Food Closet Requests

For the month of January, we invite all parishioners to make donations to our Food Closet. The picture below shows the common items most needed. These include canned meats (chicken, tuna, spam), canned fruits and vegetables, rice and pasta dishes, instant potatoes, soups, small condiment containers, small cereal boxes, peanut butter, jellies, evaporated milk, fruit drinks, spaghetti sauces, hashes and stews, and macaroni and cheese.

Currently we DO NOT NEED any boxes of dried pasta (spaghetti, noodles) or canned pinto or black beans. All other items are in high demand.

Persons visiting our Food Closet, are only able to take two plastic bags of food, and only one of each item. Please donate items in regular sized cans. 

Plan on making a visit to your local supermarket or dollar store. With your help we can give the less fortunate a good start in the new year. 

Please do not donate expired food. 

Worship Training

The Worship Committee has scheduled a series of group meetings for worship volunteers. The purpose of the meetings is to review the practices and preferred ways the volunteers are to carry out their duties, to answer questions and/or concerns anyone might have about his/her service, and to bring new members of the groups up-to-date. Each meeting will be conducted by the leader of the group.

While the meetings are especially important for new volunteers, we also strongly encourage experienced volunteers to attend as some new practices have been recently introduced and need to be reviewed.

All meetings will take place in the church nave immediately following the 10:30 service. The schedule is as follows:

November 3 – Lectors with Joe Fluet
November 10 – LEMs with Ken Knapp
November 17 – Altar Guild with Becky Hoecker
November 24 – Ambassadors with Jessica Diday & Flower Guild/TBD

Thank you so very much for your devoted service to Trinity Church and the Worship Committee.

Recognition Sunday

On May 19, we will recognize and thank the many volunteers who help make possible our worship, fellowship after worship, and Christian Education for children and youth.

Please join us at 8:00 or 10:30 am. 

Calling All Volunteers

The Golden Rooster Thrift Shop needs shop volunteers for 3.5 hours on Saturday mornings from 8:45am-12:15pm. Volunteers welcome and assist customers, help sort donations, and organize the shop. It’s fun! Volunteers are assigned to a team with four members each calendar year, so no one works alone. Teams are scheduled every six weeks. We also need weekly volunteers who have a truck or a trailer to take excess inventory to The Potter’s House in The Plains or Goodwill and refuse to the dump on Saturday mornings.  

Call Betsy if you are interested: 540-592-3343.
