OPERATION G.R.I.T.S. - Boxes are due December 1st!
|
This year we have “adopted” a unit in Kuwait- some of the soldiers are local residents of the Miss-Lou. Pattie Jones is the director and boxes and flyers can be picked up at Reid Insurance in Vidalia. Some of these soldiers get nothing from home all year and look forward to these boxes at Christmas. The boxes must be returned by
December 1st (next Friday) as that night we will be getting them ready to ship and take them to the Vidalia PO on December 2nd.
Questions can be forwarded to Pattie Jones at 601-807-6470 or at 318-336-5202.

These new Trinity Episcopal Church notecards feature an original watercolor/pen-and-ink design of Trinity Church and Kuehnle Hall by Will Smith Jr. of Natchez and New Orleans. The original art work, completed in 1996, hangs in the parish hall. Proceeds of card sales will go to outreach programs supported by the ECW (Stewpot, Habitat for Humanity, Trinity Episcopal School, and other charities).
Note cards and matching envelopes are packed 5 to a set and sell for $10 per set. Think Christmas gifts! The note cards help promote the celebration of Trinity’s bicentennial, 1822-2022. You can purchase these note cards from the church office.

A Prayer For This Week
Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have
done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole
creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life,
and for the my
stery of love.
We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for
the loving care which surrounds us on every side.
We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best
efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy
and delight us.
Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and
make him known; and through him, at all times and in all
places, may give thanks to you in all things.
Amen.
