January Bulletin

 

Winter’s Promise

 

Trees so bare in winter are all that some folks see.

To me they are a promise of better things to be.

The buds forming on each twig are the promise of a leaf

That will in the summer heat bring a sweet relief.

The branches pointed skyward all seem to pray

To our God in Heaven for watchful care each day.

Yes, I love each bare tree.  To me they are so pleasin’,

Proving God omnipresent, controlling every season.

Thank You

Dear Apostolic Christian Church of Tremont,  I would like to send my gratitude & great appreciation for your “Gifts of Love” program.  This year I was able to see first-hand the generosity you give.  As you know, many families are experiencing hardships, so this is a great program.  Thank you so much for helping our students, families, & community.

Sincerely, Katie Willey, TGS Social Worker

 

Rescue Squad Need

Rules require the Tremont Rescue Squad to provide a driver & 2 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) with each call.  The squad’s main problem is finding volunteer EMT’s for the daytime shifts.  In past months, our governing body has allowed the squad to operate with one EMT.  This is happening an average of 8 times a month, as often as 18 times a month, & WILL NO LONGER BE PERMITTED AFTER JUNE 2010.  If the schedule cannot be filled on a regular basis, a tax referendum may have to be considered so that daytime EMTs can be hired.  The squad would prefer to remain all volunteer & believes the community of Tremont can work together to achieve this.  The next EMT class begins January 31st & the Rescue Squad board is waiving the tuition for this class.  Details about the class dates, location, & prerequisites can be found at http://rescue702.com.  Please contact Anne Zuercher with any questions & to sign up for the class.

 

Tremont Food Pantry

There is a need for volunteers at the Tremont Food Pantry.  Our church is in charge of the 2nd Monday of each month from 4:45-6:30 p.m.  Three people are needed each evening.  Please contact Becky Sauder at 241-7189 if you are willing to help.

 

FH Reservations

Starting at the beginning of the year, Sheri Allen will be in charge of FH Reservations.  You may contact her at 925-3155 if you have a reservation need.  Thanks!

 

Easter Program*
