On Sunday, June 22, 2014, the Rt. Rev. Rayford B. High, Jr. visited Trinity Episcopal Church in Fort Worth. He confirmed six people, received five, and reaffirmed the baptismal vows of one person.
Some people arrived early for the service, as this Sunday was the first in which Trinity’s new summer worship schedule was in place. From now until August 17, Trinity will hold Sunday services at 8 am (Rite I),10 am (Rite II), and 5 pm (Rite II) instead of the usual 8 am, 9:15 am, 11:30 am, and 6 pm services. But the bulk of folks remembered the new time and the church was pleasantly full, in spite of the rain that continued well into the afternoon.
Bishop High confirmed Olivia Aranda, Beckie Balsai, Rebeckah Fitch, Brie Horigan, Kathryn Poyner, and Scott Rudeen. He received Eric Finnin, Chris Holt, Joaquin Reyes, and Michelle Vryhol. Ann Rudeen reaffirmed her baptismal vows.
