Worship Note
Beginning with Sunday February 4, we will no longer use printed service bulletins for Sunday worship. An order of service containing the lessons from the Revised Common Lectionary (now required for use in this diocese by the Bishop) and the music will be provided. This will save paper.

If You See New People At Church
- Show them the visitor's packet in the pews, and ask them to fill out a 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.
