M&O Opportunity
 
We are requesting that those who are interested in helping provide beds for children bring new Bed-in-a-Bag sets to Trinity. The Highland Lakes Crisis Network (HLCN) is partnering with a group called Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build, outfit and deliver beds to children ages 3-18 in Burnet & Llano Counties who do not have beds. This group will meet at Foxworth-Galbraith on Industrial in Marble Falls Saturday, February 26, to build and deliver beds. The goal is to construct 50 beds. They will then deliver the beds to those who have a need. The beds will need new mattresses and pillows, as well as linens. They will purchase the mattresses and pillows but are asking for donations for the bedding. These are twin size beds. If you drop the bags at Trinity we will get them to the HLCN. If you would like to help with the build, you can be part of the 100 volunteers they need Saturday, February 26, 8-1. For more information, or if you wish to make a financial donation for this project, contact Kathy Nicholl @ 512-755-3970 or kathyknicholl@yahoo.com, or Highland Lakes Crisis Network @ 325-423-3662 or kevin@hlcn.love.

Holy Cow! Online Survey Coming Soon
As Trinity goes through a time of transition while reemerging from the disruption of the past 2 years, the vestry and leadership of the church has hired a consultant to help assess some of the current concerns and priorities of our parishioners. You will be receiving information about on on-line survey within the next couple of weeks. We strongly urge all of our parishioners to take the time to thoughtfully complete this survey, which should take only 15-20 minutes. Your input will be invaluable to the clergy, vestry, and staff of Trinity as we make plans for our future ministry together. 
Adult Christian Education

Sundays at 9:15 in the Parish Hall's Multi-Purpose Room. Class is both in-person and shared on Zoom. 

This coming Sunday
February 20 - St. Johnny D: Faith & Art, with Leesa Lewis, our Seminarian who is also an artist. 

The study of the patristic fathers, sometimes referred to as desert fathers, are part of my Tuesday lineup for class this spring, Theology in the Classical Era. Join me as I present some inspiring connections on one of my favorite patristics, St. John of Damascus. St. John of Damascus, also known as John Damascene, whom I affectionately nicknamed “Johnny D,” was a monk and theologian. His writings were crucially important in staunchly defending the value of visual art in communicating the Christian faith and in worship. For his efforts in that, I am eternally grateful. I hope you will be also after learning more on this fascinating early father of our faith.

Lenten Soup Suppers
This year we are finally regathering for our Lenten Soup Suppers in-person! Because we have had so little opportunity for fellowship the past 2 years, we are going to place the focus this year on the suppers themselves, with very short, informal presentations and lots of opportunity for discussion. We want these sessions to be informal and fun. Right now, more than anything else, we just need to be together! As always, we will close each session with worship. And, as always, we will enjoy fabulous soups provided by different ministry groups of Trinity. We hope you and your family will plan to join us. 
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper
Shrove Tuesday is just a few weeks away! The Men’s Bible Study group will be providing us with a delicious pancake supper on March 1st, beginning at 5:30. Come feast with us as we move from Epiphany into the season of Lent.
