Chain of Gratitude

Thank you, Trinity Board of Missions, for the wonderful fifth Friday dinners you provide at the Share Center in Battle Creek.

Thank you to the Family Night set-up team of Sarah Loomis, Deb Egnatuk, Patty West, and Karla Love; These nights can only grow and flourish for families and individuals. 

Thank you to our service volunteer schedulers: Anne Bohl for scheduling the D.A.V.E. staff, Wendy Myers for scheduling the ushers, readers, counters, and servers, Becky Wright for scheduling the coffee hour hosts, Deacon Wendy for scheduling the morning prayer

leaders, and Cherie Riser for scheduling our supply priests.

Thank you, Andrea Tucker, for efficiently serving as Trinity’s treasurer.

Thank you everyone for praying continually for guidance, discernment and wisdom as we partner with St. James to call a priest to lead us into the future. Please pray for Episcopal vocations to the Diaconate and the Priesthood. 

Thank you Jim Murphy, for opening the church each Sunday and having coffee brewed for our

pleasure.

Thank you Fr. David for leading our Book Study group on “The Greatest Invitation.”



Gifts will be carried forward during the offertory

Just like in days past or prior to COVID, the ushers will bring the bread and wine forward to the altar and receive the brass collection plates on Holy Eucharist Sundays. The ushers will then carry the plates down the aisles to collect pledges and open plate money. We will still set the collection plates at the altar rail during morning prayer services. This is beautiful to return to our traditional worship practices.



No Community dinner in JULY

The next community dinner will be Tuesday August 13th, 4:30 to 6:00 pm at Trinity. Bring a friend or two. 

Your help that evening is always appreciated. Please sign up in the Parish Hall to help serve, or bring a salad or dessert to share for the dinner."

If you wish to have loved ones or friends added to the daily and Sunday Morning prayer list, send the names and your name to office@trinityofmarshall.org or drop the names and your name in the basket outside the office. Believe in the POWER of PRAYER.
