All over the world, december 21 is recognized as a time to remember those who have died in a state of homelessness during the past year. As in past years, trinity is partnering with the resuce mission for the memorial event.  we begin at the rescue mission (404 e. washington bldv.) at 6:00 PM for readings, prayers, and the reading of names of those who died locally. following the observation, people are invited to walk to telc. we will arrive at the cloister garden around 6:40-ish, where we will light individual candles and distribute cards with names of those who died. if weather permits, we will make a circle around the building and enter the chapel for brief songs and prayers. a small reception follows. join us at the resue mission, on the walk, or at the cloister garden.

Advent readings
The word “Advent” comes from the Latin “adventus,” which means “coming” or “arrival.” This relates to the birth of Jesus Christ in the Nativity Story.
The first Sunday in Advent is November 27th, and we celebrate during the four Sundays before Christmas. It is a time of waiting, preparing, and reflecting
on how Jesus brings light, peace, and joy into the world through us.

Week one: Hope (Psalm 25:4-5)
Week two: Peace (John 14:25-27)
Week three: Joy (Philippians 4:4-6)
Week four: Love (1 John 4:7-12)
Christmas Eve/Day: The Christ Candle (Luke 2:1-16)
