These are Our Bodies

 Our series on faith and a modern understanding of sexuality begins today (Wednesday, September 5, 2018 – 5 – 7:30 p.m. with dinner) and on Saturday (September 8, 2018 from 10 a.m. to Noon). Participants are asked to read pages 1-44 of the foundation book before the session.  

From the Office
The Vestry of Trinity has hired the cleaning company “Clean Method” to replace our sexton, Danny Sass, who retired on August 31 st. Clean Method's representative, Corina, will be at Trinity to do the weekly cleaning on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Say "hi" to Corina when you meet her in the church. 

Please be mindful that since Danny will no longer be at Trinity to help you set up or clean up your events, you will be responsible for your own set-up and clean-up. Please be respectful of the many meetings and services that take place at Trinity by clearing your area before you leave and put away any items that you might have gotten out. Please also make sure that lights are off and doors locked if you are the last to leave the buildings.

Robert Garnett, Trinity's Assistant Sexton, is on medical leave. Cards can be sent to Robert at 5711 Castlebridge Rd, #333, Fredericksburg, VA 22407. Please keep Robert in your prayers.

From the Director of Christian Education
Sunday school begins this Sunday, September 9 after the 9:15 service, from about 10:15 – 11:15. Parents, if you have not yet registered your child for Sunday school a registration form can be found here and on the table in the entry way of the church and Jamison Hall. 

The Junior Youth Group for youth in grades 6 – 8, will have their first meeting this Sunday, September 9th, after the 11:00 service at 12:15 in Jamison Hall. We will have a pizza lunch, make plans for the year and play some wacky games. We will end by 2:30. Join us for a year of fun, worship and fellowship!

Club 45 is gearing up for another great year! Club 45 is a special group for youth in grades 4 and 5 that meets on the third Sunday of each month. The first meeting of the year for Club 45 will be Sunday, September 16th. We will meet right after Sunday school in Jamison J-13 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. We will have lunch together, talk about activities we would like to do this year and play water games outside, weather permitting. Youth should bring clothes that can get wet and a towel. Any parents who would like to help with Club 45 should contact me.

The Junior Youth Group and the Senior Youth Group will have a joint meeting on Sunday, September 23rd after the 11:00 service. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email .

Peace,
