News and Notes for Sunday, June 14, 2009

Lutheran Digest: Have you missed the Spring Issue of Lutheran Digest? Most all of us have! The reason our church has not received our recent issues is due to the retirement of Betty Allen (our long time sales agent). Finally, after many weeks of investigating, I have discovered that our church will not receive anymore issues until a Sales Agent is found to take over the handling of the Wellsville area. If someone is found quickly, (1-2 weeks) we might be able to start getting the Digest again with the Fall 2009 issue. If anyone is interested in finding out more about what the job would entail, please call the Lutheran Digest headquarters at 952-933-2820. Please be sure to tell them you are representing Trinity Lutheran Church.

VBS Is Coming! The dates for this year’s VBS are Aug. 17 – Aug. 21 from 5:30 – 8:00pm. Be on the lookout for sign up sheets in the coming weeks for volunteers and donations. This year’s theme is Gadget’s Garage and we are looking for donations of corrugated cardboard which may be dropped at the church office or Sunday School office. We are also looking to “borrow” toy tools/workshop items for decorating. If you do loan something for VBS to use during VBS week, be sure to label with your name so it can be returned to you. Any questions, please speak to Kristin Crawford. Thanks!
