SCRIPT CARDS How often do you shop at Wal-Mart, Super Saver, JC Penney, Sears, or Bath & Body Works? Do you ever eat out at Applebee's, Burger King, or Wendy's?
These are just a few of the places that most people frequent on a regular basis. There are many more places that take SCRIP Cards which benefits Trinity Lutheran School! For a complete list stop by the SCRIP table at the times listed below.
• Scrip is a method of fundraising in which money is raised on regular everyday purchases. • Trinity Lutheran School benefits by receiving 2%-33% profit from the merchant on every dollar you purchase. • A ChristCare Group will be selling SCRIP Cards and taking orders the first weekend of each month. These will be sold after Saturday night service and on Sunday mornings from 9:00 – 9:15 and 10:15-10:45 in the east entryway of the church.

This has even been more evident during the last year as ChristCare ministry has grown and members have kept the mission statement in the forefront of their lives. I have seen members reaching out to those that are hurting, sharing smiles with those having a rough day, taking meals to those in need, welcoming other cultures, those with special needs, guest and new members into our church family. Christ Cared for everyone HE met! Thank you Trinity members for taking His example and doing the same. CHRISTCARE GROUPSDo you have the winter blahs, cabin fever, or just feel out of sorts? Trinity has a cure for all of the above. Join a ChristCare Group which are made up of caring Trinity members who study God's word, care for one another, pray together, and reach out to others. These groups meet at various times and places. The leaders of these groups would like to invite you to visit and get acquainted with other members who truly do care about you, your feelings, your joys and your sorrows.

The group meets twice a month. The adults have a topic while the children have supervised playtime. Then everyone joins together for snacks, games, etc. Topics vary as well as activities. Adults may meet by themselves sometimes for an evening out or for a longer time to spend on a topic. ______ TRINITY LWML PROJECT 12 BASKETS Project 12 baskets was here last November to receive donated items and put them on ebay with the proceeds going to Trinity Lutheran Church and School.
