Rain or Shine!
On Saturday, April 19 the Christian Ed ministry is going to have an Easter egg hunt. Children who can walk and are up to 12 years of age can participate. It will begin at 11:00 a.m. There will be an egg hunt, snack, and a short bible lesson taught by Pastor Joel.
If you would like to help, the ministry is asking for donations of pre wrapped candy to put in plastic eggs and prefilled plastic eggs. Please make sure that your candy is small enough to fit in an egg. Also in the Narthex you will see bags of empty plastic eggs. You can take a bag home and fill with candy and return to the church before the egg hunt. Give your donations to Grace Bickert or drop off at the church office by Sunday, April 13.
Also if you can donate cookies, please let Grace Bickert know.
If your child wishes to attend, please e-mail the church office at trinityaliveofc@gmail.com with your name, number of kids attending, and their ages.
Sharing and Caring Group
Most of us have experienced the heart-breaking death of a loved one…a spouse or partner, a parent or sibling, a dear friend or even a beloved child. After the funeral and committal are over and the phone calls and cards stop coming, family and friends often avoid the topic of your grief. You rely on your faith, your pastor, prayers and memories to fill the silence and that empty space in your life’s journey.
The Health and Wellness Ministry is considering organizing a group to share with, and to care for, others who are on that same journey to acceptance, coping and peace. None of us are qualified grief counselors, but we can “comfort others in their sorrows with the consolation we ourselves have received from God.”
We can pray together. We can support each other through the anniversaries of birthdates and deaths that we might otherwise acknowledge alone. We can share photos, memories or significant objects that pepper our homes. We can laugh and cry in our sharing and caring. No one would be asked to share when they are not comfortable in doing so and attendance can be sporadic.
Please note your interest on the sign-up sheet on bulletin board in the narthex. A planning meeting will be scheduled if there is a sufficient number of people who are interested in participating.
Postcards in Narthex
If you wish to let anyone know about Trinity’s schedule for Holy Week and Easter you can pick up a postcard in the Narthex for you to give to them or mail to them with all the dates and time on for the various services.
