Trinity Talk – News, Events, and Schedules – April 3, 2011
ATTENTION ALL CHILDREN: Next Sunday, April 17, our children will participate in the Palm processional at the 11 a.m. worship service. All the children are invited to participate. The very young children may be assisted by an older youth or a parent. It’s a great opportunity for the children to have a part in the worship service as they wave the palms.
TRINITY SINGERS will practice Wednesday evening, 7p.m., immediately following JOY at 6 p.m.
WE STILL NEED LOTS OF EGGS FOR THE EGG HUNT THIS COMING SATURDAY, APRIL 16, AT THE CITY PARK. We need plastic eggs stuffed with wrapped candy. We will also need helpers for that day, so think about where you would like to serve--hide eggs, serve food, cook food, help supervise jumpers, etc. Thanks for your help.
FULL BREAKFAST next Sunday, April 17; everyone welcome.
TUMC GIRLS SALAD SUPPER was a great success. The theme of “Vintage Aprons and Tablecloths,” was carried out in the table decorations and with each person wearing an apron. Most of the aprons carried a story which was shared by the wearer. There were mothers’ aprons and grandmothers’ aprons which carried many memories. A beautiful and delicious array of salads and desserts graced the buffet.
LANDSCAPING DAY – A thunder storm rolled through early Saturday morning, but that didn’t stop those landscapers. Check it out – a great job. Thanks to all who helped in any was, planning, purchasing, digging, planting, furnishing lunch, cleaning up, etc. It takes a church……
TUMC TO HOST HOLY WEEK SERVICES again this year. They will start at 7 a.m. each morning Monday through Thursday, April 18 through 21st. All churches in the community participate in these services, which usually last about 30 minutes, giving time for people to attend and then get to work. For those who don’t have a work deadline to meet, there will be coffee and doughnuts, etc., for a half hour or so of visiting. These services are a good inspiration to take us into Easter.
MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICES will be held at Trinity on Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. Pastor Susan always has an outstanding service for this occasion. If you haven’t been there, perhaps you can try it this year; if you have attended, you will want to come again.
There will be a WEDDING SHOWER FOR JULIE CHRISTIAN, daughter of Jean Christian, on Saturday, April 30, from 10–11:30 a.m. Julie is registered at Target and a few things at J. C. Penny’s.

Lenten thought: “Are ye able,” said the Master, “to be crucified with me?”
“ Yea,” the sturdy Christians answered, “to the death we’ll follow thee.
Lord, we are able, our spirits are thine; remold them, make us, like thee, divine.
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be, a beacon of God, to love and loyalty.”
