Mission Box
This week's mission box supports Trinity's Faith Mission (3701 NE 15th Street). While much of what we do is in our neighborhood, an essential part of our ministry is offering mission-focused studies for Trinity. We do this because, together, we explore how others engage in transformational mission (with studies like Toxic Charity and When Helping Hurts), we deepen our understanding of one another and our community (with activities like the Cost of Poverty Experience), and we grow as followers of Jesus Christ (with workshops like Dignity Serves). The result is that we learn to serve in the way of the Gospel towards healing, reconciliation, and empowerment here in Gainesville and around the world!
(Text TrinityGNV to 779-77 for a link to give to the Mission Box.)

Family Promise (Help Needed)
Family Promise will be our guests again from October 13-20. Family Promise is an organization that keeps homeless children and their families together while they work on getting their lives on track and finding permanent housing. Trinity, along with a number of other congregations, houses these families four times a year in our church for a week. If you'd like to support this effort, you can help by setting up the rooms, spending a night, having dinner with the families, providing food, and taking laundry home at the end of the week! It takes a village, and we appreciate any help you can lend. You can sign up to help here.

Jayne Moraski as soon as possible. They are hoping to find these items by Wednesday!
We are looking for a sponsor for the tote bags we use to package the Thanksgiving Baskets. The bags we currently utilize don't hold the weight of the canned goods, and recyclable tote bags are great not only for their strength but also for these families to use in the future.

Kelly Ping (352-416-3048) as soon as possible!
