as our full-time Interim Pastor. A Trinity banner was purchased in memory of Beatrice Hindes by her family. 2011 is the year we celebrate our 2asth anniversary. In May, Bishop Kurt Kusserow presided at our worship service in commemoration of our anniversary. Another commemorative worship service is planned for October oth, with former Pastors in attendance. Over the years, we have participated in helping those in need. Some of our projects include supporting our missionary in Singapore, Pastor Jeffrey Truscott, ‘Giving Trees’ at Christmas and Easter, volunteering at the Helping Hands store in Rural Valley, participating in the Crop Walk, contributing to Operation Christmas Child, contributing to World Hunger (including “God’s Global Barnyard”), and many other projects through our Benevolence giving. Our Ice Cream Festivals have become an annual event since 2004. We give thanks for those who came before us who led us to this point, to our dedicated Pastors, Sunday School teachers, Council members, organist, sexton, Altar Guild, kitchen helpers, and all those who work tirelessly around the church with little or no recognition. We put our faith and trust in the Lord and pray that He will continue to bless us in the future. To gather with God’ people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer. - Martin Luther -19—
