Bishop J. Scott Mayer was at Trinity, Fort Worth, for Pentecost on May 15, 2016. Bishop Rayford High also was there and confirmed two of his grandchildren.
Kiylinn-Edward Daniel Lee Blueford, Knox Harrison Charbonnet, Grier Kate Charbonnet, and Timmiesha Nicole Blueford were baptized and Paige (Atta) Charbonnet was baptized and confirmed. Jason McQuerry Charbonnet reaffirmed his baptismal vows.
Tina Machu was received into The Episcopal Church. Riley Elizabeth Brackin, Elizabeth Shapard, Seiler Marie Nishimura, and Esther Macrina Wright were confirmed. Laykyn Kumiko Hughes from St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Keller/Southlake also was confirmed.
Trinity also had a parish photograph taken after the main service, an occasion involving much good natured wrangling of bishops, clergy, and members of the congregation. But the result was a photograph of a lot of happy Episcopalians.
