Greetings Trinity Family,
I hope this email finds everyone doing well. The church smells delicious as our volunteers are preparing for tomorrow’s pulled pork supper. And, the weather is just beautiful today. We are blessed.
PULLED PORK– TOMORROW!!
I hope to see everyone tomorrow!!
We can still use volunteers. People are gathering here at the church starting at 10 am to help pack our food orders into containers. We are serving the meal between 4 and 7 pm.
Our menu will include pulled pork, bbq sauce, a roll, creamy mac and cheese, coleslaw, applesauce, baked beans, and a giant cookie. We are charging $18 a meal and the meals are very generous portions – they usually have enough for two meals.
Although we have been taking pre-orders, we still have a few meals left. We will sell them first come, first serve tomorrow at 4 pm.
ELECTION DAY COFFEE, COOKIES AND PRAYERS
Election Day is on Tuesday, November 8. We are going to minister to our neighbors by sharing coffee, cookies, and prayers with them. If you have a few hours to help, please join us on the church “porch.” In the past, our neighbors have wanted to check out our sanctuary, visit, and learn more about our community.
DONALD SOUDER FUNERAL
Our brother in Christ, Donald Souder, passed away on Wednesday after a lengthy illness. We will gather to remember Don and support his wife Marie on Saturday, November 13. There will be a visitation in our church narthex starting at 11 am. The funeral service will be at 12:30 in our Sanctuary. A lunch will follow in our Education Building. Please join us to remember a dear man and support his family.
MEN’S BREAKFAST – CANCELLED IN NOVEMBER
We usually have our monthly men’s breakfast on the second Saturday of the month. This month, the breakfast is cancelled because of the many people who will be attending the funeral service for Don Souder.
TRINITY VETERAN’S SERVICE
Our annual observance of our Veterans will be on Sunday, November 13. We will appreciate our Veterans during our Sunday morning service at 10:15. At 2 pm, we will gather in our Cemetery for an opportunity to praise God, appreciate our Veterans, and remember those who have passed on. Our 2 pm gathering will be followed by a reception in our Education Building.
