Sep. 1, 2010 Chris Underwood

Please join us for the next meeting of Trinity’s Mission & Outreach Team.  We meet the first Monday of each month at 7 PM in the Fireside Room.  (Downstairs on the bottom floor behind the kitchen.) Here church members update each other regarding current outreach projects. This is a good way to get involved in mission work and meet others who are currently participating in outreach projects. Feel free to invite a friend!  Contact Dave Barnhart at for more details. 

And, visit out our Coffee & Chocolate booth in the second floor commons area after the 8:45 AM worship service and before Sunday school.  Find out more about Trinity’s mission projects and outreach. Proceeds from the coffee and chocolate sales help support the cost of foreign missions.

Save the Date—UMW presents “The Lost Boys of Sudan” Sept. 20

Sep. 1, 2010 Chris Underwood

On September 20, the United Methodist Women’s Group will present the film, “The Lost Boys of Sudan”—the story of thousands of young Sudanese boys separated from their families by civil war since 1983, and forced to travel for more than two years and 1,000 miles to find refuge from war and certain death.
Traversing deserts and mountains with little food or water, no medical care, and no protection from wild animals, they emerged traumatized.  Some were settled in the United States and other countries, others were reunited with their families, and some are still in refugee camps. 

Join us for dinner and hear an amazing testimony from Victor Duang Deng. Victor is a “Lost Boy of Sudan” and is now working with Make Way Partners in the United States. Tickets will be available for purchase in the Narthex on Sunday, September 12. Watch Tidings for more details.
