Barb Glick will celebrate her 100th Birthday on Sunday, November 3, 2024. Barb became a member of Trinity in 1948 so she’s been a member of our church for 76 years. We would like to honor Barb with a card shower. We’re asking all members to bring a birthday card to the church or mail one to the church. It doesn’t have to be a “100th Birthday” card. Any birthday card will do. There is a table in Room 10 for cards to be collected. We are beginning to collect cards early in the hopes of collecting 100 cards to celebrate her 100th birthday. Barb’s daughter, Claudie Huey, will take the cards to Barb on her birthday.
Hot dogs, buns, chips, drinks and table service will be provided. Items to Bring: Any individually wrapped snacks or individually wrapped desserts, lawn chairs and wiener sticks. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board so we can plan on how much food to have on hand.
The 2024 flower chart is up on the bulletin board in the hallway by the 4th Street entrance. Simply sign your name by the date you wish to donate flowers. A form will be sent to you when your date is near. Dates are chosen on a first come first serve basis.
Trinity, Pekin, will host the Small Church Summit on Saturday, February 22, 2025. If there is inclement weather that day it will be moved to Saturday, March 1, 2025. More information will be available in the coming months. Please plan on attending! All are welcome!
We encourage you to use Good Shepherd's RaiseRight/Scrip program for all of your gift card needs. Whether for shopping or gifting, we have a wide variety of gift cards available. Each card you purchase at face value provides a benefit to Good Shepherd. Orders may be submitted to your Church's SCRIP table or to the School office. Any questions, please check with the school office or call or text Charlie Berndt at 309-642-1980.
There is a container on the chair in the back of the sanctuary for you to put your dollars in. Additional information regarding the Dollars for Missions Projects can be found on the district website at https://www.cidlcms.org/ministry-a-dollar-for-missions.html
