Horns in the Woods at Trinity on Saturday Afternoon, July 27
The Arlington hills will be alive with the sound of French horn music on Saturday afternoon, July 27, at 2 p.m. in the Trinity Outdoor Chapel, weather permitting.  This is on the hilltop up behind Calvin Hall where Trinity has held Easter Sunrise Services in recent years.  Mark Stanga and some of his horn friends (all of whom have played in Trinity worship services in recent months) will be observing Trinity’s 75^th Anniversary and the German tradition of horn playing in the woods.  This will be an informal celebration rather than a concert, and anyone who likes the idea of French horns ringing through the woods is welcome. 

OAR Backpack drive now through August 12th

Trinity is a collection spot for new backpacks and school supplies for OAR (Offender Aid and Restoration) who will distribute them to children who have a parent incarcerated locally. You can bring in a new backpack with school supplies to Trinity or donate through the Project Backpack Amazon Wishlist link on the enews or website. The drive will conclude August 12th so they can get the items to the children in time. In addition to the back packs, school supplies include: glue sticks, mechanical pencils, two pocket folders, erasers, highlighters, white board markers, colored pencils, markers,rulers, and single subject notebooks; though any school related supplies are appreciated. Last year they helped 170 families. Questions? Email Priscilla Hoffman-Stowe. 

Save the date! Trinity Fall Retreat: October 18-20
It is actually not too early to put this date on the calendar!  Your October is probably wide open right now so make the fall retreat a must do!   October 18-20th we will be at Massanetta Springs in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains (2-3 hours from Arlington). There's plenty to do, like outdoor games, board games, and Russ Scholls’ world famous obstacle course. Or kick back and enjoy quiet contemplation or a good book surrounded by the fall foliage. Whether you’re a long-time member or still getting acquainted, the fall retreat is the perfect way to get away while deepening ties within the Trinity community. Details and sign-up to follow in early September.
