| THE MARCH/APRIL MISSION OF THE MONTH IS . . .
. . . The Soccer Ball Project
From Sunday, March 21st through Sunday, April 11th, Church School classes will be raising money to buy special soccer balls that are not only be used by children in other countries to play soccer with but are also used to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
These soccer balls of “many colors” are also known as Energia soccer balls. In Spanish, “energia” means “power.”
It is through the variety of colors on each soccer ball, that God’s powerful message is shared with others.
During Church School Worship and at The Gathering on March 21st, Trinity member, Jane Galley, will be sharing more with us about the Energia soccer balls.
Stay tuned for more details!
