FOOD PANTRY SUNDAY is Sunday, January 1st. Bring canned food or dry food items, or paper products, to put in the box in the foyer. You may also make a cash donation using the small brown pew envelopes. With unemployment and rising gas and food prices, the Food Pantry is a lifeline for many Hancock County families. Because of the current economic situation, many families are finding it difficult to take care of pets as well. Please consider donating cat and dog food as part of the pantry collection at this time. Thank you for all of your generous monthly contributions.
A New Year’s Eve Party at Trinity Park is set for 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 31st on the 2nd floor of the Ministry Center in the Youth Room. Bring a snack to share and your favorite soda! Enjoy games and have fun as you ring in 2012 with your church family!
An Epiphany for Christina, a benefit to offset her medical expenses, will be held on January 7th beginning at 5:00 p.m. The event will include a fish fry and a silent auction. Tickets for the fish fry are $12 per person for adults and $5 for children. Critically ill 5 year old Christina Kellermeier, the daughter of Bob & Lori Kellermeier, requires medical attention for a brain tumor provided at Riley Hospital for Children. Please help to offset the medical expenses incurred by her family. Your generosity and prayers are greatly appreciated.
We encourage you to join us in the sanctuary every first Sunday of the month, at 4:00 p.m. for the First@Four prayer service. If you cannot get out to church for the prayer time, please take the same time at home to pray. The next First@Four service will be on Sunday, January 8th due to the holiday on January 1st.

The prayer room, located at the north end of the education wing is open for use.

Recycling ~ At the Welcome Center, there is a box for recycling ink jet cartridges from printers made by Lexmark, Compaq, Canon and Hewlett-Packard. Please no Epson cartridges. Laser printer cartridges cannot be recycled here (please take them to your local office supply store). Trinity Park will receive a small compensation for each cartridge and the money will be used for mission projects. Aluminum cans may be recycled in Gibbs Hall. Proceeds from the collection helps support our youth group. Pop can tabs are collected for the Ronald McDonald House in a separate container. Bulletins, newsletters and other office paper may be recycled in the labeled wood bin in the coat area of the foyer. Information about additional recycling opportunities around Greenfield can be found at http://www.recyclehancockcounty.com/. Thanks for your support and being a good steward of God's resources.
