All Church Potluck & Youth Fall Kick-Off Sunday…….NEXT Sunday, August 29th at 12noon. Be sure to join us next Sunday after the 10:30am worship service for an All Church Potluck & Youth Fall Kick-off. Immediately after the service the entire congregation will have lunch together in the fellowship hall. Bring a dish to share – hot dogs and drinks will be provided. After lunch, the youth will break out into their groups: LOFT, Christ’s Crew, Triniators, & Daring Disciples, to meet their adult leaders and talk about plans for the year.

Leftover Light Fixtures and Bulbs at Trinity…Trinity has been replacing all of its light fixtures this summer to more energy efficient models. We still have some of the 4-foot tube flourescent fixtures and will also have a large number of can light fixtures from the sanctuary. If you are interested in any of these light fixtures or bulbs, please contact Bill Rhode at 303-530-0415 or see him on Sunday morning to see what we have left. Thanks!

**Help Getting Non-Drivers to Trinity Needed**
Trinity is in the good position of having more people wanting to come to Trinity than we have space for in the Sunday morning van. So, we are hoping to match up some folks who attend the same service with non-drivers to help them get to worship at Trinity, matching 2 or 3 families with each individual who needs a ride so there are always plenty of options if someone is out of town, etc. We also plan to match up folks who live in the same area and attend the same worship service. We do plan to continue the Sunday morning van service, but our goal is to have the van going to as few stops as possible. If you are interested in helping to get some of our non-drivers to Trinity for worship, please email Pat Grady directly at plgrady@comcast.net or call her at the church office. We hope to get this ministry going right away, so please email today if you are interested or just want to find out more. Thanks!

Trinity’s Parking Lot CLOSED TODAY thru Thursday, Aug 11 & 12th
Trinity is having some much-needed work done on its parking lot continuing TODAY thru TOMORROW Thursday, August 12th.

We are in need of a small gourd that Gail Skinner can borrow as a prop for the puppet show on Rally Day. She will be taping a handkerchief to it and then somehow fixing it so the puppet is holding it or it is attached to the stage. If you have one that she can borrow, please email her directly at gailskinner@comcast.net
