We invite you to join us this Sunday to celebrate the Divine Liturgy whether in person or virtually.

However, if there are still openings 30 minutes before registration closes at 9:00 p.m. the evening before the service, then we encourage you to register.
Please arrive early to Sunday service, before 9:45, giving time for check in. When attending the service, please wear a mask at all times, sign in upon entering, allow your temperature to be taken, and maintain proper distance with those attending.
Check in will include answering the COVID-19 questions below.

MESSAGES FROM PARISH COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Our dear and esteemed Harry Kaffenes, who has served as a member of Parish Council for the past several years, will be stepping down from the PC as a result of accepting a position with his employer, ABB in Dallas, Texas.
Harry and his family will be sorely missed by our community. They have contributed to our Holy Trinity family in so many ways, administratively, spiritually and creatively.
We pray God’s blessing on Harry and his family as they make this transition.
Our faithful Dori Riley will fulfill the remaining year of Harry’s term.
YOU ARE INVITED…
As you may know, Parish Council meetings are held monthly. Due to COVID-19, we are currently meeting virtually using Zoom.
We want you to know that all stewards of Holy Trinity are welcome to attend any of these meetings. Most all meetings (except for Holy Week) are held at 7:00 p.m. on the 3rd Wednesday of the month and are listed on the online church calendar.
For those who desire to attend virtually, please contact Jim Klemes at jim.klemes@allwaysshred.com for details.
PARISH COUNCIL AFFIRMATION OF OFFICE THIS SUNDAY
Following this Sunday’s Divine Liturgy Fr. Paul will be asking members of the Parish Council to come forward to receive their Affirmation of Office.
May the Lord bless and guide the administration of our community through the skills, talents, and good will of these faithful men and women.
