THANK YOU AND FAREWELL
Trinity music groups would like to offer a special thanks and farewell to Kevin Mortensen, who shared his trumpet-playing this morning and for the children’s Christmas service.  He is leaving this area for a new job and we would also like to thank him for his faithful tenor singing in Trinity Choir and for often helping out with the Trinity Ringers when a substitute or extra players were needed.  We will miss him, but are happy for his new job opportunity.   We know he will be a blessing to any congregation, as he has been a great blessing to Trinity.  Judy Boehme

YOUTH MEAL ORDERS
Trinity youth will be making pre-made freezer meals for members of the congregation.  Anyone interested in these meals can place an order for them on Sunday, February 16 and Sunday, February 23.  The meals will be available for a “suggested donation price”.  Menu items include:  Cranberry Chicken, Lasagna, Tatertot Hotdish (or casserole, depending on where you are from!), and Enchiladas.  The meals will be available to pick up on March 2nd.  If you have questions, please see Sheldon Volkert.

PARKING LOT UPDATE
At the November voters meeting, a proposal was brought forward to refurbish the parking lot.  As you have probably noticed, the parking lot is in pretty sad shape.  It has been quite a while since it has been patched and can be difficult for some of us to walk across.  Since at that point we only had one bid and no concrete plan for paying for it, the proposal was postponed to the January meeting.  We solicited bids from an additional two companies and received one other bid.  (One company declined to bid on it.)  At the January meeting, we were told to find out the level of interest by the congregation and to get commitments from our members to cover the cost.  The bids we received were for $57,000 and $69,000, plus additional costs if we need to replace the sidewalk along the south side of the building to make it ADA compliant.  A form was handed out to the congregation on February second to determine your interest.  If you did not get a chance to fill out the survey, additional copies are available in the Narthex.  If people show an interest in moving forward, I will put together a group to begin asking for funds to proceed.  If you have any ques
tions, please talk to Ray Ozmun, Tony Schmidtke, or me.  Thank you, John Greenfield
