Text Box: Text Box: F.I.S.H. (Faith in Sharing Hospitality) Thank you to everyone who served on the hospitality teams, served as hosts of the Welcome Center, and baked cookies during the month of November. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. At the beginning of December, flyers will be delivered to 1000 households around Trinity highlighting activities occurring at Trinity during the Advent and Christmas Seasons. If you see an unfamiliar face, please introduce yourself and welcome the visitor to Trinity. Let us share the faith—Merry Christmas! STEWARDSHIP NOTES We would like to thank all of you that completed Commitment Cards for the 2010 Budget Year. There is still time to put them in the offering plates or bring them to the office. The past several years we have relied on extra giving in November and December to make our ends meet. This is especially true this year as our Reserve account is depleted. Any assistance you can make in this endeavor is greatly appreciated. Finally, THANK YOU for all the gifts you have given Trinity this year. We realize these gifts come from difficult choices in an extraordinary time. God's continued blessings to you, The Stewardship Team The Gift of a Green Christmas Ministry: This is our 6th year of partnering with local Lutheran Congregations to provide families in need with Christmas Trees and Decorations. This need is dependent on the generous donations and support of our church members. As our service continues to grow, so is our need for new and used decorations, artificial trees or cash donations to buy supplies. If you have extra Christmas items that you can donate or would like to purchase lights and decorations, please drop them off to the Church office by Friday, Dec. 12th. Here is an idea of the local impact this project has on families in need. Last year we cut and delivered over 100 Christmas trees and decorations to those who otherwise would not have had a decorated tree. This really is an outreach ministry for area Lutheran churches. Along with the delivery of the trees and decorations, we will be handing out a schedule of Christmas and Sunday services for all the churches and personally invite them to worship with those churches that participate in this ministry. If you or your family would like to help cut and/or deliver Christmas trees and decorations to the families, please contact Ryan Behm 222-5678 or ryanbehm@yahoo.com Drop ‘N Shop Drop ‘N Shop: Do you want to do some Christmas shopping but need a place for your children? Trinity will be offering free childcare services from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 12. Children must be between the ages of 2 and 10. Space is limited and reservations are required. There will be plenty of activities for your children, and snacks will be provided. Please call the church office to make your reservations: 970.482.1226. Text Box: -8-
