ROCHESTER SERVANT EVENT (RSE)
RSE will be from Sunday, June 9 - Thursday, June 13. We are adding an extra night this year to enjoy time with our hostess and spend some prayer/devotional time before heading home on Thursday morning. This is for youth who will be 11 and older by June 9. Registration and Medical forms are available in the church office or see DCE Lisa Martinson. Registration is due to Lisa by May 5. After May 5 you will need to register and pay Rochester Servant Event $40 and pay Trinity $10 for transportation.
CAMERA TECH'S WANTED
DCE Lisa is looking for a few more people to help with our Worship livestream services. It is a pretty easy job, but very important. The only thing you really need to know is how to type (speed isn't an issue), how to make a few clicks on a computer, and how to turn and aim the cameras. There are a few people that can train you and when you are comfortable, we will add you to the schedule. Please contact DCE Lisa Martinson or the church office if interested.
