SUN BLOCK SUNDAY - JUNE 28 During this time of year the ultraviolet rays of the sun are at their strongest. Because of this, our life giving sun is also at it s most dangerous, and is the leading cause of cancer. This year 3.5 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in our country. One good way to help prevent more cases is to use sunblock. However, this simple task can be very challenging to a person who needs to consider food and a place to live first. This is where YOU can help! Sun Block Sunday will take place at Trinity on June 28th. On that day please bring as many tubes of sunblock as you can and place them in the special collection baskets. Your help could make a big difference in someone s life. st. mike s corner CAFE PICASSO THANKS YOU Thank you to Trinity parishioners who provided food for the April Sunday Brunch.
