A message from Rev. Susan:

Dear Friends,

Everyone is welcome to join us this Sunday after worship for lunch and a parish gathering.

We are on a journey working toward a new beginning for Trinity.

On Sunday we are taking the first step by defining 'Who We Are' 

Everyone's input is important to help us create a picture of who we are as a worshiping community of faith.

We will continue this process in January with a Stewardship campaign to discover what assets we have available. 

On January 26 Jenny Replogle, Diocesan Canon for Lay-led Parishes and Parishes-in-Transition, will lead us in a day of possibilities.  

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

Peace

Rev Susan
