Reflecting the increasing need by many in our community, the In The Garden ministry has experienced a tremendous increase in attendance this summer. Last Sunday we served over 138 people; Aug. 21, we served over 160! Last Sunday’s meal was prepared by the ladies of the Church of the Solid Faith and included home cooked roast chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and carrots, corn on the cob, and assorted fruit for dessert. In The Garden provides the only hot meal available to the homeless downtown on the weekend. Deacon Fred Shirley led the worship service and gave a short Homily. Deacon deniray mueller, Susan Crompton, Karen Peeler, and Chise Hamisi hosted and helped serve. Your help and involvement with this rapidly growing ministry to some of our most needy neighbors is earnestly solicited! Contact any of the ITG “ Core Team” (Susan and Rich Crompton, Bill Bronson, Chise Hamisi, Deacon deniray mueller, Karen Peeler) for questions or if you wish to participate.
'missio' conference Sept. 30-Oct. 1
missio is a gathering of emerging church leaders, mainline leaders, and Fresh Expressions practitioners, for conversation and collaboration in (re) imagining church in ways that are radically incarnational and contextual to embody the Gospel and Reign of God in today's culture. missio is an opportunity for people in traditional congregations to dialogue with leaders of emerging Christianity, to discover innovative resources for building community through radical hospitality, emergent worship, and missional church planting within a postmodern and post-secular world. missio will explore what it means to be what the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, calls a "mixed-economy church," where traditional congregations and new expressions of church work together to participate in God's mission in the world. Bring a team from your congregation to missio and learn to engage God's mission in new and fresh ways! Detailed information and registration is online at http://missioconference.org 
TRINITY AGAIN ACCEPTS THE CRIS
WELCOME BASKET CHALLENGE
(Community & Refugee Imigration Services)September Challenge: A Food Basket
Thanks to those who helped create a kitchen basket earlier this month. Now Trinity’s Church School Children and our Community Ministry Team are asking for your help to fill some more of the needs of families who have recently newly immigrated to our city.
CRIS requests 4 categories of baskets—Kitchen, Bath, Bedroom, Food. We focused on Kitchen in August and are creating a food basket in September.
On September 21 a Burmese family of 5 is arriving in Columbus. Our food basket will be delivered directly to them that day. Please note the dietary needs/suggestions in the graphic. Non-perishable items can be brought to Trinity between now and Sunday, September 18. Jori McDevitt has volunteered to shop for perishable items that day and deliver them as well. If you would like to contribute to that purchase, please bring or send a check to the church noting CRIS FOOD BASKET on the memo, or give cash directly to Jori at church.
Visit Wikipedia's Burmese Cuisine article if you want to do some creative yet appropriate shopping for non-perishable items.
Homework Club Coming to Columbus Deanery!

If you have a passion to serve others…in this case, those who are presently struggling to communicate and learn using their new American language….if you have administrative skills…if you love to teach…if you enjoy welcoming people into new situations…if you are seeking a new ministry which can incorporate your creative ideas, please join us at our next meeting on Monday, September 19th at 10 AM at All Saints Episcopal Church in New Albany.

A Service of Evensong: Remembering 9/11/2001
The Rev. Dr. William L. Sachs, preachingFriday, September 23, 2011, 7:00 p.m.
St. James Episcopal Church, 3400 Calumet St., Columbus, OH 43214
As we mark the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, we invite you to consider reflecting with others in our diocese and the Columbus area on how we have been changed in the meantime. On September 23rd St. James Clintonville (Columbus) will host an Evensong sponsored by the diocesan Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations Commission beginning at 7 p.m. and followed by a sherry reception and conversation with our preacher for the evening, The Rev. William L. Sachs, PhD. Father Sachs is Executive Director of the Center for Interfaith Reconciliation in Richmond, Virginia. In that work he develops educational programs on understanding and engaging constructively with Muslims and members of other faiths. He is the author of four books and more than 200 articles, chapters, reports, and reviews. As an Episcopal priest he has served five parishes in Virginia, Connecticut, and Chicago. A consultant with foundations and non-profit organizations, he is frequently interviewed by major media outlets including the New York Times.
Immigration film Sunday, Sept. 4, 3-5:30 pm at COSI in Columbus:
As 9/11 approaches, see the short documentary “HAWO’S DINNER PARTY” and join a community discussion about building understanding and friendship across ethnic and religious boundaries. Drawing on some of the most vivid scenes of welcoming and transformation from Welcome to Shelbyville, the 2010 documentary follows the trajectory of Hawo Siyad, a refugee and former nurse from Somalia, who has come to work at the near-by Tyson Foods chicken processing plant. Dressed in colorful hijab even on the assembly line, Hawo is determined to learn English and to connect with her neighbors. But as news of “home grown terrorism” appears in the national media and as Hawo tries to reach out, we get an intimate glimpse into the honest – and often uncomfortable – confrontations that emerge. “Hawo’s Dinner Party” shows what happens when newcomers and “welcoming ambassadors” communicate and work together to transform their community, even under the most challenging times.
Sponsored by the Kirwan Institute for Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State and Community Refugee and Immigration Services, this event also serves as a fundraiser for drought and famine relief in the Horn of Africa, with proceeds going to the American Refugee Committee. Please send RSVPs to: hawosdinnerparty@gmail.com Parking in the lots on Belle Street on the west side of COSI costs $5, cash only.
