Church Notes for March 23, 2025

 

PROMISED TREASURES Lent Family Calendar: Only a few calendars are still available! Be sure to pick up one to enjoy the experiences each day to remind us of God’s eternal love for us in Christ.

 

TRINITY’S NEW DIRECTORY is in the Fellowship Hall, on the table. Pick up yours today!

 

FREE REGISTRATION FOR CAMP OKOBOJI: Please register online by April 1, 2025, and give your registration confirmation to Linda, or place in the basket on the door. Please refer to the insert for more information. 

 

FORTY DAYS OF GIVING UP - Did you decide to give up something you no longer need each day during Lent? When you fill a trash bag you may bring it to the Parenting Matters room across from the office.  Look for the Forty Days of Giving Up sign on the wall. When you leave your donation, please say a prayer for those who will receive what you have donated. More trash bags are in the Fellowship Hall in the basket.  Thank You! 

 

ALL WOMEN, AND YOUR FRIENDS are invited to “Steppin’ Out in Faith.” Where have your feet taken you and where are you heading? For a fun, morning with food, fellowship and the study of God’s Word, come Saturday, March 29th to Trinity, Jefferson Fellowship Hall starting with registration and goodies at 8:30 a.m. Registration is $7.00. The morning activities will close with a salad luncheon.

 

TRINITY’S LWML IS collecting items for HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN living in the LOTUS PROJECT. It is located in northeast Iowa. If you are interested in supporting the 15 women and 10 homeless children living there, they would appreciate any of the following items: gas cards, canned goods, garbage bags, hygiene items, feminine products, laundry detergent, TP, bath towels, cleaning products, twin size sheets, quilts and comforters. There is a table in the hallway with a sign for your donations.  We will collect until March 29th. Thank You.

Please start saving your pop and soup can tabs for Lylah & Ian Griffith for the Ronald McDonald House.  This is a project for their 4-H Club, Cass Pioneers.

 

Building Healthy Families: How was your day, honey? Arriving home from work, school, or a day away, you may be the one who asks – or hears – this familiar question. While there’s nothing wrong with the question, what would happen if you would dig just a little bit deeper to connect more with your spouse, children, grandchildren, neighbor, or friend? Maybe instead try something like this: I’m developing my prayer list for this week - what’s a challenge you are facing right now or have coming up that I can pray about for you? Or, we believe the Bible’s promise that God is with us all the time. Where did you see Him today? Then see where God may take the conversation!
