Dear Trinity family,
I'd like to put three things in front of you on this Thursday morning.
1. Please be in prayer for those adults and kids heading to Deep Freeze tomorrow evening. Pray for safety, for sleep to be multiplied for our adults so that four hours feel like 10, for community to be built among our youth group, and for the messages to be received and put into practice long after the weekend is over.
2. We are in need of people willing to serve as parking lot attendants. As our church continues to grow, the limitations of our lot remain. We have learned that with people directing the parking, we can fit far more than if we don't. I'm looking for a team of 12 that would mean 3 serve one Sunday a month. If we have more, we can space that out even farther, but I need 12. High schoolers are welcome, but I'd like at least 4 of those 12 to be adults. If you are still looking for a place to serve, and this sounds like it could work, let me know.
3. On our app, if you look at the bottom of the Home Screen, you will see the "Connect" button. Tap on that and you'll see at the top of the list "Caring Opportunities." Tap on that and you will see 3 meal trains that you can sign up for. Right now, there is an immediate need for the Kirkell family. Kim is one of our high schoolers and her mother is recovering from major surgery. The Shedds are also in need and if you can bring the food on Sunday, appropriately labeled, we can use our refrigerator downstairs to store it and get it into the appropriate hands.
I have noticed recently that on our various town Facebook pages (New London, Sutton, etc.) people are posting for help with grocery runs, pharmacy runs, and it reminded me of how much we need community. We were never designed to live this life on our own and thankfully, we don't have to. God gave us the local church so that we could provide the connection that we so desperately need in a world where life-altering changes show up without warning. God bless and thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus.
In Christ
