Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,  and the flame shall not consume you 3 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.  [Isaiah 43:1-3]

Stewardship: A Season of Thanksgiving
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his mercy endures forever.  
[Psalm 106:1] 
The Finance Committee will meet on December 8th to propose a budget based upon our pledges offered by that date. This year, especially, it's important to pledge so that we plan for the increased costs of 2021 and so that the candidates can see that we have a robust Stewardship commitment. 
                                     
We now have the option of pledging  by completing the confidential form at our website:

Picture
The Jesse Tree 2020The deadline for dropping off items is 3pm on Saturday, December 5th (there will be someone at the church on December 5th from 9 to 3 to receive items). The deadlines are earlier as the gifts must be quarantined at the church for two weeks before distribution. There’s a box at the bottom of the stairs for Jesse Tree items. Items should not be wrapped. If you selected a gift card, please place it in an envelope and put it in the Mission Committee folder outside Mother Judith's office (with a note on it with your name) so that the Mission Committee can match up the item from the signup with the family requesting it.
If you do not remember what you signed up for, you can go to the Signup Genius to see - link is
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A48ADAD2DABFB6-trinity. If you have any questions regarding the item(s) you sign up to fulfill,  please contact Maryellen Yaroshefski. If you will not be able to drop your gifts off at the church by 3pm on Saturday, please let Maryellen Yaroshefski know (email: ayaroshefski@yahoo.com or on Saturday please call 774-573-1109 - before 3pm). 
Thank you - Trinity Mission Committee

Creation Care Tip of the Week:  Don’t shop till you drop
Do I need it?  Can the wrapping be recycled?  Am I making the best use of what I already have? Can I share from my bounty with others and give rather than acquire? Consider making a gift to a non-profit organization in the name of someone you love.

Blue Christmas Service
The Episcopal churches in the Worcester Corridor are joining to offer a service on Zoom that is based on the service that you have offered at Trinity for many years. The service will be offered three times.  Our own Dave Clinkman will be one of the musicians, and Mary Johnson will be one of the readers.   
For many people, the Christmas season brings complicated feelings. In this season of joy and love, many struggle with grief and loneliness. This is especially true during the pandemic.  Blue Christmas is a quiet, meditative service of music, prayers, and readings for comfort and peace.  We remember times of joy and we are sustained by hope and grace in the face of loss.  Together, offer our sorrow and our hope to God for healing and transformation. We share the gift of knowing that we are not alone.
