Hello families! - From your trinity deacons

Have you considered how you might be helpful at Trinity? At the same time have you been reluctant to volunteer because you are not able to commit to something long-term? The Deacons would like to talk with you! We are looking for members to serve as Care Partners, often on a one-time basis. James 1:17 tells us every gift is from God. We all have different talents and God-given gifts. They are all important and can be used to serve God’s kingdom.For more information speak with one of your Deacons: Kathie Wilkinson, Angela Roesler, Jane Willison or Jane Williams. We're excited to share the possibilities with you! Let your light shine!!!

Pastor April Sabbatical

Pastor April's sabbatical time will include a balance of activities and quiet time for rest and reflection. Most of her time will be comprised of resting, reading, writing, reflecting, exercising, baking, and meeting with a spiritual director. During February she spent four days in Florida for respite and renewal with her female clergy friends. In March she went to Napa California to run the Napa half-marathon, she learned how wine is made, and nourished her body, mind, and spirit while she savored the scenery. She will be returning from part 1 of her sabbatical at the end of March. Her return will include the March 26th worship service as she serves as liturgist. She will be in the office and back to her usual schedule beginning Monday, March 27th! Part 2 of her sabbatical is this fall. More to come on this...stay tuned!
