“Free to a Good Home!”
Upon organizing of some storage space here at Trinity, we have a very large model of Trinity Church that needs a home. This was used years ago, probably for a Stewardship program. It has an electric light inside that illuminates the stained windows. It is very charming, and someone had obviously spent a lot of time creating it years ago. If you are interested in this for yourself, please contact the church office as soon as possible. (by February 28) First come, first taker! It is currently being displayed in McCracken Hall on one of the tables. (Yes it lights up!)

Heifer Living Ark Project:
As it was for Noah and for us today, the Ark symbolizes hope and a new beginning. This year for Lent the children, youth, and families of Trinity can become part of the Heifer Living Ark project. Located on a table at the back of the Church, are supplies. Each family will receive one Giving Calendar and as many Ark Banks as there are members in the family. The Ark Banks will be collected on Palm Sunday, March 25, 2018. The money collected will be sent to Heifer International. It will be very exciting to see how much money we can raise for this worthy project.
