Announcements

VBS 2022 Canceled!

We are sad to say that Trinity Lutheran Church will not be able to hold Vacation Bible School as planned (July 5-8). This decision to cancel is painful and comes about only because of the confluence of two factors: 1) very low enrollment (during a holiday week) on our end and 2) organizational problems on the part of our staffers from Luther Road.

We apologize for any problems this causes with individual schedules. Pastor Tim expresses his personal disappointment that he will miss the community formed as the kids, helpers, crew leaders, and adults all work together.

June Pantry Report

In June 142 families were served providing food for 339 people. Kid’s Kits given out: 82. Heading into the second month of offering Kid’s Kits more pudding and fruit cups plus drink pouches have to be ordered. Small ‘salty’ and ‘sweet’ treats will be needed. It is fun to see how each child in a family looks forward to their own kit. Tooth brushes and tooth paste are added to the kits when available. Other supplies needed for basic serving are still in good supply from the postal drive collection. Monetary donations are still ‘steady’ and available for purchasing perishable food items that are particularly appreciated by the families needing pantry assistance.

Thank you to all who continue to support this special community service.
