NEW BISHOP ELECTION
On November 19, a special convention will convene at Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park to elect the fourth Bishop of the Diocese of Central Florida. The delegates from our parish are Jim Large, Barbara Hallam, Sandy Mauro, and our clergy, John Jacobs and Lew Gwyn. You are invited to consider the candidates at the diocesan website (along with any other information concerning the search process) - http://bishopsearch.cfdiocese.org
You are also encouraged to convey to any of our delegates your thoughts and questions concerning the election of our next Bishop.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN
After many meetings and notice of open offices for nomination and election of officers to Trinity's Episcopal Church Women (ECW), and no imminent responses available to fill the positions of the organization, the Board has adopted a "Resolution of Dissolution" effective as of October 20, 2011.
The officers of ECW are retiring and the organization that has been Trinity's Chapter of Central Florida's ECW for fifty-seven years will also be retired. We are privileged to have been a part of the ECW legacy and will continue at Trinity to coordinate with Diocesan ECW as to the following: Church Periodical Club, United Thank Offering, and the Book of Remembrance.
Also, we will provide opportunities for scholarships from funds so designated within ECW's Scholarship Fund as earnings on grants accumulate and the availability of unrestrictedfunds continue.
We acknowledge and appreciate all at Trinity that participate in so many needs of our parish. We thank you for your support and may we joyously continue to serve the Lord as Episcopal Church Women and Men!

ECW Past President

The second class for adults is a discussion of denominations and other faiths,
