SONGS OF ADVENT
The journey of Joseph and Mary from their home in Nazareth to their ancestral home in Bethlehem to register for a Roman census
must have been a difficult one physically. But even more difficult was the
emotional journey
Mary made, a journey of trust.
That is our topic in Adult Education for this Sunday, the 3
rd
Advent, Mary’s Song of Trust or The MAGNIFICAT.
Please join us at 9:30am in Eaton Hall.

TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT……
VESTRY AND DIOCESAN COUNCIL DELEGATES NOMINATIONS
The Nominating Committee of our vestry will begin meeting later this fall to put together slates of candidates for vestry and diocesan council delegates/alternates. Please consider whether you are called to serve in one of these roles. Or perhaps you would like to suggest a fellow parishioner who would be great! Vestry terms are three years and new members will be elected at the Annual Parish meeting in January. The vestry meets monthly on the fourth Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. for about 1 ½ hours.
If you desire to nominate someone, please send their information to Senior Warden, John Speich at
speich@sbcglobal.net
. Also feel free to talk to Dan Freeman, Jerry Jackson, Carolyn Clyburn and Susan Duif – or any vestry member.
This year a new Bishop Suffragan for the West Region (Austin area) will be elected at Council and there will be a Bishop Candidate Walk-About at Camp Allen on
January 5.
The 2019 Diocesan Council is scheduled for
Feb. 21-23 at The Woodlands
.

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.
