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.

Transfiguration of Our Lord: White is used, as a reference to the purity of the newborn Christ, and to our light and joy in him. Ash Wednesday: Black is the preferred color, since it is the color of the ashes to which we will all return. Purple is the alternate color for this first day of Lent. Lent: Purple is indicated, as the stark color of repentance and solemnity.
