Bring Love to Incarcerated Moms this Mother’s Day

UWFaith Susanna Wesley Circle Invites You to Help Bring Love and Encouragement to Incarcerated Moms this Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, Trinity is partnering with Companions, Journeying Together, Inc. to provide hope and connection to incarcerated mothers in Illinois who are separated from their families. Companions has, for 35 years, been sending birthday and mother’s day cards, as well as providing blank cards for the imprisoned mothers to send to their families. Through our actions, we can remind these women that they are loved and not forgotten. Learn more about Companions, Journeying Together: https://cjtinc.org/projects.

March Mission Focus

United Methodist Commitee on Relief (UMCOR) 

Mission envelopes in the pews have the option to select UMCOR, our focus for March, as UMCOR Sunday is 3/30. Our offering underwrites UMCOR’s administrative costs, allowing UMCOR to use 100% of all funds given to humanitarian response and recovery efforts directly to communities in need. These gifts ensure UMCOR can respond swiftly to disasters around the world, and as a source of hope and healing for those left most vulnerable.

PADS: Feeding The Unhoused

Trinity continues to pack meals for Journey’s PADS guests. The next packing / delivery date is March 14th. Sign up if you are interested in volunteering, whether it’s preparing food for 25 people, packing and/or delivering.
