 MISSION OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me
Local Mission opportunities
something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in….” Matthew 25:35
The Mission of the Month for April 2018 is “The Gathering.” “The Gathering” is a time and
place in the Madison community, when people are invited to come and share a hot meal and
fellowship with one another. This ministry was started in October 2004, to reach out locally to
those in need. Churches, businesses, and organizations in the area have taken turns; since
then, serving our community.
The members of the congregation of Trinity have volunteered for several years now to
annually serve a meal at ”The Gathering.” In May, we will again be serving the meal in the Fel-
lowship Hall of the United Methodist Church in Madison. If you and/or your family are interest-
ed in serving, please stop by the office to sign up. Our meal will be catered by DSU Food Ser-
vices this year, so the time commitment is only 4pm to 7pm on Monday, May 14, 2018.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:36b, “. . . I was in prison and you visited me. . . and in

St. Dysmas

unto me.”

scheduled date for Trinity to attend the worship is May 31, 2018. If you are interested in attending the
worship opportunity, please contact Ann Marie Rossing (605)256-3851 or call the church office
