Don't forget, this Sunday is Daylight Savings! 

Remember, your clocks go back an hour. If you happen to forget and show up early to the Worship Service, have no fear! You will have a wonderful opportunity to check out our Praying with the Psalmists study led by Samantha Boyce! 

Join us on Sunday for All Saints Sunday! Rev. AC Brock will be preaching about the celebration of the saints of the church. We will be streaming online at trinitydurham.org or YouTube. The Scripture readings will be from Psalm 24 and Luke 6:20-31. We hope you will join us!

Samantha Boyce will be leading a Sunday morning intergenerational fellowship group entitled Praying with the Psalmists. In this class, we will be exploring the nature of prayer and human spirituality. This course will take place in hybrid format from 9:15 - 10:15 AM each Sunday. We hope to see you there!

TOMORROW!!! (November 5th) It's not too late to register or to give! Or, just show up at Southern Boundaries Park in Durham (100 3rd Fork Rd, Durham NC 27707)!

THIS Sunday, November 6, plan to attend the presentation about Trinity’s organ given by John Santoianni, the Ethel Sieck Carrabina Curator of Organs and Harpsichords at Duke University, to follow the worship service. We plan to meet in the choir loft at 11:45 a.m., and also see the "lungs of the organ" in the basement!

Our present church building was designed by nationally known ecclesiastical architect, Ralph Adams Cram. The pipe organ was built especially for Trinity by E.M. Skinner, a prominent nationally known organ designer.  The opening service took place on September 20, 1925.

The last Allred/Shoaf Christ Care Meeting for this year will be held on Monday, November 14 @ 9:30 in the Parlor. There will be no meeting in December.

Call to all those who may be interested in participating in the planning of weddings here at Trinity.

Every year we have a handful of weddings that happen in our church building because of our location, and the amazing architecture and beauty of our facility. Angela Fountain is our Wedding Director who works alongside the bride and groom as they plan for their big day. 

Please contact Angela to inquire about joining the team! She is looking for someone who would be willing to work as her Assistant for these events! If that's you, or you know someone who might be interested, please email Angela at: founta1@labcorp.com
