Welcome Tom Stansbury “Honorary Bell Committee Member”

       What a smile!

It has been a wonderful start of the new year and thought it would be beneficial to give the parish an update of the Bell. The bell needed to be greased because it was sounding like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz. reeech, reeech… While up there a beautiful smaller bell was hanging all by itself. But it was all rusted, painted over, and missing a clapper. Well, it said to me “I’m alone up here hanging free but; someone, someone, please take care of me.” The smaller bell is currently being refurbished. Surprise what is underneath all the rust, paint and patina was this amazing bell shining through with a luster of polished metal. The bell (s) need some regular maintenance, and a direction of the use of the bells at Trinity. Presently, I have had several interested parishioners who have shared great and wonderful stories about the bells.

James Roy (Jim) Marquess

Our beloved brother in Christ Jim Marquess died on Sunday, January 26 following a long, courageous struggle for health. Jim had not been able to participate much over the last few years, but he was always a faithful disciple at Trinity. Among other ministries, Jim served on Vestry, as Audit Chair, and as Usher and Greeter on Sunday mornings. He was a devoted member of Men's Bible Study. Jim and his wife Rita participated in Education for Ministry together. Please hold Rita, Jim's wife of 40 years, and their family in your prayers. We will keep you updated once a service is planned. 

Rest eternal grant to Jim, O Lord, and may light perpetual shine upon him.

Almighty God, Father of mercies and giver of comfort: bring your grace to Rita and her family that, casting all their care upon you, they may know the consolation of your love.
