Pinewood Derby

Trinity United Methodist Church hosted the Cub Scout’s Pinewood Derby competition on Saturday, January 28. This event challenges Cub Scouts to take a block of wood, four wheels, and four nails and turn it into a gravity-powered race car.

This is the track, set up in Trinity’s Fellowship Hall,

Trinity entered its own vehicle in the competition, the TLC (Tender Loving Care) Special, named in honor of the monthly day of service where volunteers pitch in to keep the church tidy and clean.
