ABOUT THE CLERGY

The Rev. Ginny Bain Inman, Associate Rector • Ginny was born and raised in central Florida. She graduated 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 (JD) and a divinity degree (M.Div.). She practiced corporate law for several years before answering an unrelenting call to the priesthood. Ginny has served churches in Washington, D.C., Winston-Salem, N.C. and Augusta, Georgia and is a life-time lover of Kanuga. Ginny serves on the diocesan committee for Constitution and Canons and the Nominating Committee for the next Bishop and chairs the Task Force for Christian Formation. 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. Sarah Carver, Associate Rector • Sarah was born and grew up in Northern Michigan. She graduated in 2000 from Alma College with a degree in Biology. A short time later, she began discerning a call to ministry and eventually graduated from the General Theological Seminary in 2007 with her M. Div. and began her ordained ministry in the Diocese of Eastern Michigan as Missioner to Young Adults. When parish ministry became Sarah’s vocational focus, she led a small parish in Midland, Michigan and began studying clinical social work at Michigan State. In 2013, Sarah graduated with her Masters in Social Work and worked bi-vocationally between the parish and the hospital as an oncology social worker. In addition to her local work, Sarah also served the diocese as Chair of the Commission on Ministry, and as a member of INC055, a task force appointed by General Convention in 2009 to work with the United Thank Offering. Sarah has continued her work with the UTO as an appointed member. Sarah is married to Peter, a polymer scientist with Eastman Chemical, and together they are raising their daughter, Elora. In 2014 they moved to Greensboro and shortly after, Sarah began her work in the Diocese of North Carolina. Sarah and Peter have been delighted to get to know their new community, and pleased that they only rarely have to shovel snow. The Rev. Greg Farrand, Associate Rector • Greg spent the majority of his childhood in Japan and Taiwan returning to the States as a teenager and attending St. Andrew’s Episcopal Prep School in Bethesda, MD. His parents, dyed in the wool Episcopalians, raised him in this tradition but as an act of teenage rebellion, Greg became a Presbyterian. He moved to NC to attend UNC-Greensboro and married his wife Beth a week after graduation in 1994. They moved to Uganda, East Africa to serve a number of years as missionaries then returned to NC to begin studies at Reformed Theological Seminary and serve as Director of College Ministries for a Presbyterian Church. After graduation and ordination in the Presbyterian Church in 2002, Greg planted a church in downtown Greensboro and served as Senior Pastor for almost nine years. Subsequently Greg and Beth served as Co-Executive Directors of Selah Spiritual Formation, a non-profit focused on spiritual direction and retreat leadership. In 2011, Greg was invited to join the staff at Holy Trinity to serve the Youth and Young Adults. Through this process, he returned to the Episcopal fold of his youth to his parents great delight. He has an amazing wife and three teenage sons who keep him young. The Rev. Nathan Finnin, Associate Rector • Originally from Boston, Nathan was raised in Wilmington, NC with his twin sister. He is a 2004 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a BA in Philosophy and a BA in Political Science, and a 2008 graduate of Yale University with the Masters of Divinity degree. Nathan and his wife Kaitlin enjoy live music, good books, and spending time with their son, Beckett, and English Bulldog, Dan.

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 a priest in 1990. He was called as Rector of Holy Trinity at the end of 1996.

Children and Family Ministries seek to nurture your child’s relationship with God through 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 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 everyone to follow along with the service while giving younger children a bit more freedom to move about. All worshippers in the Chapel are invited to join us in the Church for Eucharist. For families with children, 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—Room 105 Preschool—Room 103 Nurseries for children ages 4 and younger are offered Sundays from 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Nurseries are also provided by request during select events. Children’s Chapel: Offered during the 9 a.m. service for children in Pre-K–2nd grade. Children may be dropped off from 8:45–9 a.m. on the second floor of the Parish House in Room 213. Children hear a Bible story based on the Gospel lesson for the day, sing songs and pray. The children take turns serving as acolytes, crucifer and ushers. Children attending Children’s Chapel join their parents in the Sanctuary at the Peace for Eucharist.

Sunday School Classes Sunday school classes are held from 10:15–11 a.m. Three-year-olds hear the simple stories about Jesus in a warm and nurturing learning environment. Children in Pre-K through fourth grade use the Godly Play method led by trained teachers. The focus of Godly Play is learning the sacred stories of our faith in such a way that the stories are inscribed on the children’s hearts. Fifth through Twelfth graders meet on Sunday mornings in the Youth House, 10:15–11 a.m., using curriculum from “Feasting on the Word” based on Sunday’s lectionary reading. To meet the changing needs of Ninth through Twelfth graders, we offer several options, including study and service. On Sunday mornings, these older youth can volunteer in Children’s Chapel (8:45–9:45 a.m.) or as doorkeepers in our Three-Year—Fourth Grade Sunday school program or they can attend the class in the Youth House or one of the adult classes. To volunteer, contact [email protected]. 3-Year Olds—4th Grade Parish House 5th–12th Grade Youth House

SERVANT LEADERSHIP

The Servant Leadership School of Greensboro continues to offer classes for spiritual formation at Holy Trinity, for both our own members and the broader ecumenical community. Please pick up a school brochure at church information stations or visit www.servantleadergreensboro.com for more details.

16

Ways to register Go to www.servantleadergreensboro.com or call the Sacred Garden Bookstore at 336-544-1225.

Call: Co-Creation and the Commitment to Sacred Service: We ask the big questions in this class. At this stage of my life: What is the particular piece of God’s dream that has been specifically entrusted to me? What is the purpose for which God has brought me into the world? What has my entire life, to this point, prepared me for? In a community of like-minded participants, we will explore these and other related questions through reflection of our lives, exploration of our gifts, engagement of spiritual practices, and dialogue in circles of trust. We will support one another in discerning God’s call and in bringing our lives into greater alignment with divine power and purpose. This class will include an experience of a Clearness Committee as participant or “focus person” and an exploration of our call as members of a global community as the larger context for our own personal sense of call. Led by: Ruth D. Anderson, Ph.D. Tuesdays, 6–8 p.m. February 6–April 17 or Thursdays, 10 a.m.–12 p.m. February 8– April 19.

Companion Classes Core Classes Communion: Prayer and the Practice of Presence: In this course we explore spiritual practices that can help us deepen our experience of communion with God and become more “present” in our everyday lives, in order to become increasingly transparent to Divine Presence. The central emphasis of this course will be establishing and or deepening our own daily spiritual practice. We will use Cynthia Bourgeault’s book The Heart of Centering Prayer as a guide and draw support and strength from the class as a community of practice. Led by the Rev. Greg Farrand. Tuesdays, 6–8 p.m. February 6–March 6 or Thursdays, 10 a.m.–12 p.m. Feburary 8–March 8 (5 weeks) Compassion: Awakening the Intelligence of the Heart: Compassion is at the very heart of the teaching of Jesus. Compassion flows abundantly in our own lives when our hearts are awakened to the presence of God. Recent scientific research supports the understanding of pre-modern religious traditions that the human heart is more than just a “pump,” but a center of profound emotional and spiritual intelligence, and the instrument by which we can bring our lives into alignment with Divine energy, love, and compassion. Drawing upon research from the Heartmath Institute® and classic teachings and practices of the Christian tradition, this class will support students in an experiential process of awakening the intelligence of our own hearts, so that we can increasingly serve as instruments of God’s compassion in the world. Led by the Rev. Greg Farrand. Tuesdays, 6—8 p.m., March 13–April 17 or Thursdays 10 a.m.—12 p.m., March 15–April 19 (5 weeks).

Prayerful Yoga: Prayerful Yoga meets our bodies, minds and spirits right where they are and encourages us on the journey towards balance and equanimity in all aspects of our being. The meditation and mindful releasing, opening and movement of Prayerful Yoga is suitable for all body types and levels of experience (including no prior yoga experience.) Please bring a mat/towel and a light blanket. Led by Linda Hiatt, 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. Tuesdays, 9:30–11 a.m. January 16–March 20 (skipping January 23 and March 6), or April 3–May 22 Contemplative Prayer: We begin our time by taking three deep, intentional breaths and then enter the silence together for 20 minutes. At the end of the 20 minutes, we share any concerns, celebrations for a few moments—to carry with us during our week. You are welcome to drop in or come and join this special group. Led by Dr. Ruth Anderson. Wednesdays, 12-12:30 p.m. January 17–May 30 Writing as an Act of Self Discovery: This expressive writing workshop will provide you with the opportunity to write about what’s important to you.  Oftentimes, writing is the catalyst for discovery or as writer Andre Dubus said, “I didn’t know what I knew until I wrote it down.”   In a small group setting, we will engage in structured writing exercises and read and discuss writing that deals with matters of the heart and spirit.  We will look at ways of generating ideas about your unique experiences and then sharing those ideas in a comfortable environment.  No prior writing experience is required, only a desire to sit and think and write. Led by Steve Cushman, MFA. Mondays, 6—8 p.m. February 5–March 12 (6 weeks)

Weekend Workshops

Saturday Workshops

Breathing Beyond Grief: A Weekend Intensive This weekend workshop is for those who find themselves struggling with how to integrate wounds related to unresolved grief. This can look like disappointments in life, losing a job or a loved one, or those struggling with anxiety, depression, or physical pain. It is also a great retreat for those who feel stuck in life or those who feel they are “fine” but know they could be living a more joy filled life. Move Beyond Prolonged Grief • Improve your capacity for happiness • Powerful processes to empower and equip • Learn how to move beyond the pain of the past and take away two powerful techniques to empower you to move forward and regain your joy in this weekend intensive! Unresolved grief and a buildup of clutter within can cause physical pain, drive our decisions and directly affect our capacity for joy. Through writing, communication, and Transformational Breath® work we begin to clear prolonged grief and release its effects from the body. Most people tell you to move on but don’t tell you how... Learn how in this powerful weekend. Location: Haw River State Park in the lovely Heron’s Roost Retreat Building. Cost: Early bird rate $325 (register by 1/9/17). Regular rate is $375 includes two lunches and snacks. *$520 should a participant decide to stay at Haw River in a room for two nights (includes meals). *$475 should two participants decide to share a room for two nights (includes meals) Led by Tony Castle & Jennifer Gronbach of The Clearing Center, Transformational Breath® facilitator Summer Estes, LPC, and others. Friday, February 9–11

Spiritual Practice and the Brain: Mind, heart, and body are an integrated system, as indicated by the 60s term “psychobiology,” before the more braincentric label “neuroscience” took over the press. That pendulum of socially acceptable language is now swinging back, and there is much excitement about “integrative medicine,” using spiritual practices such as meditation. yoga, and prayer not just for stress relief but for the personal growth necessary to overcome conditions like trauma and addiction. This workshop will focus specifically on Stephen Porges’s PolyVagal Theory, which concerns the neural regulation of the gut, the heart, and the muscles of the face that we use for social communication. In addition to examining the model as an intellectual construct, we will exercise these different circuits and determine their effects on our emotional states, first-hand. Led by Randall Hayes, PhD. February 17, 9:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Breath as a Pathway to Presence: An introductory workshop to Transformational Breath®: This workshop is designed to introduce both new and experienced participants to two powerful breath work modalities: coherence breath and Transformational Breath®. We will create a safe space for participants to experience the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits of breath work, and work with our three centers of intelligence: body, heart and mind. Conscious connected breathing practices are an ancient path for creating fertile ground from which the wisdom of our heart can arise. This one-day, experiential workshop is limited to 14 participants. Led by Summer Estes MA, NCC, LPC and Transformational Breath® Facilitators. March 17, 1–4 p.m.

Servant Leadership Weekend: First Time Offering Servant Leadership in a Weekend Format. Servant Leadership offers a fresh, practice-oriented path of Christian spirituality for the 21st century, connecting our faith with our everyday life by blending the inward journey of prayer, presence, and personal transformation with the outward journey of love-in-action and sacred service in the world. In this course, we will step into the paradigm shift at the heart of Jesus’ proclamation of the Kingdom of God, connecting this to the paradigm shift currently unfolding in contemporary science and cosmology. We will introduce the three central practices of Servant Leadership: Communion, Compassion, and Co-Creation, designed to awaken and open the deeper intelligence of the mind, heart, and body. We understand the shift from a dualistic, ego-centered consciousness to a more unitive consciousness, flowing from this three-centered knowing, to be a practical way of “putting on the mind of Christ.” Limited Enrollment to 20 participants. Cost: Early bird $275 (register by April 1st). Regular Rate is $350. (includes two lunches) Led by The Rev. Gregory Farrand, David Bollt of Relational Yoga, and Summer Estes, LPC and Certified Transformational Breath Facilitator Friday, May 18 6–9 p.m., Saturday, May 19 9 a.m.– 5 p.m. (lunch included), and Sunday, May 20 9 a.m.–1 p.m. (lunch included)
