Alms Counters Needed

 

In order to comply with Diocesan policies and procedures, we have to change the way we count alms received on Sunday morning.  We need to recruit people who are willing and able to come to church on Mondays to count.  Two counters unrelated by marriage or family ties are needed each Monday.  Training will be provided.  We are looking for 8 to ten people total so that a once-per-month schedule can be developed.  This is a good ministry for retired persons.  If you are interested, please contact the church office at 601-544-5551.

If you are interested in helping Jody Burnett while he is in seminary, you can write a check to Trinity Church and put in the envelopes provided in the pews that has Jody’s name on it.  If you give cash, please indicate your name and address on the outside of the envelope. You do not have to put Jody’s name on the memo line of your check.  Just put it in the envelope with Jody’s name on it.  Contributions designated to specific individuals on your checks are not tax deductible. Jody would like to acknowledge your gifts, so we will provide him with names and addresses but not amounts.  If you have any questions, please feel free to call the church office.
