Blanket Sunday is November

5. In 2016, Church World

Service distributed

thousands of blankets

around the world. Trinity can

be part of an even bigger

response in 2017 to reach families

fleeing their homes, recovering from disaster, and

more. Money is used not only for blankets but also for food,

water, and other critical short- and long-term support to

survivors. Relief has been provided for disasters like Hurricanes

Harvey, Irma, and Maria, the earthquake in Mexico, and the

ongoing conflict in Syria. Blanket Sunday envelopes are in the

November 2-5, 2017

Trinity Today for your monetary donations. Put envelopes in

the offering plate, or send checks to the church office. Make

checks payable to Trinity Lutheran Church, and write

“Blanket Sunday” on the memo line. Your generous support

truly makes a difference to struggling families around the

world.

Call Committee news: Check out the bulletin board as soon

as you enter the Gathering Space to see the chart that

(1) illustrates the call process, (2) updates you on the

committee’s progress, and (3) introduces the members of the

Call Committee.

You can buy fair-trade coffee, tea, and chocolate in the

Gathering Space after services on Sunday.

newsletter.

ELCA National Youth Gathering! We

need your help to send 19

representatives of Trinity Lutheran

Church to Houston, Texas. The

Gathering is an inspirational meeting

of 30,000 Lutheran high school

students for faith building and service

to a community hit hard by

Hurricane Harvey. In a few weeks, you'll hear directly from the

youth who are excited for this opportunity, but in the

meantime ... here's what to do ... take any envelope from the

bulletin board in the Gathering Space ... fill it with the number

of dollars listed on the front (cash, check, or donate at the

Giving Station) … place the envelope in the offering, then ...

SMILE ... you are a blessing to the youth and their advisors!

Thank you!

Please join us for the 2nd

Annual Thanks & Giving

event on Sunday,

November 19. Like last year,

instead of putting on a

dinner for ourselves, we’ll be

giving to others. We’ll make

and deliver dinners to Trinity

members and those in the

community in need of the

meal, such as home-

bound folks or those with no one else to share the day. In

addition, we’ll collect canned goods. At the same time, we’ll

remember all the ways we’re thankful for how God has

blessed us. This event is a wonderful way for us to work

together while helping those in need during the holidays. Sign

up at the table in the Gathering Space to be part of this

great outreach!

Faith in Action: Bread for the World’s Offering of Letters will be

collected and blessed at Trinity on November 19. These letters

will be hand-delivered to Congress in Washington, D.C. Your

messages to Congress will push legislators to make funding

decisions which will support vital anti-hunger and anti-poverty

programs and policies that put us on track to “End Hunger by

2030!” Note: Information, sample letters, and stationary will be

available in the Gathering Space November 4 and 5 and 11

General Mills, Scott Paper, and others. UPC labels and box

tops should be placed in the pink Campbell’s tin box on the

table located to the left of the Gathering Space main

entrance door. Sheets containing a list of accepted product

box tops are available on that table.
