From the Steeple to the Streets
Trinity is taking it to the streets! Did you know that each
Sunday
an average of 13,628 people gather in the Methodist churches in our region for the worship of God? Imagine what God could do if those same 13,628 people simultaneously and very intentionally took the opportunity to go and pray for, observe, and engage their communities. On April 8
, we get to find out with an event called "From the Steeple to the Streets." To learn more and to pledge your participation, click here.

This week's Mission Box is Rebuilding Together North Central Florida. Rebuilding is a home repair organization dedicated to addressing the substandard housing needs in North Central Florida. They strive to increase safety, security, and well-being for residents in need by providing a tangible place for the community members to get involved in rebuilding efforts. Repairs are completed through coordination efforts, community contributions, and sub-contracted services. Volunteers of all skill levels are trained to help meet significant housing requirements in the communities, giving them a firm foundation for a successful life. Let's see if Trinity can help rebuild North Central Florida together. (text 2 give keyword: rebuilding)
