Upcoming Dates

Ecumenical Thanksgiving Eve Worship, Wednesday November 25th at 7pm…Be sure to join Trinity and its other downtown church neighbors (First Congregational, First United Methodist, & St. John’s Episcopal) for the Ecumenical Thanksgiving Eve Worship. This year it is at Trinity and we’ll have our usual Pie Fellowship Hour immediately afterwards.



Pies Needed for Thanksgiving Pie Fellowship Hour….Since the service is at Trinity year, we will also be hosting the pie fellowship hour immediately after the service, too. We are looking for members to bring pies for this event. Any kind of pie is welcome, and some pumpkin pies will be provided by the Fellowship Committee, too. Just bring your pie on that night, Wed Nov 25th before 7pm. Any questions, contact Rosemary Neville. Thanks!



Household Ministry Sponsoring Advent Wreath & Devotion Event, Sunday, November 29th 9:15am… Join Margie Dugan and Becca as they lead the next Household Ministry event on Sunday, November 29th between worship services. During our time together we will talk about the purpose of Advent, the history of Advent wreaths, households will make an Advent wreath to use throughout the season of Advent and everyone will learn how to use an Advent wreath so we can all be equipped as we wait for and prepare for the light of Christmas! Cost for the Advent wreath (includes wreath, candles & cool decorations) is $12 or if you can’t join us, you can get a basic starter kit (wreath & candles only, NO decorations) for $8. Please Note: The word "household" is used to describe anyone in the congregation, from a single person household to a household of many. Also, there is no age limit, and we want this to be an intergenerational event, and there’s no Sunday School or Adult Education that day, so everyone can come! Sign up is on the back of the blue worship card by Sunday, November 22nd. If you are unable to attend this ministry event, but would like to have an Advent wreath kit for your household, please indicate that on the blue worship card as well (instructions will be provided with the kits).
