Merry Christmas from Ethiopia (Laura Still)
[Card Front] Wishing you threads of happiness and colors of joy woven throughout the fabric of your life.
Dear Trinity,
This card just screams ‘Trinity’ to me. This Christmas-time I’m thinking of the whole Trinity family – sending everyone my love and lots of fuzzy warm hugs. Carrying in my heart everyone’s prayers and a vision of your smiling, laughing, singing faces. You are my roots, my role-models, my support, my inspiration. I am thankful to have such a wonderful, beautiful church family!
Love,
Laura Still

Christmas Elves Needed – Non-Elves Welcomed!
It is that time – all the beautiful Christmas decorations must come down.
If you are able to come to the church to help, please contact Amy at mail@tumc.org or 459-5835 ASAP. You can come by whenever you have a few moments to spare. The most urgent task is the Christmas tree, so we can get it to the curb for recycling.
Children’s Program Travels Around the World!
For the next 3 months, Trinity’s children will explore and experience lifestyles, languages and traditions of people around the world. We’ll identify common bonds and we celebrate diversity. Would you consider sharing a game, art project, recipe, and/or story from a culture near and dear to your heart? Contact Amy at mail@tumc.org.
