Adult Formation: Talie Alexander will be leading us through four Godly Play sessions and we will learn how adults can enter into this way of understanding the narratives of Scripture. Godly Play isn’t just for children anymore–many people are using it at nursing homes and hospitals with adults. The series will last four weeks, ending on February 8, and should be an enjoyable and enlightening time!
2016 Giving Statements: 2016 Giving Statements are available! Please pick up your 2016 giving statement from the small sack on the table at the back of the church. Look over it carefully and please let the treasurer know if you see any problems. Thanks! Krista
Parish Register: Historically parish registers have been a norm in Episcopal churches. In recent times we have not maintained this information here at Trinity. As part of working with the old files and parish records, we are recognizing the value this provides. It also helps a great deal when we are asked how many people are on our register. Each year we provide this information to the Episcopal Church. We would like to be as correct as possible. To this end we are starting an effort to create a current parish register. Please take a few minutes to complete your entry in the folder in the undercroft. Thank you!
Bishop’s Visit Rescheduled: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, the Bishop will not be able to make his visitation to Kirksville in April. It will likely be early in 2018 when another visit will be scheduled. On Saturday, May 13th there is a confirmation/reception service at the Cathedral. If you would like to be confirmed or received, please speak to Carrol, and she will make arrangements for you to be part of that service.
Coffee Hour: A volunteer is needed to do coffee hour on February 12. If you are interested, please sign up on the calendar in the undercroft.
Thanks From Dennis Goodman and Diane Johnson: Dennis Goodman and Diane Johnson wish to thank all of you for your prayers and good wishes as Dennis continues to recover from his January 11 back surgery. Your cards, calls, texts (and muffins!) are greatly appreciated. Visits from Carrol, Maria, Karen and Krista were especially meaningful.
Our Food Depot items for February: Peanut Butter & Jelly; Cereal (regular size cereal boxes only, please)
Have an Old iPhone?: Do you have an old iPhone 4 or 5 that is gathering dust, or shoved in a drawer, because you bought an iPhone 6 or 7? If so, drop it off to Maria Evans. She would like to convert it to a listening device for the hearing-impaired to make available at church.
