Weekly Announcements

Welcome Back to Church Sunday is September 15th—Come to Trinity for National Welcome Back to Church Sunday and renew your spirit! Bring your friends, neighbors, and family members to Trinity and worship with our inspiring Trinity Choir, receive a blessing by our rector for new starts, and a feel the joy and fellowship during the special welcome back coffee hour filled with good food and beverages after every service. All are always welcome to join our Trinity family!

Last Call for Foyer Groups— For those who are new to the church these are groups of 8-10 people who are put together in the fall, with the idea that the groups will meet 3 to 4 times, between September and the spring, to share a meal. This is a way to get to know others in the church and establish closer or different relationships. The groups are mixed so that as many people as possible get to know people that they might otherwise not know. There is a signup sheet placed in the church. Even if you signed up last year, you need to sign up again this year. This is the last call to sign up. If you are interested in attending, please sign up and let us know if you are willing to host. The meal can be any time of day that the group selects and can be as informal or as formal as the group wants. We hope that as many people as possible will join us. If you have any questions, please contact the office or Niki Ingram at niki.ingram@gmail.com.

Trinity Parish welcomes you to the Blessing of the Pets on Saturday, October 5 at 9 am in Rockford Park, Wilmington. Bring your dog, cat, lizard, hamster, bird, or other pets to receive a blessing from our rector, Patty. All are welcome!

CHORAL FESTIVAL – Sunday, October 6 – 10:00 am Service of Worship—As part of the 10:00 am Service of Worship on October 6, we will celebrate the role that choral music plays in our weekly worship services.  The Trinity Choir will sing extra choral selections that morning in a variety of musical styles and genres. The regular ranks of our incredibly devoted and inspirational choir will be joined by numerous guest vocalists and guest instrumentalists for this special service.  We hope that you can join us for this unique Sunday in the life of our parish.  It would be a wonderful opportunity to invite friends, neighbors and family to join you for our 10:00 am Service of Worship on October 6.  As Psalm 150 implores all of us … ‘Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flutes! Praise Him with a clash of cymbals; praise Him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord!”

Sunday, October 13 at Noon, Trinity Celebrates Hispanic Heritage—Trinity will have one bilingual service on Sunday, October 13 in honor of Hispanic Heritage. The service will include special performances by an Aztec dancing troupe. Please join us!

TAAT Season opens on October 25 – The Arts at Trinity will present THE JAMES FERNANDO TRIO with Taisha Estrada on Friday, October 25, at 7:30 pm.  Hailed as a “prodigiously gifted composer and virtuoso pianist,” James Fernando creates music that lies at the intersection of jazz, classical, and electronic music. His trio delivers genre-expanding original compositions, as well as an eclectic mix of well-known compositions from many different eras and styles of jazz.  The trio will be joined by Puerto Rican singer Taisha Estrada, whose vocals, rooted in the traditions of Latin and American jazz, have an innovative, multi-genre sound.  As with all TAAT concerts, admission is FREE, including receptions before and after the concert.  Kick off your October weekend with a Friday evening of soulful, autumnal jazz!
