2 Considering becoming a Trinity member? Whether you ve worshipped with us for a few weeks or a few years, we re glad to have you with us! Perhaps you re ready to learn more about us? Perhaps you re new to the Lutheran faith and have some questions? At Trinity, we are United and Empowered to Worship, Connect, Serve and our New Member course will highlight how we put that mission into action. This fall s classes will take place primarily during Sup & Study on Wednesdays in October, and members will be received on the weekend of November 3-4. Interested? Contact Kelly Falck, Director of Faith Formation, at kelly.falck@trinitycamphill.org. Or call the church office. Sunday, September 17, after late services: Celebrate our building loan payoff as we burn the Fulton Bank debt papers! Thank you for your offerings to our budget and to the Debt Retirement Fund, both of which were used to make the loan payments. Your continuing contributions to debt retirement will enable us to begin paying off our internal loan for the expenses of the much-needed steeple rehab. We re bringing VBS-style fun to Sunday mornings this fall. To do this, we need many warm and caring volunteers to sign up as CREW LEADERS. As a CREW LEADER, you ll be assigned a small group of children for whom you ll lead games, discussion, or crafts each week for about 15 minutes. All lesson plans and materials will be provided for you. CREW LEADERS age 14-adult are encouraged to join in!
