Save the Date Marriage Date Night–Saturday, November 15 “Emotionally Intimate Marriages” with guest speakers, Dr. Chris and Alisa Grace 5 6 1 1. A New Season for Associate Pastor Rachel Hamburger It is with a deep sense of sadness that we write to inform you that Rachel Hamburger, our Associate Pastor of six years, has chosen to resign. Her letter explaining her decision was mailed to the congregation this week. In it Rachel wrote, “It is surely with mixed emotions that I have resigned my position as Associate Pastor here at Trinity. With a number of changes in my life and health over the past few years, I have realized in recent months a need and call to focus more fully in my area of giftedness, of care giving for individuals and families in times of joy, transition and loss. This will most likely be in a context that is not so remarkably busy and demanding programmatically as Trinity.” We are so thankful for the fruitful ministry of care Rachel provided for Trinity and will miss her very much. She will continue with us until November 21st. Watch for details about celebrating her ministry with us. 2. Contributions Toward Settlement Expenses On Friday, September 26, Trinity was officially dismissed from the Presbyterian Church (USA) to a new denomination ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians with our property. Trinity’s total cost for dismissal is $1,711,000, plus an additional $255,000 or so in ONE TIME transitional costs for moving to ECO. We are asking our church family to prayerfully consider what their contribution to this need will be. A formal pledge campaign will kick off early in 2015, but contributions can be made at any time before the formal campaign begins. If you wish to give now, please make your check payable to Trinity United Presbyterian Church and designate “For Settlement Expenses.” Thank you! 5.
