ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR NOVEMBER 30, 2025

STEWARDSHIP AND PLEDGING: Thank you to all of us who have pledged to give faithfully in 2026. We greatly appreciate the same and know that God shall reward us for our faithfulness and for our generosity. If there are any of us who have not pledged yet, may we kindly request you to do so as soon as possible.

ADVENT BEGINS TODAY. “This is the First Sunday of Advent which is the beginning of a New 'Church,' season. A Season of Great, Great Hope about today, tomorrow, and the day after. It is a season of Great Hope for you, for me, and for the world in which we live. A Season of Hope that Grace shall continue to triumph over all death and darkness and doubt and evil. Why? The Presence and the Power of God is Incomparable to everything else, and everybody else!” – Fr. D

CHRISTMAS FLOWER ENVELOPES are on the back table in the narthex. Please take one, fill it out, and drop it in the collection basket. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

THE 2026 CALENDARS are on the tables in the narthex and in the parish hall. Please feel free to take one.

ADOPT-A-FAMILY IS HERE! Choose a “diamond” from the tree. There you’ll find family members wished-for items. See Nancy Beatty for more information.

WOMEN OF TRINITY MEETING is on Tuesday, December 2nd at 6:00 PM. All women of the parish are invited to attend.

 VISITATION AT RIVERVIEW FUNERAL HOME for Richard Ratigan, husband of our Trinity family member Carol, on Tuesday, December 2nd, 10 AM to noon. Short memorial service will be at noon.

COAT AND JACKET COLLECTION: We are collecting coats to be distributed by the Sidewalk Warriors in downtown Troy. Please bring new and used (if they’re clean and in great shape) children’s and adults’ coats and jackets to church. Lisa and Ken will make sure they get to the right place. 

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT We're presenting a Reimagined Intergenerational Christmas Pageant at Trinity during the 9:30 Holy Eucharist Service on December 14. Adult readers will narrate as kids and adults walk up the aisle carrying figures to place in the creche. Actors are invited to wear costumes also but don't need to. There will be no rehearsal, but if you're interested in taking part in the pageant and wearing a costume, you should arrive in church at 9:15 for a "fitting." If there's a particular part you want, let Janice know so that she can find a costume for you.

OUR PREACHER AND CELEBRANT on December 21st will be Fr. Neal Longe.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL SERVICE is Wednesday December 24 at 7 PM. There is no Worship on Christmas Day.

FATHER DESMOND’S SABBATICAL is from December 29, 2025 to March 9, 2026. Fr. Gary Strubel will be Presider at all our Eucharistic Services. During Father Desmond’s Sabbatical our Wardens and Vestry will be responsible for the Life and Witness of Trinity parish.
