Trinity Church Baraboo

At Trinity, we're blessed with a growing flock of little ones who give life to our services with their energy and warmth. Parents are welcome to walk with their children during the service--in the sanctuary or outside of it. It's a delight for the parish to embrace them--like this Sunday when a newly-toddling-toddler visited some folks in the back pews.

Here's the recording of this morning's 9am Holy Eucharist from Trinity Church!

It's parade day! If you need a clean restroom, baby changing, water, sunscreen, light snacks, or much more, come visit us today at Trinity Episcopal Church on 6th and Oak. Or we'd love to show you the inside of our historic building, or have a friendly chat.

Have a great day!

"The Great Spirit gave me a little light; I followed it and more came and it made me all I am.”

So Enmegahbowh, the first Native American to be ordained an Episcopal Priest, described his Christian faith. We commemorate him today.

Born into the Ojibwe nation, and ordained as a deacon in 1852 and a priest in 1867, he served as a missionary and spiritual leader, helping to provide education, medical care, and religious instruction throughout Minnesota. He was a committed peacemaker, and struggled to prevent Ojibwe groups from entering The Dakota War of 1862.

His bishop, Henry Benjamin Whipple, had this to say about Enmegabowh's character, and their friendship: "I have known Enmegahbowh in sunshine and in storm, and he has always been to me a faithful friend and brother. He has been my companion in many of my journeys in the wilderness, and while he is most thoughtful in character, he possesses a vein of fun which, I suppose, he has more often revealed to his bishop than to any other."

Due to inclement weather today (June 10th) and tomorrow (June 11th), we are cancelling our evening programming. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, June 10th, and will reconvene in the fall. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛, 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐙𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐭 𝟔𝐩𝐦. We hope to see you there!

Stay safe out there, it's a time to stay inside with a good book if you can manage it.

Last week, we finished reading The Gospel of John together at our Bible Study, Word With Friends.

One of the moments we discussed was John 20:3-4: "Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first."

This painting by James Tissot captures the moment just before John arrives, with Peter right behind him.

What do you think of the way Tissot composed this painting? Why is the landscape so desolate? Why are the men's bodies in the same position, as if Peter is John's shadow? Why is John's robe white like the light in the tomb, but Peter's looks grey like the landscape?

What else do you notice?

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us at our Ministry Fair yesterday! We enjoyed beautiful weather and even better company.

With the help of a flock of plastic lawn flamingos, things are coming together for the Ministry Fair this Sunday!

Join us on the lawn after the service for burgers, brats, and some conversation with our friends about the many ways Trinity's parishioners serve our church family.
