A special thank you to Karen for your support to each of us and for leading everyone in the celebration of Dorothy’s life. We know Dorothy/Mom was with us in spirit.

COMING EVENTS

HOLY TRINITY PANTRY: As always, we appreciate your ongoing support of the pantry.  Right now we especially need laundry detergent, dish detergent, paper towels, and shampoo.  Thanks for all your past and continuing support!  No time to shop?  Give us some money and we’ll do it for you. (Wooden boxes for contributions are in the Narthex.)  Thanks, Geoff, Stephanie, and Judith

NEW DISHES ARE IN THE KITCHEN and you can help pay for them!  A stroke of inspiration and luck sent a parishioner to the Corelle outlet on a day of sales and generous coupon.  As a result we now have 120 soup bowls (to join the 30 or so we already have) and 86 dessert plates.  (Another 34 are on order).  We’ve frequently expressed a need for both, especially for community dinners.  The total so far was $358 which now sits on said parishioner’s credit card, and she would welcome help in retiring this debt quickly!  If you would like to help, please write a check or put money in the plate; either should be designated “for new kitchen dishes.” If Steve collects more than the total needed, we can use it for the rest of the dessert plates or to purchase additional dessert bowls for frozen or liquidy desserts.  (Or, if you specify in a note to Steve, your contribution can be returned to you; but please don’t wait to make a contribution to see if you are one of the lucky late ones – the credit card bill looms!)
