On Sunday July 11th, 2021 Deacon Gwen was officially installed as a Synodical Deacon who has answered the call of service to the outreach and prayer ministries at Trinity LIC/Astoria.

Deacon Gwen has demonstrated her strong faith, concern to the communities we service, and leadership throughout 2020 through The Prayer Care Ministry and outreach initiatives such as the “Living Faith Boldly” presentation & “Color of Faith” initiative, and our trivia nights.

 Color of Faith is a safe and respectful space for discussions on various issues faced by people of color within faith communities from ethnic cultural perspectives.

 Through The Prayer Care Team, Deacon Gwen has overseen the development of Prayer Call-In Line on Monday Evenings at 8pm and Blessings & Brunch. These dial-in spaces are for callers to request and participate in community prayers. In April, The Prayer Care Team also hosted a “Blessing of the Ministries” on our Zoom Worship.

 We are grateful for the initiatives, service, and work that Deacon Gwen has done for over a year as an Intern-Deacon during the pandemic and look forward to her continued service. Congratulations Gwen!

Prayer Call-In Line is (732) 434-3943.
