Weekly Announcements • October 16

October 16, 2022

Sunday School

This week's lesson covers the 10 Best Ways: “God loved the People so much that God showed them the 10 Best Ways to Live. When Moses was on top of the mountain, he came so close to God and God came so close to him that he knew what God wanted him to do.”  

I wonder how Moses felt when he came close to God?
I wonder which of the 10 Best Ways is the most special for you?  
I wonder which of the 10 Best Ways is the most challenging for you?
I wonder how we find God’s love for us in the 10 Best Ways?

Consecration Sunday October 23

Consecration Sunday, held in 2022 on October 23, is the day in which we are invited to make a pledge of financial support to Trinity Parish for the coming year. Our Eucharist that day will be followed by a catered luncheon—weather permitting outdoors—to celebrate our giving. Pledge cards will be handed out during announcements October 16, and may be turned in at the end next week's service or, if you need additional time to pray and discuss, the following week. So that we can estimate numbers for lunch, please RSVP to the parish office.

Remembrances for All Saints Sunday, November 6

We will celebrate All Saints on Sunday, November 6.  All Saints is the feast in which the Church remembers the one communion and fellowship of saints, both past and present, and it is traditional to remember in the order of service that day loved ones who have died. If there are deceased whom you would like to be remembered in the order of service, please send their names to the parish office by Wednesday, November 2.

Trinity Parish Continues to Follow 'Mask Friendly' Protocols

The Trinity Parish Vestry voted to go "mask friendly" effective immediately; that is, masks are optional at Trinity Parish as of April 14. Please note that, pending further guidance from the Diocese and local infection rates, we may in future return to requiring face coverings when we gather in person.

Pledging During a Pandemic

Thank you to all who continue to send in your pledge! Your faithfulness in keeping up your pledge helps Trinity Parish stay “in the black” during this time, and we are grateful. Pledges may be mailed to Trinity Parish at 11 Homer St., Newton Centre, MA 02459.
