come to Trinity on

grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty
God.”
CT Valley Symphony Orchestra and
the Manchester Symphony Orch.
Today at 3:00 p.m., the CVSO will join forces with the

the week ahead.
The Sigourney Street doors of the church will open
at 7:50 p.m. You may sit in the chancel with those
offering the service, or, if you wish, you may sit in
the darkened nave.
Sign up Now for Foyer Groups
These are groups of 7-8 people who will meet once
a month in homes for the simple purpose of getting
to know our fellow Trinity worshippers better.
Meetings will begin in mid-January and continue
until all who wish to host a gathering have had that
opportunity, most likely finishing in the spring.
Groups will be formed with the goal of
1) including a cross section of the parish - singles
and couples, long-time members and newcomers,
etc., and 2) keeping geography in mind. Sign up
by filling out the sheet that's available at the
table in Goodwin Hall. If you have any questions,
talk to the folks there. Hope you can join us!

Warm Clothing for

grade 3 students do not have the proper jackets or
sweaters for walking to and from the YWCA. If you
have any extra medium or large children's jackets
or sweaters, pleas e consider donating them to the
Trinity Academy students. Hats, gloves and
scarves would also be appreciated. Donations can
be dropped off in the parish office or placed on a
donation table in Goodwin Hall on Sunday
mornings.
The offices and buildings will be
closed Thursday, November 27,
Thanksgiving Day, and Friday,
November 28, with the exception
of the 10:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist
on Thanksgiving Day
and 12-step meetings
Outreach: Foodshare
Following both services on Sundays from
November 2-23, the Outreach Team will have for
you information about Foodshare, and about
opportunities to contribute to this organization.
Foodshare is the regional food bank for Hartford
and Tolland Counties, and is part of the national
"Feeding America" network.
At this time of the year Foodshare has a special
campaign: "A Turkey and A $30". They collect
turkeys for thanksgiving distribution, and money
that will help feed families year round. A $30
donation to Foodshare provides enough food to
feed a hungry neighbor for a month. We invite you
to learn more about Foodshare at the Outreach
table in Goodwin Hall, and to find out about ways
you can help in this important campaign.
Book Group
In December, Trinity's Book Group will celebrate the
season with the theme of Pageants. The reading
selection, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by
Barbara Robinson, is a children's book that appeals to
all ages. At the gathering itself, we'll read and act out
nativity pageants written by Mark MacGougan. This
meeting will be on Friday, December 12th, 7:00 9:00 p.m., at the home of Jane Harris in Glastonbury.
Please let her know if you plan to attend by
calling 860-280-8121, or emailing

church. There is no set admission charge for this
event; a free will offering is requested.
ADVENT GIVING 2014
The Outreach team invites you to participate once
again in an Advent Season of Giving, to make a
difference in the lives of people you do not know. It
will be a season of sharing with and caring for
people in need, for the hungry and the homeless and through us, sharing God's love with them.
- First Sunday, November 30: Our Giving Tree will
be up, filled with the gift requests of local children
through Covenant to Care.
- Second Sunday, December 7: We will collect
toiletries and clothing, and invite you to purchase
one of our green Trinity bags for $5 for us to load
up and give away to the homeless and those in
need.
- Third Sunday, December 14: We will be gathering
in and blessing all the Giving Tree gifts.
- On Tuesday December 16 and Wednesday
December 17: The Loaves & Fishes ministry teams
will be preparing for and servicing meals at
Immanuel Church.
- Nearly the fourth Sunday - Saturday, December
20: Everyone in the parish is invited to help wrap
and prepare everything to fill our Trinity bags to
bring to Bushnell Park for our Feeding in the
Park/Church by the Pond ministry.
More details on all of these activities will be in the
Sunday bulletins and on special "Advent Giving"
flyers on the Welcome Table and the Outreach
bulletin board in Goodwin Hall.
Please mark your calendars and plan to participate
in every way you can. Our Advent Season of
Giving will help each of us get ready in our lives for
the celebration of the birth of Jesus.

their appointments. You can help by donating your
unused calendars. Bring them with you the next time
you come to Trinity and place them on the name tag
