The new “Christ in Our Home” – large print and regular print devotionals are available for you on the library table in the parish hall.  Please take for your home devotional use or share with a friend.  

Food Bank Needs – Food Stamps may not be used to purchase personal care items like hand or bath soap, toilet paper, tissues, or dish and laundry soap.  These items are needed for good health.  Over the next three months, please bring, as you are able, these items for the Food Bank Tub. 

Spirit of the Season…  Please remember the less fortunate in our special community by donating generously to the Point Roberts Food Bank. Although hunger knows no season, your donations are very appreciated by many. Our Food Bank “tub” is located to the left of the front door.  Please bring something to share.  Money may also be given to the food bank to purchase items they do not receive by donation.  Make checks to the Point Roberts Food Bank or Trinity Church and mark it for the food bank.

The Prayer List is updated monthly.  If you would like to add someone to the prayer list - please write their name in the notebook in the office.  Please ask their permission first.

Please hold the following people in your daily prayers: Pam & Peter Ingram, Gene Hofsted and family. 

Saturday, March 6, 2010 – 11AM Memorial Service for Gene Hofstedt, pot luck lunch to follow.  Ernie Loreen is working on this and any help is greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

Caring for God’s Creation   As you may know, February 14^th was  China’s Lunar Year of the Tiger.  This has helped inspire a global conservation effort to double the present number of 3200 wild tigers by 2022.  Tigers will top the WWF list of the 10 most important endangered species.  The population has been reduced by 95% as a result of hunting and poaching body parts used for traditional Asian medicines. 

No time to go out to a set-time Bible Study?  Try Bible study on-line at a time that works for you.  The ESCA website has a study that follows the weekly gospel lessons of the lectionary.  You can find it at http://www.elca.org/Growing-In-Faith/Discipleship.aspx The study is well written and takes a questions approach – asking you life questions, that cause you to wrestle with the text and relate it to your life today – give it a try!
