ANNOUNCEMENTS:
- It is NOT too late! The Kansans for Life Baby Bottle Project ran from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day. Please return baby bottles and donations to Trinity, even if the bottles are partially filled. Proceeds support pro-life educational efforts of Kansans for Life and selected pregnancy resource centers in our state.
- Last Chance For Pictures! If you or your family missed having your photo taken for the Trinity directory by Allen Herbert, please come have your picture taken before the Divine Service or after Bible class on July 14th. There will not be a sign-up: just come and smile!
- Donations needed! Several members of Trinity volunteer the first Tuesday of each month at the South Lord’s Diner on Hillside where volunteers serve a free meal to about 200 guests nightly. With the help of a Thrivent grant, volunteers are planning to buy personal hygiene products to give to dining guests on August 6th. School will begin the following week in Wichita and so donations of shampoo, toothpaste, deodorants, soaps and other items will help families as well as other guests who spend a lot of time outdoors in the heat. Donations would be appreciated and can be left in the narthex the next three Sundays (July 14, 21 and 28).
- Free Magazines Please take a look at all the magazines that are being given away on the stage in the Fellowship Hall. Titles include Lutheran Witness, Good News, Gottesdienst, Concordia Theological Quarterly, and Smithsonian. Feel free to take what interests you. Magazines not taken will be shared with other congregations or recycled.
