Accept the Challenge - Prayer in the Chapel
Two weeks ago, Catherine challenged you to be in prayer daily for Trinity and invited you to join her every Tuesday this summer from 5 - 6pm in the Chapel. This will be a time to sit together in silent prayer listening for God's direction and praying for our church. During that hour, you are welcome to come and go as you need and come any week you are able. Let's stick together and pray as we are "united in our devotion to prayer."

"An Unexpected Journey"
Sometimes life throws us a curve ball even when we think we have it all mapped out. Sometimes things just don't go the way we had planned. That's what happens again and again for the heroes of our faith in the Book of Genesis. For Noah, Abram, Jacob and Esau, and Joseph the journey is not always what they would have anticipated, yet through it all God seems to make a way. Join us for these summer Sundays (June 25 - August 6) to see what message God might have for you as you seek to make sense of your life's unexpected journey.

Serve this summer, June 11 - August 6, as an occasional Sunday morning 9:40 or 11am volunteer! Summer is a great time to get involved. Play a part in helping children grow in their faith. No experience or preparation needed - just be ready to have some fun! Email Brian

Month of Missions
Trinity is committed to making a difference in the world and you'll have the opportunity to help us do just that by participating in a "
Month of Missions." Each week from June 25 - August 6 we invite you to do something hands on for missions. We'll start with a food packaging event on June 25 at noon (along with lunch). This is a fun event for all ages filling bags with dried food to fight hunger in areas that are most in need. Don't worry, no special skills are needed!
The following six Sundays, you're invited each week to bring items to meet a specific need from men's flip flops to diapers to school supplies. If you missed it last week, you can still pick up your refrigerator magnet with the "Summer Sundays" reminder card listing the Mission Box, the Mission Donation/Focus and the Summer Sunday lunch menus. It's gonna be a great summer!
