the mission of Trinity and its impact on a new parish building at 68/74 Trinity Place. Your voice is important to this process, which will last six months. To prepare for the conversation, reflection boards have been installed in Trinity Church, St. Paul’s Chapel, and the Parish Center at 2 Rector St., where you may share your thoughts and reflections on the parish mission and core values. What you write on the boards will help shape the major themes at the February 28 charette. This intitial charette, or gathering of all stakeholders in a project where diverse thoughts, hopes, and ideas are used to generate solutions, will be led by the Rev. Dr. William Lupfer and Trinity’s architects from Pelli Clarke Pelli, who will be using your ideas to create a mission-focused design for a new building at 68/74 Trinity. Stay tuned for more information on how the charettes will unfold. Dates and times for additional charettes will be announced soon. RSVP for the February 28 charette by calling 212.602.0736.

Vestry ElectionTuesday, April 7, 2015 | 4 pm to 8 pm

Trinity Church

The provision of the Ordinances specifying who may vote at the annual Vestry election reads as follows:

“Persons Entitled to Vote: All persons who on the date of an annual election shall have attained the age of 18 years and who, for the space of one year preceding such annual election, shall have been duly enrolled on the Parish’s records as members of the Congregation and shall have partaken of the Holy Communion within said year in the Parish and shall have contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift of any amount in the preceding year, and no other persons, shall be entitled to vote at such annual election.”

Please note: The requirement that an eligible voter has contributed to the support of the Parish by a recorded gift in any amount in the year preceding the election was added by the Vestry to the Ordinances last year as part of the comprehensive revision conducted in consultation with the Congregational Council. It is a common requirement to be a voting member of an Episcopal Church. The Vestry intends the requirement to be applied liberally to include any financial gift or pledge or fulfillment of any pledge or bequest or intention to make a bequest that is recorded at any time in the preceding year up to and including the moment prior to the casting of the voter’s ballot.

Please note further: The register of eligible voters is available for inspection in the Office of the Rector, 120 Broadway, 38th floor, and a member of the congregation may confirm that his or her name is included on the register by emailing tmatveyeva@trinitywallstreet.org. Every person entitled to vote at the annual election whose name has not been entered on the register of voters may be added to the rolls by making an application to the Rector at the above email address stating briefly the facts supporting his or her inclusion. Application may also be made in person the on the day of the election at the polling place in Trinity Church.

Mail Ballots: For the first time this year ballots may be submitted by mail. Ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be mailed to all persons whose names are listed on the register on or about March 23, 2015. In addition ballots and prepaid reply envelopes will be made available in Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel during the three weeks preceding the election. Persons submitting a mail ballot must print legibly and then sign his or her name on the back of the reply envelope so that eligibility to vote can be determined from the register prior to the reply envelope being opened and the ballot submitted for counting.

attention was obvious; sinking deep into my spirit was intense and intentional. Years later, during the darkest years of my own marriage, I remembered that scripture. Peace rippled through me; my spirit settled as I heard “Shhh; I’m in control; I got this covered.” This scripture is now imprinted in 100 point type size and set in a dark wood picture frame that sits on my nightstand next to my bed. At sunrise when I’m already apprehensive about the day or at midnight when I’m exhausted by the day, I look at my reminder—He’s got this covered, too. —Regina Jacobs
