Christmas at Trinity
We are so excited to be welcoming you to Trinity as we once again welcome in the Christ child: Jesus, the new born king! After the disruption of these past months, it’s a real joy to be able to offer a full Advent & Christmas program. However, we remain cautious and diligent about the health and safety of everyone attending events here, so please remember that face coverings are required to be worn at all times by everyone inside our buildings.

Trinity Family!
Tonight we have a very special opportunity to witness "The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn"
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/the-great-conjunction-of-jupiter-and-saturn
If you would like to see it with your Trinity Family join me at 5 pm in the courtyard where we will have a special reading, a few songs by Bess Putnam (maybe a Carol or two or three), hot chocolate, cookies, and an unforgettable night of stargazing! Please plan to wear a mask!
CHRISTMAS EVE PLAN B!!!
Please keep an eye out on the weather and an email from me. If it looks as if the weather will be poor in the afternoon we will pull the pageant back along with the Eucharist service to an earlier time. I will send a special E-Genesis out Wednesday afternoon to confirm the time.
Hope to see you tonight!

Joy of Giving Online Auction
JOY OF GIVING ONLINE AUCTION
Inspired by our new rector, we welcome Trinity Church’s first Joy of Giving Online Auction, accessible from the church website and running from December 13 to December 20, 2020. Proceeds to benefit local outreach projects in this year of exceptional need.
The entirely virtual auction will feature many new wonderful items;
Exquisite flower-shaped stud earrings in 14K white gold with pave diamond petals and turquoise centers
Two-day stay at the five-star Inn at Perry Cabin on Maryland’s Eastern Shore including gift certificates for local restaurants in St. Michaels
One-week stay at beachfront condo on Gasparilla Island, Boca Grande, Florida
Many fun dinners and very special events hosted by parishioners
Festive tabletop arrangements, wreathes, Christmas puddings and a wonderful doggie treats/toys basket, all crafted by parishioners
2020 is different in so many ways. We cannot hold the Christmas auction as we have traditionally, but we can provide a new online experience. You can take part in the Joy of Giving and support Trinity's varied outreach activities in the local community.
The auction can be accessed from any device (computer, Ipad, tablet, or smart phone). Once you get to the link you can browse the various items. The auction goes “live” at 12:00am December 13 and closes at 7:00pm on December 20. To bid and purchase items follow the prompts to sign in and provide credit card information. Further questions, call Laurie Volk or Betsy Crenshaw.
Christmas at Trinity 2020
As we continue to monitor the weather we have decided to switch up the Christmas Eve plans. The weather coming in is going to be nasty and rainy all day long so here is what we will do:
Christmas Eve 12/24/20 - The Holy Eucharist and Blessings will be distributed from 2-4pm in the church. Please don't all come at 2 but plan to space your selves out across the 2-hour window. We will have an Usher at the door giving you instructions on how to come in, receive, and exit.
Christmas Eve Virtual Service with music 12/24/20 - will go live at 5 pm. You will receive an email direct to your inbox at 5 pm (if you're on our list. DM us your email address if you'd like to be added). You can also find the service on our website, Facebook, and Youtube.
Trinity Kids Christmas Eve Service 12/24/20 - will also go live at 5 pm. You will receive an email direct to your inbox at 5 pm. You can also find the service on our website, Facebook, and Youtube.
First Sunday of Christmas 12/27/20 - We will celebrate the first Sunday of Christmas at 10 am with our Children's Christmas Pageant. If your children are in the performance (or would like to be) have them at the church no later than 9:30am so they can line up and be ready to go. We will also distribute Communion after the pageant at the front doors of the church (instruction given during the service).
I look forward to seeing you all at these different options! This may not be the Christmas Eve we wanted but it's certainly the one we need. I hope you all feel blessed by the offerings and know that I am praying for you tonight. If you need me don't hesitate to call or email me.
Grace, Peace, and Merry Christmas!
