Roast Beef Supper – Our next supper is approaching – February 11 is the date. Please offer help in any way that you can. It will be greatly appreciated! Sign-up sheets are on the bulletin board, or call Jane Flynn at 279-9899.
Belknap County Home – On Sunday, February 5 at 2 p.m., Trinity is the host for the weekly service. Please come and offer an hour of your time to share in singing, praying and reading Scripture with the residents of the County Home. They are always very appreciative, and so is God!
Creche – for those who wonder why we still have the Christmas decorations up, this Thursday is the Feast of the Presentation, when Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to the Temple, 40 days after his birth. We will celebrate this feast day at our Wednesday evening Eucharist, and leave the crèche up through this festival.
God and Us - Beginning on Sunday, February 26 and continuing for 8 Sundays (not counting Palm Sunday and Easter), Trinity will be offering a class especially geared to people who are new to the church or at a time of investigating their faith in a new way. Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome to come and learn and ask questions and deepen your faith. Topics to be covered will include: God’s presence in our lives, Who is Jesus, Made In the Image of God, Christianity, Discerning our ministry, and a Spiritual rule of life. The sessions will meet from 5-7 p.m. on Sunday evenings, and will include a meal. Please speak with Robin if you are interested.
Stewardship in Action – Do you know that we print a few copies of the lectionary, for those who have trouble hearing the readings, but save much paper and copying costs by not inserting them in the bulletin each week? If you need a copy, please get one from the usher.
