Christ Has No Body
Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
– Teresa of Avila
The Church of the Holy Trinity strives to assist those in need through its mission efforts. The church supports those in need through prayer, service, financially and with in- kind contributions at the international, national and local levels.
At the international level Holy Trinity has financially supported ministries in Haiti and programs that provide clean water and food for those in need abroad. The Sunday School has conducted collections that have been used to purchase farm animals for families in Africa.
Within the United States our mission contributions have helped many who are attempting to escape from the dangers of addiction and prostitution with the help of organizations such as Recovery Ministries, Benedictine Sisters of Erie and Sophia’s Circle. Through the United Thank Offering, Holy Trinity has helped those in need for the basics of life.
Our efforts at the local level are widespread. The Neighborhood Service Center, Society of St. Vincent DePaul,The Good Samaritan Fund, Hospice, Empty Bowls and Special Olympics and other worthy local groups have benefited from contributions both of money and in kind materials such as food and clothing. Migrant Workers working on the shore during the summer and children attending Camp Agape have been visited by teams from Holy Trinity with clothes, food, books and other necessities. Many hours of labor have been spent building houses for Habitat for Humanity by the Holy Trinity team that works one Saturday each month. We support our military through collecting and sending food and other supplies to Maryland military units stationed abroad and we support our veterans by visiting Camp Royal Oak and delivering clothing and other necessities.
Holy Trinity welcomes one and all to our mission efforts. The mission team meets on the last Sunday of the month between services. Come and find out more about our goals and efforts.
