 Good Morning Parents!
Makers Club begins this Friday!!! And there’s more. While your 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are hanging with me and Kathy Oakes, Fr Taylor would like a chance to get to know all of you! so let’s make an evening of it. Please let me know if your children will be joining me for pizza and making, and let me know if you will be joining Taylor for a small get together! Pumpkin Patch- Patch Set up Day is September 29th at 11 am. Please sign up to help cover shifts. The Calendar will be at the Patch Set up day and in the Welcome Foyer where you will have ample opportunity to commit to covering shifts. You can also sign up right through SignUpGenius. The link is: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4eadaa2aabff2-pumpkin1 Remember, this is the largest fundraiser of the year and we want to make sure that all of our students are able to go on Mission trips if they choose. Thank you for all your help with this patch and all of our Fundraising. Sunday School- Start talking with your children about volunteering at the pumpkin patch. Youth Group- Middle School Youth Group 11:30-1pm Senior High Youth Group 7-8:30 Mission Trip- The Mission Trip for Next Summer is going to be New York City with Center for Student Mission (CSM).

Like last time, we are going to be looking for at least three other adults to come on the trip. It would be extra helpful if those adults are willing to drive. We can have as many as 12 people on this trip, so talk with your kids and see if this is something they are interested in. Our Mission Trip potluck this year will be November 11th from 7-8:30.

Tariffville Fall Festival- We are looking for a number of volunteers to help make the Tariffville Fall Festival a huge Success. 9 am- we are looking for a couple people to help load up the trailer with chairs, tables, trash barrels, tents, etc. All the things we need for the Fall festival will be carted down and unloaded on the green before church. Once Church is over we are looking for another set of helpers to come and help set up all the tables and chairs. We will be setting up the grilling station, the seating area, face painting, and the bounce house waiting line. Additionally, we will need grillers and servers for the hot dogs, face painters, bounce house attendees, and potentially some volunteers to sell pizza slices from Marco’s. Sunday School- Start talking with your children about volunteering at the pumpkin patch. Youth Group- No Youth Group this week due to the Fall Festival. Students can volunteer if they are looking for hours for school or community groups. Mission Trip- The Mission Trip for Next Summer is going to be New York City with Center for Student Mission (CSM). We have gone on a trip with CSM in Boston back in 2016. Unfortunately, the CSM center in Boston has closed so we are going to go to NYC this year. The Trip Dates are August 6-10, 2019.

Sunday School- With Gratitude to God, I would like to let you all know that Josh Eichelberger and Kerys Salvaggio have agreed to join us as teachers for the Preschool Class. Thank God and thank you, Josh and Kerys, for committing to this lifechanging ministry. Last week we had our first Sunday School of the new school year. I would like to thank all of you for making church a priority for your families. I hope you enjoyed the backpack blessing and the time to surround our kids physically and prayerfully. Youth Group- MSYG- during Middle School Youth Group we had a chance to play with our huge God Ball. We also talked about the coming weeks, how they can help with the Tariffville Fall Festival, and the Social Etiquette theme we will continue this year. This week we will dive right into social etiquette in preparation for volunteering during the Tariffville Fall Festival. SHYG- We began with Dinner and Worship as a way to prepare ourselves for the week. We also talked about our Theme for the year which is, ‘be the light of Christ in the world’. We discussed potential events inline with our theme as well as the Mission Trip for next year. Mission Trip- The Mission Trip for Next Summer is going to be New York City with Center for Student Mission (CSM). We have gone on a trip with CSM in Boston back in 2016.

This year we have teamed up with the Tariffville Village Association and the Tariffville Farmer’s Market to make this a bigger community event! We will still be handing out hot dogs, painting faces, playing games, and jumping in the bounce house so we are going to need a couple volunteers! Consider signing up to help keep track of the bouncers in the bounce house or helping to cook and hand out the food. Sign up will be in the Welcome Foyer.

Peaches and Ice Cream Social- this Sunday the Men’s Ministry is hosting a Peaches and Ice Cream Social. Since we all love Ice Cream for Lunch head up to the parish hall after church for peaches and Ice Cream. Husbands and Fathers are encouraged to strike up a conversation with the men already in the Ministry while their kids enjoy some fresh peaches and delicious vanilla ice cream. Sunday School Teachers- We have been praying for you! Not only those teachers who have been with us for years but also the teachers who will be joining us for the first time this school year. We are looking specifically for two people who would be interested in joining the preschool Sunday School program. If God is tugging you in that direction, pray about it, and come talk to me. Again, we have been praying for you! If this is something you feel called to, let me know! Ice Cream Social- We would like to invite all High School and Middle School Students to an Ice Cream and Prayer Session Social on August 27th in the youth room at Trinity Church. It is going to be an open house type of evening from 4 until 6 pm. Come when you can; leave when you must. We will be eating Ice cream, socializing, and praying for the new School year. Let me know if you are coming and how many friends you want to bring by Sunday, Aug 26th. Labor Day Weekend at the Reservoir- John Nagy has had the brilliant idea of an afternoon canoeing and kayaking at the Barkhamsted Reservoir. It is going to be sometime over the Labor Day weekend. We are still nailing down details so keep an eye out for that. Safe Church Training- Don’t forget. Anyone who works with children or older adults, or even thinks they might in the future, should take Safe Church Training. This is not just about issues in our churches, this is about combating an aspect of our culture that many people do not want to acknowledge. If you would like to sign up for the safe church training at Trinity you must do so through Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/safe-church-training-recertification-for-laity-tariffville-tickets-47713230557?aff=eac2 As far as I know, they do not take walk in’s so make sure you sign up at least a week ahead of time. First Day of Sunday School/ Youth Groups- is September 9th. Please register your children ahead of time so I may help to prepare your Sunday School Teachers and Youth Leaders. There are Registration forms in the August and September Trinity Times as well as on the website: Sunday School or Youth Group Backpack Blessing- on the First Day of Sunday School all the kids should bring in their backpacks for a backpack Blessing! During the Children’s Sermon, instead of doing the redbox, we will take a minute to thank God for a safe and enjoyable summer and pray for the new school year.
