Local Mission Opportunities
Seed Collection
During February and March, the United Women in Faith is collecting vegetable seeds. Please place seed packages in the container in the Welcome Center.
Since 1972, Jackson Area Ministries Gardening Project has distributed vegetable seeds to persons and families. This ministry enables the growers to increase both the quantity and quality of their available food. The number of gardeners continues to increase in the 18-county area served in southeast Ohio.
In addition to seed potatoes and tomato plants, they collect and distribute beans (pole and bush), beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, lettuce, pumpkins, radishes, spinach, squash, turnips, watermelon - just about anything that is hardy in zone 6.
Eastside Dinner
Thursday, February 27th, 5:00-6:30pm
Come be a part of sharing the love of Jesus while serving the kids and families in our community. We will need volunteers to help prepare, serve, and/or clean-up. See Lesa Exman to volunteer.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
ANGEL WINGS PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Shawls … are symbolic of an inclusive, unconditionally loving God. They wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter, and beautify. Those who are received these shawls have been uplifted and affirmed, as if given wings to fly above their troubles.…
by Janet Severi Bristow, a founder of the Prayer Shawl Ministry, in 1998
The Prayer Shawl Ministry started at Central Trinity in 2008. Our name came from a recipient who made the comment that wearing the prayer shawl felt like being surrounded by angel wings.
Over the years we have given more than 630 shawls as well as baby blankets for Gifts for Angels and for service families stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany for the DAR, support shawls for Lifeline of Ohio, and hats and scarves for the Mitten Tree at Christmas.
The group meets Thursdays, September through June, 5:00 p.m., at the church. All are welcome for stitching, praying, and fellowship.

SOWER
SOWER (Sharing Our Witness Enriching Relationships)
Several members of Central Trinity volunteer each summer with the SOWER project. SOWER is an extension of the Henderson Settlement Work Camp Program whose mission is to enhance the lives of the people of southeastern Kentucky by improving their housing.
The counties served by Henderson Settlement are among the most impoverished in the nation, with more than one-third of the families living below the poverty line.
Volunteers spend a week at Henderson Settlement to repair existing homes or to build new homes for the families. The build schedule is planned from May through August, and each of the 6 weeks has a specific building focus. Volunteers from Central Trinity work with other persons and teams from around the West Ohio Conference.
For more information about SOWER, contact Ralph Brandon at sowervimproject@gmail.com.
