Trinity UCC seeks to care for, nurture, and empower its members to make an impact on the community in which we live.  The Sounds of the Heart ministry raises funds to purchase (and provide training for) automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools, the police station, and most recently, the Margaret Gray Senior Center.  In 2009 our annual Sounds of the Heart Concert raised more than $3,000 for the Jill Thompson Healthcare Scholarship!  Thanks to all of you who support us in our mission to provide this life-saving equipment and scholarships!

The Cancer Assistance Relief ministry (CAR) provides transportation for cancer patients to their chemo or radiation treatments in Kansas City.  Since 1987, CAR has helped more than 215 people and has traveled more than 600,000 miles!  If you would like to be an important part of another person's healing and recovery, please call Betty Weddle at 259-4688.  Volunteer CAR drivers transport patients living in the 64067 zip code and are reimbursed $25 for mileage. 

Thanks to the Layton family for organizing the CAR fundraiser at Pizza Hut on September 30th!  More than $1,000 was raised for CAR!

As part of an effort to reach out to people from all walks of life, Trinity UCC is hosting meetings for the Lexington Group of Alcoholics Anonymous.  Meetings take place in the fellowship hall on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.  All meetings are OPEN AA meetings.  If you think you might have a problem with alcohol, you are welcome here!

And remember that no matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome at Trinity United Church of Christ!
