 Children's Offering Update For just 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. Throughout the summer months members from the Trinity sponsored Scout Troop 6 will be passing the children's offering basket. All proceeds will go directly to help make much needed repairs to the Scout hut owned by Trinity parish. The St. Francis Fund was able to give a generous $7500 for program needs, but was unable to contribute for building repairs. Your offering is greatly appreciated! Be sure to provide chances for your kids or grandchildren to earn a few bucks during the week so they can proudly give back at church. Email Katie Damke or call her at (256) 282-4677 for info. |
