THANK YOU!!
The annual Picnic Dinner and Pie Social at Trinity is in the books. Thank you to all who provided food and supplies for the meal! Thank you to all who worked at the event! And thank you to all who attended in support of proceeds which will be divided between the Community Food Pantry and the Trinity Lutheran Church Building Fund.
Thank you to Jean Peterson and her faithful crew for organizing this event!
A belated thank you to all who provided food and supplies for the annual Women’s Salad Luncheon back in June. Thank you to all who attended in support of proceeds which will be divided among the Food Pantry, School Backpack program, and Grace Place. Thank you!

SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE for ELEMENTARY KIDS and to PROVIDE FEMININE CARE PRODUCTS
Trinity members are invited to purchase school supplies for elementary children this summer and provide feminine care products. You can find a list of school supplies on the SCC website and print copies of needed supplies at Trinity for each grade 4K- Grade 4.
Separate lists for each grade is available. Please note that some things on the list occasionally include a brand name and that is because that brand will provide a desired quality.
In addition to the lists, all elementary students need 1) lace or velcro closure tennis shoes for Phy Ed; 2) a backpack large enough for a folder, projects, tennis shoes, and large books; and 3) Field Trip money of $25. The supply lists documents all these things. You can see how helping with supplies provides real help. You are also invited to purchase feminine care products for older girls.
There is a box in the fellowship area where you may place your donations. Please bring your donations by Sunday, August 16th.
