We also want to say thank you and are grateful to the teachers and & parents who have volunteered to teach/help in our classrooms. Global Barnyard: This year the Sunday school kids have chosen to use their offering money to help support God's Global Barnyard, we voted on helping to purchase a pig. Offerings are due back by December 1st. Christmas Program: We will begin practice for the Christmas program Nov 17th. We will be practicing each Sunday so it is very important that the kids are in Sunday school each week. Our Christmas program will be on Dec 8th during worship. We are counting on all the kids being there in order to make it a success!
Planning ahead… Christmas at Trinity is on Saturday, December 7th at 9:00 am! (less than 2 weeks away!) Lots to do and lots of help is needed, planning has begun. Watch for information in the mail. And start planning those projects, crafts and goodies!

Project Hope is a program which provides food for area families in need, every other week. The program is sponsored by the ACGC Ministerial Association with Kerri Hendrickson and Barb Hein as coordinators. You may be familiar with this program from seeing the backpacks of food going home with students every other Friday. This year, a major source of funding for Project Hope is no longer available, which has resulted in monthly expenses rising from $100 per month to $500 per month. Because of this, funds will run out in March of 2016.
To offset this increase, ACGC’s Project Hope is now a part of GiveMN. This is an organization that is an online hub for non-profit organiza-tions to raise funds. If you wish to contribute, you may do so by going to the following link and following the instructions regarding how to donate to
ACGC’s Project Hope: https://www.givemn.org/fundraiser/acgcs-project-hope56436d08e0c33 You may also contribute by writing a check to Trinity, with Project Hope on the memo line. Thank you for your support!
