WHAT'S HAPPENING? |
 |
RESCHEDULED ANNUAL MEETING |
We will be holding our Annual Meeting this Sunday, February 1, 2026 as a result of last Sunday's snowstorm. See you there!

VESTRY SLATE 2026 |
In addition to the clergy who are called to lead them, Episcopal parishes are governed by
the Wardens and Vestry who work with the clergy to identify the missional priorities of
the parish and to establish and oversee policies and procedures that support the
church’s mission.
Trinity has nine Vestry members who are elected at the Annual Parish Meeting for three-
year terms. To provide continuity of leadership, three members of the Vestry are elected
each year. Vestry members are allowed to serve two three-year terms in a row before
they have to take a year off. This provides an opportunity for fresh leadership to emerge
and with that fresh leadership, new energy and ideas to arise.
Continuing members of the Vestry are: Angie Carriker, Jack Diedrick, Gary Franklin, Brian
Ingman, Kimberly Kefalas-Siu, and Becky Koskinen.
At their December meeting, the following slate of nominees was affirmed by the Vestry.
Members of Trinity who are qualified to vote will elect three persons at the Annual
meeting on Sunday, January 25, 2026 following the 10:00 am service. Parish by-laws do
not allow absentee ballots or proxy votes.

| TRINITY'S PRAYER LIST |
 |
Trinity continues to have an active prayer list. If you’d like prayers for yourself or for someone you know, you can request them by contacting the Trinity office (trinity@trinitytoledo.org or 419-243-1231). All prayer requests are shared only with a small intercessory prayer group who, along with parish clergy, offer recurring prayers for each request. When a request is received, it remains on the prayer list for four weeks before it’s taken off. Requests can always be renewed or submitted again; having an “expiration date” simply prevents the list from overflowing with prayer requests that are out of date.
