Trinity Talk...A Weekly Newsletter

Trinity Talk – News and Announcements for the week – December 5, 2010

With Thanksgiving weekend behind us, it is now time to turn our thoughts to the Advent and Christmas Season. Just 20 day from today is Christmas. There are many preparations to be made for this, but let us remember to prepare our hearts first and foremost.

TWO VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:

(1) Jan Aslin is working on a children’s program for Monday evening, December 20, with practice on Sunday the 19th. She needs to know whether or not your children would like to participate. The program will much in the same form as last year where the children dress and act the parts, but have no speaking lines. (A narrator will tell the story.) PLEASE CONTACT JAN BY E-MAIL OR PHONE (568-2256) AND LET HER KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN’S PARTICIPATION. All are welcome to be in the program, but she cannot proceed with knowing how many children she will have to fill the roles.

(2 Cissy Williams sends this message: “So sorry we had to cancel our Sunday to sing last week. Dale is doing much better and continues to improve. I would very much like to try to get Trinity Singers together to sing Christmas carols during both worship services on Dec. 19.
If you love music, love Christmas carols, please come and join us for practice on Wednesday night, Dec. 15 at 7:00 following the JOY service. The music will be easy and fun. Join us!”

We welcome Shirley Hanner and Charles Jackson as new members to Trinity today! We trust that both these persons and Trinity will grow in faith and service through their membership.
