Announcements

Music Director

We are sad to announce our music director Mary Y. will be leaving us after January. She has seen us through COVID by providing piano recordings for our Zoom services, and when we could meet in person, again, she has been at the piano leading our choir in song every Sunday.

We have been so blessed to have her and our choir. Many churches our size go without this enriching addition to services.

We wish her all the best in her transition, and we will send her off in January with a reception to celebrate her time with us.

More Information to come.

2025 Annual Meeting

January 19, 2025

Trinity's Annual Meeting will follow our 10:00am service on January 19. In the meeting we will:

report on our past year
review our finances and the 2025 budget
elect new members to Trinity Vestry
elect delegates to Diocese 2025 Convention

We invite you to attend in church, but you will also be able to attend on Zoom.

More information will be forthcoming in January

Candidates for 2025 Vestry

& Convention Delegates

Our regular Vestry is nine seats. We currently have seven seats filled. Vestry members have a three-year term, staggered so that three members come off the Vestry and can be replaced with three new members each year.

Members retiring this year are Steve Russell, Co-Senior warden, Steve Christensen, and Carol Holt, Treasurer (however, Carol can remain treasurer).

That leaves David Hoos (2026), Co-Sr. Warden, Julie Mathis (2025), Jr. Warden, Nancy Moore, (2026), Treasurer, and Jennifer Putnam (2026) remaining on the Vestry.

A big thank you to Diane and Jeff who have stepped up to candidacy for the 2025 Vestry.

Our by-laws allow for a minimum of five on the Vestry. We are going into 2025 with four incumbent members and five vacancies. However, the two candidates will give us six members!

Trinity must also send three delegates to the Annual Diocese Convention to be held in Redding on November 7-8, 2025. Please consider becoming a candidate for 2025 Convention Delegate.

Contact David or Steve R, if you interested in becoming a Vestry Member or Convention Delegate or email
