Welcome to Trinity UMC Lenoir City Church
Trinity UMC Mission/Outreach Recap
Good Samaritan Thanksgiving Baskets
Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away and there are families in our community who will need assistance in providing that special meal for their family. We're lucky to have Good Samaritan to be that assistance, and we here at Trinity can join in too. Last year over 400 families were provided baskets full of supplies for a "thankful" meal. Trinity will be taking an offering on both Sunday, November 3rd and 10th. If you would like to be a part of this outreach a basket costs $25.00.
Please write "Thanksgiving Basket" on the memo line of your check or offering envelope. We Thank You!!
Offering for our Children/Young Adults of South Sudan:
Once again, as we shared our time of worship and fellowship with Rev. Fred and Libby Dearing, we were inspired, informed and enlightened. During our service, Rev. Fred took pictures of all those attending to send to our Children. They had asked for pictures so they could see just who they were praying for. Some years ago, a great number of us were part of a congregational picture that we then sent to the Children, and many of us continue to have our pictures from years ago of those Children we pray for daily. How blessed we are for this connection.
Well, Trinity you were also so very generous and our offering for the Children at this time was $715.00. Thank you for your faithfulness.
Hurricane Helene
On October 6th Trinity had an UMCOR Hurricane Helene offering for the purchase of UMCOR Cleaning Kits and Hygiene Kits. We raised $2,415. A quite remarkable response and always generous.
Then on October 13th Trinity took an offering to support our Holston Foundation relief effort specifically for financial assistance to those in need from Hurricane Helene. You raised $1,155 for that outreach. Thank you again and thank you for being part of an effort of restoring mercy and goodness to those who are suffering.
THANK YOU for Caring! Please go to our Giving page to make a donation.

Fred and Libby Dearing in Worship, Sunday, October 15th:
We're excited to welcome back Fred and Libby Dearing, Volunteers in Mission to the Republic of South Sudan, for worship and a fellowship meal following the service. Fred, a retired pastor in our Holston Confer- ence and a former District Superintendent will be in our pulpit. Libby, a retired nurse, who has been instrumental, or as many have called her the "heart" behind the development of the two orphanages, Grace Home and Greenland Home in South Sudan, will share a "Children's Moment for Mission" and then during our fellowship time she will bring us up to date on the lives of the Children, now really Young Adults. How fast they grow up.
This will be the seventh year Fred and Libby have worshiped with us, and our journey with them has been steadfast as the lives of the young men and women have changed and forever been impacted by the devastating on-going civ- il war, and their relocation to a refuge camp in Uganda. Many of you "adopted" a child or two or three many years ago and continue to lift them up in your prayers.

Lenoir City Schools Family Resource Center (FRC) - responding to the need
Trinity's mattress ministry is in partnership with Lenoir City Schools Family Resource Center. When FRC becomes aware of a need, schools personel interview and certify the need. We provide a mattress set and bedding (usually single bed) and deliver to the the family in need. This ministry is underwritten by grants provided from our Holston Conference Change 4 Children and our Holston Conference Foundation. We thank them both for giving Trinity the opportunity to participate in this very important ministry to our Lenoir City Schools’ children.
Beginning in October 2016, Trinity has now delivered 43 mattress/box springs sets with sheets.

Trinity continues to partner with Family Resource Center to provide Hygiene Kits for both boys and girls. These kits will be given to homeless children, children from displaced families, and as Susan Fox, Director of FRC, said earlier, “to those who have no opportunities for a toothbrush.” Their parents will also be able to use these items.
In order to maintain consistency in the size of the items and the products included, we are asking you to please make a donation toward these kits. The kits consist of approximately 20 items each, not travel size.
If this outreach is of interest to you, please write “Hygiene Kits” on the memo line of your check or offering envelope. And we say Thank You!!! Thank You!!
