IMPORTANT NOTICES PLEDGE SHORTFALLS CAUSE CUTBACKS IN PRINTED ANNOUNCEMENTS, BULLETINS, AND MAILING
Printed Version of The Weekly Grail to End. Due to budgetary constraints caused by less than expected receipt of this year's pledge income, the Vestry has concurred with our recommendation to stop printing and distributing The Weekly Grail in church, beginning Sunday, November 9. It will still be emailed in this form, and it will continue to be placed on our web site each week.
Service Bulletin to be Reduced to an Order of Service. Beginning Nov 9, the service bulletin will be reduced to a single sheet showing only the order of service. The readings will continue to be provided as long as supplies last.
Mail Card Reminder Notices to Stop. Until further notice, the office will stop mailing reminder cards for meetings, activities, etc., so please save the monthly calendar that comes with The Trinity Tidings. The Tidings and the calendar will continue to be posted on line on our web site, so please check that source as well.
Mailings of Sunday Readings to Lectors to Stop. We will stop sending paper versions of the readings to our lectors effective next week. We will email the readings to lectors instead. However, if you are a reader who does not have email, the readings will be available for you in the offiice the week before you are scheduled. Please come by and pick up your reading during the week preceding your assignment.
We are sorry that we have to institute these measures, but we must do what we can to cut costs because our pledge receipts have decreased since the beginning of the economic downturn. We are quite hopeful that we will resume providing these resources and services in the future.

NEW CONSTRUCTION FUND ESTABLISHED
The vestry approved the creation of a "New Construction Fund" to receive donations that will be used for the construction of new facilities and structures on our Church campus. One project - a porte cochère (covered driveway) over the alley - is presently under consideration. Other projects are likely to be forthcoming as we engage in long-range planning. If you wish to donate funds for new construction projects on our campus, simply write a check to "Trinity Episcopal Church" and put "New Construction Fund" on the memo line.

This policy will cover all gifts of cash, securities, real estate, other properties, and planned gifts. The guidelines are published on line at http://s3.amazonaws.com/ dfc_attachments/public/documents/676/Gift_Acceptance_Policy_-_Diocese_of_Mississippi_-_Final.pdf
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.

Thank you for all you do to make our church profitable and our community well fed. Your suggestions and food stuffs are welcome!
BOOK SALE NOVENBER 15. At the same time as the Food Sale, the Daughters of the King will hold a book sale.

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.

Trinity Parish Emergency Relief Fund
The Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Emergency Relief Fund has been set up to help Mary Deane McInnis with her medical expenses. If you would like to contribute to this fund, please make checks payable to Trinity Emergency Relief Fund. Use the envelopes provided in the pews to designate that the contribution is for Mary Deane. She would like to acknowledge your gifts, so we will provide her with names and addresses but not amounts.

If you give cash, please indicate your name and address on the outside of the envelope. You do not have to put Jody's name on the memo line of your checkbecause contributions designated to a specific individual on your checks are not tax deductible. Jody would like to acknowledge your gifts, so we will provide him with names and addresses but not amounts. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the church office.
