A blood drive will be held at Trinity on Friday, October 3, from 9-1.  In response to a request from the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, Trinity will ask that our donations be given to St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston.  Walk-ins are accepted.

On October 5, at the 10:30 AM service, Trinity will host the annual Blessing of the Animals service outside on the south lawn.  After a brief worship service, all animals will receive individual blessings.  There will be a bouncey castle for the children, hot dogs and chips for snacks, and wonderful fellowship.  Please have all animals in cages or leashed. 

Bring donations of dry pet food and clean towels for the area pet shelters.
