Missie’s House of Cards, Sunday, October 17th…In light of the recent 4-Mile Canyon fire and its devastation to so many people, this fall's proceeds from Missie's House of Cards will go to the Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund being operated by Community Foundation. On Sunday, October 17th Missie will have many of her personally made greeting cards for all occasions available in the narthex for donation.
Early Communion Class, Sunday, October 17th, 12 noon…There will be an Early Communion Class on Sunday, October 17th for those children whose parents believe they are ready to be full participants at the communion table. The class is designed to have at least one parent participating with their child. Please bring a sack lunch, as well as date of baptism, where baptized, name of sponsors, and one memorable thing about the baptism. Please RSVP to the church office so that we may know the age range of participants and can order age-appropriate materials for the class. Questions can be addressed to Pastor Mark.
Echo House Needs…ECHO House is in need of the following items: shampoo, conditioner, bars of soap, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap and other cleaning products (such as Pine Sol, 409, etc). Thank you for all you have contributed in the past. Everything is greatly appreciated. Put them on the counter inside the door at Trinity. Questions contact Annie DiGennaro at anndigennaro@comcast.net or 303-524-9125.
Accepting Women’s Retreat Registrations…Women & Girls, Trinity is having a Women’s Retreat at the YMCA of the Rockies up in Estes Park on Fri-Sun, November 12-14th. This is your chance to get away for a few days and learn how God loves you so much, and how He can help us love others whom seem impossible to love. Look for purple registration sheets in the narthex and questions can go to Kristy Martinez, Mysti Gulsurd, or Erin Warren, organizers.
New Horizon Committee Questionnaires…The New Horizon Committee was established to assist the congregation in assessing our current facilities needs in light of our mission. The committee has developed a questionnaire that is being shared with all of the committees, ministries, and staff to help assess our current facilities needs. In addition, the committee has developed a general questionnaire for all congregational members. The questionnaire is now available in the narthex and we ask you to take the time to fill it out to help in the assessment and discernment process. Questions may be addressed to Steve Smith (chair).
