THE ANNUAL MEETING & THE BODY OF CHRIST
It’s that time of the year again; graduations, attending parties, yard work, and the May annual congregational meeting. Now, if your first response is, “I don’t want to go to a meeting. Besides, they don’t need me there anyway,” then I encourage you to read on.

The Holy Trinity Food Pantry is in need of the following items:
- Laundry detergent & feminine hygiene products
- Recently purchased ground beef, chicken or other mainstay meats that are in 1-2 pound packages.
- Credit/debit card donations at the Giving Station located in the Narthex.
We do not need plastic bags right now; they can be recycled at grocery stores.
Your monetary, food and personal care gifts are an outreach of God's love to the Ankeny community.
