Post-it Party in the Sanctuary - After Each Service
Sunday, June 8, after both services
At 9:30 am and again after the 10:30 am service, we will be having a "Post-it Party". We'll meet first in Angus Hall to listen to Bob Theis, a consultant working with the Worship Space Task Force, who will explain how everyone can place post-its throughout the sanctuary. By the color of the post-it, you can indicate whether that part of the sanctuary is something important to your spiritual experience or something you would like to change. Bob Theis is an architect who designed the new Swing Pavilion at Bishop's Ranch and is currently working on a master plan with the staff at Dorothy's Rest. This is a family event - children are welcome to participate.

Women of Trinity - Prayer Shawl Ministry
Have you ever been in a sewing circle, a quilting bee or a book club? Then you know how satisfying it can be to gather together with a project in hand for conversation and community!
Are you looking for a ministry of prayer and care for others? How about joining our Prayer Shawl Ministry and finding a chance for both conversation and caring for others?
Support + Friendship + Prayer
On Thursday, June 12 and July 10, from 5:30–7 pm, anyone of any age who is interested is invited to come to Frannie’s home at 1467 Hamilton Avenue, Palo Alto, to create prayer shawls and be a part of a new prayer shawl ministry at Trinity.
Hundreds of people from churches and in communities around the world are meeting and making prayer shawls. They may choose to knit them or to crochet them. They may be experts or beginners. They create prayer shawls as a way to reach out with love and care to others who are hurting or who may need a special blessing, and as a way to gather with others to tell stories and connect!
It will be very informal. Bring your own materials. We will supply wine, water and light snacks and best of all great company! We’ll start with once a month and see where we go from there. You can go to the following link for info about patterns and materials. For more info e-mail Frannie Hall Kieschnick at revfhk@aol.com or call 650-289-9866.
