• November 25:  "Let's Get Acquainted" Open House at Fr. Bill & Sunshine's home for Walters - Zaninelli
• Calendars, Thread and Yarn Wanted.  Here's a chance to clear out some unneeded things from your overcrowded storage areas. The Daughters of the King are collecting 2008 calendars & [wall or desk size] to distribute to those living in Veterans' Homes [such as the one in Collins].  They also would love to have your excess spools of sewing thread, embroidery floss, and balls or skeins of knitting yarn.  They will be sending these craft supplies to women in the Dominican Republic for them to make things to give orphans and those in assisted living homes.  Please bring these supplies to the office by the end of December.
• Christmas Pageant.  We are starting to plan this year's Trinity Children's Christmas Play! The play is going to be on the evening of Sunday, December 23rd. We would love for all Trinity children aged four and up to be a part of this event! We will be practicing songs and speaking parts during the 9:15 Children's Hour in November and December, as well as on the Wednesday evenings of December 12th and 19th at 5:30. After the Wednesday practices, a light supper will be provided in the parish hall. Please help us make this a special night as the children of Trinity tell the Christmas Story. If you would like to help, call Betsy McIntire at 544-3376. Thank you!
• World AIDS Day - December 1.  Established by the World Health Organization in 1988, World AIDS Day serves to focus global attention on the devastating impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Observance of this day provides an opportunity for governments, national AIDS programs, faith organizations, community organizations and individuals to demonstrate the importance of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
• An Inconvenient Truth coming in Lent.  We are currently assembling the materials to do an adult study of Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth during the Rector's Forum.  A study guide will be provided.  The film puts forth the argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue - rather, it is the biggest moral challenges facing our global civilization.  In order to be sure we prepare sufficient study materials, please email Bill at wgstroop@earthlink.net if you are interested in participating.

   

We will celebrate Holy Communion at Trinity Church at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22 with a Potluck meal in the Parish Hall.  This is a great opportunity for those who do not have family in the area to get together with their church family and share fellowship and thanksgiving.  Fr. Bill will cook the turkeys, gravy, and stuffing (oyster stuffing and "regular" stuffing), and the church will provide the wine.  Everyone is welcome to attend this meal (last year we had about 30 people participate). 

If you plan to come to the meal, please call the church office to volunteer to bring a dish in one of the following categories:

Potato, sweet potato, or yam side dish

Hot vegetable side dish

Hot Casserole

Green salad

Fruit Salad

Cranberry, pickle, olive, or other such side dish
