    Earth Congregation Pledge
    This year Trinity is exploring what it means to be part of God’s very good creation. How does our knowledge of creation influence how we worship, operate the building, educate ourselves, and serve our neighbor?

    The Faith and Environment adult Sunday school class resulted in the formation of an Earth Care Team at Trinity, a group that will brainstorm ideas of how Trinity can be better environmental stewards. One of the first ideas we have is for Trinity to become an Earth Care Congregation.  Please click here to learn more about the next steps.

    Belize Mission Trip — Need Adults to Sign Up Early

    Doug Gardner has agreed to organize next year’s Belize Mission Trip, but only if a cadre of adults sign up for the trip before the middle of January.  With Doug heading off in an RV early next year, we will need several people at TPC to help with organizing, planning, recruiting, and fundraising.  The trip is tentatively scheduled for June 27th - July 5th, 2020.  Doug is planning to attend the trip and will be available to make sure the accommodations and logistics are in place for the trip.  If you have any questions or want to know more about what’s required to support the preparations for the trip, please contact Doug at 571-230-7700 or douggardner@alumni.rice.edu.

    Choir Links

    The choir (now called Trinity Vocal Ensemble) has a new more flexible schedule. If you are interested in singing, we ask that you find the music that you would like to sing on the schedule and then please come to the two Thursday rehearsals prior to that date. You are also welcome to come to rehearsals for vocal strengthening, even if you prefer not so sing on the upcoming Sundays. Questions? Would you like to be on the email list for rehearsals? Email Carol Feather Martin.
    Word Stars
    If you did not pick up your word star for the year last week, we have extras in the Narthex. Word Stars are literally a yellow paper star with a word on it for you to focus on for the next year.
    Adult Education
    The Bible Jesus Read: Led by Marilyn Brookens in the new Meditation Room.
    The Bible Jesus Read by Philip Yancey. In his characteristically candid style, Yancey probes seven carefully selected books and reveals how the Old Testament deals in astonishing depth the same questions we face today.
    Children's Sunday School for Adults: Led by Ben Stewart in the Lewis Room.
    This class follows the children's Growing in Grace and Gratitude curriculum (less crafts, more story). You don't have to have a child to take part in this class. This week the class will be looking at the Baptism of Jesus and thinking about the importance of Baptism.

    Bible Chat
    Bible Chat starts this week, January 15th at 7:30pm in the Library. This informal Bible study will be starting Paul’s letter to the Romans. If you have read it before, if you have questions, if you don’t even know what the letter to the Romans is then come along. No homework, no prior reading necessary. Just show up and join in the chat.

    VBS
    The Christian Education Ministry has come to the tough decision that if we do not have enough adults signed up by January 29th we will not have VBS this year.  So please check your schedule for the week of June 22nd-26th and see if you can give some mornings to make this great event happen.    Adults can sign up here.
