The Cowboys are Coming!

Cowboy Poet Brooke Turner, from

Clarinda, IA will stop and share his poetry

with us during the January 28, 9:00 am

Brooke’s poetry is guaranteed to make

some people laugh, some people cry and

everyone think. He draws inspiration for

his poetry from all areas of his life.

Due to the flu & cold season, we will

“Dealing with Grief”

Have you lost a friend or loved one and trying to

cope with the loss? Join St. Croix Hospice

for a session on “Dealing with Grief”. This

session will be held at the New Hampton Nursing

and Rehab on January 25th at 3:00 pm. Everyone

is welcome to attend.

On February 20 at 7:00 the Trinity Book Club will meet at the home of Vi Sullivan to

discuss Bitter Sweet by LaVyrle Spencer. Maggie struggles with grief due to her husband's

death. Eric struggles with an unhappy marriage. Could these high school sweethearts

follow a dream from the past, or had they missed a chance of a lifetime?

Would you like to be a Greeter? Give Muriel Meyer a call at 394-4434,

if you would be able to greet before service on Sunday mornings.
