Happy Thanksgiving weekend Trinity friends!
Please join us this Sunday for a special thanksgiving worship service (which includes 2 baptisms!) During the worship service, following the baptisms, the Sunday School will be collecting items for the Food Shelf. Donations of non-perishable food items, such as cereal, canned milk, soup, etc.,baby wipes and diapers, and monetary donations are all appreciated and will help those who need it.
We would like to offer our heartfelt gratitude for all the many hands who helped in any way with Trinity’s Apple Pie Fundraiser. This is Trinity’s largest fundraising effort and it simply could not happen without the support of many people – the pickers and washers, the rollers and peelers, the baggers and spice mixers. the pie movers, cashiers and buyers – and of course, our resident pie lady, Darlene Laferriere!
Thank you all!
