Bishop Mayer visited Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Midland on April 19 for a joyful celebration that included one baptism and the confirmation of three members of the congregation. These sacred moments marked important milestones in the lives of those being welcomed more deeply into the life of the Church and offered the congregation an opportunity to celebrate God’s faithfulness together.
The Diocese of Northwest Texas gives thanks for all who participated in the service and for the vibrant ministry of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Please continue to keep the newly baptized and confirmed members in your prayers as they continue to grow in faith and discipleship.
