Dear Trinity Episcopal Church,


All Saints' Day, November 1, is a special day in the life of the Church. In our worship that day, we praise God for all the saints of God who have gone before, giving us examples of how to lead godly lives. As part of this commemoration, we will read aloud the names of our brothers and sisters in Christ who have died in the last year (this is known as the Necrology). If you lost a loved one in the last year, please submit that name so that they may also be remembered on this day.


Our choir is preparing some very special music for All Saints' Day. During the 10:30 am service, they will be offering pieces from Josef Haydn's "Little Organ Mass," which is an amazing set of music that will surely glorify God. And of course, we'll also be singing all our favorite All Saints' hymns!


Of course, our amazing music program is only made possible by your generous financial support of Trinity Church. Thank you! If you have not yet made your pledge for 2027, you can do that by clicking the link below, returning a pledge form, or by contacting the office. 


In Christ,

Jimmy

As our pledge campaign continues, I encourage you to watch this video from last Sunday featuring Tammie Taylor, Chair of Outreach Committee. Tammie touches on how the good works of the outreach committee are made possible by your pledge donations.
