RISK TAKING MISSIONWe're supporting Bethlehem on Broad (BOB) once again this year. Our goal is to share 250 food boxes with hungry Columbus families. BOB begins next Sunday, November 17. Our project this year will differ from years past - you'll pick up a provided box in the Narthex, fill it with needed items (on your own time!), and return it to Trinity by Saturday, December 7. Boxes will be shared with the community on December 14 at Broad Street UMC. You may also support the project by volunteering your time or making a cash donation. Questions? Stop by the BOB table on November 17.

CARE AND SUPPORT We're a church that believes strongly in the power of prayer. In need of prayer? Share your prayer requests with us by (a) filling out the Connection Card in your bulletin and placing it with the offering, (b) writing on Trinity’s Prayer Wall at trinityumchurch.tv/prayer, (c) calling or emailing the Church Office.

Wondering how you will survive the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas? Are you dreading these holidays, knowing that everything has changed and that happy memories from past years can’t be recreated? Trinity's Surviving the Holidays seminar welcomes all, especially for people who are grieving a loved one’s death. Join us to discover practical holiday coping strategies, and gain hope for brighter days ahead. Tuesday, November 19 | 6 - 8 PM | Trinity Chapel
