CHILDREN’S SUNDAY SCHOOL

During the school year, children join their families in the Sanctuary for a time of worship at both 9:00 and 10:35 services before proceeding downstairs after “Learning with our Children” time. A parent, grandparent, or guardian needs to sign each child in (registration sheet in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors) & out (downstairs in Fellowship Hall).
On 1st Sundays, our Preschool thru 5th graders will return to the Sanctuary with their leaders to sit with their families for Communion. The sign-out sheet will be on the cart outside the center Sanctuary doors.
Feel free to visit our classrooms! Please do not leave children unattended before class and pick them up promptly following worship.

Winter Men's Breakfast Study Beginning Saturday, January 19 at 7:30 am
We're starting up our men's breakfast again with a book, Spiritual Rhythm: Being with Jesus Every Season of Your Soul, by Mark Buchanan, that has been highly recommended.
Copies will be available at our breakfast in January. Cost $15. Here are some excerpts from the book: - This book is about four distinct seasons—not in the natural world but within us. It explores the cycles in our hearts that mark out seasonal rhythms in our lives: flourishing and fruitful, stark and dismal, cool and windy, or everything coming up new.
- The seasons I’m describing are not the seasons of aging. Interesting as that is, it’s not what I’ve set my hand to here. Our souls, our hearts, have seasons, too. - Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason, nothing to predict or prevent or produce one season or another. But sometimes we do have a say or a hand in it. And always, we can steward the season we find ourselves in. Just as farmers plow in one season, plant in another, irrigate in another, harvest in another, and let the fields lie fallow in yet another, so there are activities and inactivities that fit our hearts’ seasons. We ignore this to our peril.
All men of Trinity, mark your calendars and join us as we begin a new a book study about the different spiritual seasons of life. For more information, contact Pastor John. ([email protected])
The 2019 Flower Calendar is available
Opportunities to sponsor the CHANCEL FLOWERS in memory or honor of someone or a special occasion are available each week. To do so, please sign up on the Flower Calendar in the front office for the Sunday you would like to sponsor, place $30 (cash or check) in an envelope provided, and put that envelope in the day safe or offering plate Your request is published in the bulletin and the flowers are yours to enjoy after the 10:35 worship service.
PER CAPITA is “the tie that binds”
Annual support that unites the entire church in the ongoing and essential work that guides the Office of the General Assembly, the life of the Presbyterian Church and benefits every congregation and every mid council ministry.
In January, each church is assessed $32.00 for every member, active or not, who were on our roles at the end of 2017. If you are able to contribute above and beyond your usual giving to help offset this big once a year expense, it would be greatly appreciated. Mark “per capita” in the memo field; if you have envelopes, there’s one for this purpose, as well.
2019 Per Capita—where it goes General Assembly $ 8.95 Synod of Rocky Mtn 3.50 Denver Presbytery 19.55
TOTAL $32.00
Do You Have a Financial Background?
To to assure accountability, Presbyterian churches are required to conduct a financial review every year. This review needs to be implemented by people who are not affiliated with the day-to-day operations of the church. We are looking for 2-3 individuals with a familiarity with budgets and spreadsheets to complete a review our Trinity's finances. We have a protocol that would be followed. Would this be a good volunteer opportunity for you? Please speak with Pastor John if you'd like to help.
Contribution Envelopes — Year-End Reminder
Thanks to all who have picked up their contribution envelopes. Some will be need to be mailed, but if you are here today, please pick yours up and help us save on postage.
Also, just a reminder: any year-end contributions need to be received by December 31 to be included in your 2018 statement. Thank you so much for your ongoing faithfulness.

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.
A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.
Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education
9:00 & 10:35: Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. The sign-in sheet at both hours is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes every Sunday and pick them up promptly after worship. This is particularly important after the 9 am service so our teachers can put away materials and set up for the 10:35 class. Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.
Adult Christian Education Sunday morning and Midweek opportunities are available; check the calendar or contact Robin Olschner ([email protected]) for details.
