Dear Trinity family,
There are a few items I want to make sure you're aware of.
1. This Saturday, October 18th, is our Fall Church Work Day. It's a great time to be of service and help get our property ready for our Fall Fest on the 25th. The work day runs from about 8:00AM to 12:00PM. Bring a rake, bring some gloves, and enjoy what is looking like a very nice day.
2. As you may have noticed, there are both fewer seats and fewer parking spots available than there used to be. What a great problem to have! Please know that we are working to manage our space as best we can which includes more chairs and maybe some structural modifications to the space itself.
In the meantime...there are two ways you can help. The first is to sit as close to the front and middle of the sanctuary as you can. Just like Nehemiah needed people to volunteer to live in Jerusalem, we could use some folks to choose the first three rows, especially in the center section, in order to free up the back.
The second is a little more complicated as our parking lot has less space than our sanctuary and solutions are harder to come by. What I am asking is that if you are the first to arrive, park at an edge, either the very end or right next to an island (those parts that jut out from the side closest to 114.) Then, whoever comes next, please park next to that car and so on and so forth. Or, start a new section by parking at the edge of that section.
Since we don't have lane lines, when we park in the middle of a section or try and put multiple spaces between us and another car, we actually lose a spot here and there and right now spots are at a premium. (shameless plug - when you come to Sunday School at 9:00, you're practically guaranteed to have a spot :)).
If you're arrive when people typically arrive, just park immediately next to someone.
There is also some space (unofficially) at the south end of the lot where we cleared some trees last year. If you are able, and don't mind stepping first into the dirt/grass, we can put about 4 cars there. Like I said, we're working to alleviate this issue but doing so takes time.
3. Lastly, the following is from Cyndi Bailey...
We are SO blessed by the many volunteers who serve our TBC children. It has been such a blessing to see so many children in our Sunday School, Nursery, Kingdom Kids and Trailblazer programs! I have a couple of requests for those of you who are not currently serving in Children’s Ministry:
1. Please pray for the teachers, children and their parents. Raising up the next generation for Jesus is an awe-some responsibility and we covet your prayerful support.
2. After our church service each Sunday, you can be a huge help to our Trailblazers. Before chatting with someone, please ask if they are a Trailblazer coach. If they are, I humbly request that you allow them to quickly head to the front of the sanctuary first. We usually have about a dozen Trailblazers sitting on the platform waiting, so we need all our coaches on duty! The coaches will be done in under 10 minutes. I promise!! ?
For those who may still be searching for a way to participate in Children’s Ministry, here are a few areas where our teams are “thin”.
•Adults to serve in the Nursery (ages 0-3) during the worship service. We need 2 adults for each Sunday and we could really use 5 more adults to ensure about an 8 week rotation.
•Teachers for Kingdom Kids. This is our program for Age 4 thru Grade 2 that occurs during the sermon time. We have a curriculum to support you and we have a training program for anyone who is open to learning.
Contact Cyndi_bailey@comcast.net with any questions!
Thanks for reading! I so look forward to seeing you Sunday when we will start our study of the life of Samson, the first (extremely flawed) superhero in Judges 13.
