Time to Sign-Up for Dinner Circles - This is a fun, casual way to make new friends and experience the warmth of Holy Trinity.  Last year we had a great time getting together!  We would love to have more people sign-up and be a part of these wonderful dinner parties. Dinner Circles consist of 6 to 12 people meeting once a month in each others’ homes (or at a restaurant of the group’s choice) for an informal meal and good conversation.  For home gatherings, the host of the month will suggest what each person may bring, with the host usually providing the main entrée.  Register now in the Church Foyer.  Groups will begin meeting mid-September. ~ Jackie Hummel
