We're back to our usual schedule of services this Sunday: 7:30am, 9am, 11:15am, and 7pm, with Children's Chapel at 9am and 11:15am. Sunday School classes for Children and for Adults are also starting back up this Sunday at 10:30am; in the Sunday School for Adults, we'll continue our series on Bible stories you should know with the dysfunctional family that keeps on giving, generation after generation.

Funeral for Fr. Tom Johnson

Father Tom Johnson's funeral will be Saturday, January 20th, at 1pm, in the church, with a reception following in the Parish Hall. We could use some help, and if you would like to volunteer to bring an appetizer for the reception, please sign up on the sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall, or contact Janice Freeberg at janice@freebergfamily.com.  

Vestry Notes ~ Tovi Abello, Senior Warden

In our December vestry meeting, we kept a pulse on our rising ASA (Average Sunday Attendance), got an update from the Master Site Planning Committee, and we heard how Jr. Warden John Wright is keeping the Master Site Plan's path clear with the city of Folsom, as well as keeping our grounds and facilities in shape. And, thankfully, our financial position is consistently stable. You'll hear more good news at the upcoming Annual Meeting in January, as well as more from the many wonderful ministries that serve, foster, and help define our parish community.

In the meantime, I encourage you to consider joining one of these ministries in 2018. A new face behind the lectern, singing in the choir, or behind the counter at Coffee Hour might just be the addition that team needed; or, it might be the one that encouraged another parishioner to think, "I'm going to get involved too!" If any of the many ministries at Trinity pique your interest, consider talking to a member of that team or any vestry member to learn more. Your involvement serves God, serves our parish, and will be personally gratifying, all beyond measure. See you at the Annual Meeting! ~ Tovi

Funeral for Diana Draper Nary

Diana Draper Nary, Trinity Folsom's organist for fifty years, died in December. Her funeral will be held on Monday, January 8th, at 11am, at First Baptist Church in midtown Sacramento (2324 L Street).

Important Financial Reminder!

If you have your bank automatically send a check to Trinity Folsom, and you have changed your pledge for 2018, don't forget to change the amount. We would love to be able to do it for you, but we aren't set up to tell your bank how much to send to us. Thanks so much!

Convention Delegates

At the Annual Meeting, we'll be electing delegates to Diocesan Convention, and I believe that these will be the delegates who will also vote in the bishop's election at a special meeting a few months later. Because our parish has grown, we now have 7 delegate spots to fill. If you're interested in serving, please contact Father Todd (tbruce@trinityfolsom.org) before the Annual Meeting! 

Anti-Racism Training

The diocese requires all parish leaders to attend anti-racism training, and all parishioners are invited to attend. Many people have found this training helpful, especially in bringing to light challenges of which they weren't aware, and it helps to make us a more inviting, more welcoming Church that better understands how to love all our neighbors as ourselves. The training is being offered at our neighboring parish, Faith Cameron Park, on Saturday, January 27th, from 10am-5pm. It's free, and lunch is included, but you do need to register in advance, and the sooner the better. Register here.
