About The Clergy The Rev. Timothy J. Patterson, Rector • Tim earned his B.A. from Duke University and his M.Div. from Duke Divinity School. After varied experiences working with autistic young people, serving as a Hospice volunteer, completing two years of Clinical Pastoral Education, and working over five years as a psychiatric counselor, Tim followed the call into ordained ministry. He returned to school at General Theological Seminary in New York City to fulfill the ordination requirement for Anglican studies and completed the two year program in Spiritual Direction at the Center for Christian Spirituality. Tim came to Greensboro in 1989 to serve as Assistant to the Rector at Holy Trinity, being ordained as priest in 1990. He was called as rector of Holy Trinity at the end of 1996. Tim has also taken a leadership role in ecumenical ministries in the community, being primary founder of the Guilford Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (GRAIN), The Barnabas Network and The Servant Leadership School of Greensboro. Tim’s wife, Kathleen Forbes, is an educational administrator at UNCG. The Rev. Ginny Bain Inman, Associate to the Rector • Ginny was born and raised in central Florida. She graduated in 1994 from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Virginia, with degrees in Politics and Religion. Ginny continued to explore the relationship between culture and religion by simultaneously studying law and faith at Vanderbilt University, graduating with a law degree (J.D.) and a divinity degree (M.Div.) in 1999. She practiced corporate law for several years before answering an unrelenting call to the priesthood. After attending Virginia Theological Seminary for Anglican Studies, she was ordained to the priesthood in January 2005 at St. Paul’s in WinstonSalem. Ginny has worked on several diocesan committees and has also served churches in Washington D.C. and Augusta, Georgia. A life-time lover of Kanuga, Ginny serves on the Program Committee. Ginny is married to Stephen, a fellow Vanderbilt law alum, who works as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. In her most daring undertaking to date, she is the mother of two young sons Eli and Sam, who spend most of their days as superheroes. The Rev. Susan Sherard, Associate to the Rector • Susan grew up in the Methodist church in Mississippi and received her B.A. from Lake Forest College, Illinois, and her M.A. from Sangamon State University, now part of the University of Illinois system. After a decade of working in non-profits and creating fabric art, she went to the General Theological Seminary for her M.Div., after which she was assigned to Madison County, NC, to found a new church. While at the Church of the Holy Spirit from 1985–2000, she also served as a retreat leader and board member with the Sims Institute for Servant Leadership. After marrying Tom Panek and moving to Southern Pines, Susan became an active priest in the Diocese of North Carolina, serving as a church consultant, retreat leader and supply and interim priest. Susan shares her time between Holy Trinity and the Servant Leadership School, and she is often spotted walking to and from her city apartment or working in the community garden.
Servant Leaders Circle: Come grab some coffee or tea and join others in a conversation about servant leadership. Facilitated by Servant Leaders. Saturdays, Feb. 14, March 14, and April 11, 10 a.m.–12 p.m., Fisher House Café Art Journaling: A Path to the Heart: Join Jacinta V. White for this exploratory, creative workshop. This session will look at how we can tap deeper into our heart center and hear the whispers there and how art can help us achieve both. Perfect for the Lenten season of reflection and renewal. Art materials will be provided but you may also bring your own (personal journal, copies of favorite photos, a piece of cloth). To find out more about Jacinta and her work visit, www.poetryheals.com. Led by Jacinta V. White. Saturday, Feb. 28, 10 a.m.–Noon, Fisher House Café Awakening the Intelligence of the Heart: Contemporary research, including the work of The HeartMath Institute, shows how to transform emotional and mental energy into new, satisfying feelings and intelligent perceptions. Simple practices help shift automatic responses etched into our neural circuitry to awakening the intelligence of the heart to Divine Presence. These methods focus on positive feelings such as appreciation, care or compassion which help to create a coherence in our heart rhythms that has been shown to bring emotions, body, and mind into balance. Led by the Rev. Timothy Patterson. Saturday, March 7, 10 a.m.–Noon, Broome Hall. Lenten Quiet Morning: Prepare for Lent by participating in a Lenten Quiet Morning. We will engage scripture, art, music, a labyrinth walk, prayer and silence. Led by Marjorie Donnelly. Saturday, March 21, 9 a.m.–12 p.m., Broome Hall Introduction and Demonstration of Clearness Committee: What is a Clearness Committee and how does it function? The Clearness Committee is a communal approach to personal discernment originating in the Quaker tradition. In Parker Palmer’s words, “each of us has an inner teacher, a voice of truth that offers the guidance and power we need to deal with our problems. But that inner voice is often garbled by various kinds of inward and outward interference.” The Clearness Committee creates a sacred space in which a person can draw on both inner and communal resources to discern his or her own truth regarding a problem. We will provide you with a demonstration and materials in order for you to decide if you would like a Clearness Committee for yourself or if you might want to offer this discernment tool for another. Led by Ruth D. Anderson, Ph.D. and Nan Perkins. Saturday, March 28, 10 a.m.–Noon, Broome Hall Urban Pilgrimage: Praying with Our Feet: Join the Rev. Frank Dew in a time of prayer and walking through Greensboro. We will be invited to listen to scripture and pray for our city. We stop at Guilford County Courthouse, International Civil Rights Museum, Interactive Resource Center, Bennett College, Beloved Community Center. Return to Greensboro Urban Ministry for lunch, worship and conversation. RSVP to the Rev. Frank Dew at 336-553-2651. Saturday, April 13, 8 a.m., Greensboro Urban Ministry
The Rev. Stewart Tabb, Associate to the Rector • Stewart is a graduate of Davidson College (1982), with an M. Div. from Church Divinity School of the Pacific and post-graduate work in theology, at Candler Divinity School, and in spiritual direction, at Shalem Institute. She has a background in publishing. Since her ordination in 1999, Stewart has served in regional ministry in the Diocese of Nevada, as an Associate in a multi-staff parish in northern Virginia, and for the last ten years as Rector at St. Julian’s in Douglasville, Georgia.

Holy Eucharist Rite II (with choir)
Co-Creation Circle: The five-fold path of sacred services includes (1) serving God, (2) serving the divine image in others, (3) serving ourselves as sacred instruments of divine co-creation, (4) serving our local community and (5) serving the planet as a global citizen. As we seek to walk this path, the support of community is essential. The Co-Creation Circle provides that support, through a spiritual practice, a guided reflection on one of the paths, and requests for support. Led by Marilyn Wolf, M.Ed. Thursdays, beginning Jan. 29, 12:15–1:15 p.m. for 10 weeks, Conference Room Writing From the Heart: Explore your capacity for vivid writing. A powerful means of spiritual development, writing offers ways to explore oneself as one creates gifts for the world. Toni Morrison put it this way: “Struggling through the work is extremely important, more important to me than publishing it. If I didn’t do this, then I would be a part of the chaos.” Open to writers of all levels, in a relaxed atmosphere. Class is limited to 12. Led by Ellen Summers, Ph.D. Thursdays, beginning Jan. 29, 2–4 p.m. for 8 weeks, Fisher House Café God Connecting: Following the Wisdom Practices of Jesus: Jesus and his disciples were an engaged community exercising an ever increasing awareness of God-with-us. The good news involves living from the sacred space where God connects in all and with all. We will hope to engage this sacred space in fresh ways. Our goal will be to practice the ‘commands’ of Jesus from a wisdom perspective, seeking to experience God forming whole hearts and whole lives in community. Recommended for people who are open to transformation. Class is limited to 12. Led by Curt Shaw. Thursdays, beginning Jan. 29, 6:30–8:30 p.m. for 10 weeks, Fisher House Café Book Study: The Four Virtues: Presence, Heart, Wisdom, Creation: Paul Volk will work through the book The Four Virtues by Tobin Hart. With chapters on each of the four virtues, the author teaches using neuroscience, ancient wisdom traditions, and psychology to help us connect to ourselves, to each other and to the world. At the end of each chapter, Hart provides assessments and spiritual practices. Led by Paul C. Volk, MSW, Spiritual Director. Wednesdays, beginning Feb. 4, 1:30-3:30 p.m. for 10 weeks, Lineweaver Room
Spiritual Practices on Saturdays How to Make Change: Many of us are stuck in areas of our lives and would like to change. Tools from psychology and wisdom traditions can be resources to help shape our choices and lives. The best models and practices can empower us to make the change we desire. Led by Ruth D. Anderson, Ph.D. Saturday, Jan. 10, 10 a.m.–Noon, Broome Hall. Theory U: “Theory U” is a five-step process developed by Otto Scharmer from MIT which helps groups imagine and create transformational change in all areas of life. In this workshop, the first hour will serve as a review of the basics of Theory U (covered in the fall 2014 workshop). Then we will engage participants in designing “prototypes” — co-creation actions — in their own work, nonprofit, community or personal settings. Led by the Rev. Susan Sherard and Ruth D. Anderson, Ph.D. Saturday, Jan. 17, 9–10 a.m., 10 a.m.–12 p.m., Broome Hall 18

Companion Classes
Children and Family Ministries seek to nurture your child’s relationship with God through programs and opportunities that introduce the life, love and example of Jesus. Our aim is to partner with families in the parent/child journey of discovery towards a life of discipleship and faith. Children bring particular gifts of joy and wonder to the whole church. As children begin their walk with God, we hope to nurture this vital relationship with encouragement and guidance. We also understand the significance of encouraging meaningful friendships among children and creating faith-filled bonds between parents, leaders and children. Children’s values and beliefs are first formed within the context of their family and part of our mission is to support parents as they develop and strengthen their own relationship with God.
Sunday Morning Family Worship Options Families with young children who find it difficult to sit still through the worship service are invited to worship in All Saints Chapel at the 9 a.m. service. A live video feed allows adults and older children to follow along with the service while giving younger children a bit more freedom to move about and make noise. All worshippers in the Chapel are invited to come join us in the Church for Eucharist. For families with children attending worship in the Church or Chapel, green Holy Trinity worship bags are available for our youngest members from the baskets in the Narthex and outside All Saints Chapel. These bags contain a variety of quiet ways to occupy small hands. Please return the bags and their reusable contents to the baskets after the service.
Nursery Care A warm and welcoming environment demonstrates God’s love to our youngest children. Nurseries are located on the first floor of the Parish House. Infant & Toddler (Birth–2 Years) Preschool (2–4 Years)
Room 105 Room 103
Nurseries for children ages 4 and younger are offered Sundays from 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Preferred Childcare, Inc. provides childcare service. Nurseries are also provided by request during select special events.
Sacred Activism: Being Present to Children Living in Poverty: For the past eight years, volunteers have been present to the children at Partnership Village, a transitional housing community, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. We provide “Homework Help,” read, and practice math skills. We provide the children with a healthy snack, materials, books and our loving presence which helps the children learn. If you are interested in this form of servant leadership, contact Ruth (
[email protected]) and come to one of our monthly meetings. Led by Ruth D. Anderson, Ph.D. and other spiritual activists. Mondays, Jan. 26, Feb. 23, March 30, April 27, 4–6 p.m., Conference Room Prayerful Yoga: Healing Mind and Body: We begin with a meditation linking mind, breath and body and encourage participants to surrender to the present moment. The releasing and opening experienced in yoga can directly influence the quality of your spiritual journey. Poses are suitable for all body types and levels of experience. Bring mat, towel or blanket. Led by Linda Hiatt. Tuesdays, beginning Jan. 27, 9:30–11 a.m. for 10 weeks, Upper Room Book Study: Friendships at the Margins: The Rev. Frank Dew, Chaplain at Greensboro Urban Ministry, will lead a book study on Friendship at the Margins: Discovering Mutuality in Service and Mission by Christopher Heuertz and Christine Pohl. Chris Heuertz, international director of Word Made Flesh, and theologian and ethicist Christine Pohl show how friendship is a Christian vocation that can bring reconciliation and healing to our broken world. Led by The Rev. Frank Dew, Chaplain at GUM. Tuesdays, beginning Jan. 27, 12:30–2 p.m. for 10 Weeks, Greensboro Urban Ministry The Sacred Art of Forgiveness: Using Marcia Ford’s book The Sacred Art of Forgiveness as our cornerstone, we will explore what blocks us from giving and receiving this sacred gift and how we can open ourselves up to its healing power.
