IN WORSHIP THIS WEEK

One day Jesus was speaking to people who lived anxious lives, people to whom life had not been very kind. He was pleading with them not to be so anxious, to trust in the care of God for them. And he said to them what may be the tenderest words he ever spoke: “Fear not, little flock. It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” In Sunday’s sermon, based on Luke 12:22-23, 30-34, we will explore the experience of receiving this gift.

The choir will be singing "His Name Was Jesus" by Leach/Cooper, assisted by Laura Porter and Josh Warren as soloists. Don Brown will also bless us with "Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)" by Chris Rice. Join us for worship, Sunday at 10:30!

WHY SHOULD YOU PLEDGE? At Trinity, we pledge because giving is one way we live out our faith, express our gratitude to God, and participate in the work of the church. It isn't simply about paying the bills or meeting a budget. It's about being part of something bigger than ourselves. A pledge is an intentional decision to make giving a regular part of our faith journey. It encourages us to think prayerfully about what we can share rather than simply giving what's left over. When we pledge, we also help the Session plan responsibly for the coming year. Knowing what members intend to give makes it possible to budget, plan ministries, and make commitments with confidence. Please prayerfully consider making a pledge here for 2027.

THE REDEMPTION OF SCROOGE

Join us Sunday mornings during Advent at 9:15 in-person starting November 29 and ending December 20. We explore Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol as a story of brokenness and redemption. Each Sunday in Advent, we will journey with Ebenezer Scrooge as he finds hope and redemption. Just as Christ brings light and hope into a world of darkness, the events of A Christmas Carol shine light into the darkness surrounding Scrooge's life, ultimately leading him to embrace peace, hope, love, and joy -- the very things we celebrate during Advent.

WATT (Women at the Table)

There is ONE more week left in November to join our W@TT Bible study on the book of James! Explore practical wisdom, discover what genuine faith looks like, and grow in your walk with God through Margaret Feinberg’s engaging study. Tuesdays at 1:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall. We hope you will join us!

HANGING OF THE GREENS & EATING OF THE BEANS

Kick off the Advent season with joy, laughter, and a little holy sparkle! Join us on Sunday, November 22nd at 5:30 PM as we deck the Sanctuary and Narthex with greenery, ribbons and Christmas cheer.

Once the halls are decked and the lights are twinkling, we'll go to the Fellowship Hall for a cozy meal of soup, bread and tasty sides! Bring your Christmas spirit (and your appetite), and come enjoy an evening of fellowship, fun, and festive preparation as we get ready to welcome Advent together.

THE PASTOR CALL PROCESS

Pastor Hyde’s arrival as our Interim Pastor provides leadership and stability to Trinity as we move forward in our search for a permanent pastor. You’ll recall the prayerful 3-phase process of (1) finding an interim pastor, (2) performing a Congregational Assessment and preparing a Mission Study, and (3) searching for and issuing a call for a permanent pastor.  Pastor Hyde’s arrival and service also signal that we are moving into the second phase of the 3-stage process. An updated information on the process is available here and should provide more information for you about the second phase we are entering.

Wishing a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our following members: Tommie Marsh (11th), Art Brown (12th), and Rita Looney (13th)!
