It was great to have almost eighty people in attendance for the Annual Meeting last Sunday. We concluded our business in just over an hour and all was done "decently and in good order" (1 Cor 14:40).
As I announced last Sunday and was posted in the Trinity Times, this Sunday we will start our new experimental process for Coffee Hour. Every family is asked to bring something small to contribute to Coffee Hour each week. If you forget or are unable to contribute on a given week that is OK - just come as you are and enjoy what is provided. We will also have a small standing order of bagels each week as well. If you'd rather contribute financially toward that amount ($30 / week is the total) there will be a plate available for you to contribute.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday, until then I remain
