On Sunday, October 8th, we will have guest, Dallas Bonavita from “Note in the Pocket” share ways that we can get involved with this ministry. Here is a little bit about her. 

Dallas Bonavita, Executive Director

Dallas was instrumental in developing the nonprofit, Note in the Pocket, was a founding member of its Board of Directors and serves as the first Executive Director. Her passion for youth and community volunteerism began in college where she worked with troubled youth.

She holds a BS in Parks and Recreation Management from Western Carolina University and has earned an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership from the Harvard Kennedy School. Mrs. Bonavita is a North Carolina native and has lived in Raleigh for over 25 years with her husband Frank, their two grown children, and two dogs, Sloan and Chet.

“Every day I get to work with amazing people dedicated to bringing dignity and love to children and families in our community who are suffering from clothing insecurity. I am thankful for the privilege to serve with such a wonderful staff, a supportive board, and the best volunteers, financial supporters, school social workers, and agency caseworkers in the world.”

How to get involved:

We will open for Durham volunteers later this year, but in the meantime we need your help collecting clothing donations and spreading the word! If you are interested in hosting a clothing drive please contact info@noteinthepocket.org. We currently have two Durham donation collection sites and you can view that information on our website- https://noteinthepocket.org/donate-clothing/. Follow us on Social Media, on Facebook and Instagram (@noteinthepocket). Questions about how to get involved please contact Sarah Caldwell, sarahc@noteinthepocket.org.

Durham United Methodist Youth Collective announcement:

Youth Group Field Day for students 6th to 12th grade!

Bring your pet to the front lawn of the church for a special "Blessing of the Animals".

The Blessing of the Animals service is inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, a thirteenth-century Italian Catholic friar who lived a life of voluntary poverty and is known for his love of animals. He believed the natural world could give glory to God, writing in his song Canticle of the Sun, "Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures."

Songs For Humans presents, "There is a Season", and autumn singalong, this Sunday, Oct. 8th at 6:30pm at Fullsteam Brewery. There will be a collection taken up to benefit Open Table Ministry. This event is sponsored by Duke Memorial, and Epsworth UMC. It's a great opportunity to come and have some fun, and support the ministry of Open Table! Hope to see you there.

Allred/Shoaf Christ Care group will meet Monday, Oct. 9th at 9:30am in the Parlor. All women are welcome to join.

On Sunday, October 15, we will begin a churchwide study and worship emphasis called Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity. Over a period of 4 weeks, we will look at some of the financial challenges facing us as a nation and examine our own spending, saving, and giving habits. In addition to exploring biblical principles of financial management, we will learn ways to assess our financial situation and develop a financial plan that will allow us to experience the true joy that comes through simplicity and generosity.

At the end of the emphasis, we will have the opportunity to make personal commitments of giving for the coming year. We will consecrate these commitments on Sunday, November 12, and Sunday, November 19. 

July’s event was a wonderful opportunity for teamwork and re-connection with friends. The next 5th Sunday is October 28th.   We would love to do it again to reestablish the long held Trinity tradition. In order to make it happen, we need 2 lay people to take the lead. No need to reinvent the wheel, we already have the system set up and ready to go, we just need someone to take the lead on coordinating. 

If you are willing to serve in this capacity or have questions, please call Rev. Carolyn at (919) 530-9477 (new number) or email Carolyn@trinitydurham.org

We will meet every Wednesday, at 12:00 PM

Join us when you can, we are having such a wonderful time getting to know our neighbors and unsheltered friends.
