Let all be welcome here in the Name of Christ, and may we all gather here regularly for
the praise of his holy Name.
Yours faithfully,
The Reverend Canon J. Fletcher Montgomery

The Family Ministries at Holy Trinity has had a
great start to the year! In January, the Holy Trinity
Youth Group had a lock-in (where we enjoyed
food, games, and a movie and s’mores in the new
children’s play garden) followed by Youth Sun-
day. The students worked diligently to participate
in the service by playing chimes, saxophone, read-
ing a lesson from The Jesus Storybook Bible to the
children in attendance, and giving a sermon. I am
very proud of the service the students helped
facilitate.
Dee Dugger has started the Solemn Communion
class. This is a great opportunity for the students
involved to learn what it means to take communion.
I am thrilled that the students will get such thorough
instruction concerning the sacrament.
We are already looking forward to the Summer:
Vacation Bible School planning has begun and we
are excited to hold a week-long VBS around the
theme of creation on the week of July 20-24. The
students will learn about the creation account in
Genesis and the implications it has for them as im-
age-bearers of God.
The Youth Group will be engaging in local mis-
sion projects all throughout the summer and already
have mission projects with Family Promise and the
Alachua Conservation Trust on the calendar for

We are excited to announce the creation of a new
program at Holy Trinity, the Holy Trinity
Immigrant Ministry. Fr. Montgomery has
approved this program as has the Vestry.
This ministry is biblically based (“I was hungry
and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave
me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Matt 25:35), and reflects our baptismal covenant
(“Will you strive for justice and peace among all
people, and respect the dignity of every human
being?”)
Some projects we might consider include: being
informed about immigrant issues and helping
dispel myths, supporting the work of the Rural
Women’s Health Project in northcentral Florida,
contacting our elected representatives and
advocating on behalf of immigrant issues, visiting
detainees at Baker Detention Center, and tutoring
new immigrants in conversational English. Also,
the Office of Refugee Resettlement has recently
established a center in Gainesville for unaccompa-
nied minors. It will be able to accommodate up to
sixteen children, and we hope to be able to volun-
teer at this center.
Fr. Osborne will be the clergy liaison for the Holy
Trinity Immigrant Ministry program. For more
information, contact him or Richard Powell
([email protected]). There will also be
information at the Outreach Ministry Day on
February 23.

Veterans Ministry: Letters of Appreciation
What’s happening in the Gainesville Community
Services Department by Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church this month?
Through the Holy Trinity Church Veteran
Ministry, which visits veteran patients at the Mal-
colm Randall VA Medical Center (the busiest VA
Hospital in the USA) each Sunday for pastoral care
and communion, now for over 12 years, was recent-
ly thanked by the Department of Veterans Affairs
for its outstanding devices and gifts to Voluntary
Services and patients. Eucharistic Visitors, Dr.
Tom Hawkins and Emy Collins are the partici-
pants of this great ministry! So, when you see these
two outstanding persons in church, give them a hug!
Attached are the letters of appreciation. Feel proud
knowing you are a member of Holy Trinity Church
and that you care about our nation's veterans.
Thanks be to God! (Letters on page 12)

Where Thanks Are Due
Both Easter and Christmas are joyous times and
having a beautifully decorated church adds to the
festivities. Our church lends itself to being glori-
ously festive with brilliant red poinsettias at Christ-
mas and gloriously elegant white lilies at Easter.
BUT—it requires work and it also requires a lot of
helpful hands. When our call for volunteers goes
out some weeks prior to each holiday, we have had
a very wonderful response. We usually have a
range of parishioners—old and young, men and
women (I should say “ladies and gentlemen”) and
also children and grandchildren. Everybody helps,
and this brief article is a sincere “thank you” to
those helpers. An additional note of appreciation
goes to the kind gentleman who always brings us a
goodly supply of pastries – great for keeping energy
going and helpful for folks who have skipped break-
fast due to our early-morning start.

Ministry Spotlights
Decorating the Church for Easter
Yes, it’s me again, asking (in a polite manner) for
help in decorating the church for our lovely Easter
service. After all the weeks of Lent with no flow-
ers brightening the church, Easter comes forth in
glorious fashion – lovely Easter lilies accompanied
by other white flowers and greenery, celebrating the
resurrection of Christ. For certain our church lends
itself to being beautifully decorated – but it takes
many hands to create this most memorable effect.
And it is not just vases to fill for the window ledges
and flowers for the baptismal font and candle
wreaths, there are ladders to climb to reach the
high windows ledges. So some male help is greatly
needed. We will decorate on Easter Saturday, be-
ginning at 9 a.m. and likely be finished well before
noon. Kindly let us know that you will be there to
lend a hand. Please contact Cyndee Park
(378-3880).
