1 December 13, 2018 DECEMBER: A MONTH FOR GENEROSITY Consider a special year-end gift to Trinity! It has been a wonderful year, and there is much to be grateful for: our vibrant ministries of music, service, worship, children & families, justice & peace, faith formation, outreach and of course our new pastor! Trinity depends on strong December offerings will be a year of growth here at Trinity, and your gift now will help assure a strong start. Many give online (giving.trinitylutheranchurch.com), but we still pass the offering plate. No matter how or how much you give: THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

SOUTH SNOHOMISH COUNTY TOY SHOP Last Saturday the South Snohomish County Toy Shop, another Neighbors in Need Ministry, with the help from our partners at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Congregation, Edmonds Kiwanis, Trinity Lutheran Church & Schools, and Unity in Lynnwood Church, provided new toys collected by the Alderwood Terrace Rotary and the Everett Toys for Tots to almost 700 children from the Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace Food Banks. Thanks be to God! A special thanks to the teachers and staff of both Trinity Preschool and Child Development Center for providing space in their classrooms for this event to take place.
