This is a reminder that Trinity recycles aluminum cans (drink cans only). The receptacles are located in the fenced area behind the Fellowship Hall kitchen.

Trinity Lutheran Academy Renovation Summary
Members from the Board of Governors and the Board of Church Properties met regularly to work on restoration and renovation of the Trinity Lutheran Academy building following the devastating water leak (flood) over Christmas.
The restoration is now complete and moving items back into the school has begun. Volunteers are still welcome to help out! Click Here to view the Volunteer Opportunities.
You can help pull us over the finish line by contributing what you can to help equip the classrooms with items lost in the flooded building. Although we salvaged as much as we could, the TLA needs to purchase essential items such as mattresses and bedding, furniture, books and toys, teaching tools and cleaning supplies. Just click on this donation page to make your donation. Thrivent will cover any credit card fees, so 100 percent of donations will go to TLA. You can also go to Trinity's website or place your donation in the collection plate, marked TLA. Feel free to share this link with friends and family!
Additionally, We are planning to run an online silent auction, proceeds to go to TLA. If you have goods or services you would like to donate to the auction, please contact Janet Rodekohr or the church office.
If you have any pictures of the school in its various stages of renovation, please send them to church@trinity-athens.org!
