The Week of the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany
February 7-13, 2010
Burial of Catherine Pell
Cathy Pell will be buried from the church on Saturday, February 13, at Noon. May her soul and the souls of all the departed rest in peace.
Haitian Relief
To help the victims of the Haitian earthquake, please send your donations to Episcopal Relief and Development. You may do so online at http://www.er-d.org or by giving a donation on Sunday at church and labeling your check for Haitian relief.
As many of you know, Holy Trinity sent a medical mission to Haiti several years ago and subsequently equipped a dental clinic in Port-au-Prince with modern fixtures and appliances. Thus, some of us know many of our Haitian brothers and sisters in Christ personally.
We also ask your prayers for the people of Haiti and for those who are coming to their aid, including members of the 82nd Airborne Division from Ft. Bragg.
~~~
 Military Appreciation Sunday is being rescheduled. We were sorry that the sleet and snow forced the cancellation of the activities scheduled for January 31st. We will probably wait until after Lent for a make-up date.
~ This Week at Holy Trinity~
The Keenagers will be meeting Tuesday, February 9 at 12:00 noon in the library. This will be our Valentine luncheon so make something to eat in red, pink or white! Our very special guest will be Valerie Woodard, Executive Director of the South Eastern North Carolina Radio Reading Service. A number of Holy Trinity members are already volunteering for this most worthwhile agency and we invite all who are interested in learning more about SENCRRS to come join us for fun and fellowship.
CAROLINA PHILHARMONIC RETURNS TO HOLY TRINITY
On Friday, February 12th at 7pm the Carolina Philharmonic presents a chamber music concert, "In the Name of Valentine." Beethoven's delightful G-Major Violin Sonata and Rachmaninoff's searingly epic Sonata for Cello and Piano are surrounded by lighter romantic bonbons from Kreutzer and Strauss. Don't miss this evening of indulgent and shameless romanticism! Suggested donation is $25 general, $20 seniors/military, free for students.
~ Upcoming at Holy Trinity~
ECW
 All ladies of the parish are invited to join us
for our ECW Valentine’s Party on Sunday, February 14th at 4:00 p.m.
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper 
Join us for one last celebration before Lent: all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage and applesauce on Shrove Tuesday, February 16th, from 5:30 – 7pm. The cooks will be members of our Rite 13 and Young Adults in the Church classes.
Shrove Tuesday is celebrated in some places as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras (and you may just see some authentic New Orleans Mardi Gras attire and beads this year, courtesy of last summer’s mission team!). The word “shrove” comes from the Old English scrifan, to free from guilt.
Lenten Soup Suppers
 Once again, we’ll be gathering for a light soup supper followed by Evening Prayer each Wednesday evening in Lent, beginning February 24. The Vestry will host our first gathering. Meet in the church for soup, bread, and fruit at 6pm, followed by Evening Prayer at 6:45pm.
 A new flower chart for 2010 is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. Please pencil in your name for the Sunday (s) of your choice.
Offering Envelopes
Envelopes for 2010 are available in the Narthex. They are provided for every pledging household. If you have not submitted a pledge for 2010, cards are available in the Narthex. You can request envelopes if you are not pledging by calling the church office at 484-2134. Please help us save on postage and pick up your envelopes soon.
 Camp Trinity 2010 information brochures and  registration forms are now available in the churchoffice. As always, camp fills up quickly, so pick up an application soon.
D. C. United
The Rite 13 Group is planning on making a trip to Washington D.C. on Friday May 14-16th. We will be staying at the Washington Seminar Center which is located behind the United States Capitol. On the trip we plan on helping the less fortunate and also seeing some of the sites of this beautiful city. While on the trip we plan on attending service Sunday at the National Cathedral. Everyone who is part of the Rite 13 Group is looking forward to the exciting and rewarding trip!
