Trinity Newsletter for July 10, 2025
Monthly Curbside Food Drive
On the second Monday of every month, we host a food (and supply) drive for Crosslines, a ministry of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks that offers assistance to our underserved neighbors. In addition to shelf-stable food items, we also collect paper products (toilet paper, paper towels), 12-count egg cartons, and personal hygiene items including feminine hygiene products and incontinence supplies.
If the office is closed due to weather, the food drive will be rescheduled and a new date announced.
Congregational Meeting
Session has called a Congregational Meeting following worship on Sunday, August 24, for the purpose of electing a Pastoral Nominating Committee.

Wiggle Room
Everyone is welcome in the sanctuary. If you have a fussy child and would like to step out while continuing to participate in worship, please feel free to make use of our new Wiggle Room in Room 14. The room is outfitted with comfortable chairs, a changing table, a small bathroom, and a new (to us) television mounted on the wall, showing the livestream. Please note that children in the Wiggle Room must be accompanied by a grownup who brought them. Children three-and-under can be dropped off in the Nursery in Room 12.

We hope to collect 1 million pennies, or $10,000 by August 24.
Keep bringing your coins!
Photos Needed!
To commemorate Trinity’s 10th birthday, the Welcome & Fellowship committee is preparing a slide show. We’d love to include your snapshots of “church family moments” through the years! Please email photos to Jeanne Simpson no later than Aug. 17: design.simpson@gmail.com
Prayer Chain
There are currently 11 people on Trinity’s Prayer Chain. Pray-ers receive text messages whenever someone requests prayer. Prayer requests can be as specific or general as the requester wants. Two people were added to the Prayer Chain after filling out Helping Hands at Trinity Connects on January 26. If you would like to be added to the Prayer Chain, please text Pastor Tom at 920-237-9840. If you would like to request prayer, please text Pastor Tom at 920-237-9840.
Screen Time?
Our wonderful AV team would like to request that if you ever need anything put on the screens for any service that is held at Trinity, please let us know in advance so we can load things into the program properly. Sometimes it is very hard to load things moments before an event. Thank you for this consideration.
Lost and Found
Wondering where your pen, mug, charger, book, hat, sunglasses, or other elusive item is? Items turned into the church office will be placed in our new Lost & Found tubs, located on the shelf above the accessibility devices near the West entrance.
Trinity Sunday School Classes
Sunday School opportunities for all ages. Please consider joining us in exploring our faith and learning from one another in spaces of grace and love. All classes begin at 10:15 a.m.
Adult Sunday School classes meet jointly in the summer in the Fellowship Hall at 10:15 am. Please join us as we explore our next, faithful steps during this transitional time.
Children’s class is on break for the summer and will resume in the fall.
