Trinity T-Shirts Outreach is selling Trinity T-Shirts. They are $10 per shirt and are 100% preshrunk cotton. Sizing info and order sign-ups are in the Parish Hall. Or see Mary Ann Novak after the 8:00 service, and Abby Walker after the 9:30 service. Thank you for your support! |

Join in Song - We have an exciting year ahead of us with an Evensong service on October 25th, and a new special Advent Lessons and Carols service on December 20th. All are invited to sing with the choir, whether you are a regular singer or have always wanted to try but never taken the opportunity. Rehearsals are Thursday nights, 7 - 8:30. Come lift your voice in praise! |
|
New Service Times this Fall Beginning September 20 through the end of the year our worship service times will be at 8:00 and 10:00 (instead of 10:30). Education for all ages will begin at 9:00. This change is temporary at this time. Hopefully an earlier time will allow more families with kids in sporting events to attend the second service and allow our senior citizens at retirement facilities to get back in time for their lunch. |

Dinner Groups - Liz Yoder is heading up this new fellowship activity. These are informal agenda-less groups of up to four households (or eight adults, plus children) to get together for a meal once a month or as often as the individual group decides. One person in each group will organize the first meeting time so that one household brings a dessert, one a salad, one a side dish, and the host usually provides the main dish and drinks. It’s easy to do and will help us get to know each other better! Please sign up in the Parish Hall or outside the Chapel |

CROP Walk Update - The walkers from Trinity were able to raise $890 thanks to all of your generous contributions! It was a beautiful day for walking. We had 15 walkers (plus 3 dogs) and walked six miles. Special congratulations go to Alexis Anstey for gathering the most contributions. Thanks again from the youth of Trinity for supporting this worthy cause! |
