VBS Follow-up Meeting A second organizational meeting for this summer's Vacation Bible School is scheduled for today, after church. This will be our opportunity to come to some decisions on what we will be doing and when. We should have all the information we need and plenty of ideas from which to work in order to develop our Vacation Bible School in the best manner. All are invited back and anyone else who is interested in being involved can join in too. We look forward to "getting the ball rolling" towards a Vacation Bible School program at Old Trinity this summer. We look forward to seeing you there.

Snow and Ice Removal at Trinity Your property committee has arranged for snow to be removed from sidewalks and the parking lot when accumulation exceeds two inches. We will try to spread salt within 24 hours of a snow or ice storm, but we must rely upon volunteers to do so. Please contact the church office if you are willing to be on-call for this task, or say, "Yes!" when asked to volunteer. Thank you!
