Announcements

September 27, 2009:

UMW Fall Mission Banquet – Call the church office BY MONDAY to make your reservation for this Honduran-themed dinner on Thursday, 10/1 at 6:30 PM. Guest speaker is Kathy Tschiegg, founder and director of CAMO. Kathy will be speaking about a new women’s shelter, and an offering will be taken for this project.

Church Garage Sale - Everyone Can Help! The Church Garage Sale is this coming Saturday, October 3. Please bring your donations into the church office Thursday & Friday. We still need some help setting up Friday- starting at 10 AM; Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM and people to help take leftovers to various charities. Proceeds from the sale will go to Trinity Children & Youth ministries.

Synergy Sunday School Class will be giving our beautiful church grounds a good fall clean-up today. Come and help us weed, trim, pull, and dig. We’ll plan to get things underway by 10:45, and we'll work until 11:30 - or a little later if you're really into it at that point. Many hands make light work, and I'm betting a dozen of us can get a lot done in that short period of time (all the while counting our blessings instead of the weeds).

Mission Fair – UM Shreve – See bulletin board for details on this Mission Fair to be held October 10/11. You will see familiar names such as Dee Dee & Dennis Heffner, Lauran Green and more. Register for a lunch, dinner or evening concert or see Marilyn Schaffter for details.
