News and Notes From This Week's Bulletin - Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Become A Shepherd. The Evangelism committee is looking for people to become Shepherds here at Trinity. The idea is to have a “Shepherd” look after several families by making contact with them. This can be done in various ways. The Shepherd can reach out to them through cards, phone calls, email, or a home visit. The Shepherd will be encouraged to pray for them on a daily basis and help to develop a relationship based on their shared faith. The idea is to encourage re-connecting with our congregation. For more information contact Janet Carlin (593-3186) or Betty Wood (593-2405) or email her at bettywood@trinitywellsville.com

Greeters Needed For Sunday Mornings. Just take a minute and look around you on Sunday morning and you will notice we have a lot of new faces. How exciting! So many people have told me how welcome they feel when they first visit. We would like greeters to introduce themselves to the visitor(s); learn their names and have them sign the guest book with a complete address, invite them to stay for the coffee hour after church, and introduce them to at least two other members. Contact Janet Carlin (593-3186) or Betty Wood (593-2405) bettywood@trinitywellsville.com if interested. Let’s keep a good thing going!

Spring Cleaning Time! Now is the time to start cleaning out those unused items in good condition that you would like to donate to the flea market to be held Saturday, June 14th in Gargoyle Park in Olean.
