Notes
**2011 Faith Commitment Card [Pledge Card] Correction**…We are sorry for the confusion but there is a misprint on the 2011 Faith Commitment Card. On the Benevolence Allocation side of the card "Social Ministry" appears twice, each for $1000. The second "Social Ministry" entry should be "Lutheran Family Services." Information on Lutheran Family Services is listed in the Benevolence Workbook along with the other Council Recommended Benevolences. Sorry again for the confusion. ---Stewardship Committee

Household Ministry Event: Making Chrismons…On Sunday, November 28th, the first Sunday in Advent, Margie Dugan and Becca will be leading a Household Ministry Event between the services. Come help prepare Trinity and your own home for Advent as each household (from one to many...no age limit) will make a Chrismon for Trinity’s tree and one for their tree at home. The word “Chrismon” comes from the words “Christ” and “monogram”. Chrismons are symbols of faith and, like ornaments, are placed on Christmas trees to remind us that Jesus is our cause for celebration at Christmas. Cost is two Chrismons (one for Trinity and one for your home) for $10. Please sign up with Becca so supplies can be prepared. Questions? Ask Margie Dugan or Becca.
