Peace has a special request as we celebrate her birthday and ministry anniversary.

Peace's groomer - All Creatures Pet Grooming - continues to take in pets that need to find new homes. Their generous and loving nature saves dogs and cats that otherwise might be put down.

Peace wants to help them! Peace and team are collecting dog and cat food, treats and toys - any flavor, any brand - to help support their efforts. In addition, they can also use old towels and blankets.

All Creatures Pet Grooming has been very generous to Peace, donating their time and services to provide free grooming every month. That's why Peace is so anxious to help them and give back.

Please bring any donations and leave it in the narthex in Peace's box. If money is easier, you can give cash or check to Paul Soost, Peace's Top Dog. Checks should be made out to Trinity Lutheran Church with Peace Shares written on the memo line. Please bring all donations by Sunday, July 31.

Please help Peace give back to All Creatures Pet Grooming as they find new homes for dogs and cats in need. Thank you!

The amazing journey of an Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Gift begins with you and results in evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication.

Trinity Downtown is supporting this Samaritan's Purse ministry by collecting items for Operation Christmas child shoeboxes through the month of July. Shoebox gifts suggestions include small toys, non-liquid hygiene items, and school supplies for children aged 2 through 14. We also need your support in covering the cost of shipping the shoeboxes. Collection baskets will be in the Narthex and a packing party will be held on July 23rd from 9am-12pm.

For additional information about most needed donations visit https://www.samaritanspurse.org/occ or contact Lynn Hogan at lynnhogan@earthlink.net.

Everyone likes to receive gifts, young and old alike! Trinity has several members that are home bound and unable to make it to any services. On July 23rd from 9am-12pm, the Fellowship/Outreach Ministry Team will be putting together "warm hugs" in a basket. Items such as a Bible, daily devotionals, Trinity pens, tissue packets, miniature wooden crosses, etc. will be packaged together and delivered to these individuals. If you are interested, a donation would be appreciated to cover the cost of the materials for the baskets.

The next campus workday will be held on July 30 from 8am-12pm. The focus of this day will be to clean up the campus grounds.

The CDC teachers will be returning back to school for preplanning on Friday, August 5. The Fellowship and Outreach Ministry Team would like to sponsor a luncheon for the teachers that day and are inviting you to help sponsor the cost of the lunch. In previous years, the CDC administration ordered pizza which was then delivered to their rooms so they could work and eat simultaneously.

The cost of the pizzas and drinks needed is $250 and donations are needed by August 1. Please mark "CDC Pizzas" in the memo line.

Trinity's next Family Fun Night will be held on Friday, August 19, from 6:30pm-8:30pm. All ages from young to old are welcome to join in on some fun and games, whether board games or card games. The main event for the night is bingo with prizes that include nostalgia candy, "a blast from the past," and gift cards from various locations.

The Fellowship and Outreach team will be providing "The Breakfast Corner" for dinner. Both the team and attendees are asked to bring a breakfast casserole and the recipe on an index card; no dessert for the evening. A free-will offering will be taken to help cover operating expenses as well as for the Pastor's Discretionary Fund.

This month will also include a themed basket on display for a raffle drawing by the name "Bake Yourself at Home." So bring your $1 bills and play your heart out! Baskets change each month, but the purpose remains the same: to raise money to purchase gazebos for the courtyard.

Please contact the church office with any questions.

The LWML quilters currently meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 9:15am-12:30pm in the downstairs kitchen in the back of the Magnolia Street Building. Generally, 6-7 quilters are present and they are always willing to accept more hands! Church members have donated two sewing machines available in the room if you would like to join and do not own your own machine. Additionally, old sheets and cotton material are still needed; contact Mary Lou at 407-491-4452 if you have some supplies you would like to donate.

The quilters are planning a display of quilts in the church the first weekend in October, which is considered LWML Sunday. Finished quilts will be transported to the designated Orlando Zone Church the first week in February 2023. Looking ahead, two strong, young people will be needed to help with the boxing, weighing, and labeling of the quilts that week.

LWML also continues to use the mites collected in the small mite boxes and dropped in the large mite box on the East side of the front of the church. The coins are used entirely for the grants issued biannually and chosen by LWML delegate votes for various missions in the USA and the world.

The final Grief Share meeting for this session will conclude on July 26. The next Grief Share cycle begins August 30. If you have questions or would like to join, please contact the church office.
