We are also looking for a paid substitute for Sarah on Sunday morning when she needs to be off.

For more information and if you are interested in attending, please contact Andrew Bird at 1-601-347-9423.

If you are willing to prepare food for about 10 young adults, we will be very grateful. If you have any questions about this, or about the EYC program, please contact Andrew by email at ajrbird@gmail.com "Thank you" to Jody Link, Robert Cox, Hoyt & Dawn Tanner, and Lesley Hutt who have volunteered to cook a meal for the EYC.

PRAYING IN COLOR, November 7th & 8th with special guest Sybil MacBeth, author, educator, and dancer. "A new prayer form gives God an invitation and a new door to penetrate the locked cells of our hearts and minds," explains Sybil MacBeth. For many of us, using only words to pray reduces God by the limits of our finite words. Sybil insists that participants of this unique conference event require NO skill for drawing. Sybil says, herself, "I cannot draw a cat! Or a dog. Or anything else for that matter." This conference is about color and a new experience in worship. Keep in mind, Sybil says, "Whether you are a visual or kinesthetic learner, a distractible or impatient soul, a word-weary pray-er or just a person looking for a new way to pray, I hope you will find this practice helpful." Please ioin us on Friday and Saturday, November 7th & 8th for this amazing and refreshing educational experience in prayer. For registration information please go online to www.dioms.org and scroll to News and Events, then click on Diocesan Events and scroll to "Praying in Color." You may also contact The Rev. Debo Dykes, debo@dioms.org, or call her at 601-948-5954.

TEACH THEM TO FISH MINISTRY
Support the "Teach Them to Fish" Honduran Mission. About a year and a half ago John DeLancy and Chris Tardy started a microindustry mission to Omoa, Honduras. With the blessings of the Bishops of Honduras and Mississippi, they have met weekly to plan teaching stained glass methods to the ladies of Omoa. The main goal of the mission is to teach a skill that can provide an income for families that want to improve themselves and their communities. John has already made two mission trips to Omoa and needs to go back at periodic intervals to continue this ministry. They need your financial support to fund this missionary work. Please make your checks payable to Trinity Church, and appropriately mark the envelopes that are provided in the pews and put them in the collection basket or mail them to the church. Any and all amounts are welcome.
