SkyZone Trip– Friday May 3; 5:30-9:30pm. I have Elijah, Zay, Grace, Eowyn, Samantha, Mallory, Liz (Driving), Jonah, Abby, Timothy (with helper) joining me at Sky Zone in Eagan for a 90-minute jump time starting at 7:30. You can pay Lisa via Venmo, cash, or check (written out to Trinity). We will stop on the way for a fast food supper. I will pay for all youth age 18 and younger for supper and all needed drivers. All non-driver participants over 18 will need to purchase their own meal.
Rochester Servant Event (RSE): RSE will be from Sunday, June 9-Thursday, June 13. We are adding an extra night at the end to enjoy time with our hostess and spend some prayer/devotional/sharing time before heading home on Thursday morning. This is for youth who will be 11 and older by June 9. Information and Registration/Medical forms are attached to this email. Registration is due to me by May 5. After that you will need to register and pay RSE $40 on your own and pay Trinity $10 for the additional church expenses. An RSE meeting will be scheduled for some time in May when we know who will all be attending
Service Project at the Northfield Women’s Center on Sunday, May 19 from 5:30-7:00pm. This time was set by the Women’s Center and I will be out of town so adults are definitely needed to help. You will meet at the Women’s Center at 5:30 and help with cleaning, sorting, and organizing. If your parent(s) aren’t there to help, please have them pick you up from the Women’s Center as well. Since this is the time of their annual Diaper Drive – please consider bringing a pack of diapers for them. This is for all youth age 9-18.
Vacation Bible School 2024 – Camp Firelight – July 15-18, 2024. Go on an exciting journey where you will learn to trust God no matter what situation life brings. Know that God is with you and learn to feel confident in sharing the Good News of God’s Love through Jesus Christ. Youth and adults are needed -- sign up today at www.myvbs.org/trinitynorthfield/
Youth Mission Mile of Pennies: Every penny donated will get us closer to our goal. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Mission Teams Serving for Fellowship Hour: Our youth and adult Mission Trip participants are asked to come and help serve for Fellowship Hour on Sunday, June 9. Funds raised from this will help offset your out-of-pocket expenses for the Mission Trip (Rochester, Costa Rica, and/or Idaho). Please bring a dozen (or equivalent) treats to serve.
