From the Rector
Do you ever wonder if we're making progress in our mission? Have you ever felt that you have let the Lord down in your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ? Do you need encouragement to keep on running the race? We all have. I've posted some thoughts about that on e-piphanies.com .
I'll see you in church!

We have openings in the following positions:
Help with the Welcome Table in the Narthex. The E-Team needs friendly folks to assist at the welcome table in the Narthex where members and visitors get name badges and information.
Tour Guides are needed for Sundays and for tour groups by appointment during the week. The more people out there helping us spread Trinity's story, the better!
Photographers are needed to take photos of new members and at events around the parish. All you need is a digital camera and the memory to bring it with you.
Worship Leaders are needed to sustain our ministry of Evening Prayer weekdays at 5:30 p.m. in the church.
If you are able to assist in any of these ways, let us know by sending a message to info@trinitygalv.org. | |
