ANNOUNCEMENTS

60TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: Next Sunday, we will be celebrating Trinity’s 60th anniversary. Six of Trinity’s former pastors will be helping lead worship and two of Trinity’s young people will be confirmed. Immediately following worship, there will be a program in the fellowship hall. It will include honoring our charter member, Vivian Cleland, and a time of memory sharing with the pastors. A luncheon will follow the program. Everyone is welcome to attend what will surely be a great day at Trinity!

REMEMBRANCE OF A SPECIAL SAINT Please fill out the gold form and put it in the offering plate, if you would like a loved one who has died in the last year to be remembered on All Saints Day.

ROCS They especially need pancake mix, syrup, crackers, and peanut butter. Your generosity is very much appreciated.

NOISY OFFERING We collected $51.98 in September for the Helen Keller International. October is Disability Awareness month, and we will be collecting for the ELCA Disability Ministries Campaign.

THANK YOU FROM ROSEMARY Thanks to everyone who had my family and me in your prayers with the recent passing of my mother, Ruth Boeke.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: All announcements may be sent to Pastor Lisa or to Trinity’s Secretary by Wednesday evening each week. Newsletter items may be sent to Ron Luurs by the 20th of each month.
