Hello Trinity Friends,
This upcoming week Trinity will be buzzing with activity as our community comes together to support Trinity’s largest fundraising effort – the Apple Pie Project! We need many hands to help – please consider taking some time this upcoming week to help out! It is a great way to support Trinity, enjoy fellowship and have fun! See further in this message for more information on how you can get involved.
We hope you will join us this Sunday for our World Wide Communion Service. We will be celebrating the sacrament with our faith families around the world. A reminder that at Trinity, we have an open table, all are welcome to celebrate the sacrament with us! Following communion, children will head downstairs for Sunday School.
The following Sunday is Thanksgiving Sunday. You are invited to bring items for our Monday Food Shelf. Food such as cereal, canned meat or fish, soup or stew, pasta, Kraft dinner, peanut butter, etc. is always appreciated. Cash to purchase our weekly food items is also welcome – we have at times had to spend $700 – $1000 a week to keep our cupboards stocked! (Thanksgiving envelopes will be available from your ushers) Thank you for supporting this needed ministry.
There are a few more announcements and upcoming events to share – please keep reading!
