Together: For the Sake of the World
You may be familiar with the hymn refrain "I am the church. You are the church. We are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we're the church together." It's a reminder that the church is not the property or the building, but the people. And a particular people that exist for the sake of the world. Don't miss worship this summer as we dig deeper into the letter to the Ephesians. It's a powerful little book in the New Testament that calls the church to unity, identifies the gifts given to members, and challenges us to live as new people who bless, encourage, and minister to others.
This Sunday's sermon is "Time to Grow Up," by Rev. Steve Price.

Generosity Report
As we enter the second half of the 2018 fiscal year, Trinity would like to thank everyone who financially supports the ministries of the church. Your generosity is helping the church fulfill its mission of making disciples for the transformation of the world. At the end of June, the year-to-date income for the church is $1,359,296 and expenses are $1,413,889, representing a deficit of $54,593. While this is not unusual at this time of the summer, additional gifts between now and the end of August are welcomed and helpful in meeting ministry needs and obligations.
One of the ways your gifts are making a difference is in Trinity's ministries with 6th-12th grade youth. With the recent arrival of both Rebekah Saveland, Director of Youth Ministries, and Keven Braswell, Director of Sonlight, these are exciting and promising times. Check out this video from Rebekah and Keven sharing their enthusiasm for these ministries.
