What's Happening at Trinity

A different kind of Christmas:  Opportunities to give

12/3/2014

This Advent season we will consider how to have a different kind of Christmas by exploring the ways in which we can truly experience the joy of living and giving like Jesus. 

The challenge is this:  to scale back on the amount we spend on holiday gifts for family and friends; then, to match our giving to family and friends with our giving to those in need.

This year, Trinity has a particular focus on children in need and is providing three opportunities to give:


Jubilee Christmas - Saturday, December 13

Partnering with LUM, parents from 22 families will come to our church to “shop” for new toys for their children and enjoy refreshments. New toys and cash donations (clearly marked “Jubilee Christmas”) are needed to make Jubilee Christmas possible. Also, volunteers are needed to help organize the “store,” host families, provide transportation, and bake cookies for the party. Contact Kristi Evans (505-0210) or Susie Riley (414-3388) with any questions or to get involved!

Hat and mitten tree - throughout advent

We are putting up a bare Christmas tree in our sanctuary to collect children’s hats, gloves, and mittens to donate to Miller Elementary School and LUM Afterschool Program. Bring them  any Sunday throughout Advent or deliver them to the office during office hours, and we will watch our Hat and Mitten Tree become more and more festive! Questions? Contact Jen Gray (463-7029)

Bishop's Christmas offering -Christmas eve

On Christmas Eve we will collect for the Bishop’s Christmas Offering for Children, which provides for children in need in Indiana and around the world. The funds received through the Bishop’s Christmas offering will be allocated as
following:


· Indiana Conference Camping program will receive 20%;

· Indiana United Methodist-related children and youth homes will receive 30%;

· Indiana Conference-related Operation Classroom will receive 10%;

· Local outreach projects will receive 20%;

· Bishop’s fund for emergency children’s projects will receive 10%; and

· United Methodist Advance Projects (global and national) will receive 10%.
