Episcopal Prayer of Comfort
Surround those who have been shaken by tragedy
With a sense of your present love,
And hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief, may they find you
And be comforted. Lord, hear our prayer.

* FALL ADULT BIBLE STUDY *
THE PATH: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE
THROUGH 10/26 -- WEDNESDAY EVENINGS -7:00-8:00 PM
IN THE CHAPEL ON THE CLOISTER
“The Path” is a fabulous curriculum designed for adults who want to learn more and who are thirsty to drink in the whole breadth and depth of the biblical narrative. All materials will be provided, and the idea is that each participant completes about a one hour reading assignment out of the scripture during the course of the week. Then, in our hour together, we talk about the passage, where it fits into the whole biblical narrative, and where it speaks to us today. This is mostly discussion, not lecture. Editor Melody Schobe, a graduate of the Virginia Theological Seminary, has woven together texts in such a way as to make the path clear, and accessible, and rich. (Read more about it on the Forward Day by Day website.)
CHILD CARE AVAILABLE.

YOUNG WOMENS’ BIBLE STUDY
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.”

Available.

PARKING LOT USE
Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence. We certainly encourage use of the parking lot, but caution those planning lunch or other offsite activities to please park elsewhere after church sponsored events. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors with the new owners.
