Women of Trinity, mark your calendar and plan to attend this year's Fall Gathering on Thursday, October 22.  Join us in the May Room at 6:30 for fellowship, food and fun! In conjunction with the ECW's new cookbook effort, bring your favorite dish (with the recipe) so we can add it to the cookbook.

Please bring a dish according to the first letter of your last name (the ECW will provide the main dish):

• A-F Appetizer
• G-N Side dish/vegetable
• O-S Salad
• T-Z Dessert

To enhance the culinary theme we'll also hold a cookbook and kitchenware swap! Bring in the gently used cookbooks, small working kitchen appliances, gadgets and tools that have been residing in your kitchen graveyard to make room for something "new." You can clean out your cupboards and shop all at the same time!

There will be a sign up sheet outside the May Room or you may call Shannon Gemeinhardt at 431-1136 or email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please RSVP by October 18.

If you are interested in running for vestry or would like to nominate someone who you would like to see serve, please fill out this form and submit no later than October 17th.

On Saturday, October 10^th at 9:00 a.m. to celebrate St. Francis Day, we are again having a pet blessing.  You are invited to bring your pet to the small parking lot to be blessed. We do ask that you restrain your pet.

If your pet does not travel well, you too are invited to this event.  Bring a photograph of your pet so that he/she can receive a vicarious pet blessing.

I believe every creature is important. The love we give to a pet, and receive from a pet, can draw us more deeply into the larger circle of life, into the wonder of our common relationship to our Creator.

To ensure that older residents in Boone, Kenton, Campbell & Grant counties can enjoy the companionship of their pets Senior Services of Northern Kentucky began the “Animeals on Wheels” program which provides donated pet food to pet companions in the Northern Kentucky Community.

To support this Northern Kentucky Senior Services project, we are asking everyone to bring a donation of dog and cat food to church on Sunday, October 4^th and on Sunday, October11^th.
