April 19 - Pastor Todd "Getting Out of the Boat = Mission"

Is there something- Someone- inside you who tells you there

is more to life than sitting in the boat? Using your gifts in service

to God is the chance of a lifetime! Pastor Todd will lead us in

discussion of mission. What is it? What does Jesus have to say

about mission?

April 26 - Kathy Chatelaine & Dave Wiebke "Getting Out of the Boat = Trinity's Mission"

Hope got Peter out of the boat. How can you help others find

hope? Perhaps a strong surge of compassion is how God will

indicate to you that he wants you to walk on the water. Our Trinity outreach teams share opportunities available to all "Water Walkers"!
