Tidings from Trinity, May 9, 2025

May 9, 2025---

From the Rector

It's not too late! There's still time to find a small item to donate on our Mother's Day Offering for Turning Point of Lehigh Valley. Go small, if necessary: a bottle of baby shampoo. A pack of baby diapers. Or go big and buy a little bit of everything on the list. Whatever suits your ability to give, or opportunity to purchase. It will be appreciated and find its purpose in serving the most vulnerable in our society.

See below for suggested items. Bring whatever you choose to church this Sunday, and leave on the back pew for the Outreach Committee to take to Turning Point. Thank you for all you do!

Blessings,

Pam+
