It’s Shoebox Time Again
No, not shoes that we leave at the altar (we had 91 pairs of shoes for the DFS Clothes Closet and Stoddard County Gospel Mission, thanks!). It’s those shoeboxes that we fill with items for kids all over the world to receive through Operation Christmas Child. Heather White leads this important ministry at Trinity and lists are available on the information table in the hallway. We need your shoeboxes by Sunday, November 21. Of course, Heather and her team will put boxes together for those who would rather give a cash offering. A simple idea has now touched millions of children, again, loaves and fishes from God…and we get to be a part of another miracle…
Great Small Groups This Fall!
Thanks to everyone who made our first fall small groups such a great time of learning, food and conversation! We thank Scott and Lina Gibbs for the delicious meals, to those who made the great desserts and cleaned up after supper. Special thanks to Dale Williams for coordinating our small group experiences. And we appreciate our great small group leaders Don Rhodes, Josh Monroe, Jim Goforth, Jan Aslin, Bill Aslin, Lina Gibbs and Jill Gibbs who shared their gifts with us from landscaping to carpentry to chrismons (can’t wait to see them on the Christmas tree!) to WW II, finances and leading our youth and children. It’s been such a great time of sharing with each other. See everyone with our next small groups in January!
3rd Annual Claus for a Cause
Spend a fun afternoon on Sunday, November 20 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. listening to live Christmas music from Buddy Heaton here at Trinity with crafts, snacks and pictures with Santa. T-shirt presale is until Nov. 3. For more information go to www.clauseforacause.blogspot.com. All profits will be donated to 18 Fore Life and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. We also need folks to help with the event. See Julie Dodd for more details.
Need a Great Gift for Christmas?
A RADA knife order will be placed the first week in December. The order sheets will be picked up on Friday, December2. There are catalogs in the fellowship hall, in the teacher’s workrooms at school and Rosemary Walker has one to lend. Please look them over for Christmas gifts and for items for snacks, soups, dips and desserts for the holiday season. They also make great stocking stuffers. The United Methodist Women use the proceeds from the orders for their mission work. Call Rosemary at 568-3425 with questions or orders.
