Trinity Together Adult Forum
Join Pastor Hans at 9 AM on the Sundays of Advent (Dec. 7, 14, 21) for a study on the assigned Old Testament reading for the week. We'll be using Robert Alter's masterful, literary translation to delve deeper into these prophecies about God's promised salvation. Copies of the text will be provided.

Angel Tree Advent/Christmas Project
Last Sunday to Select a Tag
Adopting Residents from a Dayspring Home and the Light House Women and Children’s Center
Today is the last day to select a tag on the Angel Tree. Recently, seven additional children arrived at The Lighthouse and will be residing there at Christmas. Tags with themes and wishes for those children have been added to the tree. Please consider buying a gift for one of these children. All gifts must be wrapped and tag attached and placed by tree no later than December 14.
When you take a tag from the tree, write your name on the Angel Tree gift form, and bring your wrapped gifts to Trinity by Sunday, December 14. Learn more about the project in our latest edition of Steeple Notes.

Christmas Eve Orchestra
First Rehearsal on Sunday, December 7
Calling young and old!! The Trinity Family Orchestra will be performing at the
5:00 p.m. Christmas Service again this year. If you haven’t played your instrument
for some time, pull it out of the closet and join us. OR if you are a brand new
instrumentalist and just started taking lessons this year, we will make a part for you
and include you too!
We will rehearse in the Bard House on the Sundays of Advent 2, 3 and 4 at 9:00 AM. Then we play first in the 5:00 PM service on Christmas Eve.
So, our first rehearsal will be on Sunday, 12/7.
Please let Dave Himes know if you would like to play this year and your instrument and your ability level.
