Help Union Gospel Mission Fill Food Bags

Once again this year, Trinity will be helping the Union Gospel Mission provide food for families in need. A list of items that can be purchased to fill a grocery bag can be

found in the o#ce. These food items will be distributed just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Filled bags need to be returned to Trinity next Sunday, November 13. Unlike previous years, only a list of items will be handed out - you’ll need to provide your own grocery bag.

All-Church Thanksgiving and Prayer Service Next Sunday, November 13

10:00 am (one service) As we continue to walk out our mission of being a family formed from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, seeking to grow in our relationship with Christ, we are excited to hold an All-Church Thanksgiving and Prayer Service with our partner churches, Trinity Karen Baptist Church and Minnesota Thai Church. In this service we will seek to “bear one another’s burdens” by hearing each pastor share the prayer needs of their respective church and country, with each congregation then taking time to pray for one another’s needs. Each pastor will also speak to forgiveness, purity, and unity toward each other as a Christian body so we may further witness to the power and love of Christ. As we have done in past years, a potluck lunch will follow the service. Please sign up in the church o#ce today for a dish to bring - either a main dish, salad, side dish or dessert. Beverages will be provided.

Nominations now open for Board of Stewards and Nominating Committee

Every year Trinity elects new members to our Board of Stewards and Nominating Committee. Please take the opportunity to nominate a candidate, or candidates, for the Nominating Committee (two vacancies) and the Board of Stewards (four vacancies). Nominations close Sunday, December 4, and voting will take place during the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 28, 2017. If you wish to nominate a Trinity member, please get that person’s approval and then give the name or names to a Nominating committee member (Karen Burton, Dan Carlson, Gwen Larson, Dick Nelson, BOS Rep Bill Weigel, and ex-o#cio member Pastor Peter Vogt).

Celebrate a new arrival at a baby shower!

All ladies and girls are invited to attend a baby shower for Director of Worship and Music Ebony Ramquist, on Saturday, November 12 at 10:30 am, in the Fellowship Room. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Jane Weigel at 651-429-6086 or billweigelsigns@yahoo.com.

Date changes for Wednesday evenings coming soon!

There will be no Wednesday evening activities both November 23 and 30. November 23 is due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. On November 30, TKBC will be hosting their annual Sweet December celebration. This involves their entire congregation

welcoming December, the month of Christ’s birth, with festivities, similar to our New Year’s Eve, including worship, prayer and of course, food. Wednesday evening activities will resume, December 7, before taking a break until January 11, 2017.

Special Business Meeting TODAY! There will be a special business meeting immediately following Contemporary Worship (11:35 am), in the Social Hall. The purpose of this meeting will be to vote on the proposed new names. Communion Sunday: Communion Sunday is also Caregiver’s Purse Sunday. To contribute you may use the oHering envelope in the pew rack and designate “Caregiver’s Purse” or you may mark you regular oHering envelope accordingly. Find us on Instagram! If you are an Instagrammer please follow us at tbchurch_mn. We would love to share pictures or videos you take of Trinity events and people. Please email pictures and videos to Ebony Ramquist, our Director of Worship and Music, at eramquist@tbcmn.org.
