Local Outreach

In our Christian mission to serve people’s spiritual and human needs, Trinity reaches out into the community with the love of God through Jesus Christ.

• Christian Outreach of Lutherans
  
• Despite the huge amount of snow still on the ground at this writing, Spring IS just around the corner… or so I’m told! I know, because it’s time to talk about the Christian Outreach Of Lutherans (COOL) plant sale. Look for an announcement at church, and the order forms at the Welcome Desk early in March. These are wonderful first rate bedding annuals at competitive prices. As in the past, Judi Best and her husband will pick up your orders at Bethel church in Gurnee and bring them to Trinity for you on Mother’s Day, May 8.
• The economy rebound doesn’t seem to have come to Ingleside. COOL Pantry West served 900 individuals in January, up 154 from last year! We served 293 families 10,800 meals! So you see, your donations of food make a big difference. Visit the COOL website at www.coolministries.org for a list of foods needed.
• As always, if your service group, or employer, is looking to “give back,” consider sponsoring a food drive for COOL.
• A part-time position for coordinator of the Transitional Housing Program has been posted. For further information please call Diane Thackston, COOL Executive Director, at 847-662-1340.
