Thank you to the Committee members who put the sale together, including Ginger Lawson, Betty Bence, Marlene Seaborn, Rennie Edwards, Martha Harris, Carol Miley, and Kathy Rushmore. And thanks, also, to the shoppers! |

Christmas 2020 at Trinity |

|
|
Cold and rainy weather sent us inside for most of the Christmas season services. But we practiced safe, social distancing (above) and delighted in having a young bell-ringer (left) on Christmas Eve.

Two New Members Elected to Trinity Vestry |

Ralph and Susie Wagoner (below) recently celebrated their 59th anniversary as they reviewed photographs from their wedding album. They were married on December 21, 1961 at the Jamestown, Pennsylvania, Presbyterian Church.
The couple met in Pennsylvania while Susie was the only female lifeguard at Pymatuning State Park swimming beach. On weekday mornings, she was in charge of the beach by herself and it was the State Cop's (Ralph) job to pull up in the patrol boat and make sure no one was giving her a rough time. They always hoped for rain, with no swimmers and no boaters, so they could sit under a tree and get to know each other better.

If you have noticed a new face at recent worship services, it is Kerry Petty, (above) the sister of Kirk Hadaway, who moved with her two dogs and cat to Apalachicola from East Lansing, Michigan in October 2020.
Among many other gifts and skills, she is a Pilates instructor, a Dressage judge, and an accomplished home baker. Welcome Kerry!
