Adopt-A-Classroom

Trinity's Adopt-A-Classroom ministry is seeking sponsors for several classrooms. The goal of this ministry is to connect church members with CDC staff and teachers and to show our appreciation for all of their hard work and dedication to the children in their care. Sponsorship is simple: five times a year (Back to School in August, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and

Teacher Appreciation week in May) the class sponsor visits their assigned CDC classroom to deliver treats, small gifts, baked goods etc. along with a word of encouragement for the teachers and staff and an invitation to attend our weekend services. We are officially restarting this ministry this month to celebrate Christmas with our assigned classrooms. If you are interested in sponsoring a classroom, please reach out to Laura Marano.

Sponsor a Poinsettia - Final Weekend

Poinsettias are red with 7-8 blooms and are displayed from Christmas through Epiphany, after which you may take your sponsored plant(s) home.

To sponsor a poinsettia, you MUST fill out this form or contact the church office by December 15. You will not be able to sponsor a poinsettia unless you do one of these options.

Trinity Merchandise

Trinity has new mugs that are available for purchase! To pay via Breeze, please fill out this form or drop your cash/check in the offering plate with the memo "Trinity mugs." Once payment has been received, you can pick up your mug by stopping by the church office during business hours or grabbing it in the narthex the following weekend. Questions? Contact the church office.

Touch A Truck Volunteers Needed

Beginning December 14, you can sign up in the narthex to volunteer at the second annual Touch A Truck event! Jobs of all kinds are available, including being a parking attendant, water runner, bounce house attendant, and more! Your support in one of Trinity's biggest fundraisers will help the team's goal of building a canopy in the courtyard. Please direct any questions to the TAT team.
