Parish News

Members of Holy Trinity Anglican Church joined with four area Episcopal churches for a combined service of Holy Communion at the historic St. John's Church in Dresden, Maine, one of the state's earliest parishes. Pictured at the altar (l to r) are Father David Matson of Augusta's St. Barnabas, Fr. Bruce Alexander of St. John's, and Deacon Kalish of Holy Trinity. This is the second of such combined annual services, organized by Fr. Alexander. Holy Trinity feels a special debt to Fr. Alexander, who joins us in Waterville once a month, together with his wife Marjorie, to offer Holy Communion.

The Dresden service used the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Several of us noted the pleased comments among the Episcopal attendees about the  use of a traditional service. "I know all of them by heart," noted one lady, who had been steeped in these texts and prayers, she said, since childhood.

Thanks to a generous grant from the National Church, Waterville's Holy Trinity Anglican Church was able to join the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce.
This also allowed us to participate in the city's annual "Taste of Waterville" Festival on Wednesday, August 3rd which draws thousands to the the downtown area. Food concessions abound, restaurants offer specials, and the streets are filled with live music, professional dancers, and lots of fun-seekers.
St. Thomas Anglican Church of Ellsworth offered us the use of a large tent, which accommodated not only our table, but that of a nearby exhibiter which had no shelter. Good thing... several sun-showers briefly darkened what was otherwise a lovely, sun-filled summer day.
On hand to staff the table were the Finleys, and Shyla Spear, along with Deacon Ed and Linda Kalish. It was a long and pleasant day. We gave out a number of church brochures, and engaged in many conversations. We thank God, and our Church brethren, for this exciting (and we hope fruitful) time of outreach. See Photos of this event.

Deacon Kalish will be recording some mini-sermons at Fairfield's CATV studio, a public access channel.

Later in the day he will meet with Father Jack Dickenson, a new young priest who has very recently joined the staff of the Roman Catholic Corpus Christi Parish. This parish is kindly allowing our church to use the Side Chapel of the Sacred Heart Church of Waterville for our weekly Sunday services. Dcn. Kalish is looking forward to spending some time talking with Fr. Dickenson about our mutual church concerns, and the need for outreach to the community.

Holy Trinity requests prayer from our sister churches concerning all of the above, and thanks you profusely for your remembrance of us.
