Trinity Invited to CCSD 59 Back to School Events this Weekend

Cindy Kiel, Jacki Bogolia, Ann Golding, and Sylvia Haas (not pictured)

Once again Trinity Church has been invited to participate in back-to-school events hosted by Community Consolidated School District 59.  We are excited to connect in-person with families, provide children’s activities, and share information about Trinity with our neighbors at John Jay Elementary on August 5 and Oasis Mobile Home Park on August 6th.

Last year Trinity was the only church represented at the Back to School Fair! It was hugely successful in terms of building awareness,  generating goodwill in the community, and moving us closer to meeting two of our Team 2020 goals:

  • Identify who is our neighbor and what they are looking for
  • Build bridges of relational connection with new people.

Show up with Trinity this weekend between 11am-1:30 pm!

May’s Mission Focus: The Night Ministry

This program was founded in 1976 through a collaboration of congregations to reach out at night to the homeless and vulnerable.  It has grown to provide services throughout the city in street outreach and youth housing programs.  That has included an overnight shelter, opened in 2011 for temporary housing for ages 18-24 in Lakeview.
