Farewell and Thank You, Rev. Joyce!

On May 19, 2019, Trinity bid a fond farewell to the Rev. Joyce Tompkins and celebrated her dedicated service at Trinity as she entered into retirement from parish ministry.  Rev. Joyce served as Associate Rector at Trinity for nearly 19 years, during which time the Trinity community grew to lovingly embrace her wit, energy and quiet but wise leadership.  We will miss Rev. Joyce very much and give thanks to God for our time of shared ministry with her at Trinity!  

A note from Rev. Joyce:
Dear Trinity Friends, 

My heart is full after the wonderful farewell you hosted for me on my last Sunday with you, and after nearly nineteen years of fulfilling mutual ministry.  You all have been a community of love and support for me and all my family these many years, and have given me a taste of the heavenly city.  Thank you also for the very generous farewell gift.  My love and prayers are with you. 
Blessings, Rev. Joyce.
