Summer 2010

Christian Formation is a lifetime endeavor and a deliberate process. Discovery is Trinity Wall Street’s comprehensive program of Faith Formation for all ages. Within Discovery, you’ll find Programs for Children and Youth Ministry, in addition to adult offerings.

Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held on the Second Floor at 74 Trinity Place, accessed on Sundays via the pedestrian bridge behind Trinity Church.

Summer Book Group: The Theology of Hospitality
Sundays through August 1 • 10am
As we prepare to open Charlotte's Place in the fall as a neighborhood center for hospitality, this three-session book group will help us to focus on the witness within Christian scripture and tradition using Arthur Sutherland's I Was A Stranger: A Christian Theology of Hospitality. Background on the book will be provided to all participants. Led by seminarian Emily Phillips. 74 Trinity Place

The Gospel, Times, Journal, and You
Every Sunday • 10am
A discussion group that will read the editorial pages of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the assigned gospel for the day. Bring your life experiences, your political insights, an open heart and mind and let us see where the culture, politics and news meet the gospel. 3rd floor room 3. Led by the Rev. Mark Francisco Bozzuti-Jones

Youth Art Project: Tragedy in the Gulf
Sundays through August 15 • 10 am
The youth of Trinity Church and their friends will turn their imaginations to creating scratchboard art in response to the challenge: "How I would solve the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and other ecological assaults on Planet Earth?" Nathan Fitch will lead the group. The resulting works will be displayed in the 2nd Floor Parlor Gallery and may be printed in booklet form for the congregation and to send to our elected leaders and representatives in Washington. Open to all youth of the congregation. For more information, contact Jack Moody at or Anne Damassa at adamassa@trinitywallstreet.org or 212.602.0706. 74 Trinity Place, 3rd Floor

The Bible on Wall Street
Mondays through August 2 • 1pm-2pm
Wall Street is never a day at the beach, but the Bible helps. Bring your lunch and join Deacon Bob Zito in the Trinity Churchyard (on the north side) for lively discussion and fellowship. The discussion will be focusing on Luke's Gospel. Participants will discuss the application of Bible stories to workday living. Trinity Churchyard, Northside

Belief
Tuesdays through August 3 • 6:30pm-7:30pm
In what ways do our ideas about God create conflict for us in this shifting, conditional, troubled world, and in what ways do our ideas about God help us reach out to others and deeply into ourselves? Can we consciously interact with our deepest-held beliefs to find more peace, connection, and compassion? Come with an open heart and mind and, perhaps, an excitement to unpeel the layers in a non-judgmental atmosphere. This is a listening group—not an advice-giving group. Led by Jenn Foster and Mark Bozzuti-Jones. 74 Trinity Place, 3rd Floor Library

Happily Married, Or Getting There
Wednesdays through July 28 • 6:30pm-7:30pm
Inviting all people in committed relationships: come share and explore what it means to be in committed, faithful, happy relationships using the wedding ceremony of the Episcopal Church as a guide. Led by Mark Bozzuti-Jones and Don and Lee Englund. 74 Trinity Place, 3rd Floor, Room 1
