Featured Project: Hope n' Love Blessing Bags
This October, our Faith in Action day will support the Hope n’ Love Project, a local ministry that provides Blessing Bags to widows and caregivers — reminding them they are loved, seen, and prayed for. In preparation for this project we are asking for names of widows or caregivers who would be encouraged by receiving one.
If you know a widow or caregiver who could use this beautiful reminder that they are seen and loved, please submit their name and contact details here or email Beth Youngberg at byoungberg@trinitycrete.org by Friday, September 25.
Helping Hands
Gutters need cleaning? Yards need to be raked? Got a small 30-minute job around the house you need help with? Helping Hands can assist! This year’s Faith in Action Day on Saturday, October 11, we will have our Helping Hands crew available to help with small jobs either inside or outside the house. If you find that you need a few extra hands to finish that one thing on your to do list or if you know of a neighbor in need of help, please register your job here or email Ed Youngberg at edward.youngberg@gmail.com by Saturday, September 26.
