Help Fuel the Fun: VBS Snack Donations Needed!

Vacation Bible School is just around the corner, and we’re so excited to welcome all the amazing kids God is sending our way (around 120 of them)! To keep our little ones energized and smiling throughout the week, we need your help providing snacks.

We’ve created a sign-up list with specific items needed—everything from oranges to pretzels to popcorn.

Whether you can bring a box of Cheez-Its or several boxes of popcorn, every donation makes a difference. Thank you for supporting VBS and helping us create a fun, safe, and joy-filled week for our kids!

Please drop off your snacks to Hanberry Hall by/on Sunday July 12th by end of service.

Thank you for being a blessing!

VBS Decorations Needed!

Help Transform Trinity into Snowball Mountain!

Vacation Bible School is just around the corner, and we need your help bringing Snowball Mountain Challenge to life! This year's VBS will take kids on an ice-cold mountain adventure as they learn that "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." – Philippians 4:13

We're looking for decorations and winter-themed items to help create our snowy mountain landscape. If you have any of the following that you would be willing to loan or donate for VBS, we'd greatly appreciate it:

• Small or medium artificial Christmas trees
• White string lights
• Winter coats
• Sleds
• Snow boards
• Skis and ski poles
• Snow shoes and/or winter boots
• Faux snow, snowballs or batting
• Inflatable inner-tubes (preferably w/a plain color or winter design)
• Blue tarps and/or plastic table cloths
• White sheets or white fabric
• Sturdy, small wooden boxes (for photo op podium)
• strings of pennant flags
• Helmets
• White, blue and green craft/butcher paper
• Tinsel door hanging cover
• Anything else that helps create a snowy mountain adventure!

Please label any items you would like returned with your name. Donations and loaned items can be dropped off in Hanberry Hall in the designated VBS bin through 10:00am July 12th.

Thank you for helping us create an unforgettable experience for our children and community. With your generosity, we'll transform Trinity into Snowball Mountain and share God's love in a fun and memorable way!

If you have questions or would like to help with decorating, please contact the church office.

VBS Volunteer Snacks Needed!

Vacation Bible School is right around the corner, and we are thrilled to welcome so many children for a week of learning, laughter, and growing in faith. But behind every skit, science experiment, craft, and Bible story is a dedicated team of volunteers who pour their hearts into making VBS an unforgettable experience.

As they guide kids through each busy day, our volunteers could use a little fuel to keep them going—and that’s where you come in!

We’re looking for snack donations to help keep our leaders energized and appreciated throughout the week. Whether it’s a box of granola bars, a case of assorted chips and pretzels, fruit trays, or homemade treats, every contribution helps us care for the hands and hearts serving our kids.

Please drop off snack donations in Hanberry Hall - there is a table with a sign "VBS Volunteer Snacks" in the back by the bins. During the week of VBS any snacks provided can be placed in the Parlor.

Thank you for being a church that supports, encourages, and nourishes those doing God’s work. We couldn’t do it without you!

We are excited to announce that we will begin a new Stephen Ministry training course on Thursday nights this fall! Our first class will be held on August 13th and we would love for you to join us!  The deadline for registration will be the beginning of August. This will give plenty of time for us to make sure we have the appropriate amount of materials, etc.

This class will be for those who are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister. Stephen Ministers are volunteers in the congregation who go through special training to listen well to others, particularly those who are going through challenging times.

Exciting News from The Green Team

We reached our goal of collecting 1000 pounds of plastic and have received a bench! Thank you to everyone who helped us achieve this goal, and for keeping 1000 pounds of plastic out of landfills. 

We will no longer be collecting plastic towards a goal. However, we can continue to collect plastic as a convenience for you if we have your help. We need people who are willing to take the plastic from the bin at church to a drop off location such as Publix, Target, or Walmart and put the plastic in the bins there. If you are willing to help, please use this Sign Up Genius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0F4DA9AC2BA2FB6-63804931-plastic#/  If you have questions about what is involved, please contact Becky White at 404-789-5468 (talk or text).

Alternatively, we encourage you to take the plastic with you when you shop and drop it off. And, as always, the best option of all is to refuse plastic bags and packaging whenever and wherever you can!
