Our boiler may have been out for Christmas, but that didn’t cool our giving spirit. Altogether, Trinity collected and donated 57 coats and blankets. Way to go!

The men’s coats, 22 of them, went to the Union Mission. The Union Mission has seen the number of homeless men seeking shelter double this winter, thanks to especially low temperatures and an especially bad economy.

The women’s and children’s coats and the blankets, 35 of them, went to the HER (Help and Emergency Response) Shelter. The HER Shelter addresses the housing needs of victims of domestic violence.

Just a reminder, the Nominating Committee is still accepting nominations for the following positions to be voted on in 2011:

If you would like to nominate someone (including yourself), please send an email to Bill Sneath or Tom Litchford, or talk to a member of the Nominating Committee at church. Nominating Committee members are Bill Sneath, Gerry Harger, Shara Jones, Tom Litchford, and Pastor Smith. You may read about these positions in our bylaws.

Your help will be appreciated!

From Sharon Plawin:

Folks – We need help taking down the Chrismon Tree on Trinity’s front lawn as well as the two chancel trees inside the sanctuary.  
 
This Sunday – Jan. 9  – is looking good – a sunny day is predicted.   We usually start right after the 8 a.m. service during the Sunday School hour to take down the Chrismon Tree.   If we don’t get it completed then, we could do it after the 11 a.m. service.  If we get enough helpers we could also take down the chancel trees after the 11 a.m. service

Email Sharon if you can lend a hand.

Thanks!
