Special Mission Opportunities During Advent
In addition to our regularly occurring mission work at Trinity, we have opportunities to be in service in special ways this Advent.
Beginning on November 16, you will be able to take an ornament from our Oak Grove Elementary School advent tree. Students have been recommended by teachers working with Oak Grove's social worker and the Communities in Schools representative. After you pick your tag off the tree in the Welcome Center, you will provide three gifts for that student - a toy, a book, and an article of clothing. The tag for each angel will provide information about the student, including ages, sizes, and interests to help with shopping. Gifts should be wrapped separately and returned in a plastic bag tied shut with the tag attached to the bag. Gifts will be distributed to students before the winter holiday; they need to be returned no later than Sunday, December 14.
The Saturday Literacy Academy at Bellemeade Park is having a Holiday Party on Saturday, December 13 at 10:00am! You are invited to attend (a special invitation to any Trinity Students that may want to attend) and enjoy the festivities, including: photos with Santa, cookies, singing, and storytime. Beginning on November 16, you are invited to bring gently used or new books appropriate for children ages pre-k through fifth grade to donate for the children to pick out and take home. Books should be placed in Mission Central in bags labeled "Bellemeade Holiday Party" and delivered by Wednesday, December 10.
