Children's Offering Update 

For well over a year now Trinity's kids have been taking up their own offering from the other kids - and some "big kids" at heart. They alternate monthly between InReach projects for our church and outreach projects for our community.    

 

During the month of April the children collected funds which will allow them to provide the church flowers on Mother's Day and Father's Day. They collected a total of $525! This is a great way for our children to honor their parents and those who have served our country. They will love having a hand in picking out the flowers!

 

Throughout the month of May our Children's Offering will stay even closer to home as we collect funds to purchase devotional books for our children to use and thank you gifts for our Sunday School teachers.

    

Be sure to provide chances for your kids or grandchildren to earn a few bucks during the week so they can proudly give back. Thank you for your dedication and continued support of this ministry!

If you take a picture on your smartphone or tablet while you're at the church (or a church function away from church!) and are on Instagram, be sure to tag the photo with the hashtag shown above.

Flower Memorials & Thanksgivings  
Our Flower Guild is dedicated to glorifying God's beauty each Sunday and throughout the week by preparing our altar flowers and greenery. The ladies on our four alternating teams work very hard at arranging the flowers and greenery and they do it with such care. They are truly a blessed and talented bunch making the most creative and simply stunning arrangements. 
  
If you would like to provide flowers on a Sunday as a memorial for someone or in thanksgiving, please contact Sally Walden at (706) 327-7212 or email her here for information on pricing per altar and dates available.

Interested in joining the talented team of ladies on the Flower Guild? Call Joan Redmond at (706) 575-6689 or email her here. You may also call Martha Davis at (706) 329-5037 or email her here.
