TRINITY IN ACTION

When God speaks to us, do we take action? When He shows us a need, do we meet that need? When He lays something on our hearts what do we do?

We at TLC take ACTION. And we have had quite a bit of Trinity in Action the last month!

Sunday School distributed Easter bags to all the Sunday School children. We delivered a total of 42 goodie bags, one to each home except one. (Only because I couldn’t get in the gate.) Jennifer Wolfe filled the bags with candy, coloring books, pencils, the jellybean story and little toys. Delivery was made by Jennifer, Phil Boyd-Robertson and me.

We now have a Prayer Request Mailbox put in place by the Prayer Team. We are reaching out to our neighborhood to meet their needs. The mailbox is along the driveway and easily provides a drive up drop off for our neighbor’s prayer requests. A big thank you to Christine and Al Moran for getting the mailbox in place.

Sunday School sent out cards and flower seeds to all the Sunday School Moms on Mother’s Day. It was a nice little way to let them know we are thinking of them. Our plan is to send out a small item for the Sunday School Dads too. We will have to wait for our annual volleyball challenge until we can all meet again.

Next, we had our FREE ice cream for the neighborhood on May 2nd. Pastor Webb suggested this as a great way to let our neighbors know we were thinking of them. The Board of Social Ministry quickly took on the project and made it happen. We started with the ice cream truck at the apartment complex directly across the street and met lots of our neighbors. We then moved over into our parking lot and had drive-by ice cream. We also distributed cards with the ice cream that listed our live streaming services and our prayer request numbers. Thanks to the volunteers who came out and held signs, passed out cards and taste tested the ice cream.

Each Friday Jennifer Wolfe and I are feeding three small homeless camps a dinner meal for a total of 15 meals. On May 15th we started adding a bagged lunch for the next day. Ron Wolfe, Hearts of Compassion Helping Hands Ministry, delivers the meals and other items they need. He visits the camps located close to TLC almost every day and many of the group contact him on a regular basis.

On May 16th Sharon Grefski was our leader as we put together BBQ sandwiches and sides in the TLC kitchen. We put together 48 meals for one of the larger homeless camps. Sharon and Pastor Webb then met up with Georgette Jackson from Divine Rest and went into the camp and distributed the meal, plus toiletry bags and t-shirts. This was a humbling, exciting, educational, blessing for all involved. It will now become a quarterly program. Pictured below are the volunteers.

Sunday School is scheduled to pass out summer activity bags to Sunday School children and neighborhood children on May 30th from 10 a.m. until Noon. All they have to do is drive up and we will give them the bags which are filled 9 different crafts and fun things to do. They will also be receiving a brochure on TLC. Limited to the first 100. A big thanks to the volunteers who came out and helped put the bags together.

And last but not least, Sunday School is celebrating the beginning of summer, with another FREE ice cream day on June 20th from 2-4 p.m. It’s a drive-up ice cream giveaway so participants do not need to get out of their cars.

There is always something good happening at TLC. If you have some “action” to share, please send me a note and it will be added to our Trinity in Action page. Please keep these outreaches in your prayers and if you are interested in helping let us know.
