Happenings at Trinity Church
Health Kits-THANK YOU!
Thank you to all who contributed toward making health kits for the Haitian
Relief Effort. Fifty-five health kits were made and taken to Mission Central
along with extra supplies.
Altar Flowers
All Sunday's in April are available for anyone who would like to sponsor the altar
vases. The
cost is $28.
Please call the church office.
Lost and Found
Do you know where your dishes are? Pans and dishes have been found in the
kitchen that belong to members of our church. These items have been placed on
the table in the hallway near the mailboxes. Please claim any pans or dishes
that belong to you. If owners are not found, we will need to discard these
items. Thank you for your help.
Old Wooden Ramp
The old wooden handicap ramp in front of the church is in need of repair.
Since we now have the concrete ramp that leads to the main front
doors, the trustees are considering removing the wooden ramp, rather than
repairing it.
Please call the church office if you know of a reason that the wooden ramp
should be kept in place.
Thank you for your input.
New Pictorial Directory
The new directories have arrived.
If you had your picture taken (or submitted one), your

you did not participate but are interested in buying a copy please call the
church office.
