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!

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.

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.
