This December, Trinity Episcopal will see the production of a brand-new musical in our sanctuary. Written and directed by our own John Partridge, “The Gift of the Magi” is an upbeat family-friendly holiday show. But John needs your help!
1) We need two young actors. Two of John’s actors had to withdraw from the project, so John is looking for two Middle-School to High-School aged girls to take on the roles.
2) We need six elementary-school aged actors for the chorus. Six kids who can carry a tune and do some simple dance steps are needed to fill out the cast.
3) We need some helpers. John is putting together a team to build sets, help with costumes, run lights etc. Adults or youth who want to be part of the excitement of creating live theater will get a great chance with this production.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be, please contact John at partridj@aol.com.
Note: All proceeds from the show go to Trinity’s new Performing Arts Fund.

ADVENT IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER... |
|
Trinity is getting ready with new materials from the Living Compass Group!
When we are closer to the First Sunday of Advent (November 28), we will have daily prayer Advent booklets available for you. We have ordered 50 copies in English, and 5 in Spanish. We can also provide the booklet to you in a PDF format to read on your computer, or for you to print out to read.
We think you will enjoy this resource as a way to add to your prayer life and also to prepare a positive and focused approach to Christmas.

A Thank You from Jim Rawls |
|
Dear Trinity Church family,
Linda and I can never adequately express our appreciation to you for your prayerful support these past several months. Your ever flowing stream of get-well cards and heartfelt messages delighted us. We were deeply touched by the photo of your Welcome Home sign in the "Weekly News and Thank-Yews." We're especially grateful to Wendy Mustain for so faithfully keeping all informed of Linda's progress.
You've shared in our struggle and now we invite you to share in our joy. Linda's team of doctors and nurses at Stanford have given her an A+ "report card:" she no longer has any evidence of leukemia! Our journey is not yet over, but we've now passed a major milestone.
|
|
We're immensely relieved and pleased and grateful. Your prayers have sustained us day by day. Thank you. And, above all else, thanks be to God from whom all blessings flow. Gloria in Excelsis.
Faithfully,
Jim Rawls

When disaster strikes, many of us feel the urge to jump in and help however we can. Sadly, in our diocese, we are faced with disasters far too frequently.
Project (Re)Start was created as a way to both respond to and preplan for “the big one”, whatever that may be. This new program gives us an opportunity to use that supercharged energy and desire to help, as well as ensures the ability for the body of Christ to respond to those who are in need.
Unique to our diocese, Project (Re)Start is an initiative in which congregations take on packing a specific type of bin (Cleaning, Kitchen, Bedroom, Bathroom, or Infant) and storing it in reserve until needed. The project is currently in pilot phase at three churches in the diocese: St. Barnabas, Mt. Shasta, St. Michael’s, Carmichael, and Holy Trinity, Ukiah. Read More ...

For the Good Use of Leisure
O heavenly Creator, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

KJS: I like the word “shalom.” I use it in my correspondence, I use it in my sermons, and that’s how I sign my e-mails — “shalom.” To me it is a concrete reminder of what it is we’re all supposed to be about.
Interviewer: Because it means peace in Hebrew?
KJS: It means far more than peace. I think it’s a vision of the human community. Those great visions of Isaiah — every person fed, no more strife, the ill are healed, prisoners are released.
Interview by Deborah Solomon with then Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts-Schori, Nov. 19, 2006
