May is Food Drive Month – Pick up Your Donation Bags Today Holy Trinity Church is the sponsor community for FOCUS Pittsburgh Emergency Food Pantry. During the month of May, you can participate in a meaningful way by remembering the less fortunate, who have basic nutritional and personal care needs every day. There are be specially-marked bags available after church today for everyone able to help, so that we can fill them, bring back and place them in the marked bins around the church. Together, we can replenish the shelves of the emergency food pantry, so no one is turned away empty-handed. Thank you for your generosity. Questions?

Construction Project Reminder: Visits Not Permitted on Worksite - REALLY! Things are progressing well with our new church project, but even though it looks like it's almost ready, it's not ready for us to visit yet! Our Building Committee and General Contractor once again remind us that it is an ACTIVE WORK SITE which is RESTRICTED to visitors. Though we are all excited to see the progress, PLEASE DO NOT ENTER the construction site at ANY period of the day or night (weekdays or weekends) or stop along Cumberland and Babcock to observe. There are many safety and liability issues that our contractor, Bridges & Company, has been asked to enforce and we must respect them. Our website will continue to be updated with photos and videos as construction progresses, so please check there for information and inside views. If you have any questions, please talk to Bill Fiedler or Jason Farmakis. Thank you for your understanding.

Keep Up With Final Construction Progress Online! Keep up with the last weeks of progress on the construction of the new Holy Trinity Church by visiting our website, www.HolyTrinityPgh.org. There are photos and also links to up-close walking tour videos with descriptions about construction progress and features of the new facilities. Videos are also available on Facebook at Facebook.com/holytrinitypgh and now on our Holy Trinity YouTube Channel at www.youtube.com/user/holytrinitypgh.

If you have any books out from the St. Spyridon Children`s Library, please return them bby the end of the month. The staff needs to begin packing up for the big move and would like to have all the materials back.
