Peace Shares
Just a quick reminder that this weekend is our last official collection weekend for Peace Shares. Please bring cat and dog food, treats, and toys to church with you this weekend and place the items in the collection box in the Narthex. If you are planning to donate with cash or check, you can give that directly to Paul Soost. Checks should be made out to Trinity Lutheran Church with Peace Shares written on the memo line.
Peace Shares benefits Peace's groomer, All Creatures Pet Grooming, who 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 says "Thank You" for your contributions!

CDC Teacher Luncheon
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.
Questions? Contact the church office,.

Family Fun Night
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.

LWML Quilters Update
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.
The LWML's zone is known as the Greater Orlando Zone and any woman who is a member of Trinity can put her name in for nomination as a candidate for president, secretary, or treasurer. Terms run for 2-years and will be presented at the fall rally in October at Faith Lutheran in Eustis. Please call Mary Lou at 407-491-4452 if you are interested and willing to serve.
