Social Ministries/WELCA Christian Concerns  A big thank you for all your support of the Women’s Emergency Support Shelter. They need all that we can give them and appreciate it very much. Their needs are ongoing so if you would like to make a donation at any time you can leave it in the plastic tubs and we will deliver it for you. This summer we will collect socks and underwear for local school children. We will have another “Undie Sunday” on June 30th. Please bring a package or pair of new socks or underwear to church that day. They will be collected and given to the Salvation Army for their back to school distribution. Some will go to local schools for needy children. We will start collecting school supplies in July and continue through September. Anything you wish to contribute is greatly appreciated by the schools we support. Thank You Very Much, Social Ministries Gift for a Prisoner I am turning to you wonderful people here at Trinity for help. I had an inmate write me a letter asking if our church could help him out with some clothes and hygiene products. He is going to be released from prison Wednesday the 22nd. He will be staying at Faithful Servants House in Kelso. We had his two children at Christmas time with Angel Tree. Social Ministry gave us a donation toward some of the things we needed. However we are still in need of some help to cover the cost of what is needed for him to start his new beginning at Faithful Servants and getting a job. There will be a can for donations on the table in the narthex. Thank you for your help. -Mary Kennedy WELCA  Trinity Women’s Get Together Wednesday, June 19th 11:00am luncheon at Old Creekside Cafe.

We opened with reading our hymn for this year “Just As I Am”. Betty Cliffton read the minutes. Mildred Huffman our Treasurer gave a report. Committee Reports were given by Carol Hoehne, thanking everyone for Milky the Cow done in March. Noma Smyth reported on what social ministry had done and announced the quilt raffle winner. The quilters had made a quilt and raffled off tickets to benefit Trinity’s Shoebox Ministry which fills boxes every week for those entering our local Community House. The raffle was done on Palm Sunday and Cynthia Dall won the quilt. It was discussed about having only 2 instead of 4 Gather Meetings a year and suggested to talk it over at circle meetings in May, then vote on it at our Get Together Luncheon on June 19th. Grace read “Garden of Gethsemane” and “Easter Basket or Empty Tomb”. Bethany Circle served a chicken salad lunch.
