We are trying to see if there is enough interest in having a 2018 Pine Ridge Mission trip this September, 2018.  The following article was in the April 2018 Trinity Topics Newsletter.  Please complete the survey portion at the bottom of the article below.  If you would rather - you can email your survey responds to the church email at:  trinityuccwooster 1819@gmail.com. Please note that for church members, 1/3 of the mission trip cost can be covered by a grant from our Endowment Fund.
