As we are in the middle of kitchen renovations and repairs, our long awaited second freezer has arrived, whose sole purpose in life is receptions and outreach.
Come to the church kitchen next
SUNDAY, FEB. 17, AFTER THE 10:30 AM SERVICE
if you would like to be part of filling the freezer with cookies, brownies, vegetable soup, flatbread, etc. Recipes and ingredients will be provided for this first try: The idea is that if somebody is ill or we suddenly need to provide a reception, the basic supplies are already there, made with love and a prayer...and dated and labeled. See you Saturday! – Faithfully, Susan K

PARKING LOT USE
Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence. We certainly encourage use of the parking lot, but caution those planning lunch or other offsite activities to please park elsewhere after church sponsored events. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors with the new owners.
