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.

Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity
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. |

Pancakes for the People's Successful Return
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 |
