COOL Kids this Sunday, 3-5pm. Parent help needed.

Hello 3rd-5th grade parents,

I wanted to remind you all that Trinity COOL Kids will be this Sunday, Nov. 15th from 3-5pm. We will meet at the Trinity Youth Center, and then head out to do a little shopping for Operation Christmas Child. 

I would love to see everyone there. If you want a little information on what Operation Christmas Child is, check out this link

I do still need assistance from some adult helpers to make this happen. We are planning to go do some shopping, and I will need help with transportation and chaperoning. Please let me know if you are able to assist. 

Also, permission forms will be needed for all kids. You can bring one or fill one out when you arrive. They can be found online here.

 Thank you and see you soon!

2016 Youth Mission Trip Location Details!

Hello everyone!

I have some exciting new developments about the 2016 youth Mission Trip! After moving some dates and numbers, taking a vote and working out logistics, I am pleased to announce the final decision for the 2016 Youth Mission Trip. The 2016 mission trip will be going to 

Canonsburg, Pennsylvania!  

It is going to be an amazing trip and a ton of fun! I am really excited about it and I hope that you are too! Thank you all for bearing with me as we got this nailed down.

Last year we had 37 students and 9 leaders go on an amazing trip to Charlotte, NY. We had a blast as a group, worshiped in large group sessions, did some meaningful service projects and made some friends that will last a life time. Mission trips are a great time to build community with other people your age, strengthen your relationship with Jesus, do some great work in the community, and, of course, have a great time! If you want to hear more about the trip, just ask any of the 37 students who went last year! I would love for you to have this experience next year on our 2016 trip.

The Mission Trip will be 

July 9-16, 2016. 

Plan on those dates and put them in your calendar!

Right now, we have 36 spots reserved for Trinity students and another 9 for leaders. As soon as I have 36 sign ups, I will start a wait list and will try to get more spots for each additional person. The Mission Trip is open to any high school student who wants to go. The signups will be on a first come first serve basis so you should sign up soon! There are currently 12 students signed up, so there are only 24 spots left! If you want to lock down your spot, please send in a deposit of at least $50 to hold your spot. All checks should be made payable to Trinity Lutheran Church and please send your forms to the attention of Jordan Palladino, or put them in my box in the church office. 

Please let me know if you have any additional questions about the 2016 Mission Trip. I hope to see you there! For the rest of the Mission Trip team,

High School GENESIS Sign Ups!

Hello everyone!

I hope that you are having a good day today! I am having a great day because it is finally time to sign up for 

 

For those of you who weren't there last time or aren't aware, Genesis is an event for Sr. High students, where leaders and students can worship honestly and grow spiritually. Students will be given an opportunity to play and to serve, a chance to grow together as a group and connect with the other youth that have all converged on The Grand Traverse Resort from around the Great Lakes Region. It is filled with amazing music, great speakers, awesome games, powerful testimonies, great service projects and just plain fun! I really hope that all high school students consider going to this event!

Genesis normally costs $179. However, I think that this is a very important weekend and has the chance to be very powerful and transformation so I am offering it to Trinity members for $119. This includes all meals (minus trips there and back), transportation, room in the hotel, a t-shirt and an amazing experience. I think that this trip is totally worth it.

Please let me know if cost will be an issue and we can work something out! I refuse to let cost be a reason that someone doesn't go.
