TRINITY ANNUAL YARD SALE – MAY 6 & 7.  You may start bringing your things starting May 1.  This event provides cash for us, makes items available that people might otherwise be able to purchase, and usually everything left at the end of the sale is given away.  There will be papers available to fill out for tax exempt contributions.

ATTENDANCE AND OFFERING STATS for March are available on the table in the foyer.

PASTOR SUSAN’S OFFICE HOURS:  Susan is in her office each Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.  It is best to call her to make sure she is there since she also visits and has meetings, etc.  She is available to meet on other days, also.  What about the other days, you might ask?  She works on the message and other more in-depth studies at home.  You may call her at 568-3188 (church), 568-3581 (home) or 421-3706 (cell).  If you wish to make an appointment, please leave your message on her home phone or on her cell phone, since there is no one scheduled to be in the office on any other specific day of the week.
