Reaching Out to God's World

 

 

Jesus urged us to go help our fellow people.  Trinity takes this commission by our Lord to heart by being involved in many different activities in the community and the world.  Below is a listing of just some of our Outreach activities, though we invite you to visit this page often, as we are always growing and evolving our Outreach efforts.

Like to get involved?  Please feel free to contact the parishioner listed as a contact for each of the activites, or please contact our Outreach Coordinator, Deacon Magdalena Aders, for information on how you can get involved in serving God by helping others.

The Children of the Good Shepherd Home Need Your Help

The Good Shepherd Home is run by the Benedictine Sisters of Bethany, a religious order of the Anglican Church of Cameroon, West Africa, under the supervision of its founder and present superior, Sister Jane Mankaa.  The home feeds, clothes, houses, educates and loves over 130 orphaned children and is recognized by the Cameroonian government as one of the finest in the country.  An annex has recently opened in the village of Batibo for orphans and special needs children-many who are afflicted by epilepsy.

The Community of St. John the Baptist in Mendham, NJ, with its strong connections to the Episcopal Dioceses of New Jersey and Newark, is deeply involved in the orphanage, overseeing its funding and making yearly visits to Good Shepherd to assess its needs.

Parishioner Lisa Alston would like to invite Trinity families to sponsor a child at the Good Shepherd Home.  By several parish families joining in on the cost for sponsorship, a small amount of money can do a great amount of good for thse orphans, many of whom have lost their parents to AIDS and are facing ostracism by the community based on fear and superstition about AIDS.

Please contact Lisa for information on sponsorship, or look at the mateirals in the Narthex.
