SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS –The Children's Sunday School and the Adult Bible Class will pause for July and August. All classes will resume in September with an exact date to come closer to that time!

LADIES, spend an hour with us on Thursdays as we learn together. We’ll be studying Elisha, Archangel Gabriel, Anna and Simeon, the Poor Woman and Thomas. Bring your bible and a smile to the conference room at 11:30 am.
Special Ministries News - Throughout July and August we will be collecting school supplies for the children at Granby Elementary located on Newport Avenue in Norfolk, VA. Granby Elementary is a Title 1 school and many of their students are unable to get the needed supplies to succeed. Help us make sure all students start off the New School Year with the proper supplies they need to help them learn. Please place your donations on the box marked diapers inside the parking lot doors. Items needed - Notebooks, Pencils, Glue, Tape, Markers, Scissors, Paper, Backpacks, Pens, Binders, Folders and Rulers.
Second Quarter Statements are now available in the Welcome Center. Please pick yours up today. If you have any questions, please call the Church Office. These statements will not be mailed.
New Church Directories are available in the Welcome Center this morning. Please pick up a copy. You can also access this information when you sign in to the Church’s website under the ‘Member” tab. If you need help with that, please contact Anne in the Church Office.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE – At Trinity we recycle as much as we can! Did you know that Bill Sontag has set up a large grey trash can behind the shed so that you can conveniently deposit all of your metal items when coming to Church? ALL METALS, old electronics, old AC units, etc. Too big to fit in the can? Just set it beside the can behind the shed. Monies collected from this recycling effort will be used to help with building maintenance/beautification around Trinity.
Printer Ink Cartridge Recycling – We also collect used ink cartridges! Office Max/Depot Recycling Rewards will give us credit for them towards future purchases. So, next time your ink is running low and you are getting ready to pitch it, please don’t and bring it in so that we can recycle it!
The MOVING TRINITY FORWARD Fund is a five-year campaign with a goal of $250,000. This fund will help support a renovation of our heating and cooling systems, support updates to the building to cover safety and security, a renovation of our playground, and updates to our roof and wiring throughout the building. Thank you for your prayerful consideration as we continue the “Moving Trinity Forward” Campaign. This will enable Trinity to plan for our future, and our future looks bright! Please mark on your envelope that the donation is for the MTF Fund! If you would like a pledge card to commit to your gift please or have any questions, please contact the church secretary.
Altar Flowers – Everyone enjoys seeing the beautiful flowers adorning our altar on Sunday mornings. If you have a special event or recognition please consider signing up to provide flowers one Sunday. The Flower chart is located in the hallway across from the office. We always appreciate any donations to the Flower Fund even if you don’t have an occasion to place flowers on the altar.
Bulletin Deadline – If you have a blurb or an insert for the bulletin, please make sure it is in to the Church Office by 9:00 am on the Wednesday morning prior to publication.
Generosity Made Easy - Would you like to forgo the hassle of envelopes? You can enroll in the VANCO Simply Giving program. You select the donation, the day and the frequency of the donation and the money is withdrawn from your bank account. Authorization forms are available on the hallway bulletin board. Please return completed forms to the Church Office along with a voided check (required). Please return completed forms to Anne Combes in the Church Office.
The Simply Giving® Program is an automated stewardship program that helps members live generously. It's a convenient, safe and simple way for individuals to make automatic payments to nonprofit organizations through electronic funds transfer (EFT) directly from checking or savings accounts. Thrivent Federal Credit Union has contracted with industry leader Vanco Payment Solutions to provide electronic payment processing services at reduced rates – so your generosity goes further. Trinity offers electronic giving as a way to automate your regular weekly offering. Electronic giving offers convenience for individual congregation members and provides much-needed donation consistency for our congregation. Direct Debit giving is used to automatically transfer funds from your checking or savings account to the church’s bank account. As you contemplate future contributions, please consider electronic giving.
