COMMITTEE REPORTS
MISSION COMMITTEE LUCILLE KUZEMCHAK
Contributed through budgeted money:
$500 UMCOR for Haiti
We have completed our collections for Pathway Shelter for the time being. Thank you for your generous contributions the past three months. Your response has been overwhelming. It's a good feeling to know we have helped so many people in need.
SPRC CONNIE SUTTON
During the month of March the committee will be starting the yearly evaluation process for Pastor Greg and will be finalizing some staff changes. We will be asking Church Council to approve the hiring of a new nursery caregiver and to approve a new staff position of Praise Team Director.
The church is in need of another casual/substitute custodian. A description of this opening can be found in this newsletter.
This is a very active church and the staff spends many unseen hours planning and preparing to help us all serve the Lord and our community. Please take a minute and say thanks to our staff.
STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
The law teaches us that God's provision dictates the believer's proportion. In other words, what He provides determines what we give. If he gives a little, from that little we are to give; if He gives abundantly, from that abundance we are to give. Whatever He provides, regardless of the depth or breadth, determines the measure of our giving.
Proportionate participation in the work of God involves much more than money. Whatever God has given you, in whatever measure, is to be dedicated to Him. Your talents, your abilities, your material wealth, your time - all are resources from which you can give.
HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE STACEY ROBERTSON
Spring! Yes it is coming and with it final exams and the end of the school year for our students. We have traditionally sent a small package with some goodies and notes to let the students know we are thinking of them. Last year we were blessed with so many things they didn’t fit in the boxes. If we are again blessed to overflowing the extras will go to our Creation trip members.
We have 23 students this year. Some of the items that ship well are: individual service drink mixes such as crystal light and propel, hot chocolate mix, flavored teas, instant cereal, soup and noodles, hard candy, fruit candy, gum or mints, small packages of cookies and crackers. In the past years we have also had small stress balls and play-dough to help with stress. I look forward to seeing what creative ideas come up this year.
We will have boxes in the Growing Spirits room for donations. We will be putting the boxes together after the 11 o’clock service on April 11 and we can always use help with making and delivering the packages. To save on postage we will again try to deliver the local packages in person.
CAMP STEWARD CINDY LONG
Tired of all the snow and cold temperatures? Then it must be time to think about summer and camping season. So far I have only gotten four applications for summer camps. The more popular sessions do fill up rather quickly, so make your decisions and turn in your registration as soon as possible. By the way, if you check your camping brochure carefully, you should see a couple of familiar faces. Ask Kaitlyn Painter or Bree Bumbarger for autographs.
If you do not have a family member going to camp and would like to help with our church family, please mark your envelope “Camperships.” Please be in prayer for the children, youth, and adults of Trinity as they make their decisions about this year’s camping opportunities.
See Dawn in the church office or me for more information.
