Or if you can’t come and want to sponsor a blanket, you can do that for just $25 for the cost of materials. If interested, write a check to Trinity and put Piecemakers in the memo.

Youth will be provided with dinner, fun, snack, and games. All youth should be picked up by 9:30pm. Funds raised are used to help send the LOFT youth to Puerto Rico this summer to lead a Day Camp there.

THIS Sunday, February 14th is the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Our worship lessons will be: Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99; 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2; Luke 9:28-36 (37-43a). Be sure to join us!

Lenten Home Bible Study Forms Due THIS Sunday… During Lent the Adult Ed Committee is sponsoring a Lenten Small Group Bible Study in which we will be gathering in groups of 6-8 for Bible Study. Yellow forms to register for this are on the table in the narthex and that same form is attached to this email. This form is due back to church THIS Sunday, February 14th. Groups will be announced on Sunday, February 21 and the study will begin the last week in February. Questions may be directed to Randall Rutsch or Pastor Mark.

Bring Palms in to be burned for Ash Wednesday…Don’t forget that this is the Sunday to bring in your Palms from last year’s Palm Sunday. We’ll then burn them into Ashes to use for Ash Wednesday Worship. Thanks!

12:00pm Second Sunday Lunch for the Hungry…Thank you to all those who have signed up to help with Lunch for the Hungry THIS Sunday. Please plan to come downstairs to the fellowship hall by 12noon and you’ll be finished around 2pm. Thanks again for helping to make life different for others!

Notes
Ash Wednesday Worship at 12noon & 7pm…Since the “usual” 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 so folks who work downtown or nearby 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. The 7pm worship will have childcare and van service provided for those who need it. All 3 worship services will include Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.

Church History as the Work of the Holy Spirit Bible Study…Please note that starting on Wednesday, February 17th, the Wednesday night bible study will be moving to Thursday nights at 7pm until we complete the class. The Thursday morning class at 8:30am will continue as scheduled.

Lenten Devotionals Available THIS Sunday….The Education Committees are providing Lenten Devotionals for Youth and Adults starting THIS Sunday, February 14th. Look for them to be available on the table in front of the stained glass window. Thanks!
