The response from Trinity members to the ask for hard boiled eggs for our Loaves and Fishes deliveries has been phenomenal. Thank you for providing this very important source of protein to those living on the streets and to children in after school care. The nutrition component is essential and so is the statement of our church's concern and care for those in need. This outreach ministry embodies all that Jesus teaches. Please continue to support it by bringing your hard boiled eggs to church, marked with the date- and if you can add them- our people also love oranges!
