Vestry Members Needed
As we begin to think ahead to our holiday celebrations and the end of the year, we must also think about the Annual Meeting on January 15, 2023, and the need for new Vestry members. There will be a couple of vacant spots which need to be filled for 3-year terms. The Vestry meets on the third Sunday of each month to discuss pertinent issues in the church and make decisions that impact the parish. This is another ministry for people to consider with time and talent. Please contact any Vestry member for more information and with any questions you may have. “Here am I, Lord….”

Benefit Concert
There will be a concert to benefit the Minersville Historical Society on Sunday, December 11 at 3 pm. This Christmas sing a long concert played by F. Allen Artz III was very successful last year. The Society and Mr. Artz were very generous to the church and very appreciative of our beautiful sanctuary and organ. The suggested donation is $10 and the weather date is December 18th. Another wonderful community event held at Trinity.

Christmas Flower Memorials
The flower memorials will be different this year. Because of the lack of donations last year to pay for our poinsettias to decorate the church, we are asking people to sponsor poinsettias as memorials or thanksgivings. An 8-inch poinsettia will be $48.00 each.

Counters Needed
We are in need of counters — as of the first of the year, there will only be 4 people who volunteer for this important task. Please speak to any member of the Vestry if you feel called for this ministry.

Clothesline of Love

You are invited to join in the fun. Bring a tray of your favorite cookies or some other holiday treats (like spiced nuts or candy or your choice) to display in the lounge. After the 9 am service, everyone gets a bag to select their favorite treats to take home.
If you are not able to bake or create something, please join us for fellowship and sharing goodies to go. There will be plenty for all.
