Our local Meals on Wheels program delivers meals in Somerset and outlying communities and continues to provide quality meals to their clients on a daily basis, including homemade desserts donated from members of area congregations. Our Trinity family has always responded with many desserts and adequate funds to provide for our commitment. This year our two weeks are October 12-16 and October 19-23. Please prayerfully consider helping with this valuable ministry, and if you can, please sign up on the sheets in the Narthex or bulletin or call me at (814) 445-7660 or email me at jbmin60@gmail.com. If you can’t reach me by phone, please call
Trinity’s Office (814) 445-5446 as they will have the list as well.
All Saints Sunday is November 1.  In the ancient church it was called “All Souls Day” and coincided with Halloween.  To this day All Saints Day is recognized the day after Halloween.  Lutherans believe that all people are simultaneously “sinner” and “saint”, so our celebration of All Saints Day is a day to remember all the people who have passed from this world.  This year, instead of lighting candles for each person we wish to commemorate, we are inviting you to bring a small photo of loved ones, (can be family, friend, acquaintance, or even a celebrity) who you wish to remember.  We will display the photos in the narthex on that Sunday.  We honor the Mexican Christian tradition of “The Day of The Dead” in this way, as it has direct link to our festival of All Saints.

Lutheran WORLD Relief School Kits:

How can you help?
There are several ways that the adults of Trinity can still participate in
the July event regarding school kits:

1. Make drawstring backpacks for the school kits. If you like to sew,
and have some sturdy fabric remnants, turn them into drawstring
backpacks! A suggested pattern has been provided by LWR. You’ll find
it on the School Kit box in the Narthex.

2. Purchase items for the school kits. A specific list has been provided
by LWR (see next page). Items you wish to donate can be placed in the
box in the Narthex, labeled School Kits. We will collect items until the
last Sunday in September.

3. Make a monetary donation for the purchase of school kit items.
Donations can be labeled School Kits and placed in the offering plate.
