Opportunities for Service
Please help us make our 82nd Annual Holy Trinity Bazaar and Artisan Market our best one yet! Many hands make light work, and we are counting on you to sign up and volunteer on Thursday night (setting up tables) Friday afternoon (arranging items) and on the Bazaar Day Saturday (selling items, helping to serve lunch, helping to clean up). Our committee has been working hard to produce a wonderful Bazaar, but we do need our whole church community to assist. Thank you! Click here to sign up to volunteer.
The Plant Booth at the Bazaar is calling all indoor gardeners to share any plants you may have too many of, grown tired of, or don't have room for anymore. We'd prefer you bring them Friday afternoon, Dec. 5th, before the Bazaar or to one of our houses (Rachel Rowe 864-710-3438 or Margaret Nieman 207-350-2043) sometime before Saturday morning. Thank you!
Our “Giving Tree” is up! The tree will be in the Narthex through Sunday December 21. We are asking for donations of unused gloves, hats, socks and scarves that will be used to “share the warmth” with those who may need it. We are combining efforts with our Episcopal Day School. Homemade items are welcome!
We will be providing lunch for our students in the Canterbury Center during exam week, 12/8-12/11. Click here to sign up to help.
Christmas Day Eucharist and Meals on Wheels Join us in the Parish Hall on Christmas Day at 10 am for a service of Holy Eucharist.
