This Sunday, we reflect on a story from Mark's Gospel in which Jesus is critical of religious leaders who are motivated chiefly by the desire to be honored, which he compares to the honor of a poor woman who, out of her poverty, gives "all she has" to the Temple treasury.   Rev. Mary will be accompanying some of our youth on the annual Peninsula Episcopal Youth trip to Disneyland, and so Rev. Frannie will be presiding at our 10:00 am service this Sunday (while I handle the preaching!).  It's always great to welcome Frannie among us.

Thanksgiving is approaching, and so it's time for us to support Catherine's Center with the gift of Thanksgiving Dinner.  Frannie will be facilitating our outreach to Catherine's Center this holiday season, while Rev. Elizabeth is on maternity leave.  Beginning this Sunday, we will have a sign up sheet out at all of our services so those who wish may volunteer to provide ingredients and recipes so that the women of Catherine's Center can prepare their Thanksgiving feast.

The 2015 Stewardship Campaign has begun, as we seek to raise pledges to support our ministry in 2016.  The theme for this year's campaign is, "To love and serve with gladness and singleness of heart."   Pledge cards should have reached the congregation this week.  We invite you to prayerfully consider how you want to partner with Trinity in 2016 financially and in other ways, as well.  Please visit the stewardship page on our website and view the short video presentation.  You may also fill out your pledge card online by clicking HERE. 

Thank you for your support of Trinity, and for being a part of this community.
