✝️ Joyful Sunday Celebration – December 14
‍The Third Sunday of Advent is known as Joyful Sunday, marked by lighting the rose-colored candle on the Advent wreath. This candle represents joy in anticipation of Jesus’ birth and the many gifts the Lord has given us.Join us in celebrating Joyful Sunday with a parish potluck during Coffee Hour—a wonderful time to share food, fellowship, and the joy of this season!

‍The Giving Tree 
This Advent Season, we’re collecting mittens, hats, and warm socks for adult women and children. Please place donations in the box next to the Giving Tree in the Parish Hall.

Trinity’s Annual Meeting
‍Trinity’s annual meeting will be held after the service on Sunday, January 25th. All are warmly encouraged to attend as we review the past year and look ahead together. Childcare will be provided.

💰Can we "count" on you?💰
Calling all people with 10 fingers and 10 toes. If you enjoy playing with money, does Trinity have a job for you! We're looking for folks who would be willing to occasionally spend a few minutes after Sunday morning services to count and record the money from the collection plate and other various funds received throughout the week. You'd be working with a partner, training will be provided, and you'd only need to do it about once a month as there are others with whom you will take turns. If I've piqued your interest, give me a shout! Thanks for your consideration 😁 Wendy Myers (269)830-1676 or wendymyers1963@gmail.com
