Announcements for May 2008

•  Our Celebrant, The Rev. Don Morris, will be with us on a regular basis on Thursdays and Sundays until we have selected a Priest-In-Partnership. He will be available in the Rector’s office after the Thursday morning Eucharist as needed. He will also be the celebrant at all three services on Sundays.
  
  

•   Confirmation & Membership – The Bishop’s visit is June 15th. Children over 12 who wish to be confirmed, and adults who desire to be received or confirmed, please call the office so the instruction classes can be prepared.
  
  
•  Study of the Propers continues at 9 on Sunday mornings in the Brinkerhoff Room, led by The Rev. Joe Hauser.
  
    
•   Intercession List – We request that when placing a person’s name on the Intercession List, to be prayed for in church, that you specify the number of weeks this is to be done. We will begin to keep a name on the list for a period of two weeks unless a specific situation dictates otherwise.

  Also, if your birthday or anniversary hasn’t been read from the Intercession List and you’d like it to be, please call the office with the information.
  
  

•   Altar Flowers are given to glorify God and beautify our worship. These flowers can help us to commemorate special times in our lives (perhaps an anniversary, graduation, or promotion), or they can stand as a memorial to the lives of our departed loved ones. When you contribute to the Sunday altar flowers, your Trinity family is able to share in your joy or to help remember with you. Please contact Betsy Morgan at 775-5387, or call the office to join in this ministry.
  
  
  

•   Until further notice, there will be no Wednesday noontime Eucharist. The Thursday morning Healing Eucharist will take place as regularly scheduled.
  
  
•   Anyone willing/able to help in transporting people to Church or to an appointment please call Carol Brownson at 775-6903 or Holly in the Parish office at 775-4368. Requests for transportation must be made by Thursday at noon in order to coordinate rides for Sunday.
