TRINITY NEWS
Prayer Partners for Lent – A Few Things to Highlight—
· You only need to put your name in the basket one time during the three week signup period; however, no harm if you forget and put it in twice.
· Whenever you recall your prayer partner’s name, why not say a short prayer for that person? While cooking, driving, watching a movie, it all counts.
· Prayer Partners for Lent is a true parish-wide initiative. Those on our Parish Prayer List and Trinitarians who are unable to attend church will be remembered in prayer during Lent by members of the Prayer Partners Committee.
· Save the date! The entire parish will be invited to a festive Reveal Party on May 4th following the 1st Saturday Eucharist. Greet the person you prayed for and find out who prayed for you. If you can’t make it, the names of the prayer partner teams will be posted the following week in Barber Hall. Information on how to RSVP for the party will follow as we move closer to Easter. RSVP’s will help us plan for the food and beverages and the setup of Barber Hall.

FROM THE TREASURER:
January financial recap: Income = $86,624 ($45,100 is pledges paid in advance)
Expense = $42,265
Surplus = $44,359
Please be aware that January’s income is skewed by the large amount of annual pledges that
were paid this month and won’t be reflected in income for the rest of the year.
We need to average $44,511 in income each month to meet our budgeted expenses.
Thank you for your continued support of Trinity’s programs
Many, many thanks for the outpouring of spaghetti sauce, spaghetti, tuna and cereal for our Brown Bag Sunday! Your generosity is amazing!
We would like to pass along this message of thanks from Robert Garnett:
To the staff and members of Trinity Church,
Sorry for being so late sending my thank you card but the cards kept coming. I want to thank each and everyone for the beautiful cards, gifts, and support during my illness and my recovery. You are all so wonderful during my therapy. Hope to see you soon and thanks so much for your support.
Robert
