A registration form must be submitted for all participants including adults. Individuals and families may participate on a week-to-week basis, but must reserve their spot for dinner no later than Monday at noon the week they intend to attend. Our first such deadline is Monday, Sept. 13 at noon to reserve a spot for Wednesday, Sept. 15.

There is still room for more participants in the Read the Bible in 90 Days program. Deadline is Sunday, Sept. 12 to allow time for the ordering of Bibles. If you wish to purchase the Bible in 90-Days Bible, the cost is $14.99.

We have a great group already, but always seek more. Please sign up … an organizing meeting will be held Sept. 25 at 10:00. The first day of reading is Sunday, Sept. 26 with your final day of reading Dec. 24.

Also, we are attempting to create a Children & Youth Directory that will include all children from birth to 12th Grade. This will also serve as a Sunday School registration form for those PreK-12th Grade.

All forms can be picked-up from the table located in the Welcome Room on your way to the Fellowship Hall. For additional information, please call Joe Pendal at 651.738.0045

Sunday, Sept. 12 is Rally Sunday, the day we kick-off our new Christian Education year. Join us for the inaugural Rotation Model Sunday School for PreK-6th Grade (9:00-9:50). Adult Education runs at the same time featuring a discussion on The Body of Christ-The Church. Confirmation Class members will join that adult class in the Fellowship Hall.

Following Worship (10:00-11:00), we will enjoy the fellowship and tastiness of a Church Family Potluck. Please note that the birth month of the eldest female in the household determines what to bring: Jan-Apr: Entrees; May-Aug: Salad; Sept-Dec: Dessert.

A FINAL NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO YOUTH SUNDAY SCHOOL ON THE 12th AS WE WANT ALL TO ENJOY THE POTLUCK.

Greetings, All! Monday morning at 9:00 we kick-off the 2010 VBS program, GALACTIC BLAST.

We have a great group of kids signed-up and a caring and creative bunch of adult and youth volunteers who will be helping out.

If you have not signed-up or registered, you can still do so tomorrow before and after Worship. Cost is $15 per child, $40 maximum per family. Checks made out to Trinity with memo notation VBS.

If you plan to register Monday morning allow extra time. No child, for whom we do not have a registration form, will be able to participate. We need that information for child safety purposes and contact information.

We are going to welcome a record number of kids to VBS this year, and it is truly going to be a BLAST!
