News and Notes for Sunday, August 25, 2013

Plans For This Year’S Hands And Harvest Craft Sale are underway. The date is Saturday, Oct. 5, 10am-3pm. Please spread the word to any handcrafters you may know. Tables are available for $15 each. Please contact Karalee at 593-9032 for more info. Once again, we ask everyone to bring in any items that need “re-gifting” which can be used for our Chinese Auction. Also, any medium to large-sized baskets would be welcomed. Items/baskets can be placed under the tables along the office wall in the lounge.

Reaching Rural America For Christ: Our congregation will be hosting a LCMS Rural & Small Town Mission Workshop on Saturday, September 28 from 8 to 3 here at our church. Many of our congregations are concerned about shrinking membership and fewer children and families in worship. There is no “one size fits all” solution. However through this event, congregational leaders will be encouraged as they see new opportunities for engaging their communities and filled with hope for the future. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. There is NO cost for members of our congregation to attend. Pre-registration is required. A signup sheet will be available in the lounge on the table. 

In the late 70’s Trinity sponsored a Laotian family of six to come to Wellsville. Many people in the congregation including my mother Joan Collins, were instrumental in the resettlement. Bounmey Sengdara was the father, a very work oriented man. Bounmey passed away after a long illness on Aug. 3, 2013. Blessings to his family & friends. – Debbie Gerdes.
