Congratulations John and Jessica Mitchell from Philadelphia, PA! John and Jessica were married at Trinity By-the-Sea on Saturday, December 15th at 4:30pm. Stay tuned for pictures!
Altar Flowers: There
are still dates on the January calendar to sign up for altar flowers.
This is your opportunity to honor, celebrate or remember a loved
one or special event!!
Annual Giving: If you haven't already, very
shortly you will be hearing from Bill Wood, Stewardship Chair, asking
you to pledge for the 2008 year. It is going to be a critical
year for Trinity as we will have the added cost of a full-time rector.
Please prayerfully consider increasing your pledge over your 2007
giving. Those who have not pledgee in the past are encouraged to
do so. We can only prepare an accurate budget on pledges - not on
loose offering.
Christmas Services: Thanks
so much to all who participated in the preparation and decoration
efforts for our Christmas services. We had a great turnout this
year and were able to get the sanctuary in great shape for Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day services. Christmas Eve services were at
7:30pm and we had a "full house" of nearly 200 members and guests.
Thanks also to all who made generous Christmas offering
donations, it looks like Bill Wood's Budget Meter
will be climbing in leaps and bounds - and may reach the Blue side!
See the special link from our main page for a few Christmas Day
pictures.
Parish Meeting (11/4/2007)
An open parish meeting was held after Sunday service on November 4th
in Kilolani Hall. The meeting was the culmination of the
prioritization efforts that have been ongoing for several weeks.
Fr. Kennedy presented the results of the surveys conducted in the
preceeding weeks, which were a "first cut" at identifying the priority
of various features, tasks, functions, activities and offerings on a
variety of global topics. At the meeting, the parishoners were
given the opportunity to provide a more consolidated prioritization of
all the key items of importance in each area.
Father Kennedy will capture this final prioritization data and discuss
with the vestry those items, initiatives and activities that may
require funds and the vestry will decide which items will be supported
in the short, medium and long terms.
As always, the meeting offered an opportunity for fellowship and, for
several of our returning Koleos, an opportunity to renew old
friendships and catch up with the goings-on at Trinity.
Stay tuned to the News page for the results of this effort and the vestry's plan moving forward at Trinity By-The-Sea!
