Upcoming Events

Rotational Shelter
Feb 12 - 26

The rotational shelter is right around the corner; Trinity's two-week period begins Saturday, February 12. Sign-ups are in progress now. The co-chairpersons for the shelter this year are Paul DesForges and Crystal Jefferson. Give them a call (760-735-8060 and 760-740-9215) or send them an email (rotationalshelter@trinityescondido.org) and sign-up now. Your help is needed if we are to provide the hospitality our guests deserve.

There are several ways you can help. First and foremost is preparing the little house for their arrival on Saturday, February 12. We need to clean the house, hang curtains and move in the cots and personal possessions. Success here is crucial to getting off to a good start.

Each evening we need someone to prepare and deliver the evening meal for our guests. This is an excellent family giving project. Bring the family and join the guests in enjoying your meal.

Each night we need a volunteer to "sleep over" and keep an eye on things, making sure everything is running smoothly. You are also invited to join for the evening meal.

In addition, we need drivers after breakfast and at the end of the day to help our guests get to and from where they need to go. They may be enrolled in a help program or they may need to get to job interviews or to work, all important events in their lives.

Please step forward and help. At the very latest, seek Paul or Crystal out Sunday, the 6th and put your name on the volunteer list.

Thanks for your help.

Mardi Gras Party!
Tuesday, February 21st, 6 p.m.

Trinity's fabulous Mardi Gras Party is almost here. The fun begins at 6 p.m. on Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Fat Tuesday, February 21.

Trinity's special Mardi Gras celebration has been a tremendous hit for many years, often attended by 60 or 70 people, young and old alike. Don't let yourself be a part of the few who miss out. This year we will again be entertained by the Tail Draggers Bluegrass Band, four very talented musicians playing string bass, fiddle, banjo and mandolin. They are so much fun. There will be some sing-a-long opportunities too. Mostly, this is the time to juist sit back and relax and have a great evening.

Here's the drill:

The party starts at 6 p.m. in the parith hall on Tuesday, February 21. Bring your most decadent and tasty (read fatty, salty and sugary) main dish, side dish, salad or dessert to share. Also bring a bottle of wine if you care to. We will supply soft drinks and juice. Try to be there as close to six as possible, as the evening has a tight schedule, as any good and well-planned party should.

We'll bless the food and eat at 6:30. The band begins playing at 7:00. During that time we all help to decorate the Alleluia banner. There is a short dessert break at 8:00 and the band plays their second set, ending at 9:00 when the banner is hidden away 'till Easter.

It is always a bonus if you and your family and friends can wear a costume, as complex or as simple as you desire. It makes for great pictures for our church web site. (Check out last year's party!) It's always important for people to know that we here at Trinity know how to do our inspiring Holy Week services with great panache and spirituality, as well as get down and have a heck of a good time partying with friends and family.
