Dear Trinity Friends and Family,
We share with you the sad news that Jim Nash passed away peacefully on the morning of Friday, April 11.

Please keep his wife, Candace, his children Dusty, Wendy, and Aaron, as well as his grandchildren and great-granddaughter in your prayers during this time of loss. A memorial service has been planned for June 28th in Albion. Details can be found in the online obituary.
Stamp Out Hunger, Saturday, May 10th
Support the annual food drive by leaving non-perishable food donations in a container near your mailbox. Local postal carriers will collect them for MACS, helping stock the pantry at Trinity. Your donations support Marshall area families in need. Most-needed items include: Peanut butter & jelly, canned fruit/meats/vegetables, “Helper” meals, ramen noodles, boxed potatoes, beans, cereal, juice, crackers, snacks, pudding, pancake mix & syrup, ketchup, mustard, mayo. Thank you for helping fill the shelves!

Gratitude to Andrea Tucker for serving as Trinity's Treasurer
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Andrea Tucker for her faithful service as parish treasurer over the past eight years. Her careful stewardship of our finances, commitment to partnering with Diane Vezmar, our parish Bookkeeper, and generous volunteer spirit have truly blessed our community. Please join us at coffee hour on May 11 as we come together to honor and celebrate Andrea and all she has done for our parish. Thank you, Andrea!
