Pot luck dinner - The next fellowship dinner in the succession of sesquicentennial celebrations here at trinity will be hosted by the church council on sunday, may 17, 2009, after the morning service. It will be a classic potluck dinner with an entrĂ©e provided. Members are asked to consider a $2 donation to help cover expenses. Disposable pans are available next to the sign-up sheet for this event, and each dish to pass will “cover” four people, so those who do cook are encouraged to partner up with those who do not so that we can be sure of plentiful, delicious and varied dishes! contributions of good looks, charm and especially dish-pan hands are also important so come on down and join the fun.

The flowers today are given to god’s glory in celebration of Art & Betty Haven’s 64th wedding anniversary by their children.
