You should have received in the mail ballots for your use to elect our Deacons, Trustees and Pastor Advisory Council. It is important for you to participate in helping us choose our leadership for these important roles. Our Deacons are elected to serve as our congregational caregivers. Our Deacons’ primary purpose is to minister to the needs of our congregation. They contact our members and encourage them. They visit those in the hospital and those who are homebound. They also serve as an important voice giving our congregation direction. As you will see on your ballot, our Deacon nominees come from across the generations in our congregation. They are listed within the Sunday School Department where they attend or serve. Although there is no “quota” per Sunday School Department, I do urge you to consider voting for Deacons across the breadth of the church. Having Deacons from all Sunday School Departments helps our congregation-care structure and also gives voice to all of our members. In addition, you have the opportunity to elect Trustees. Our Trustees serve our congregation by attending to administrative, legal and financial concerns. As you consider our nominees, please consider who you believe would help our congregation make good decisions in regards to these matters.In addition, our Pastoral Advisory Council serves as advisors to the Senior Pastor. These members, along with our Deacon Chair, Trustee Chair, and Personnel Chair, are a sounding board for me and give good, mature counsel to me as I seek to be a servant leader of our congregation. Their insight and discernment is of utmost importance in our congregation.I hope you will prayerfully consider our nominees and participate in this time of choosing by returning your ballot by November 11. The ballot boxes are in the Narthex on Sundays and Wednesdays and in the office during the week.

Dedication Sunday: Nov. 11 Goal: 800 Shoeboxes
The TBC OCC Shoebox Lead Team is hard at work getting Shoeboxes put together and distributing them all over our campus. They make it easy for you to pick up a box to fill for a child. In each box is a brochure with instructions and a label for you to put on the box showing the gender and age of the child
you have purchased for and prayed over.
Please bring your filled Shoeboxes to the Narthex between now and Sunday morning, November 11th. That is the Sunday we will put all the donated Shoeboxes on the steps of the pulpit and have children come and pray
for the children receiving them.

Family Christmas Tree in the Fellowship HallThe Children’s Ministry is responsible for the Christmas tree in the Fellowship Hall. This is a special tree decorated with ornaments provided by you—the families of Trinity. All you have to do is find an ornament relating to the Nativity, write your family name on it with the current year –2018 and bring it
to the tree in the Fellowship Hall. If you cannot make it to the Fellowship Hall—bring it to the office and we will get it to the tree.
Become part of a wonderful Trinity tradition and bring a Family ornament for the tree!! The Tree will be up around Thanksgiving.
CHILDREN’S DAY
Children will be participating in all aspects of the morning worship services. If you are a grade school child that plays an instrument or has a special talent and you are willing to share with us in the service, please contact me. Also, begin to let us know if you would like to have a speaking part. We may not be able to use everyone but we would like to try to use you if possible. Mark the date!!!
