TRINITY’S HANDS: As the church– we will be helping our congregation and community all year long. This is how you can ask for help. Please see the Work Request Card in the bulletin, pew or on www.orrvilletrinity.com– and fill it out if you have any work that needs done that you are unable to do– or pass it on to friends and neighbors that could use a helping hand. Also– please take the time to go to www.orrvilletrinity.com/trinityshands.html to fill out a Helper Form. This will help us find a place for everyone to serve— physical labor, cooking, driving, shopping and prayer. Work will be done throughout the year, with a week-long local work camp in May for larger projects.

CHURCH KEYS: If you are no longer a committee chair & still have a church key, please return it to Sue Hillebrecht. Thank you!!
