Sunday Notes
Casas Tomato Plant Sale…Support the Casas por Cristo house building project by purchasing tomato plants on THIS Sunday, May 8th. The ready to set-out plants will be available in the Narthex between services for a donation of 50 cents each. This year there will be more than a dozen varieties. Obtain these plants for yourself, as a gift for a gardening friend, or at 50 cents each, a last minute easily affordable gift for Mother’s Day from the children. The entire donation for the plants goes to Casas por Cristo mission to Mexico!

Trinity Youth Community Fund Distributions…As a part of worship THIS Sunday, the Trinity Youth Community Fund will distribute grant money to four nonprofit organizations. Come to worship to learn who the youth are granting money to this year!
