Staff Appreciation Month
Trinity celebrates Staff Appreciation Month in October. We will be receiving an offering for our staff during this month. Please designate your check “Staff Love Offering”, to let them know how much you have appreciated their work this year. This offering is collected during October rather than December to help our staff as well as the congregation, since December is such a busy time.

Pack a Shoebox
Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes are available at the Information Desk. Deadline for returning filled boxes is Sunday, November 19th.

Fall Festival
At 5:00 pm on Sunday, October 29th, we will gather to pass out candy from decorated car trunks, orchestrate a costume contest, hand out cider and hot chocolate, and begin building relationships by boldly inviting people to come back and visit on the next Sunday. Please be praying that lots of people would come, that it wouldn’t rain, and that others would feel the Spirit of God and His peace and love when they step onto our church property.
Be thinking about how you could help, as well, or how you could decorate your car trunk in a unique and fun way (Sign-up sheets and car passes are located downstairs)! Also, be looking for the red bins at the church entrances where candy donations can be placed; we need all the bite-sized pieces of sugary deliciousness we can get for the hundreds of people that will be coming through our lines that evening.
