ADOPT-AN-ANGEL
IN THE NARTHEX THIS SUNDAY
A bulletin board of 52 angel names provided by St.Vincent’s House will be in the Narthex this Sunday. Each child will receive a toy/gift and a clothing item.
From these 52 children, each class at Trinity School has volunteered to select a boy and a girl to provide both a toy and clothing. Trinity Church will provide for the other children (1 clothing & 1 gift). In addition, we will provide 25 gift cards from WalMart and Target to be used by St. Vincent’s for those in need during the holiday season.
All gifts should be wrapped and angel tags securely attached and returned to the church office or
by Sunday, December 10.
If you are unable to shop, but would like to participate, please write a check to Trinity Church with “Adopt-A-Family” on the memo line and the ECW will purchase and wrap gifts or purchase gift cards for you. Thank you for being an angel in Trinity’s outreach program for the community.

BECOMING BELOVED COMMUNITY -
Presenter Father Ed Thompson
“Becoming Beloved Community represents not so much a set of programs as a journey, a set of interrelated commitments around which Episcopalians may organize our many efforts to respond to racial injustice and grow a community of reconcilers, justice-makers, and healers.” This is difficult work. But we can do it. It’s about listening and sharing. It is about God. Please join us to begin this vital conversation. Hard copies of a summary will be available in the narthex and the parish office. You may access resources at https://www.episcopalchurch.org/resources-racial-reconcilation-and-justice.

A 10-SESSION STUDY BY BETH MOORE
Beginning at 5:30 pm Monday evenings in the Kelso Library
Sign-up Contact: Danielle Alvarado at dalvarado@trinitygalv.org
The Old Testament story of Esther is a profile in courage and contains many modern parallels for today’s overloaded and stressed woman.
Esther, while a queen, lived as an outsider in a hostile environment. Women will learn strong lessons of faith, providence, and hope to equip them to live courageously “for such a time as this.”
