Trinity Episcopal Church

The Sunday's Bulletins and livestream links are near the bottom of the email!

Annual Parish Meeting & Light Lunch will be on SUNDAY, January 26 at 11:15 AM in Brooks Hall. This is our annual business meeting of the church. It is an opportunity to hear about our many activities, ministries and offerings over the past year, as well as the “state of the church” and hopes for the coming year. We will elect new vestry members and review and approve the Annual Budget.

A light lunch and Childcare will be provided.

Vestry Candidates include the following: Robert Anderson, Kathy Drew, Mary Keath, John Lidstrom, Lauren Thomas, Meg Walsh. Bios and Photos are available on the entry tables at each service.

Please, hold in your prayers the candidates and their families, as well as the faithful of Trinity, as we discern and pray for the emergence of new leadership and new opportunities to be the people of God as we step into the next leg of this holy journey together.

Save the Date! The Memories Ministry invites you to a special event on Tuesday, January 28th, featuring Pamala Shier. Pamala will share her experiences and photos from her years living in Oman and Qatar. Her presentation will take place in Brooks Hall from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

Two years ago, her short forum presentation left us wanting more, and now she’s back to take us on a deeper journey. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her fascinating story! We hope to see you there!
