This coming Sunday, January 23rd, there will be a Deanery Meeting at Grace Episcopal Church in St. Mary’s. This meeting is open to everyone in the diocese and is part of the search process for the new Bishop of West Virginia. Your input is encouraged and expected, so if you would like an opportunity to be heard in regards to what you feel we should be looking for in our next Bishop, this is your opportunity. If you would like further information, please contact Father Hunter at the church office.

All Choir members will need to be at ALL rehearsals possible in order to learn the “Magnificat” by Dr. Richard Wetzel, Trinity’s Composer in residence, and the other music chosen for the Jazz Vespers which is scheduled for St. Cecilia’s next event on Sunday, February 13th at 5:00 P.M.

Installation of Officers and Vestry: Sunday Jan. 23rd Father Hunter will install the new officers for St. Anne’s Guild, the ECW and the new Vestry members. Installation will take place at the 10:30 a.m. service.

Lost and Found: Someone left a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses at Lynette Neilson’s home following last month’s St. Anne’s meeting. If they are yours, please look in the lost and found basket on the safe outside of the Sacristy.

The Souper Bowl of Caring is a grassroots movement that encourages churches and synagogues to invite parishioners to give $1 each as they leave worship on Super Bowl Sunday (Jan. 30). Proceeds are then sent to a local food bank or soup kitchen of the church’s choosing. Our youth will be collecting donations again this year, donations are collected in large soup pots. Please remember to donate to help fight hunger in our own community !

The date for this month’s Supper Club has been changed from the 14th to Friday the 28th of January. Supper Club will be held at the home of LaVerne Marshall and will begin at 6:30 p.m. as usual. Beverages are provided but if you have a favorite, feel free to bring it with you. Also please call LaVerne by Wednesday, Jan. 19th and let her know that you will be attending and what type of dish you will bring. Plan to attend a fun evening with fellow Trinitarians !!

Food For Thought Cookbooks are still available. These books were put together several years ago and contain recipes contributed by Trinitarians. Cookbooks are $8.00 each. Also St. Anne’s Guild has brooms for sale. Although they don’t work by themselves, they come highly recommended. Each broom is $7.00. Please contact Betty Rodda if interested in either one.

Coming this May the ECW will be holding a Fyne Junque Sale (other wise known as “fine junk”). The sale will take place one day only and be held in Trinity Hall. The ECW has had to cut donations to several of their outreach programs due to a decrease in proceeds from this year’s Book Sale, and they are hoping to be able to raise enough money so that outreach contributions can be raised back up to the same levels as last year. Please begin to think about all the Fyne Junque you may no longer need and consider donating it for the sale. We will keep you informed as to time and date and when we can begin to accept donations as plans for the sale are finalized.

Don’t you hate throwing away those beautiful Christmas cards after the holidays? Well—–this year you don’t have to. Just bring them in and drop them off in the wrapped box in Trinity Hall. Our children will cut the fronts off of them and mail them to St. Jude’s Ranch in Colorado. St. Jude’s Ranch is a shelter for abused and neglected children. The children there recycle the cards into new cards and sell them as a way to earn spending money. This is a great way to recycle and also to help troubled youth.

Also, the First United Methodist Church on Juliana Street is collecting used ink cartridges for laser printers for recycling for Emerson School. Please put the used cartridges in a sealed plastic bag and drop them off in Trinity Hall and we will see that they are delivered to First United Methodist.

Welcome Back William: We were happy to see William Christian, as well as his Mom and Dad, in church on Sunday. William is continuing to recover from a bout with pneumonia and a 10 day hospital stay. We’re glad you’re home and feeling better, William !! 

Please hold these people, events and circumstances in your daily prayers. Also, we encourage you to always say a prayer for those unknown persons who have no one to pray for them. By-the-way, please remember to renew prayer requests weekly.

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator.

If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.

If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an

economist.

But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God Sent us a Savior.
