We’ll have a campout Friday night and sing at both churches on the morning of the 23rd. E-mail Michele Yoder myoder@kirksville.k12.mo.us with questions or if you would like to help. Please call the church office to register. Trinity will be responsible for providing snacks for VBS on Thursday and Friday. if this is something you can provide, please let Carrol know.
Outreach Plate Collection: The Outreach Committee asks for your contributions to our local Habitat for Humanity for this month’s plate offering this Sunday, July 16. At the June Bishop’s Committee meeting, members voted to support our local Habitat group in prayer, in distributing the “statement of interest” that precedes an application for a project, and in encouraging volunteer and financial contributions. Habitat has just redone a home to accommodate a wheelchair, has a remodel project planned for this fall, and will be building a home in 2018.
Upcoming Recovery Service: On Monday, July 17th at 7:00 we will gather for a recovery service – a Eucharistic service based on the 12 steps. The occasion is the 1 year sobriety date for Talie Alexander, and Carrol will preach about hope for us all as we are always being made new in Christ. Please join us for this service of celebration.
The Communication Committee: The Communication Committee is seeking new members to replace members who have moved on to new locations and new duties. The Committee is primarily responsible for maintaining the WHAT, the Trinity Website, and Social Media. Never used these tools before? Don’t worry, we’ll teach you. Owning a computer and having a good Internet connection are a plus. Send expressions of interest or questions to Kevin Minch at kevin.minch@gmail.com.
