Agape Table Meal
Trinity’s Agape Meal will be held on
Wednesday, October 8, at 5:30 PM in the social hall.
October’s menu will be ham pot pie, coleslaw, applesauce, and cake.
If we have any leftover ham pot pie, we will sell it for $5/quart.
Trinity’s Agape Table meal is always free. No offering is ever taken at the meal. Although registration is not required, signing up helps the Kitchen Committee better plan the amount of food to cook. You can sign up on the easel at the back of the sanctuary, or by calling the church office at (570) 682-9373.
Trinity Prayer Chain
Trinity has started up our prayer chain again using a text group.
Anyone can send a text to the group requesting prayer.

Operation Christmas Child
Trinity will again be participating in Operation Christmas Child. This program uses gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world.
Please drop off your boxes at the church overflow during
National Collection Week – November 17-23. On Sunday, November 23rd
we will have a blessing of the shoeboxes.
They will be taken to the drop off site later that day.
Please use a special Operation Christmas Child Box or a regular or plastic shoebox to pack your gifts and include a $10 donation to cover shipping expenses. The special boxes are available in the back of the sancturary. An information pamphlet containing instructions to pack a shoebox and boy/girl labels is also available on the display table. For more information about the program, ideas what to pack or not back in the shoe boxes, stories of shoebox recipients, google Operation Christmas Child.
