Migrant Care Ministries

Since the beginning of COVID-19 several organizations have been collaborating with a team of volunteers and other organizations to provide post-release accompaniment to immigrants and asylum seekers released from Stewart Detention Center. The offerings are as follows:

  • Airport accompaniment - a small team of volunteers are dispatched to the airport to greet immigrants released from Stewart. There they help assess their momentary needs. That often includes making reservations, printing boarding passes, getting a gate pass, accompanying the individuals to their gate, and purchasing a meal for the travelers.
  • Radical hospitality - Since late July the Atlanta Friends Meeting (here in Decatur) has allowed Charlotte and me to host immigrants and asylum seekers in need of transitional housing. Most of our guests only stay one night and then catch their bus or plane to be reunited with family or friends. Sometimes it's a longer stay due to some form of an acute crisis. One example was a high school student who came here as an unaccompanied minor to only become a victim of forced labor. We've had two long-term guests, a homeless man from the Caribbean (10 days) and a Central American man who wanted to return to his home country but had to await the reopening of his country's airport. Since late-July we have welcomed to the meetinghouse 12 men from the Arabian Peninsula, the Caribbean, Central America, and East Asia.

How can folks from Holy Trinity get involved? Here are some items that can be used immediately:

  • New or gently used clothing items. Specifically:
    • long-sleeve shirts (S, M, L)
    • pants (sizes 30-32)
    • shoes (sizes 8 1/2 and 9)
    • flip flops / sliders (for showering)
    • laundry detergent
  • Apprentices for our airport accompaniment - These individuals must be willing to go to the Atlanta airport and knowing the risks of COVID-19 decide to practice basic preventative measures (mask-wearing, hand washing/sanitizing, social distance, etc.). No experience or language skills are required. We can provide an apprenticeship. Volunteers are mostly needed early morning and late evening.

Long-term, Holy Trinity might sponsor some weeks/months of grocery items.

Contact David Triemer or Maia Hall for more information.

Holy Trinity Parish is part of 109 worshiping communities across middle and north Georgia, and part of a worldwide expression of Christianity known as the Anglican Communion. One of our hallmarks is that we find our unity in our common prayer and worship, not in our common thought or belief. When we gather to pray, we join in ancient practices designed to shape our lives to be more like Christ’s. We hear God’s word, pray for the world, confess our sins, receive forgiveness, be at peace with one another, and celebrate our unity with God and one another in Holy Communion.

Welcome to Holy Trinity Parish!

In this time of social distancing, we can, and will practice connectivity in new and powerful ways, for we know we ARE connected as one in the Lord.

We know that the church is not the building in which we worship – but the people who worship and share God’s love with the world. Since we are physically separate, we are exploring other ways to feel more fully spiritually connected to God and each other.

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

In a word, yes.

We at Holy Trinity Parish give thanks to God for the gift of spiritual maturity in our leadership. Spiritual maturity means we are able to focus on the work God gives us to do in the world. It means we are able to welcome new people, new experiences, and new challenges without fear or anxiety. It means we welcome diversity as a gift from God. You’ll find a richness here, with people trying to love God and one another all across the age and economic spectrums, and all across the political and cultural spectrums, too. You’ll find people who know the ancient rhythms of our worship by heart, people who are coming from other expressions of Christianity, and people who have little or no experience with Church.

During this time of social distancing, we invite you to joining us in interactive digital worship.

Coffee Hour on Zoom after 10:30 a.m. service

When we gather for worship, we strive to glorify God with beautiful music, intentional silence, and words of both comfort and challenge. We also strive in our worship to welcome and include people of all ages and capabilities: people who wiggle and make noise, people whose cell phones go off, people who nod off during the sermon, people who can’t quite sing on key, and people who are so busy through the week that they struggle to “be still and know that you are God.”

If you are bringing young children to our worship, THANK YOU! and we challenge you to try to engage them in the holy drama of worship: teach them our prayers and how to hold a hymnal, show them when to stand or kneel, and use our worship bags to give busy hands something to do. Or if it is better for you or your children that they be in our nursery, it is professionally staffed from 8:00 a.m. until just before communion at the 10:30 a.m. service, and it is located on the second floor next to the chapel.

The faithful giving of all our members enables our ministries and our life together. Each week, we are nurtured in word and sacrament. We are called by God to care for those who are ill or hurting, and welcome all those searching for a community of faith.

We try to be a generous parish. Although giving levels vary in the congregation, all of us are asked to give in a way that reflects our commitment to living a generous life. I invite you to prayerfully consider how you might live life more generously.
