The Rev. David Sugeno accepted the call from the vestry to be the seventh priest of Trinity Marble Falls, Texas.  David and his wife, Amy, return to the hill country in August after  living in Conroe where David was the Associate Priest of St. James the Apostle Episcopal Church.  Amy received her Master of Social Work in May of 2009 from the University of Houston's Graduate College of Social Work.  More information will be in the July Trumpet.

                                                     GENEROSITY

The grace that leads to gratitude moves us to respond.  We look around and see an ocean of need, a world desperate for meaning and transformation.  Hunger, homelessness, disease, hatred and isolation infect God's creation.  Ignorance of God's ways limits human possibility.

Generosity is response to both the need we see and the One who gives us all good gifts.  We set before God our time, talent and treasure as lavishly as we can in response.  We find where God is working and we invest ourselves there--generously.

Grace. Gratitude. Generosity.  It is as simple--and joyful--as that.  What will you do?
