Refugee and Displaced Persons News: People of Trinity, we need your help. We have two families in Trinity's community who need help for their displaced relatives fleeing Syria and persecution. Noor's family is in Lebanon and needs Trinity's support to survive. What we would love for people in our congregation to do is pledge $10 a month to the Refugee/Displaced persons fund so that we may directly send money to Noor's family as they await resettlement, hopefully to Canada. This pledge can be a one-time donation or a sporadic donation when you feel moved, or it can be a year-long pledge to add $2.50 to your weekly offering. Just make a note of it in your donation and the monies will go directly to help Noor, Baleegh, and Majda's families. Thank you!
Mission and Service News: Trinity Has sent $12,216.00 to Mission and Service in 2025!! We had set a goal of $10,000.00 for 2025 and have once again surpassed that goal!! Thank you to all the faithful and generous people who have supported Mission and Service and continue to do so. Our UCW stands out for special mention for their ongoing support. Thank you to all. Joy Galea, Mission and Service Enthusiast.
Thrift News: We are up by $.25 this week, bringing in $790.75. We cannot afford to ignore good news at times like these. A win is a win!
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice Singing through the bloody mist We’ll take our stand for this land And the stranger in our midst Here in our home they killed and roamed In the winter of ’26 We’ll remember the names of those who died On the streets of Minneapolis.
