STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

Today’s theme is perseverance — Moses keepinghis hands upraised throughout the battle, Paul urging Timothy to stay with the task of preaching and teaching, and the widow appealing to the corrupt judge. To be faithful stewards of God’s gifts, we, too, must persevere in the roles to which we are called.

MINISTRY APPRECIATION NIGHT 2019

Friday, October 25, beginning at 6 PM In the Faith Formation Wing

Holy Trinity Parish Staff invites ALL VOLUNTEERS IN MINISTRY

Enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres and door prizes Non-alcoholic options available also

RSVP by calling the Parish Office

(360) 377-7674

OCTOBER 20, 2019

From today’s Gospel reading: The Lord said, "Will not God then secure the rights of God’s chosen ones who call out to God day and night?”

Reflection: The judge in today’s parable cannot be taken as representing God, for he "neither feared God nor respected any human being." But, can we see in the widow an image of our God? She is a persistent voice for justice for the poor and those without voice in our society. Like our God, she will not stop her cry for justice until it is given.

So, we ask ourselves: - What voice speaks a persistent message for justice in our parish? In our church? In our world? - How do those voices affect your choices and actions?

ALTAR SERVER TRAINING

There will be a training session for new altar servers on Saturday, November 9, 1-3:30pm in the church. Thank you to those who have expressed an interest in serving in this very important ministry. We are in need of servers, at all weekend masses, especially at the 5:00pm and 8:00am masses, both adults and children at least 10 years of age, who have received First Eucharist are invited to serve. We are asking that you prayerfully consider participating in this ministry. We welcome both male and female servers and family members who choose to make this a family ministry. Questions? Please call Veronica at (360)377-7674. Current servers who would like a refresher are also invited to attend.

HOLY TRINITY PRAYER CORNER

Prayer for Seminarians O Lord Jesus Christ, great High Priest, I pray that You call many worthy souls

to Your holy priesthood. Enlighten the Bishop in the choice of

candidates, the Spiritual Director in molding them and the professors in instructing them. Lead the seminarians daily in Your unerring footsteps; so that they may become priests

who are models of purity, possessors of wisdom and heroes of sacrifice; steeped in humility and aflame with love for God and man;

Apostles of Your glory and sanctifiers of souls. Amen.
