Upcoming Events
Christmas Flowers Memorials—Christmas is coming! And we’re making our list of loved ones to remember during the Christmas season. Please submit your names for the memorial list and any donation you’d like to contribute towards the Christmas flowers no later than December 20.
Christmas Worship at Trinity—Our worship services include Christmas Eve beginning with a music prelude at 7:00pm and Holy Eucharist at 7:30pm. On Christmas morning, we offer worship at 9:30am. The first Sunday following Christmas will be Morning Prayer with a “congregation’s choice” carols sing-along.
December Office Closures—During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, staff will be in the offices only on an “as necessary” basis, so regular hours will not be observed during the holidays. The offices at Trinity will absolutely be closed December 24-25 for Christmas as well as on January 1 for New Year’s. Mother Sarah will be out of town Dec. 26th-28th. Any other times between December 23 and January 2, you’ll want to call ahead to see if anyone will be there!
New Offices Hours—Trinity’s main office hours will be changing in the new year. As of January 6, the office will be open Monday through Friday from 10-3.
Dismas House Dinners Schedule—Trinity Church has committed to providing dinners for Dismas House on the third Friday of each month. Usually, this involves one or two people each month. Volunteers provide meals based on the information provided by Dismas each month (number of people, any food allergies to be considered, etc.). We’ve had several volunteers resign from this ministry, so we are excited to ask YOU to refresh our list of volunteers! For more information, please speak with Kathy Hall ( krhall297@aol.com) or Larry Jensen (lgjensen@aol.com).
Rutland Area Community Chorus Presents Messiah—The annual holiday performance of Handel’s Messiah is today at 3:30pm and 7:00pm at Grace UCC. Our own David Rugger is one of the soloists and several of our choir members also participate.
Companions in Wholeness December Drive—CIW has reported a severe need for winter coats and jackets. So for December we’ll be collecting gently used winter outerwear. Collection bins can be found in the church near the exit towards Nourse Hall. And the office is a pretty solid receptacle as well. If you’d prefer to give a monetary donation and have someone else make a purchase, that can be arranged as well.
