Save the date! Trinity Fall Retreat: October 18-20
It is actually not too early to put this date on the calendar! Your October is probably wide open right now so make the fall retreat a must do! October 18-20th we will be at Massanetta Springs in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains (2-3 hours from Arlington). There's plenty to do, like outdoor games, board games, and Russ Scholls’ world famous obstacle course. Or kick back and enjoy quiet contemplation or a good book surrounded by the fall foliage. Whether you’re a long-time member or still getting acquainted, the fall retreat is the perfect way to get away while deepening ties within the Trinity community. Click here to sign up and learn more.
Send us your student’s address
Did you know that one of the many ministries here at Trinity is to support our college-age members while they are away at school? Just provide us with their information and they’ll receive cards and letters of encouragement. Send your student’s information—college and year (UVA-freshman for example), address and email—to Laura McDonald.
Food Sorting Event: September 21st
We are partnering with our neighboring Mormon church, to sponsor an AFAC (Arlington Food Assistance Center) food sorting event on Saturday, September 21, 9-11am. Sign ups coming soon in the enews and online. Family friendly for all ages!
What is food sorting? Basically, AFAC pulls up with a truckload - around 5,000 lbs. - of unsorted food. Tables are set up and volunteers unload and bag the produce (for example, onions and carrots) into smaller portions that are reloaded onto the truck and delivered to AFAC. This helps AFAC quickly process unsorted produce into individual/family size amounts.
If you can’t make it, plan on making a special effort to donate needed AFAC foods this month to our basket in the Narthex. Questions? Ask Natascha or see the enews
CROP Walk: Oct 12th
Mark your calendars for October 12th for the 50th anniversary of the CROP walk. You can sign up to walk with the team or sponsor one of the Trinity walkers. Our church has historically been one of the highest in participants and fund raising! CROP walk raises money and awareness for the food insecure. Questions? Contact Dan Campbell or look for the signup link in the enews.
Blood Drive and CPR class:September 29th
Trinity is partnering with First Presbyterian in Ballston for a blood drive on Sunday September 29th. Mark your calendars now! We will have sign ups for individual times in the enews and online by early September. The blood drive will run from 9:30am - 1:30pm on Sunday, September 29th. The health fair booths will be available from 9:30am-12:30pm, and the CPR class (RSVP to the Trinity office) will be held from about 12:30-1:30pm. So make plans before or after church to donate blood. It is within walking distance of the new Market Common in Balston so you can check out a new restaurant and make an afternoon of it! Click here to sign up and for more information. Questions? Email Natalie Foley at natalie.s.foley@gmail.com.
