Good morning Trinity Friends,
The smell of fresh apple pie will be filling some of our homes this weekend thanks to a successful Trinity Apple Pie fundraiser! It was a flurry of activity with a buzz of positive energy this week! Thank you to Darlene Laferriere and the many dedicated people who carried, bagged, rolled, peeled, cut, picked, washed, assembled, handled pie orders and placed stickers (and any other jobs I missed). It was a wonderful community effort and we are grateful for the funds that the apple pie project provides! 
This Sunday, we hope you are able to join us for our Thanksgiving worship service at 10:30 am. We will enjoy some special music by the choir and instrumentalists
The Sunday School will be collecting food and funds for the Food Shelf during worship. See the Food Shelf list below for ideas of what to bring.
We will also be launching our Fall Stewardship campaign. This month you will be hearing Stewardship Minutes by familiar Trinity faces who will share their legacy stories!
