Trinity this week – Second Sunday in Advent

Hello Trinity Friends,

After you dig yourself out of all this snow, please join us for worship on Sunday morning at 10:30 am for the Second Sunday in Advent.  We celebrate White Gift Sunday – bringing in gifts to the Food Shelf, Infant Food Shelf and Christmas Bag Outreach programs.  Your donations will be collected by the Sunday School.  Some ideas for your White Gift are: non-perishable food, infant size diapers, toothpaste, toothbrush, socks, slippers, scarves, playing cards, new puzzles or money to purchase needed items.
Following the service, plan to stay for the JOY Bands Christmas Concert present “Sweet Sounds of Christmas” at Trinity. Carol Sing-A-Long 1:30pm. – Concert 2:00 pm. Free Will offering will support the Synagogue Restoration Fund.
On Monday December 11th, the UCW will meet at Cecil’s.  We will gather at 11:30. All ladies in the congregation are cordially invited to come for lunch, and a program of Christmas stories and poems.  Everyone will be responsible for buying their own meal. Instead of a gift exchange, please bring a donation for the Food Shelf.  Please let Judy know (705- 478 -7781) if you are able to join us.
