ALL SAINTS AND SOULS SUNDAY |
On Sunday, November 2, Trinity will once again celebrate All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day.
As a tangible way to remind ourselves that "we are surrounded by . . . a great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1) the names of those who have died since last All Saints’ Day and the names of others whom you want to have remembered in the parish’s prayers will be chanted by the choir as we begin the service. We will also have a Prayer Table set for you to bring photographs, symbols, mementos of your loved ones.

JONAH WHALE BIBLE STUDY |
I hope you join us as we embark on a 6-week adventure through the book of Jonah where we will learn tips about studying the Bible and discuss some weighty and relevant concepts like:
Loving our enemies
Walking the tightrope between mercy and justice
Giving and receiving grace
Learning how to worship God from “pagans”
Observing God at work in creation
We’ll also see what it looks like to have a real relationship with God through the eyes of someone who grew up in the faith and had preconceived ideas about what that meant. When God challenged everything Jonah thought he knew, Jonah responded with honest emotions. The book doesn’t tell us if Jonah had a change of heart. Instead, it leaves it up to the reader to decide how we will respond to God’s call for mercy.
Ready to dive in? Don’t worry about being swallowed by theology, we’ll have fun. We’ll be meeting for six Sundays after church (starting on October 19th), upstairs in the 2nd Floor Conference Room of the Parish House.
We will start promptly at 11:30 so come a little early, grab some lunch that will be provided and be ready for the unexpected.

SPOOKY GOOD TIMES! |
 |
 |
So much fun last week for our 2nd Annual Spooktacular celebration here at Trinity. A big bow of gratitude to all who helped transform our entire first floor into a micro-neighborhood of trick-or-treating, fortune telling, arts and crafts and whimsical music from our choir. Of the nearly 100 in attendance, over half were kids!

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.
