YOUNG WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY
Mondays 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 pm. in the Kelso Library
Matthew: A 12-Week Study
The book of Matthew paints a powerful portrait of Jesus as Israel’s long-awaited Messiah, the one who would bring God’s kingdom to earth and fulfill his promises to his people.
Leading readers through this hope-filled book, this guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion—inviting us to encounter God’s one and only Son: Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:
- Ask thoughtful questions to spur discussion
- Show how each passage unveils the gospel
- Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
- Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
- Invite you to discover practical implications
- Help you better understand and apply God’s Word

Still Feeding and Serving 100 Students per Week
Our Wednesday night cook team has done a great job while Mike Ellis is on the mend. Theresa Reeves has really stepped up to the plate and spearheaded meal preparation most weeks and Ollive Shepherd has typed the recipes and put them in a notebook for easy reference to whomever the cooks may be. Buddy and Linda Fredrickson gifted us with 3 restaurant style drink dispensers that make us look professional.
Again, thank you to our Willie T’s Team for their commitment: Erik Dill, Buddy and Linda Fredrickson, David Hughes, Bill Kennard, Ollive Shepherd, and new volunteer JaLene Thatcher Khambu and her family.

PARKING LOT USE
Trinity is privileged to be permitted use of the fenced parking lot across the street for weekly services and, with approval, for our special events. However, by owner’s terms, cars must leave the lot soon after services, lunches, weddings and funerals or risk being locked in behind the fence. We certainly encourage use of the parking lot, but caution those planning lunch or other offsite activities to please park elsewhere after church sponsored events. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors with the new owners.
