The World Missions Committee will have tables set up this Sunday (28th) and next (Feb. 4) to sell chili and soup after worship and Sunday School. All donations go towards the 2018 UK Mission Trip. Get some yummy food and give to support missions!
Come and participate in a special event and service opportunity at Trinity on Sunday, January 21st from 5-7pm. Our new friend, Cathryn Shaw, from All Among Us, will be coming to talk about the mission of her organization, which seeks to serve the needs of the homeless in St. Louis. This is an opportunity for us to learn more about our neighbors in our city and also serve in a way that meets a great need.
The evening will consist of hearing from Cathryn, asking her questions, eating free pizza, and then stuffing backpacks with donated items. These backpacks will include clothing, special food goods, and toiletries.
Leading up to the event, Cathryn has provided us a list of needed donations for her homeless friends (see list below). We would like to invite you all to consider donating or purchasing items from the list below. If you have children, think about involving them by bringing them along to the store and discussing what you’re buying. This could also be an opportunity to look through your closet for items you’d like to give away. If you would like to donate clothing that has been used or lightly worn, please make sure those items are clean and in good condition to give away. If you would like to purchase items, please consider giving various sizes from child to adult.
There will be a table in the main hallway where you can drop off donations through Sunday morning of Jan. 21st (you can always drop off during the work week when the church office is open: Mon-Fri 9am-4pm). Even if you can’t make it to the event, please consider participating by donating items.
This event is open to all ages. In fact, we’d love it if we had a good inter-generational representation at this event.

Bring a friend and plan to stay after for refreshments. Also, our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is at 5pm on the 24th. We hope to see you at both.
As the leaves change and the weather cools, we are reminded that God’s love is unchanging, his promises are true, and he is faithful. “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” – Psalm 34:8
