5TH GRADE TRINITY STUDENT
ENTERTAINS STAFF
Last week, Trinity Episcopal 5th Grade Student Julian Gant began playing the piano across from the church office.
He wrote the music himself. He says he just wakes up

He just sat down and started playing the piano left in the hall while his mother was in the school.

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.
