World Communion Sunday
“Unity in Christ”
Isaiah 45:20-23 & Philippians 2:1-11
The Greek word for Christ’s self-emptying love is kenosis. On this World Communion Sunday, we’ll explore how the kenosis of Christ is the basis for our unity with one another and all of creation.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)
The New Development Corp. plans to partner with Trinity again next tax season to help folks access resources by completing their income tax returns. Are you interested in volunteering?
Sandy, from the New Development Corp, is asking Trinity to provide three volunteers (intake/greeter, setup/teardown, or tax preparer). Training takes place in January but Sandy hopes to assemble a team by October. She especially would like someone from Trinity who can help set up, teardown, and move equipment on Wednesdays and Saturdays (mid January through early April). Email [email protected] to volunteer.
