We know many of you are already pouring your time and energy into VBS right now, so the timing of this request isn't lost on us. However, we want to give everyone as much notice as possible so we can avoid the program cancellations we faced last summer.Right now, our Sunday Children’s Ministry is short of the minimum number of volunteers required to stay open. To keep our programs running this sum...  Read More

This is a notification to follow up on Sunday's announcement from the pulpit that we will have a formal vote on a slate of elders and deacons at the end of the service on July 5th by members of Trinity.  The process of engaging these folks starts up to a year prior.  Leadership at Trinity is an important function that is taken very seriously by the elders (which includes our pastor) who serve as t...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,I'm writing this from the kitchen of the hospice center across the street from DH. I'm a bit of an exposed nerve right now and so that's how this might sound. I said when this began 3 years ago that I wouldn't hide my feelings from you. So, here we go.I have never known pain like this. I'm not the only one. I get that. The club I'm joining is large. I phrase it like that becaus...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,I've known that while the time for a note like this could be delayed, it wouldn't be forever. Unfortunately, that's just the nature of cancer, particularly in Bree's case.These past three years have been what feels to me like a war. There have been periods of intensity and of pause and while the past two months have been difficult, the past two days have been brutal. There's no...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,First and foremost, thank you to everyone who took part in and helped make our Lord's Supper Celebration Lunch a wonderful experience. It would be too much to do something like that once a month but I think we definitely can find a way to do it more often than just once a year.As a reminder, this Thursday, May 7th, is the national day of prayer. We encourage you to wear your "p...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,This Sunday, we will be celebrating the Lord's Supper together as the prelude to our potluck lunch roughly 15 minutes after the conclusion of our worship service. Why are we doing this? The Lord's supper was originally a meal in memory of what Jesus did for us. In many ways, it was patterned off of not just Passover, but also the peace offering as instituted in the book of Levi...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,Happy warm Wednesday to all who celebrate. Looks like we still get a couple of days before the weather reminds us of where we live.As promised in the subject, there are two quick items that I want to bring to your attention.1. Being that we are two months from Vacation Bible School (VBS), there is an Amazon Wishlist of items the team is in need of. If you'd like to help out and...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,I hope and pray that your Easter Sunday was a blessed one. Even though she's still feeling the side effects of her treatment, Bree's starting to gain some strength the further and further we get into this new medication and the further and further we get from her stay in the hospital. For this I praise God.The Sunday after Easter can sometimes feel like a little bit of a let do...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,This Sunday we get to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It isn't like we don't celebrate or praise and thank God for the empty tomb on other occasions or other days, but on Easter it means a little bit more, and I don't think you'll be shocked to hear me say (or read me write) that right now it means a little more than it usually does. On this Wedn...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,Not long after he became pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego in 1953, Rev. S.M. Lockridge preached an Easter meditation titled, "It's Friday, but Sunday's Coming." You can Google it and listen to the whole thing. It isn't long, around 3 minutes. I don't know anything about the context of it, where it fit into the church service, nor does anyone know the exact date on ...  Read More

Dear Trinity family,As the title says, I have a couple of things for you here on this Monday afternoon. One is trivial, the other is not. I'm sending it today because it's a little time sensitive.Trivial first.Most of you are familiar with "March Madness," which is another name for the NCAA Division 1 Basketball Tournament. For a few years now, we've had our own "TBC Bracket Challenge." Basically,...  Read More
