Feed my starving children benefit concert

Nearly 50 members of our congregation signed up to help pack food for the Lincoln-Way Area Mobile Pack Event held on August 9th and 10th at Lincoln-Way West High School.  In addition to packing meals, we also hosted a benefit concert at Trinity with all proceeds going to Feed My Starving Children.  That event included a 45-minute concert by Dan Bay & Pastor Hoag (with several sing-along songs enjoyed by the attendees), followed by a performance by Skiddles the Clown, and ending with an ice cream social, hosted by our own Social Ministry group.  This was a great success thanks to the efforts of a great many folks.  See below for more pictures from it.
