Food Closet Update
- Each family that visits our Food Closet gets to visit just ONCE each month. By the middle of the month the shelves are pretty
bare. When you do your food shopping this week, please buy a few extra sale items for the Food Closet.
- Gardeners and Growers, please leave fruit and vegetables in the Undercroft refrigerator for the Food Closet families. The
refrigerator is open and people can bring stuff in any time.
- A reminder to children attending Sunday School: your class receives a sticker on the board for each food item you bring to your Sunday School room for the Food Closet.
Trinity Church Launches
Major Capital Campaign!
As of July 2009, the pledge amount is $146,279 from 76 parish families.
Our goal is $350,000. We can break ground when we reach $250,000.Trainers Needed
We are looking for volunteers to be trained to teach a class in money management. The Episcopal Diocese has received funding from
Domestic Bank (as penance for questionable lending practices) to provide Financial Wellness training to members of our community.
Training will be provided. Classes start in the Fall. Trinity has offered our space for classes. Classes will be held throughout the Diocese. For
more information on this very interesting opportunity ... click here Recipe
It was so great to see so many friends at our Prime Rib Dinner.

DISCUSSION ON A PROPOSAL TO CHANGE THE TIME OF SUNDAY SERVICES
Up for discussion is a biggie: Changing our Sunday Service schedule to move Sunday School (aka Youth Formation) between the two Sunday
morning services in Fall 2010 to look something like this:
8:00am service
9:15 to 10:00am Sunday School (aka Youth Formation) and Adult Formation/Bible Study
10:15am service - Children's Liturgy would still be available during the 10:15 service
Some thoughts that have been brought up:
- This schedule provides a common time (between the two services) for Community, such as a shared coffee hour, Ministries Fair, etc.
- Providing Sunday School/Youth Formation between the two services gives families the option of attending either service. This is a way to balance attendance at both services.
- Similar schedules have been used successfully by many other Churches for many years.
Please join the discussion ...
feel free to email Rev. Pam or comment on the
Trinity Blog or the Trinity Facebook page. Thank you, in advance,
for participating in this survey! Susan Carpenter Ordained to the Priesthood

St. George's Kitchen
Trinity Church, as part of the Outreach Committee Program, has again committed to serve on several Sundays at the soup kitchen at St.
George's Episcopal Church in Central Falls. We help prepare and serve the meal and then we help with the clean-up. It takes about 3 hours on a
Sunday afternoon and would require a very small amount of time total as we are needed for only five Sundays a year. If this is a mission you
might enjoy, please contact Milt or Phyllis Schumacher at 647-3905.
Save Your Old Cell Phones & Printer Cartridges!
Join our "Planet Green" Inkjet, Laser Cartridge & Cell Phone Fundraising/Recycling Program. Simply bring all used cell phones,
inkjet and laser cartridges to church and drop them in the basket in the undercroft outside the church office. Ask family and friends to save all
their ink cartridges, and ask at your place of work if you can have the used cartridges for our fundraiser. We'll send everything in for recycling,
raising funds and keeping our planet green, too! Together we can make a BIG difference!Note: Please do not drop off TONER CARTRIDGES as the recycling
company does not accept them at this time. Campership Ideas & Donations Needed
Each year we send several of our parish children to ECC camp on a "Campership." Please help us increase our Campership Fund this year!
