Thank You! - from the Fellowship/Outreach Ministry Team
"Teamwork is like a jigsaw puzzle. You are each a single piece. But if any piece is missing chances of success decrease. Good teams have the commitment and don't leave things to fate. With trust and understanding teams achieve things that are great!"
You all make a difference for the team! This past weekend was a complete success with the first annual Resurrection Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Sunday Pancake Breakfast. Everyone did a fantastic job to make both these events outstanding!
At the egg hunt, we served approximately 40-50 children from 17 families. Several parents from the CDC expressed profuse thankfulness for this event.
Additionally, the Easter pancake breakfast was also a win! Approximately 100 people were served as our volunteers stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam!
A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in making this weekend a success!

Sponsor a Child's Bible
Do you know the purpose statement of Trinity's Child Development Center? We are very, very grateful for what Trinity Downtown is able to provide to local children and families through the CDC. The purpose statement is:
Trinity Lutheran School's Child Development Center
nurtures the development of the whole child
from a core foundation of faith,
preparing them spiritually, academically, socially, and emotionally
in partnership with their family
for future academic success and to lead purpose-filled lives for Christ.
So, in keeping with our purpose, each year Trinity Downtown gives a brand new children's Bible, The Jesus Storybook Bible, to every child who graduates from our four VPK classes. As these children leave our Lutheran child care center and begin Kindergarten at a new school, we send with them, and their families, the best gift we can give - a foundation of faith, nurturing, and the Word of God -- with a note inside that will remind them for years to come of their Trinity Family!
Each Bible is $7 or a case of 20 for $139. Please consider sponsoring one or more Bibles for these children. Checks can be sent to the office or dropped in the offering plate with VPK BIBLES written in the memo line.
