COMMUNION RAIL OFFERING FOR OCTOBER
The offering for October is TUMC’S Backpack Blessings. Missions is excited to be able to start delivering breakfasts and lunches to students at W. S. Ryan who would be without these foods over the weekends. Missions is asking for your help in funding this endeavor during the month of October. We hope to start delivering food to Ryan on November 2. Thank you so much for truly helping feed these children. Food is delivered every Friday to the school, thanks to your generosity.

From Missions Chair Jean Peterson:
What does the number 126 have to do with TUMC?
That’s the largest amount of jars of peanut butter we have donated to the Denton Community Food Center ever!
Could we improve that number? YES!!!
If everyone just brought 1 jar of peanut butter during February, just imagine how much we could give! Please bring all the peanut butter jars you can by Sunday, March 1 so we can start this new decade in a huge way!!!
At our recent blood drive on Sunday, January 26, our church donated 57 units of blood!
We have never donated that much before, and even adding together our last 2 blood drives, we weren’t able to donate that much blood! This amazing amount of blood given is because of the generosity of those of you who could donate your blood. (Do you think Carter BloodCare will be asking for more blood from us since this was such a huge success sometime soon???).
Good Sunday Morning, Trinity Family!
The Communion Rail Offering for February 2 is for Our Daily Bread, which serves the homeless and at-risk in Denton. They will use our offering to provide breakfasts and lunches Monday – Saturday, give passes for showers and bus/train service, provide laundry vouchers, and help with job placement, just to name a few of their services. Our Daily Bread relies on donations to be able to assist others. Our church has helped support Our Daily Bread for many years.
The Missions‘ project for February is to donate jars of peanut butter to the Denton Community Food Center. Every family who comes to the Food Center is offered a jar of peanut butter, so peanut butter is constantly being sent home with the needy. Please help our church supply an abundant amount of this needed food!
We hope to see you this morning at church!
If you can’t be there in person, join us on YouTube for our 11AM LiveStream!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Many thanks for your donations for the Denton Wesley Foundation. TUMC donated 127 cans of soup, 77 canned meats, and a few other food items, for a total of 213 pounds. The DWF picked up our donations and were very pleased!
Now let’s double our donation of pounds of jars of peanut butter to the Denton Community Food Center this month!

BRING YOUR PEANUT BUTTER TO THE NARTHEX EACH SUNDAY IN FEBRUARY!
The Food Center is moving to a new and larger building February 3 on Loop 288 in Denton. They are expecting more clients and, therefore, hope to obtain more volunteers to serve, since the Food Center is completely manned by volunteers. The Center is open every weekday from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Several members of TUMC already volunteer there, and we hope more will join! Please call the Food Center at 940-382-0807 to find out more information, or to schedule a training.
Every Thursday evening, a group of volunteers pack bags for our Backpack Blessings recipients. This is a recent picture of the breakfasts and lunches our church gave to children at W.S. Ryan Elementary for a 3 day weekend. We can always use monetary donations to continue this endeavor!
