COUNCIL PRESIDENT UPDATE At the time that this article is being written, Cowlitz County has moved back to phase 2 regarding Covid19 restrictions. Since the church had been slowly opening up under the Phase 3 guidelines, we knew that going back to Phase 2 was a reasonable possibility. The impacts of having moved back to Phase 2 guidelines for church activity are minimal & we will continue to keep the congregation updated to any changes in schedule or impacts as new guidelines come out. While many of you have received or started your vaccinations, we want you to remain safe and feel comfortable with being out and what, if any indoor gatherings you participate in. We will continue to record Worship Services and make them available for viewing through our Facebook page. The Southwest Washington Synod Assembly will be held May 14 and 15. It will be a virtual meeting this year. Pastor Craig, Susan Dickey-Hafterson and I will be attending. Please pray for our church and church leadership as we gather, meet, and discuss the issues before the church and vote to elect leaders to our Synod Council and Committees. Please continue to check in on one another, pray for each other, stay safe and stay well. If you have any special needs or requests, have any questions or concerns, or are in in need of assistance or know of someone that does, please contact the church office or call me at 360-232-8186. ONLINE SERVICES All Lenten Services are available online (as well as all weekly Sunday services) by searching Trinity Lutheran Church Longview on Youtube or through Facebook.com/TrinityLutheranChurchLongview QUILTERS Quilters are happy to announce they’re starting back up again on May 17 th at 10AM. Join us! THANK YOU MILKY THE COW BUDDIES! “Thank you for your generous gift for the purpose of providing milk for our friends all through the month of March. We appreciate your care and love for the homeless who are working toward a better future, free from addiction.” In Gratitude, Community House SOCIAL MINISTRIES/WELCA CONCERNS We will continue to collect needs for the Women’s Shelter in May. If you wish to join this effort by donating items, there is a list on the bulletin board in the narthex. Throughout summer we will be gathering cash donations for school supplies. At the end of summer we will take our donation to Red Canoe who will match it. They will then purchase supplies and through the Link Program they will widely distribute school supplies to local children. If you would like to make a donation to these efforts please contact Noma Smyth or Carol Hoehne. If you make a donation through your offering please be sure to mark where you would like it to go. Thank you for your continued support. -Social Ministries _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______
