The system includes two big-screen television monitors, amplifier, microphones, and speakers. The Foundation for the Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming provided a grant for 90% of the system cost. The vestry is working with Ray and Linda to begin integrating the system into our Sunday services. We anticipate that the program, readings, prayers, and lyrics will be displayed on the monitors. We also expect that the system will be of great use for memorial services and other special events at Trinity. The next step is to install a "hearing assist" system for those with hearing loss. Our thanks go to the Foundation for the generous grant that funded this much-needed improvement.

Trinity Episcopal Church Phone 307-335-5977 Email: trinitylndr@gmail.com Page 4 Trinity was recently approached by our neighbors "Two Sisters" to sell a portion of church property. After much deliberation and negotiation, the Vestry agreed to recommend to the Diocese that a portion of unused land situated to the north of the church building be sold to Two Sisters for $16,500. The Diocese agreed to the sale of the property - slightly more than an acre. The transaction closed last week and the sale proceeds will be deposited into Trinity's savings or investment account. Two sisters intends to clear the dead trees and vegetation and at some point put up a "granny pod" for an ailing family member. Sale of the surplus property also means that Trinity will avoid future expense for arbor services, brush clearing, etc. Both Two Sisters and Trinity see this as a "win - win" that will benefit all concerned. The Foundation grant for the Lander Greenway will now be applied to "phase II", which is the construction of a picnic shelter that will create a peaceful place near the creek for walkers, runners and bikers to utilize. A new garden shed will also be placed out back. We are very grateful to the Diocesan Foundation for this wonderful grant, and the improved Greenway will be a very nice space for the community. Prayer Requests Please keep the following people in your prayers. Gene - Barbara - Carol - Roger - The Pederson Family
