FUTURE EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
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.
NEEDED: CASSEROLES, SOUPS, BREADS: Help St. Anne's keep its freezer stocked for delivery to our ill and convalescing, the bereaved and families with new babies. Whenever preparing for your family, make extra, label with directions as needed, bring to the church office. Breads can be banana nut, date nut etc. Thanks!!!

EYC TO RESUME UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP ON JANUARY 13
Beginning Sunday January 13, 2008, the EYC group will be directed by Lauren Wainwright. Lauren will be assisted by Andrew Bird.
The EYC group will continue to meet every Sunday at Trinity from 5:00pm-6:30pm. Each meeting will consist of dinner, games, and planned activities.
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 our youth to get to know one another. Whatever you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
