Directories Have Arrived! |
The long-awaited Trinity pictorial directories have finally arrived! We want to get them out to the parish as quickly and easily as possible, but there are a few logistics at play before we can widely distribute copies:
- Anybody who came and sat for a photo in Fall 2019 (or who submitted a photo) and appears in the directory gets a free copy from LifeTouch. We will be distributing those copies first through drive-thru pick ups on Trinity's campus.
-
If you appear in the directory, you should have received an email yesterday asking you to select a drive-thru time to pick up your copy. If you did not receive that email, please click here to let us know when you're coming. Only those who were photographed by LifeTouch or who submitted a photo should fill out this form to select a pick-up at this time. Please let us know prior to January 23 at noon which drive-thru you'll be attending.
- Once all photographed parishioners have received their copy, we will make additional copies available to the rest of the parish. There will be a nominal fee for a copy if you were not photographed. This is because Trinity received free copies for those who had their pictures taken, but had to pay for additional copies.
- LIfeTouch has ceased operations and gone out of business, so this version of our directory can never be re-printed. This is why it is so important that we track the copies of those who were photographed and appear in the directory so that they receive their copies before we open it up to everyone to request a copy.
At this time, only the drive-thru dates will be available for picking up your copy. We regret that we cannot mail copies, or have drop-ins at our offices to pick them up at this time.
We know that this has been a long process, due to circumstances outside of our control (such as the pandemic, and LifeTouch's closures due to covid and then ultimate closing). We appreciate your patience during this project, and give thanks for all who made this directory possible!

In-Person Worship this Sunday
Registration for our Sunday services has returned to its normal schedule and locations for this week. The registration for services on Sunday, January 24, opened on Wednesday, January 20, at noon and runs through Friday, January 22, at 10 am.
To register for a service this Sunday:
As a reminder, you are always welcome to come to a worship service without having registered. If you do so, the registrants will fill in seats first, and then you can take any unclaimed seats available. This is always an option if you miss registration, or if your plans change last minute and you're available to come when you didn't think you'd be able to before.
If you have any questions regarding in-person worship, please contact a member of our clergy.

Church Women United
Church Women United's Annual Meeting will be held via Zoom on Friday, January 22, at 11 am. The keynote speaker will be Elizabeth Van Harn of MORE Justice. MORE Justice is "a growing network of faith-based congregations which are culturally, economically, racially, geographically and religiously diverse – coming together to fulfill our scriptural mandate to 'do justice' and make the Central Midlands area a more just place to live for all people." We hope that you will join us to listen to Elizabeth, and that you will consider sending a contribution to Church Women United earmarked for MORE Justice, as we will not be able to have the in-person collection that is normally done at the general meeting.

MORE Justice Informational Meeting
If you are feeling helpless and overwhelmed during this time of unrest and change, and perhaps are called to action, then please join MORE Justice at Trinity for an information meeting via Zoom on Sunday, January 24 at 4 pm. Please join us to learn about this ministry and the positive difference it is making to solve community problems and bring people together.
For the past four years, dozens of Trinity parishioners have participated in a collaboration with over 33 faith congregations in the MIdlands seeking justice and equity in our community. The commanding message of Micah 6:8 guides this non-partisan, multi-faith ministry and its impact reflects our common faith values. We hope you will join us virtually to learn about this ministry and how you can make a difference.
To receive the Zoom credentials, enter your name and email at the form on trinitysc.org/morejustice. The credentials will be sent to you in a confirmation email. If you have any questions or need more info, contact Valerie Moore (803.261.7143 or moovalerie@gmail.com).
