WA Perry Pop-Up Shops
Starting today, we will be collecting items for several "Pop-Up Shops" to support the students and families of WA Perry. The pop-up shops will take place October 6 and November 17. There will also be a Turkey Drive just in time for the holidays on December 15.
Donation items include: canned meals (ravioli, beanie weenies, spaghetti-os), canned tuna/chicken, peanut butter, granola bars. Items can be delivered to Trinity and placed on a cart outside of the Welcome Center, or contact Bibs Babson (bbabson@trinitysc.org) for pick-up. We're also partnering with FoodshareSC to purchase boxes of vegetables and fruit to be delivered the day of the Pop-Up Shop. These boxes are $15 each. For those who received an EBT card from the school district and are wondering how to best put this to use, two boxes can be purchased for $10.00 with the EBT card. You also may purchase the items listed above with the EBT card and then donate them.
Research strongly indicates the importance of nutrition and education. Please help us provide this much needed nutrition for these children and their families.
Additionally, the Daughters of the Holy Cross will also be contributing to the WA Perry pop-up shops with donations of: hand soap (liquid or bar), liquid dish detergent, laundry detergent and bleach. Items may be dropped off outside of the Welcome Center or contact Bibs Babson (bbabson@trinitysc.org) for home pick-up. Items may also be dropped off at 12 Ashley Court (enter via the side gate at left and place items in the box on the covered porch, and please be sure to secure the gate.)

A New Bible Study in the Book of Psalms
Join Rusty Miller and Debbie Yoho for a new weekly study in the Book of Psalms via Zoom. Beginning with a four-week introduction using Psalms by the Day: A New Devotional Translation by Alec Motyer, the study is designed to equip participants with a systematic framework for on-going personal and group experiences with the Psalter. We will discuss who wrote the Psalms, their place in worship and the structure of the Psalter, and then examine a verse-by-verse method for savoring the richness of this precious Scripture. Psalms by the Day offers a new translation and a fresh in-depth opportunity for spiritual growth.
The class started Sunday, September 20 and meets weekly on Sundays at 5 pm. The book the class will be using, Psalms By The Day: A New Devotional Translation, can be purchased here on Amazon and shipped directly to you at your home.

Purchase a Casserole and Help Support a Ministry
When you purchase a casserole from Trinity, not only do you receive a delicious meal (and not have to worry about what to make for dinner that evening), but you also help support the Kitchen in their quest to provide casseroles to those in need--both in our parish, and the greater community. A portion of all casserole sales go back to the ministry so they can keep providing meals to anyone in need.
Along with the help of her Kitchen Angels, our Kitchen Coordinator, Andrella Brunson, is excited to now be able to offer Trinity's parishioners four different casseroles for purchase right now: Lemon Rosemary Chicken, Spaghetti Pie, Chicken Tetrazzini and Tomato Pie.
Please note the new pricing per casserole: $8 for a casserole that feeds two people, the $12 size feeds four people, and a half pan size is $28 and feeds 12 people. Pick up is available at a mutually agreed upon time at the Cathedral, or delivery to your home can also be arranged. To purchase a casserole, contact Andrella at brunson@trinitysc.org, or 803.261.7471.

Stewardship Update
If you haven't yet, please read the email sent by Canon Grosso and Senior Warden Wade Stinnette regarding Trinity's financial standing, and how you can help by bringing your pledge up-to-date to the extent you're able. Please click here to read the message.
Even though the present feels uncertain since we're in the midst of a pandemic, there are exciting times ahead. In-person worship has resumed, and we hope to resume other programs soon as well. Trinity is searching for a new Dean, and there are several other staff positions to fill. We want to meet the exciting times ahead with a strong financial foundation. That is why bringing your pledge up-to-date—if you're able—is vital to Trinity's future.
Not sure where your offerings stand in relation to your pledge? Click here for instructions for checking your pledge balance, or contact Ryan Headley (rheadley@trinitysc.org, or 803.461.7302).
