Join us for Worship at 10:00 am every Sunday

Trinity Lutheran Church has been asked to sponsor the ministry of our local shelters in the month of June through a contribution of general supplies. Requested items include:

• 55 gal. trash bags

• 13 gal. trash bags

• laundry detergent

• bleach

• toilet tissue

• napkins

• paper towels

• dish detergent

• 8 oz. foam cups

• 12 oz. foam bowls

• plates (dinner size)  

  This effort is in addition to our monthly collection of food.  Your assistance will help folks living in the various shelters that provide housing for many brothers and sisters who have no place else to call home – men, women, children. 

  With the loss of half the financial support that was expected from the City of Rocky mount, UCM has enough remaining funds to keep the McDonald Street shelter and soup kitchen open until August. The Bassett Center, which houses families with children, will close with months after the shelter. The Executive Director, Linda Brinson, and board of directors are looking diligently to find funding for this crucial ministry in our community.

  Your contributions of general supplies will allow some of the money UCM has to be applied to other needs to maintain services (food, utilities, rent, insurance, salaries, support services, etc.) The need is great in our community and monetary love offerings will also be accepted in support of UCM through the month of June.  If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Alice who asks that you please keep those served by UCM and the staff in your prayers.

We believe that

With God We Can!

Results of the 2022 With God We Can ministry: 

Through November, 2022, Trinity Lutheran Church has processed and provided a total of 1,339 quarts of fruits and vegetables to Peacemakers.   

It has been estimated that hundreds of pounds of garden-fresh fruits and vegetables were also delivered on Saturdays this past summer and fall to the Salvation Army and the United Community Ministries Soup Kitchen.   

The Soup Kitchen has also received delivery of many quart jars of the 2021 inventory of canned apples, peaches, pears, squash and tomatoes. 

The listing of the variety of produce received by Trinity Lutheran for its With God We Can & Freeze ministry includes apples, blackberries, butterbeans, cantaloupes, cherry tomatoes, collards, cucumbers, egg plants, field peas, green beans, greens, hot peppers, okra, pears, persimmons, pink-eyed peas, radishes, red peppers, red potatoes, sweet corn, sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, watermelons, yellow squash, and zucchini.’  Canned goods and loaves of fresh baked breads and breakfast rolls were also provided to With God We Can from the Farmers Market this season.

  When you total the produce that was processed by the volunteers for the With God We Can & Freeze ministry since it was launched 10-years ago the number so far is 10,569 quarts.

A sincere “Thank you” to the growers from the Farmers Market at Rocky Mount Mills and to all that helped process this food for those in need in our community.

United Community Ministries

And they asked, “Lord, when did we see You hungry or naked or sick or homeless and help You?” And Jesus said, “When you care for those who are seen by the world as unimportant and easy to ignore, you care for Me.” 

My loose translation of Matthew 25.
