*FUN STARS* Kenmore Picnic & Play and Carl's Trip

Trinity's 2nd-5^th graders are going on a PICNIC! Picnic & Play at Kenmore Park with Ms. Kelly, Mr. Dave, and Ms. Sam on April 28th, 2024.

We will meet in our Sunday school room after the 10:30 am service and walk from Trinity to Kenmore Park. Once there, we’ll enjoy lunch, some play time at the park, and then a walk on the Canal Trail to Carl’s for dessert!

Bring your sneakers, lunch, and sweet tooth; permission slips will be available on Sunday. Parents should plan to pickup children at Carl’s around 2:15-2:30 pm.

Please contact Kelly Carniol (kellycarniol@comcast.com) if you have any questions. We hope to see all of you for this final Fun Stars outing of the school year!

Continuing Expansion of Youth Participation

in Christian Service at Trinity

Trinity continues to expand opportunities for youth to participate in Christian

service. Caroline did her part to help with the effort.

John Henze, along with Adrian Smith, were designated ushers at the 10:30 am Rite II church service on Aprill 14th. Mr. Henze assisted in guiding Caroline, who was pulling a wagon with food items for the Trinity Outreach Ministry from the back of the sanctuary to the front, following the Oblation bearers. An announcement had been made about the need for food donations of cans of tuna, boxes of macaroni and cheese, rice, and white pasta for those with food insecurities. Pet food donations are also needed for the Trinity Animal Welfare Ministry.

After completing her task, Caroline was told by Mr. Henze that she did a fine job. Her mother, who was in the church choir, was all smiles. She believes that her children participating in worship at Trinity helps them feel known, valued, and needed as members of our community. Additionally, Caroline’s mother can see how it excites her children to contribute!

Notes From The EDGE - April 2024

Opportunities to get involved:

Christian Education needs Sunday School teachers. It’s only a 6 week commitment. The added bonus is you will be helping our youth explore, develop and expand their spiritual life. Please contact Jenn Gray at: jennifergatesgray@gmail.com.

Flower Delivery - each week our Altar Flowers are given to a member of the congregation. While not time consuming, this is an important part of our ministry and very much appreciated by those who are the recipients of the flowers. Please contact Harry Dickinson at hdcpa1@verizon.net.

Coming Soon Blue Notes!

As a commitment to keeping the congregation informed, the Vestry Person at each service will hand out a summary of what occurred at our monthly meeting In addition the Blue Notes will be included in the Newsletter.

Please note Vestry minutes and monthly financial reports are posted on the bulletin board in the hall outside Cynthia’s office as well as in Barber Hall.

On behalf of the entire Vestry, thank you for your continued financial support.
