Mission Spotlight for October

Focus on Trinity's Home Missions

Trinity is very busy with outreach through many avenues during the month of October. At the start of the month there will be the seemingly largest Rummage Sale that many of us have ever seen. At least, the amount of work is surprisingly endless, and it feels very large. The return on investment is also very rewarding. Your help will always be appreciated.

A VBS Reunion is scheduled for October 12th and the children and teens, along with their families, are invited to return to Trinity for a review of Wonder Junction. We will share songs, a sermonette, food and games to encourage family participation with the children's Bible education. Joy and Kevin Ritchey are the coordinators of this reunion.

Shortly following the Reunion is the LifeWise Craft Show, and this event will be expanding from last year. The proceeds go to the monthly charge for having 152+ students attending LifeWise from Madison schools. Fundraising is a never-ending process. Your attendance and word-of-mouth advertising are important. Please take time to talk with your neighbors and friends.

The Tracts and Treats event will arrive quickly in the last week of the month. If you have never visited the neighborhood or the Pastor's driveway during this event, you ought to see it. Even better, ask to take part in it. We feel that it needs to be "the more, the merrier" on the streets around the church. It's really fun to see all the costumes that the kids come up with! Of course, we share the Gospel for our "treats" (along with hot dogs)!

Trinity Church will have their Charge Conference in the last week of the month also. We will be hosting Faith Global Church from Ashland Crestview and a representative from the Millersburg Circuit will be officiating. It is a fine time to meet our fellow Global Methodist church members and share stories and Christian greetings. Looks like this will occur near or on October 27th .

We will not be asking for monetary donations for October for any of these activities, but your attendance and participation/effort in set-up or tear-down would always be accepted. God asks us to be thankful for our blessings in these events by tithing our hearts, hands, soul and mind. Let your pocketbook take a little breather this month.

God Bless You All.
Deacon Stanley and Cathie Wertz
