Thrivent Members: Act soon, before 2013 Choice Dollars expire!

Have you directed all of your 2013 designated Thrivent Choice Dollars®?  Eligible benefit members of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans have until March 31, 2014, to direct any remaining 2013 Choice Dollars. After that date, the unused Choice Dollars expire.  Choice Dollars are part of Thrivent Choice®. Through this Thrivent Financial charitable grant program, members can recommend where Thrivent Financial distributes part of its charitable grant funds each year.  Choice Dollars can be directed among thousands of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, including Trinity Downtown (church and school).

Chick Flicks - Dinner & a Movie

If you live near or don’t mind driving to Ocoee/Winter Garden, then join the women’s group of friends and Trinity family members who gather every third Friday for a movie, themed dinner, and Bible talk.  This month, on March 21, we will meet at Natalie Kaufmann’s home for a March Madness flick: Hoosiers.  The film’s theme is redemption, so timely for Lent, and stars Gene Hackman.  What you bring for pot-luck dining depends on your birthday season: Summer = Main Dish, Spring = Side dish, Winter = Dessert, and Fall = Drinks.  Contact Karen at 407-656-4202 or facebook page: Trinity Women of West Orange.

Looking for Purple LIPS

It’s not because you are cold or because you had a purple popsicle.  No, the purple LIPS of Trinity are every woman 18-40 - Ladies In Purple who Serve.  This is the younger side of Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML).  This group is currently designed to be a service giving group that will have fun in the fellowship and friendship that is bound to occur.  If you are single, single with children, married, or married with children you are part of this group and so very welcome.  There are no regular meetings or monetary obligations.  You simply get together 5-6 times a year for a few hours, work on a project, and have fun.

The next servantfest is in April, but when!?  That is YOUR decision.  When would you like to prepare and sell barbeque meals to raise funds for Redeeming Life Maternity Home?  This is a Lutheran maternity home for women who choose life, but have no home that welcomes them because of that decision.  Contact Jamie at lipsofeastorlando@gmail.com with an April date that works for you.

Orlando Lutheran Towers’ Chapel Concerts

If you enjoy organ music, please visit the Orlando Lutheran Towers Chapel on the 18th floor of 300 East Church Street each Sunday in Lent (March 9-April 13) at 4pm for to enjoy a musician perform on their organ.

Tuesday morning Bible study off-site

Thank you to Linda Short for connecting us with a wonderful place to locate our morning Bible class during the campus construction.  Insight Credit Union offices, located just 4 blocks from Trinity at 208 Hillcrest, is sharing a currently unused space that is perfect for our study, deep discussions and frequent outbursts of laughter.   We now  begin at 9:00 a.m. and finish no later than 10:30 a.m.  It’s OK to bring a cup of coffee along with your Bible.  Lots of parking and easy access.  Contact Deaconess Liz with questions or concerns: 407-488-1919 X 127 or eborth@trinitydowntown.org.

Food on the Fifth

It’s another month with 5 Sundays.  Trinity members and friends choose every fifth Sunday as a date to intentionally share some of God’s material gifts.  This month of March, we bring canned and boxed food items for the Orange County Public Schools homeless children.  It’s certainly okay to share food from your home pantry, but please MAKE SURE THE FOOD ISN’T EXPIRED!  Since Lake Eola Publix provides our collection grocery cart, we shamelessly encourage you to take advantage of the BYGO deals Publix offers.  One for you, one for a homeless or needy family.  Saturday evening worship service on March 29 and for all three worship services on March 30, the grocery cart will be in the Narthex.

That Crazy Thing Called Love!

Lutheran Counseling Services, Inc. is sponsoring a workshop for couples who have been married a while.  Marriage in the later years will be presented by Mary Jacob, Ed.D. and Mary Jo Hoard, LSCW Monday, March 24 beginning at 2:00 p.m.  This ninety minute session is a fun,interactive experience!  Treat yourself and your spouse to a time of reflection, gratitude and enjoyment of your relationship.  Cost is $5.00 per couple and includes light refreshments.  Call Lutheran Counseling Services to register by Wednesday, March 19 - 407-644-49692.

Serve Others With Grace

The LWML Orlando East Spring Zone Rally is Saturday, April 5, 2014.  Don’t miss out on a morning of Bible Study, Worship, and a terrific luncheon. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. with breakfast provided until 9:00 a.m.  By 1:30 you will finish a morning revitalized and connected with some of the busiest women in our area Lutheran churches.  St. Lukes Lutheran in Oviedo is hosting.  Contact Martha (407-425-2947) by March 28 to add your name to the list of Trinity women attending.

Taste of Compassion

Every Spring, Compassion Corner teams up with Central Care Mission to offer the best street party in Orlando.  Mark your calendars for Tuesday evening, April 8 beginning at 6:00 p.m.  The best chefs and restaurants in Orlando prepare their wonderful food concoctions just for you.  Tickets are on sale now.

Compassion Corner is a shared ministry of Trinity and other churches throughout the greater Orlando area, and this yummy taste event is it’s primary fund raiser.  Compassion Corner is a relationship building ministry, not a hand-out service agency.   Trinity is so blessed to have a facility that fills the need for a safe and welcoming respite center for the homeless men and women in our neighborhood.  Pastor Moore and Deaconess Liz regularly teach Bible classes and find the Word of God is hungrily digested.   Every day begins with Bible study and prayer, for only God’s Word can truly shine hope in the darkness.
