Week of April 23, 2001 Search Last updated 10/06/05 08:59 AM Please! Pray for the upcoming Convention! Diocesan Convention 124th Annual Diocesan Convention May 4-6, 2001 Parkersburg, WV As we all know, the 124th Diocesan Convention is coming to Parkersburg and being hosted by Trinity and Good Shepherd. Not only is this an exciting event for the Convention itself, but we will be electing the 7th Bishop of West Virginia. Many people have worked many, many long hours to organize this convention, and they hope that everyone who wants to attend will do so. You do not have to be a delegate to attend. There are registration forms on the bulletin board in Trinity Hall for anyone who would like to attend. Meal tickets are also available. Anyone interested needs to contact Betty Rodda by May 1st. Inside this two-week edition of the Times you will find a schedule of Convention events and other Trinity news. The Times will resume weekly publications following Convention. We hope to see everyone at Convention. Please note that there will be only one service on Sunday, May 6th and it will begin at 10:00 A.M. Because this is also a Convention service a closed-circuit TV will be set up in Trinity Hall so that anyone who can’t find a seat in the church can view the service from Trinity Hall.  Click here for Convention Website   Christian Family Radio TUNE IN TODAY!

	FROM THE SEARCH COMMITTEE.......... The Parish Opinion Survey should be in your hands by now. (If we have inadvertently missed anyone, please call the office and let us know.) We ask you to please take a few minutes and respond to it. This is a very important step in knowing who we are and what we are looking for in our search for a new rector. As the letter stated, you may put your completed survey in the offering plate at any of the services or return it to the office. We are hard at work for all of you and appreciate your input in this very important matter. Many thanks for your help. The Search Committee

From the Education Desk of DRE Julie Button…   The author of the following piece is unknown, so I can't acknowledge them. However, the message is worth repeating in this column without authorship. I hope you agree. "Take time to WORK, it is the price of success. Take time to THINK, it is the source of power. Take time to PLAY, it is the secret of youth. Take time to READ, it is the foundation of knowledge. Take time to WORSHIP, it is the highway of reverence and washes the dust of earth from our eyes. Take time to HELP and ENJOY FRIENDS, it is the source of happiness. Take time to LOVE, it is the one sacrament of life. Take time to DREAM, it hitches the soul to the stars. Take time to LAUGH, it is the singing that helps with life's loads. Take time to PLAN, it is the secret of being able to have time to take time for the first nine things!" Here's hoping that God grants you plenty of TIME. Julie     Our Parish Prayers 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.
