TRINITY’S PICNIC DINNER and PIE SOCIAL THIS WEDNESDAY
Our annual summer event is this Wednesday July 22. The dinner will be served from 4:30-6:30 pm for a free-will donation. The menu offers barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, baked beans, homemade potato salad, watermelon, chips, pickles, coffee and lemonade, and of course a variety of pies and ice cream! The dinner can be eaten here or taken out.
Proceeds will go to the Community Food Pantry and the TLC Building Fund. Trinity thanks Thrivent Financial Action Teams for their sponsorship.
A sign-up sheet is in the Fellowship Hall with ways you can help. For questions talk to Jean Peterson. Invite your friends and neighbors!

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.

STAY CONNECTED THIS SUMMER
Trinity sends out a weekly email blast, usually on Wednesdays. It contains the order of service with liturgy and song lyrics for the upcoming Sunday worship and the newsletter with announcements. Occasionally it will also contain the Minutes from a recent Council Meeting. If you would like to receive these emails to help you stay connected, send an email to our office at: trinitylutheranhammond@gmail.org. Those who think they are on the list but don’t always see the emails might check their Spam or Promotions folders or make sure the office has your current email address.

Illustrated bulletins for pre-reader and reading children are available during worship. Ask an usher for a children’s bulletin when you arrive!
