Sunday Notes
9:15am Discernment Process: Church History 1… Trinity voted in October 2009 to enter a discernment process to determine whether we as a congregation will "recognize, support, and hold publicly accountable couples who wish to have lifelong, monogamous, same-gender relationships." That discernment process began on Sunday, January 23rd.
This week’s topic is Church History 1: How has the Church looked at this issue in the whole of it's history [9:15 only]. As are all Discernment Process events, this event will be recorded for those who can’t join us at 9:15am. The Church Council, however, encourages everyone to take part in this discernment process so that when we get to the point of making a decision, we have walked together through the various issues and information. So please plan to join us at 9:15am in the Chapel!
11:45am Congregational Meeting…THIS Sunday, immediately after the end of the 10:30 worship service, we will have our January Congregational Meeting. We’ll get a report on End of Year Finances from 2010, and hear an update from the Trinity Horizons Committee. Childcare and lunch are provided to keep up our energy. So, plan to stay and be a part of the meeting!

Notes
Tax Information…A provision in the tax bill recently passed by Congress reinstates the ability of those age 70-1/2 years and older to make distributions of up to $100,000 per tax year from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) directly to a charity of their choice without having to claim it as income. Since the tax bill was passed so late in December, the act allows for a charitable distribution made through January 31, 2011, to be claimed as a 2010 gift.
Souper Bowl of Caring, Sunday, February 6th…This national event, held every year on the same Sunday as the NFL's Super Bowl, is led by youth who collect money or canned food to support local, national and international anti-hunger efforts. In 2010, $10 million in food and cash was raised across the country. Trinity’s high school youth will again be collecting food and non-food items for Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA) after the 8 am and 10:30 am services. Please bring the following items next Sunday, February 6th, breakfast cereal, canned tuna, peanut butter, canned whole kernel corn and canned chili, and place them in the designated collection containers in the narthex. Monetary donations and grocery gift cards are always appreciated too (please put them in the Souper Bowl of Caring collection box, also in the narthex).
Help Needed…Trinity’s Fellowship Committee is looking for a few folks to help coordinate the upcoming Lenten Soup Suppers (begin Wednesday, March 16th). If you are interested in helping with this, contact Jane Deutschmann at 303-499-5739. Thanks!

Giving Tree Gifts Due…All Giving Tree Gifts are due back at Trinity on THIS Sunday, December 19th by 11:45am. Please bring back the Christmas gifts wrapped, place all gifts to the same person in one large bag, and attach the original card to that bag. (Please, only one person's gifts per bag.) If you cannot get your gift here by 11:45am, please speak to Lynn Twietmeyer or Pastor Mark.
Deadline to Bring in Caroling Items… This Sunday is your last chance to bring any items you’d like to contribute to the Caroling goody bags that we will pass out Sunday evening to Trinity’s homebound. Items (we especially need fruits, homemade goodies, etc.) can be put in the box on the table in the narthex. Also, while you are at the table, sign a Christmas card or two that will be included with the goody bags.
9:15am Sunday School Christmas Party…Sunday School students, you are invited to a special

We will be installing Christmas Pew Candlesticks (bring a 7/16th size socket wrench if you have it) and sorting the Giving Tree Gifts. Plan to stay and get the church ready for Christmas!
5:45pm Christmas Caroling to the Homebound…We need your voices to bring the gift of Christmas to others who cannot join us for worship!!! Join us on THIS Sunday night at 5:45pm at Trinity to help us go caroling to Trinity’s homebound. We’ll meet at Trinity to warm up our voices, and then break into groups to go caroling. We’ll then meet back at Trinity for hot chocolate and cookies afterwards.

Notes
Christmas Tree Ornaments (THIS Sunday is the last Sunday)…As you know, two of our families, the Breeds and the Langes, were affected by the 4-Mile Canyon Fire. The Breeds lost their house and the Langes' house sustained considerable smoke and heat damage. Both families will be living away from their home this Christmas. You are invited to help bless their Christmas celebration by gifting them with a Christmas ornament for their tree. There are two boxes in the narthex through THIS Sunday December 19th, each with either "Breed" or "Lange" written on it. Please wrap your ornament gift, label it, and place it in the respective box. Thanks for your participation.
Faith Commitment (Pledge) Cards…If you missed turning in your green Faith Commitment Card, Stewardship Committee asks that you still turn those in. Drop them in the offering plate on Sunday or turn them into the church office. Extra copies of the cards are available in the narthex, too, if needed.
Pick Up Offering Envelopes… You can now pick up 2011 Weekly Offering envelopes off the table in the narthex. If you have monthly envelopes, the ones you already have continue into 2011. If you would like to change from weekly to monthly or monthly to weekly, or would like to change your Simply Giving amount, please notify the church office ASAP. Remember, according to the IRS, all donations must be received in the Trinity office or be postmarked by December 31st in order to count for 2010.
