Advent Lessons and Carols & Advent Festival
This Sunday is the First Sunday of Advent, and we have a lot happening at Trinity this weekend and throughout Advent!
Join us at 4 pm this Sunday, November 28 for Advent Lessons and Carols in the Cathedral. Directly afterwards we will hold our annual Advent Festival in Satterlee Hall at 5 pm. This year, in addition to making our advent wreaths we will also have a Slow Cooker Cook Off! Everyone is invited to bring their favorite comfort food crockpot dishes to share.
There is no fee to attend any of the Advent events, but we ask that you please let us know that you're coming to the festival (and if you're bringing a slow cooker dish to share) by clicking here to register by Friday, November 26 at noon. Wreath kits had to be pre-reserved by November 22 due to the limited supply of oasis this year. If you have any questions, contact Bibs Babson (bbabson@trinitysc.org).

Cocoas and Carols
The Community Carol Sing has been a much-loved community event for decades. At the same time, it has been hard for school-aged children or those who don't have offices downtown to attend the event, because it was held in the middle of a workday as well as during the school week. We are thrilled to announce an exciting change to this event that will enable all to attend, and will preserve the tradition and intentions of the event, too!
Please join us for Cocoas and Carols on Wednesday, December 15. Dinner will be offered beforehand at 5:30 in Satterlee Hall, and the Cocoas and Carols event will start at 6 pm on the Cathedral Lawn. Information will be posted at trinitysc.org/cocoasandcarols, so please keep an eye on that page. In the meantime, if you have any questions, contact Bibs Babson (bbabson@trinitysc.org).
