Council Highlights

Trinity United Church Council met on Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Highlights of the meeting follow:

Tuck point proposals received from Holton Brothers and Bobola. It is recommended by the Property Team to go with Bobola. The Tuck Point Fundraiser will continue.

David Owens/lawn maintenance company mowed over the electrical junction box for the outdoor lights on Grand Avenue. Dwain Turunen and Gene Sanderlin have replaced it with an underground junction box.

Grand Avenue metal railings need to be repaired. Wilson Railing will prepare a proposal that will enable use of the existing metal railings.

Council designates loose offerings to the CROP Hunger Walk during the months of September and October

The next Trinity United council meeting will be held Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00 PM in the Library/Conference Room. Members and guests are welcome to attend.

Share Your Gifts — New Ministry Teams
Trinity’s council has been working to focus and maximize our ministries by consolidating our existing Ministry Teams and Task Forces. That means
reducing from eight Ministry Teams (Communication, Worship and the Arts, Children and Family, Adult Spiritual formation, Justice and Advocacy, Financial, Property and Stewardship) and three task forces (Redevelopment, Diversity, and Trinity Partners) to five new ministry teams:
1) Resource (Property and Finance)
Joe Cole Allen Layburn Ed Nelson Jeanette Swanson Dwain Turunen Karen Varsek
2) Worship and Music
Sylvia Collinson Janet Elsbury Josh Langhoff Betty Nelson Bonnie Oldfield Terry Oldfield
3) Youth and Education
Lucynda Ben-Carew Vanessa DeLa Pena Mildred Jelovsek Carole Johnson Liga Minejevs Debbie Shaffer Sandy Sorensen Allison Stoneberg
4) Witness (Outreach and Inreach)
Bernard Ben-Carew Sr. Ken Endress Marilyn Hall Jan Heikkila Diana Knoble Gene Sanderlin
5) Cooperative ministry (with Sagrado Corazon)
Carol Fisher John Hansen Linda McCulloch Katie Szostak
Other task forces will be developed for short term, temporary projects. Here’s where you come in: as we reorganize, we need one year volunteers to reenergize and refocus these parts of our ministries.
Please consider sharing your gifts with one of these new teams, and contact Pastor Grudt or one of these council members so they know of your interest.

Day of Pentecost: Red as the color of fire is used on this day when we remember the tongues of fire descended on the crowd in Jerusalem. In contrast to the color of scarlet, Pentecost’s red is a bright color.
The Holy Trinity: White is appointed, the expression of joy in the mystery of the Triune God.
Other Sundays after Pentecost: Green is used, to indicate our growth in faith as we follow the teachings and ministry of Christ.
