Another great week at Trinity! We’ve had some really “feel good” moments
this week that I’d love to share with you.
First, our school is finally complete! We had about 110 Pre-School and Pre-K kids
come ready for their first days this past Monday and Tuesday. Like I said last
week, I love those first days of school.
It was such fun to watch most of them come with smiling faces and say
goodbye to their parents as they entered the classroom for what might have been
the first time for a lot of them. As
always, we had the reluctant kiddos, but just as we had assured the parents at
orientation, after 5 minutes, they were happy and smiling! I have to give kudos to our Early Childhood
team-Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Woodworth, Miss Frisch and Mrs. Freudenberg (also to
Miss Breneman and Mrs. Cymbal who are helping out)-they are so amazing at what
they do. They were able to help those
reluctant ones and turn those tears into smiles so effortlessly. What a safe environment they are providing
for our youngest Tigers. And, as I walk
into a classroom of 3 and 4 year old students and see them engaged and
organized-that is a feat unto itself.
Way to go! 
On Wednesday Trinity hosted its 4th produce
giveaway sponsored by Lutheran Social Services and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. Each month, the amount of families who have
benefited from the healthy food provided for them has grown. The need in Union County is great, and this
has been an amazing opportunity for Trinity to help those in need and spread a
little bit of God’s love at the same time.
This week our 6th grade students were able to spend most of their
morning volunteering at the giveaway. I
was so proud of our students. Each one
of them stepped into the role they felt comfortable with and did it with
amazing grace. Some of the students
bagged up produce and handed it out to those in line. Some of our students helped folks carry bags
and boxes as they went through the line in order to lessen the burden of the
load. Each one of the students was
respectful and represented Trinity just as any adult would have wanted them
to. I heard them saying “Have a great
day” and “God bless you” to each person they encountered. I believe each person in our community who
was helped that day with healthy food was also nurtured a little bit by the
kindness of our students and the love of God they shared. I’d like to thank Mrs. Wever for making it
possible for them to join in the event and for allowing the kids to have time
to discuss what a powerful thing it was for them to take part in morning. Each and every time I experience something like this with the kids, I get that overwhelming feeling that the Holy Spirit is moving within Trinity and my love for Trinity grows. I thank God that my children have the opportunity to go to school here and be immersed in the positive energy within our walls. I hope each of you feels the same way!
God bless you this Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the long weekend and enjoy some rest
and relaxation with your families! Go
Tigers!
