Library Corner (Thursdays, 10am-12pm)
Among the library archives, I found some stunningly beautiful social justice art prints, which are now displayed in the library.
If you can provide the provenance for these wonderful works of art, you will win a gift certificate to visit the Museum of Art and History in Downtown Santa Cruz. To qualify, you must provide these facts:
-
What group of artists developed these prints,
-
When they developed them, and
-
How and why they ended up at Trinity.
-Larry the Librarian to all aspiring art historians in our church.

Santa Cruz al Salvador – Thirty Years and Counting! September 21st
Santa Cruz al Salvador is celebrating thirty years of accompaniment with communities in rural El Salvador with a special event at the Watsonville Public House on Saturday, September 21, from 2-4 p.m. The Watsonville Public House is a nonprofit, community brewery and an outreach of the Presbyterian Church, run by minister/brewmaster Robby Olson.
We will have a special guest, Joseph Russ, a Presbyterian Mission Worker living in El Salvador and studying migration in the Northern Triangle of Central America. Our delegations have greatly enjoyed meeting with Joseph in El Salvador over the past couple of years and learning about his mission to create an immigration plan that works for everyone.
A $30 ticket will include a glass of beer, wine, cider, or sparkling water, along with plenty of delicious hors d’oeuvres. We will also have Salvadoran crafts and new Santa Cruz al Salvador T-shirts for sale. All proceeds from this event will go to fund much-needed water and latrine projects in the impoverished community of El Pilar.
