Thank You & More
by Brad Banks on May 4th, 2026
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

May-ing
by Brad Banks on April 29th, 2026
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

April/May/June
by Brad Banks on April 9th, 2026
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

He is Risen
by Brad Banks on April 1st, 2026
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

Sunday's Coming
by Brad Banks on March 25th, 2026
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

A Couple of Things
by Brad Banks on March 16th, 2026
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

Dinner begins @ 5:30 and our first se... Read More

Springing (Unwillingly) Forward
by Brad Banks on March 7th, 2026
Dear Trinity family,My apologies that this is coming a little late. The days are a bit more involved right now.In our world of devices that update automatically, this feels slightly less urgent than it used to feel but we move our clocks forward tonight. 2:00AM becomes 3:00AM. I so much wish we didn't do this anymore, but we don't often get what we want.A couple of quick reminders:If you are still... Read More

Rubber Meets the Road
by Brad Banks on February 26th, 2026
Dear Trinity family,I'm going to be saying this more and more over the coming weeks but thank you for your prayers and all the little, and some not so little, ways that you've stood by our side during this difficult season. It's great that Bree is home. I'd always rather have her here than in the hospital.At the same time, we're in a tough place. She was able to receive the next round of her clini... Read More

In the Midst
by Brad Banks on February 18th, 2026
Dear Trinity family,Thank you so very much for all of your prayers over the past week. Today actually marks a week since Bree went into the hospital. Having several friends over the past few years who've been in a similar place with advanced cancer, it seems like hospital stays are a not uncommon part of the journey, but that doesn't make it any easier.Right now, she is recovering from a procedure...
