We have a spiffy blue Trinity Center!
Thanks to a merry band of St. David's and neighbor volunteers, Trinity Center is freshly painted and beautiful. Saturday's Day of Service produced light blue walls and a sunny face to the room.
KVUE even came to the Center as part of a story about St. David's Day of Service. You can see the report, including a nice interview with one of our neighbors, here.
