You will travel to Jerusalem for Palm Sunday, sit down for the Last Supper, discover the sacrifice of Good Friday and visit the empty tomb that very first Easter morning. Appropriate for all ages and designed for individuals or for parents and children to experience together. If you didn't register, that's ok, come a little bit early and sign up before we begin. Registration will be at the Livingston parking lot entry.

LWML Quilt
LWML Lutheran Women's Missionary League has received a gift from another LWML quilting group that has disbanded. The top was sewn by a former 2nd grade teacher here at Trinity, Mrs. Kay Retzlaff. The quilt measures 73" x 89" and fits a full bed. It is hand quilted out of new material and reverses to a chocolate brown with a medium weight polyester fill and fully washable. We will take silent bids for 4 weeks starting now and ending April 17, 2018. Each week this newsletter will report the current bid, starting at $75 in increments of $5. Whatever final bid the quilt brings will be divided in half, and distributed in equal halves to support Trinity's K-8 scholarship fund, and half to the LWML treasury. If you wish to bid, you can email MaryLou Evanchyk at mevanchy@att.net or call at 407/491-4452 and leave a message. THANK YOU!
UPDATE:
The current bid now stands at
$80
. It is worth so much more! Let's raise more than that for our LSML and school scholarship support! The quilt can be seen and handled at the Magnolia Building by appointment. Just call MaryLou Evanchyk (contact info above) to arrange a showing. THIS QUILT is HAND-PIECED AND HAND-QUILTED, very hard to find anywhere. Remember bidding ends April 17, 2018.
