Mission & Outreach Corner CHRISTMAS IN ACTION Many, many thanks to everyone who helped repair the CIA house last Friday and Saturday. Thanks also to those who provided food and drinks. Your desire to assist someone in need truly was Christianity in Action. Special thanks to Robbie Shepard, Joe De Compiegne, and Deborah Chester for organizing the event. Your tireless efforts yielded great results. SALVATION SANDWICHES Thanks also to the folks who showed up last Saturday to make sandwiches for lunch at the Salvation Army. This is still a 6 month trial effort, and plenty of people show up for this 20 minute effort. The last scheduled date is May 19, but I am thinking of extending it. Remember, it is on the third Saturday of the month at 10:00 AM. TOOL TIME There have been no takers on this effort to provide some basic assistance around the home to older members, single moms, or others needing some help. Thus, I have decided to postpone this effort. Maybe it can materialize at some other point. I am very pleased with the turn out for CIA and the number of folks who make sandwiches once a month. At this point, it doesn’t seem the church is quite ready for the grand plans I had scheduled. So, I think in addition to the sandwiches, periodic events (seasonal efforts to help in the community) may be the thrust the council needs to take. Look for other opportunities. I still show up for meetings the 3rd Monday of the month in the parish hall at 5:30 and will continue to do so until my time on the council is over. Come if you wish to be on the council and wish to offer suggestions for more effective outreach. Patrick Collier, 685-0811

THE WATOTO CHILDREN’S CHOIR Since 1994 Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured internationally as ambassadors for Watoto Child Care Ministries, a holistic orphan care program based in Kampala, Uganda. "Concerts of Hope" inform people of Watoto’s vital work and afford audiences the opportunity to participate in restoring hope and dignity to some of Africa’s most needy children. The choir consists of eighteen boys and girls who have lost one or both of their parents, however, they now live in homes built by Watoto Child Care Ministries. On Wednesday, May 2, the children of Holy Trinity, youth and any others who would like to join us, will be going to a concert put on by the Watoto Children's Choir, sponsored by True Lite Christian Fellowship. We will meet at 6:30pm on the Holy Trinity Playground and caravan over to True Lite. Please email dedee@holytrinity.org, if you plan on attending. All Holy Trinity Children's programs will end at 6:30pm that evening so that everyone can go to the program. This promises to be a wonderful event and a great cultural experience for everyone, but especially the children. Please join us!

VOM News and Prayer Update: April 17, 2007"Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." (James 1:27)ETHIOPIA Bible Students Arrested; Church Leaders' Houses Raided - VOM Sources - On March 22, two Bible school students were imprisoned on the accusation of attempting to kill an imam. They were released one week later with after paying a fine. A court hearing was scheduled for April 2, 2007. BAMBASSE - April 2, the home of evangelist Tolosa Megersa was raided by local Muslims. Six of his cattle and sheep were killed. Five days later, the home of Full Gospel Church leader Lemmu Abdissa, was also raided. All of his property was destroyed, including 4,000 kilograms of grain. Thank God for the release of the two students. Pray those who have lost
property will be encouraged and rest in knowing they have "better and
lasting possessions." Hebrews 10: 34-37
Pray these believers will continue to meet despite losing their property. Ask God to encourage them and for the persecutors to know Christ's love, forgiveness and blessing through the testimony of these Christians. Romans 12:14, 21
