PLEASE KEEP SAVING!
Thank you for your love and  generosity!

Your gifts of 1,986 pounds of food in 2007 provided approximately
1,614 meals to our neighbors in our own local community.   
Trinity's tradition of bringing donations when we have communion will
continue.  So far 2008 you have given 462 pounds to provide
approximately 375 meals.  But, thousands of our Independence
neighbors go hungry everyday, so your donations are needed at any
time and they will be delivered to Community Services.  For your
convenience food barrels remain in the entrance room from the parking
lot.
PER CAPITA ASSESSMENT.   Trinity is again paying our assigned per capita
assessment in 2008 and asking members to donate their own $28.96 per active
member.  This will help to ease our budget.    
2008 Souper Bowl of Caring

Thanks to the Boy Scouts for their work in
making the 2008 Souper Bowl of Caring
meaningful.   And thanks to
you for your
generous sharing.

You gave $161.00 plus 229 pounds of  food
which will provide 187 meals for the
hungry of Independence.   The food and  
the cash has been donated to Communities
Services in Independence.   
 
                                `               Can Recycling
Thanks to Dave's hard, unending work recycling cans, he turned in
$635.17 in 2007 which is a donation to our Youth Group for their work
trip and other activities.   Be sure to continue to save your aluminum
cans and place them in the recycling bin by the paper recycling bin.
