EYC
CHILDREN AND YOUTH EASTER CONCERT. Our church children are busy at work preparing for an Easter concert to be performed during the 10:30am Easter service on March 23rd. Our practices will continue on Sundays throughout the Lenten Season. If you have a child that would like to participate, then please bring him or her to Atrium Room 3 on Sundays at 9:15am. We look forward to seeing you there! For any information regarding this event please contact Lauren Wainwright at the church office or email:
lauren.wainwright@hotmail.com
EYE NEEDS YOUR HELP TO PREPARE MEALS
In order to make Trinity's EYC program an enriching experience for our youth and young adults, please consider volunteering your time by signing up to provide a meal on Sunday night. This will provide a wonderful opportunity for our parish and youth to get to know one another. Whatever you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. For more information or to sign up for a Sunday night throughout the spring semester call Lauren Wainwright at 601-818-3810 or email: lauren.wainwright@hotmail.com.
Camp Bratton Green Applications for Summer 2008 are available in the church office. Scholarship money is available upon request.
EASTER SUNDAY CHILDREN ACTIVITIES. Activities are planned for the children between the 8 and 10:30 services on Easter Sunday.

FUTURE EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Second Education for Ministry Group to Begin Fall 2008.
Ms. Jane Lee, a certified EFM mentor will facilitate an evening EFM group beginning in the Fall of 2008. You can learn more about EFM at http://www.sewanee.edu/EFM/index.htm. The EFM program runs the entire academic year (34 weeks). Materials cost about $340. If you are interested in this program - which incidentally is about the best course of study in Bible, Theology, and Ministry outside of seminary - please contact the church office at 601-544-5551. Only 10 seats are available.
HOLY LEISURE a silent retreat with special guidance from licensed Spiritual Directors March 28 -30, May 2-4, August 8-10, & November 7-9. Maybe it's a reaction to our hectic, media-driven new century, or perhaps it's just the logical progression for those who seek a life in Christ. Whatever the reason, our HOLY LEISURE silent retreats are attracting seekers of all ages. Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10) reminds us of the importance of quieting our minds and calming our spirits in order to hear God's presence in our lives. Under the guidance of licensed trained Spiritual Directors, participants will be given spiritual tools that will allow the "ambient noise" of our lives to diminish and be fully present with God. For registration information please contact The Rev. Debo Dykes, debo@dioms.org, or 601-948-5954.
Open dates for 2008 Altar Flower memorials are:
June 29 |
October 5 &19 |
July 13 |
November 2 |
September 14 & 21 |
