Fifth Sunday after Epiphany, February 8, 2026

 
WOTF Meeting—Women of Trinity and Friends will hold their first quarter in-person meeting this Sunday, February 8 after worship and fellowship. We’ll meet in the library to elect officers and to initiate the discussion of updating and simplifying our by-laws to reflect the current entity of WOTF.
Fundraising Team Meeting—The Fundraising Team will meet on Thursday, February 12, at 6:30 p.m. at Trinity for the first planning meeting for 2026. If you have ideas, please share them with a member of the team prior to this meeting or consider joining us at the meeting. Team members are Keri Franzoni, Sarah Danner, Julianna Kerson, and Holly Webb.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper—Our traditional Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper is coming up! On Tuesday, February 17 members of the Men’s Bible Study will be here to feed us pancakes and all good “fat Tuesday” fixings, including an ice cream sundae buffet for dessert. WOTF will provide fruit side dishes. They’ll begin serving at 5:30pm, but if folks can come early to help set up (and clean up afterwards), many hands make light work! After supper, we’ll hold our first annual Nok Hockey Tournament (I dunno—ask Mother Sarah.) Please speak with Larry Jensen to offer your assistance.
Ash Wednesday—We will offer two opportunities for the Imposition of Ashes on February 18; there will be a noon service and a 6:00pm service. Both services will be held in the chapel.
Mother Sarah’s Mini-Sabbatical—Mother Sarah will be away from February 19 through March 18. We have wonderful plans for Sunday worship services that will make this Lent special. The office will be open its regular hours (M-W, F from 10-3; closed Thursday).
Fellowship and Movement—This is a reminder that Steve Singiser invites you to join him on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 in Nourse Hall for some fun activity and warm company with good friends. Be a part of a ministry that will move you, body and soul!
Rutland Neighbors Donation Needs—Rutland Neighbors is also in dire need of towels; we’ll be collecting new and/or gently used hand towels and baths towels through February.
Rutland Neighbors Winter Sleep Out Breakfast—On March 21, we have agreed to host a breakfast at Trinity Church for all those who participated in the Rutland Neighbors Sleep out on March 20.  We are looking for volunteers to help set up, and take down tables and chairs on March 20.  We are also looking for some cooking volunteers.  Can you make a breakfast casserole, or perhaps some muffins or a quiche?  Food will need to be brought into church on Saturday morning early.  Can you help us?  Please let us know.  Contact Deacon Liz or Judy Hall for more information.
