“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit
comes upon you; you will be my witnesses in Jerusa-
lem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth.” Acts 1: 8
Beloved, you are powerful. Your faithfulness, your
generosity, and your life led in the context of Christian
community is a powerful witness in a culture that
claims scarcity, anxiety, and independence at all
costs. You are a living witness of the love Jesus Christ
has for all people. That you offer hope in response to
despair, say a prayer in the midst of fear, lend a hand
when work is overwhelming, or share resources with
those needing food, shelter, and funds reflects God’s
power in the world.
When our Ministry Groups gather to pray, support each
other, and answer God’s call to serve, they step into
God’s powerful presence in this world. In ministry to-
gether we become a force that counters the cultural
messages that separate our society so effectively. Now
that is power: The power of faith, hope, and love.
Grace and peace,
The Rev. Andrew Wright has
been called to serve as our new
Associate Rector for Families,
Children and Young Adults.
Father Andrew was raised in
the Episcopal Church, growing
up in the North Panhandle
town of Borger, Texas. He met
his wife, Melanie, while a stu-
dent at TCU and was part of
Trinity's own campus ministry
throughout college.
Shortly after college and their wedding, the Wrights
moved to Sewanee, Tenn., for Andrew to begin his
seminary studies. He graduated with a Master of Di-
vinity from Sewanee in 1995 and was ordained by
Bishop Sam Hulsey on June 4th that year. Andrew has
since worked in Tennessee, Nebraska, New York, New
Jersey, Maryland, and, home at last, in Texas, serving
parishes along the way as Assistant, Rector, Priest-in-
charge, and most currently as Rector of Saint Anne
Episcopal Church in DeSoto, Texas.
Andrew received a Master of Sacred Theology degree
in 2003 from the General Theological Seminary and a
Doctor of Theology degree in Liturgical Theology in
2012 from General as well. His wife, Melanie, is also
an Episcopal priest, ordained in 2006, and serves St.
Alban's Episcopal Church in Arlington as priest-in-
charge.
The Wrights have three children, Aidan (19 at UTA),
Benjamin (17), and Macrina (13). Aside from youth,
children, family, and campus ministry, Andrew has an
abiding interest in theater, science, and storytelling in
all its forms.
Father Andrew's first day in the church office will be
Tuesday, July 9. His first Sunday at Trinity will be Ju-
ly 14.
Looking back.
Looking ahead.
Join us on Sunday, June 9 at 10:40 a.m. for a Trinity Forum like
no other. “God’s Geeks” will be on hand for the first in a series of
technology how-to sessions. On the 9th we’ll cover some social
media basics and get you acquainted with Trinity’s Facebook
page. Bring your laptops, tablet computers and smartphones to get
hands-on help from our tech-support volunteers.
Back in March we encouraged parishioners to attend Easter Vigil
services at other churches and share your experiences with Trini-
ty’s liturgical planning team. Your insights will help shape wor-
ship for 2014! Please join us for an open forum on Wednesday,
June 12 at 6 p.m. in the Parish Hall to discuss what you learned
from the Vigil you attended.
Parents get the night out while the kiddos enjoy fun and games
here at the church! Parents can drop off children from 4:45 to 5
p.m., then proceed to the home of Al Mathé and Sarah Matches,
4201 Warnock Court, Fort Worth, 76109. Children should be
picked up no later than 8:15 p.m. For more information, contact
Brandy Bacon: [email protected].
The next issue of our e-magazine, The Trinity Episcopalian, will
hit the virtual newsstand at the end of this month. Your contribu-
tions are needed—ministry updates, essays, devotionals, photos,
original artwork, etc. Send submissions to the communications
manager at [email protected].
