News and Notes From This Week's Bulletin - March 22, 2009

Easter Memorials: We are continuing with the practice taking contributions in memory of a loved one to Trinity Lutheran Church. Contributions given will be designated to the Capital Project. Several Easter Lilies/Flowers will be placed in church on Easter Sunday to remember all those who have passed away. A list of donors and for whom they are remembering will be included in our Easter worship bulletin. If you haven’t received a memorial form yet, there are some on the table in the church lounge. Anyone is welcome to contribute; you do not have to be a church member. If you would like your memorial to be included in the Easter worship bulletin, please return your form and money to the church office no later than Wednesday, April 8. Thank you.

Coffee Hour Hostess Today is Barb Delity. Thank you for hosting!
