COMING EVENTS
Adult Forum Explores Origins and Meaning of Christmas Traditions:
Advent is a time of preparations. For the season, Adult Forum will present a look at the history, traditions and practices of the Christmas season as we prepare for the feast of the Incarnation. On December 6, Carrie Galsworthy will present a session on the origins of Christmas Customs and Symbols. On December 13, Jenny and Cleve Callison will discuss symbols in Christmas Art, Carols and Hymns (part 1). And on December 20, Peter Williams will lead the group discussion of Carols and Hymns (part 2).
Holiday Bazaar next Sunday, December 6! Stop by in the Undercroft after the 10:30 service! The talent sale will have crafts and baked goods for sale, proceeds going to the Outreach Committee.
“Christmas in the Country” next Sunday, December 6 from 5-9 p.m. at the Schmitts. Get tickets from Harriet or Ted today!
Lessons and Carols is two weeks from today, December 13th! Plan to join us for this celebration of the season, in worship and fellowship. A potluck feast follows the 5:00 p.m. service.

KROGER CARDS are again available. If you need one or want more information about how they work please see or phone Linda Church (523-4356) or Judy Shaw (523-3493). Proceeds from these cards support the Holy Trinity food outreach projects of the Community Dinner, Serve City dinner and the Community Food Pantry. Cards are available from Linda, Judy, or in the church office.
KEEP UP WITH MEDICAL MISSIONARIES in the Dominican Republic, Drs. Michael and Anita Dohn. To be good stewards of their resources they will send you their newsletters online. Check out their website http://dohnfamily.org - and send them your e-mail so they can send you their news.
HOLY TRINITY PANTRY: As always, your generosity has helped enormously as we keep the pantry stocked for the community dinners. We are in special need of laundry detergent, baby products including wipes, shampoo, body wash, and diapers in sizes 2,3, and 4, and cleaning supplies such as Pine Glo. No time to shop? Give us some cash or a check and we’ll do it for you. (Wooden boxes for contributions are in the Narthex.) Thanks, Geoff and Judith.
HOLY TRINITY RECYCLES: Containers for recycling: (1) Plastic bags; (2) batteries; (3) #1 clear plastic containers (look for the triangle with I on the bottom and on any detached lids); (4) fluorescent (not incandescent) bulbs are now located in the Bishop’s Foyer. Please remember that all recyclables that Rumpke takes (paper, cardboard, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars) can be placed in the kitchen & Old Rectory recycling bins.
MEDICINE BOTTLES AND ART CATALYSTS: A separate container in the Bishop’s Foyer (the largest) is for medicine bottles and craft catalysts. Mary Fahnestock-Thomas collects medicine bottles for use by clinics in needy areas as well as anything for early childhood schools in Oxford that could stimulate young minds in arts and crafts: bottle and jar lids, buttons; paper towel and toilet tissue rolls; reusable plastic containers and small bottles; fabric, ribbon and yarn scraps; spools; basically anything that can be reused creatively.
