Dear Trinity family,Now that we are fully into the Christmas season, there are some "housekeeping" items I'd like us to keep in mind especially since we are likely to experience an uptick in visitors this time of year. Parking - please remember, depending on when you arrive, to park either at the very end of a section or directly next to someone. Picking a random spot in the middle decreases the n...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. Within the history of the church across the globe, this has served as a time to prepare our hearts as we expectantly await the arrival of Christmas. But it's not about the lights or the music or the gifts (all of which I love).Advent means arrival and since the Father kept His promise with respect to the first coming of His Son, that's...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,With our Christmas Eve service right around the corner on (drum roll) Christmas Eve, I want to make sure that if you're signed up for one of our choirs, rehearsals begin on Saturday morning @ 9:00 @ the church. Also, we have two women's events on the schedule, Pouring Out Gratitude: a time to gather for coffee and reflection on November 21st from 9:00-10:30AM as well as Piece b...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,Greetings from New Hampshire! Nathanael and I returned last night. Bree will be back the day after tomorrow after she spends a couple of days with a friend from college in Boston. I wanted to remind everyone quickly about our events with our missionaries the Salzmans this weekend. There is a dinner on Friday night @ the Monroes from 6:00-9:00PM as well as a potluck after worshi...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,This morning I received an email from Jim Critchlow asking for how to find the directory and what the password was. That's not an uncommon question. The directory is available on the website (not the app) but it's not obvious where it is and that's to avoid what just happened. I sent Jim the information and later learned it wasn't Jim. It was a hack. Thus, this person went into...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,First and foremost, thank you so very much for how willingly everyone worked to park in such a way to make the most of the space we have. We really are right on that edge where week-to-week we could have enough spots on one Sunday and not enough on another. Just as a reminder, if yours is the first car in a section of the lot, we're asking you park at the very edge if you can, ...  Read More

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 a...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,First and foremost, praise God for the rain. While I don't enjoy the way it speeds up the end of fall foliage season, we've needed it so very much that I will not complain even as ants try to use our home as shelter from the storm.As we've transitioned over to this new platform for communicating, I want to make sure you know how the "prayer chain" now works. We have set up a gr...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,I wanted to put a keep several items in front of you on this first (sort of) cool day of October before we get back up to 80 again on Sunday.First, both adult Sunday school classes remain up and running. Discipleship 101's topic is "Improving Your Serve, Part 1" and our Your First Mission Field's class is the role of husbands. Last week's family class didn't look like anyone wa...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,I took this picture last winter, just after Christmas on a walk around my neighborhood. It's just a nice shot but it's also a reminder to me that winter is coming and I don't mind one bit. That's not because I enjoy the cold or shoveling snow. I just like that the seasons change. I used to dread August in Texas and September even more. It's supposed to cool down in September bu...  Read More
