Sunday Details
Souper Bowl of Caring…Don’t forget that the LOFT youth this Sunday are collecting items for the Souper Bowl of Caring to donate to Emergency Family Assistance Association (EFAA). This national event, held every year on the same Sunday as the NFL's Super Bowl, is led by youth who collect money or canned food to support local, national and international anti-hunger efforts. Trinity’s high school youth will again be collecting after the 8 am and 10:30 am services on THIS Sunday, February 7th. They will be collecting shampoo, peanut butter, pasta, lemonade mix, canned chili, and breakfast cereal. Monetary or grocery card donations will also be accepted and should be placed in the church office.

Notes
LOFT Babysitting Night…Parents, don’t forget that the LOFT Youth are offering another Babysitting Night on Saturday, February 13th at Trinity 5:30-9:30pm. A freewill offering will be collected and funds raised are to help the youth going to Puerto Rico this summer to lead a Day Camp.

Ash Wednesday Worship at 12noon…Since the Golden West Communion Service is happening at Golden West on Wednesday, February 17th (Ash Wednesday) and will be a full Ash Wednesday worship with Imposition of Ashes, Trinity is trying out a new 12noon worship on Ash Wednesday ONLY so folks can come to worship over their lunch break. Please consider coming and invite your friends and co-workers for worship at Trinity that day. We will also be offering our usual 7pm Worship on Ash Wednesday, February 17th, in the evening as well. All services will include Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.

Ushers Needed for 10:30am Worship…We are looking for one additional usher to join the 10:30am worship usher team for the 4th Sunday of the month and another for the 2nd Sunday of the month. If you are interested in helping out with this very important ministry, please speak to Steve Smith, head usher or Melanie in the church office. Thanks!

Haiti Relief Donations…There are still several ways you can make donations to help the relief efforts in Haiti. And if you are a Thrivent member, Thrivent is matching donations members make to ELCA Disaster Response or Lutheran World Relief. Donations can be made in the following ways:
Direct to ELCA disaster relief at www.elca.org/disaster or 800-638-3522
Direct to Lutheran World Relief by texting “LWR” to 40579. This makes a $10 donation that appears on your cell phone bill.
Through Thrivent at Thrivent.com/helpinghaiti or 1-800-236-2736. (You MUST do it this way to get the Thrivent match if you are a member) When prompted after calling, please say "directory" then enter ext. 83003. (donation can be made to LWR or ELCA Disaster Response this way and will include the match)
By writing a check to Trinity with “Haiti” in the memo. We’ll compile these donations and send them in. Thanks!
Note: Trinity will be collecting items for health kits starting in March, too. Stay tuned for more information on this in the March Holy Post.
