Federal regulations (HIPAA) regarding security and privacy of patients are now being implemented by hospitals which affect the notification of clergy when members are patients in the hospital. Unless you specifically tell the hospital that you wish your church or pastor to be notified, they will not let us know. Please let the hospital personnel know that you want your church or pastor notified, or ask a friend or family member to notify us. This is the only sure way for us to know that you are hospitalized.
Keeping You Informed: If you have recently moved, changed your phone number, your email address, or marital status please give your new info to the church office. Email is the quickest and most efficient way for us to keep you informed. If you have not given us your email address yet, please do so. Thank you.
LWML NEWS
Help the Iowa LWML get cash for your trash! Iowa Districts East and West will be the hosts for the LWML national convention to be held in Des Moines in 2015. The Iowa LWML has initiated an electronics recycling program to help defray costs for hosting the convention. See the poster on the portable bulletin board to learn about what types of printer cartridges and other electronics are being accepted. Recyclables may be placed in the bottom drawer of the built-in file cabinet in the Parish Nurse's office. (The drawer is clearly marked!) Thanks for your help and support.
Trinity Women’s Coffee - Minutes from December 18, 2011
Hostesses were Deanna McPherson and Rita Pedersen. Devotion was given by Cheryl Robson about Jesus and prayer.
Sue Rieder called the meeting to order. Minutes from the November 20, 2011 coffee were presented by Sue. Cheryl R. volunteered to take minutes. Treasurer Alana Curnyn’s written report included expenses for two high chairs for the Fellowship Hall, card ministry, Cathy Hammel Christmas gift, and gift for Autumn Berry for making our cookies for Perry Lutheran Home annual meeting. Deposits included a memorial from Virgie Olson’s family for funeral lunch and mites. Treasurer’s balance is just slightly less than $1,100.
Old Business:
Quilting: Pat B. shared the results of the Okoboji quilt auction. Additional plans for quilting were discussed.
3rd grade bibles – 20 have been ordered and have been received. Cost is $472. A sample bible was brought to the coffee so that those in attendance could examine one. Ellie Menz plans to work with the students’ parents to mark the bibles before they are presented.
Missionaries In Our Midst project is completed! Congratulations, Sue!
A note of acknowledgement and thanks was received from Erma Jurgensen for the “button” card and the $50 gift card from TLC. Virgie Olson’s funeral leaflet and a photocopy of the Christmas card for Cathy Hammel were shared.
We need to check with Alana regarding Adopt-a-student status.
Lois B. reported on Christmas decorating.
New Business:
Tabletop Christmas: Connie C. shared a photo of this year’s table. She reported that all went well. Suggestion for next year was made to announce at church that the Trinity Women have a table on display and congregation members are invited to stop by and look at the tables.
Poinsettias: Kathy M. reported that due to a miscommunication, Walker’s Greenhouse had not yet brought the plants. They will be here next weekend.
Christmas Eve plates – Cheryl R. has the notes on this from last year. Several people volunteered to bring cookies along to Christmas Eve service. We will put the plates together after the service and arrange for delivery then. Ten plates.
Christmas gifts for Trinity’s kitchen: we will need publicity for this if we are going to do it.
Jackie Souder project – we need to learn more about this in advance of possibly having Jackie come to a coffee, since time is limited. Can we get some literature about the program?
Greene County Box 4 Sox – collecting socks. Sue R. will check on putting this in the bulletin.
Rita P. shared that Reed P. is in Washington DC at the National Cathedral w/Wartburg Choir.
Sue will be working on revising the calling lists.
