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.

Orlando Speedworld Invitation
You are invited to join other Trinity members at the drag races at Orlando Speedworld on March 26 (Horsepower Wars) and 27 (Modern Street Hemi Shootout). We encourage you to reach out and invite friends from other churches to join us for this event.
Depending on the number of people joining, the plan is to leave from Trinity as a group for some good clean fun, swapping stories of cars and racing, walking through the pits to check out the cars, and watching fast cars (this meet should have cars doing the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds).
Gates open at 8am and the plan is to leave for the track at that time. Don't forget to invite a date or bring the kids. Bring a pop up tent, chairs, and ear plugs if you think you need one. In case things run late, for those who cannot drive at night, we can provide a ride home.
If you have questions or would like to join, contact Brian Paul by text at 407-489-3363.

LWML Quilters Update

We are welcoming any and all Trinity members to join us. The requirements to join are simple: the ability to use a needle and thread and to tie knots.
Meetings are held twice a month from 9:30am-12:30pm the first and third Wednesdays of each month on the second floor of the Magnolia Street Building. Please contact Mary Lou Evanchyk at 407-491-4452 if you have questions or are interested in joining.
