Trinity Parish Weekly Announcements
What's Happening at Trinity Church, January 14-20, 2007
Sorry you didn't receive this weekly announcement for the past two weeks, but with my wedding and all, it was just not possible to get them to you.
*********
Adult Sunday school in the Chapel
We will begin a three part series today on the story of the Hebrew people beginning with how the Hebrews came to be "enslaved" in Egypt, freed by Moses, and then came to occupy Canaan. Today's topic is "Joseph, Leader of the Hebrews." Next Sunday's topic will be "The Exodus." The topic for January 28 will be "Joshua and His Trumpets." I highly recommend the class on the Exodus; it will leave you with chills on your spine.

If You See New People At Church
- Let them know that we have hearing assisted devices available from the ushers.
- Show them the visitor's packet in the pews, and ask them if they wouldn't mind filling out visitor card so that we may send them some information about Trinity on Monday. They can put the card in the offering plate.
- Please invite them to join you for coffee and light refreshments in the Parish Hall after the service. You might also want to point out where the restrooms and water fountain are.
- If they have children, remind them that we have a staffed youth room for young children and a nursery for infants. Please take them back to the rooms and introduce them to our staff. Tell them that right after the Nicene Creed in the worship service, their children will be brought to the sanctuary so that they can take communion with all of us.
- Finally, ask them if they are familiar with the Episcopal tradition. If they are not, please show them in the bulletin that all Baptized persons are invited to God's Holy Table and to take communion with us. At Trinity we invite all the Baptized, regardless of present or past denominational affiliation to join us in the memorial celebration of Jesus' Last Supper.
