SUPPORT OUR OPERATION INASMUCH COLLECTION PROJECT

April 14 was set aside by the S.C. Synod for the projects of Operation Inasmuch by Lutherans across the state. Holy Trinity joined in this endeavor and from all indications we had a very successful and meaningful day of ministry outreach. A full report will be printed later in the bulletin and Messenger. Thank you to all who helped make a difference in our community.

We will continue through May 27, donations of toiletry items to be placed in the Narthex. Our delegates to the 2018 SC WELCA Convention will deliver these items to the” Love One Another Campaign through Lutheran Services Carolinas”, a project supported by the convention.

Toiletry items needed: shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, razors, shaving cream, hairbrushes, and combs.

There is a box in the room off the Narthex for your donations.

YOUTH GATHERING UPDATE

As the weather starts to warm, we realize that summer and the National Youth Gathering is fast approaching. Due to the generosity of our church family, we have our airline tickets and down payment of our registration and hotel rooms paid for. At present, that leaves $3640.00 in our bank account with the following due: Registration completion ($2600.00, due by May 15th , the balance of the hotel rooms (due upon check out) $4914.00, for a total due of $7,514.00. This leaves us $3,874.00 left to raise. We will have one more event at which you can donate towards our cause. On the next 5th Sunday, April 29th, we will host a baked spaghetti plate sale after the combined worship service. We do ask for your support of these events. As always, any other donations would be greatly appreciated. This event is always a highlight for the youth and your generosity and support is a reflection of the love you have for our young people. Thanks again from all of the participants: Wyatt and Bowen Strang, Felder and Davis Fogle, Bree and Chase Plesko, Katie Fischer, Kathleen Dial, Krista Spoores, Max Roehrs, Pastor and Beth Fischer and Amy Goodson.
