The Fall Stewardship Campaign is really a process for laying groundwork for 2019. As individuals involved in our respective faith walks, we consider the resources that have been entrusted to us and how we will be good stewards of those resources in the new year.
The Stewardship Committee encourages you to joyfully consider and celebrate all that is God’s work at Trinity. The Fall Stewardship Campaign will culminate with Commitment Sunday on November 4th, a time for each of us to consider how our Stewardship will enable Trinity to become a greater force for Christianity in our community.

Dear Friends,
The closing verses of Matthew’s Gospel, often called the “Great Commission” read as follows,
“
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Hoy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age
,” Mt. 28:19-20.
These parting words of our Lord Jesus Christ have served as marching orders for His church across the centuries. These verses offer us a clear, unequivocal scriptural basis for spreading the Good News about Jesus Christ and God’s promises of love and forgiveness for all of God’s children. Of course, we also know from Scripture that some people will heed the call of God and others will not, some are chosen and some are not.
However, and this is the really hard part, the response of others to the call of the Gospel is not our business, it is not our concern. Our concern is to make sure that everyone hears the Good News; their response is in their hands! As disciples of Jesus Christ our calling is to tell others about Jesus! We are called to tell the Good News of God’s love and forgiveness.
With this aspect of our discipleship fresh in our minds, when was the last time you invited someone to come to church with you? Was it this past week, last month, last year, can you even remember? Invitational evangelism is not optional for disciples of Jesus. In fact, it is woven deeply into our DNA as followers of Jesus. While invitational evangelism may be a “recessive gene” in some, and a “dominant gene” in others, Scripture calls each of us to engage in it.
Thinking about this question I am reminded of a story I came across a number of years ago. A congregation was holding its annual meeting (not a Presbyterian church mind you, but it could have been!) and there was a great deal of discussion about the congregation’s declining attendance. The congregation had brought in a consultant and he was speaking about attitudes in that denomination about evangelism. He quoted a statistic that said that, on average, a member of their denomination invited someone to worship just once every seven years. At this, a man sitting near the back exclaimed loudly, “Whew! I don’t have to do that for another 4 years!”
A question regularly asked by active church members goes something like this: How can we encourage more people to come to church? Of course, there is not an easy answer, but there are some clues. In research project after research project studying why people who don’t attend a church regularly start attending a church the same top reason emerges. It may not be the reason you think. Strong children’s programs are a factor in drawing attendance to churches, but it is not number one. A vibrant and engaging music program is a factor in attracting people to attend worship, but it is not number one. Charismatic and challenging preaching is a factor in drawing people, but it is not number one. Mission outreach to the surrounding community is a factor, but it is not number one. In study after study the number one reason people start attending a church is because someone cared enough to invite them! This information brings us right back to Mt. 28:19-20, it is up to each of us!
Our congregation has much to offer. We have strong and expanding programs for children and youth. We offer a distinctively Reformed style of worship in both traditional and more relaxed settings, each format strongly focused on the sovereignty of God, and the authority of Scripture. Moreover, our worship in both formats is supported by varied and accomplished musical offerings ranging from classical to more contemporary expressions of faith. We provide numerous opportunities for small group Bible study and fellowship time. Our commitment to mission work in our community and beyond is clear. So, the question is: When did you last invite someone to come discover the wonderful blessings God provides through our church family? Within the last 7 years?
I encourage us to remember Jesus’ command to share the Good News! I also encourage us to remember his promise of presence with us. If we are uncomfortable inviting others to church let us remember it is God who calls and builds His church, we are simply his instrument. When we trust God, God will lead us to say and do just the right things to reach one of his children.
Blessings,
Marc

“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience..
.
”
Colossians 3:12
It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday when a group of Trinity’s youth gathered on the Swamp Rabbit Trail to share some random acts of kindness. There were coolers filled with ice cold water bottles, a bundle of balloons (that insisted on getting tangled), and a bag of Skittles for the kiddos. We gave away over 120 bottles of water, and the reactions were amazing! Several people stopped to talk to us about what we were doing. A number of people offered to pay us or make a donation, and were surprised when we would not accept any money. We were repeatedly thanked—even by those who had their own water bottles. Over and over, we were called a blessing. One group of ladies even told us that we were a direct and immediate answer to their prayers! The children loved receiving balloons to tie to their bikes. The smiles were plentiful and only one person decided to be a prankster. Who would think that a simple bottle of water would create such a reaction! It became apparent that we were quenching thirst—not only literal thirst, but also the innate thirst for kindness and relationship with others. It only took a couple of hours for the youth to share God’s love with and brighten the day for over a hundred people.
If a bottle of water or a balloon tied to a bike can make such an impact, just think how we as a church can positively impact the world with a little intentional kindness and sharing of God’s love! How can you help be part of this mission? Visit our
Random Acts of Kindness
bulletin board downstairs between Rooms 202 and 203, select a card, share that kindness, and (if possible) take a picture and post it on the “Kindness is the New Cool” bulletin board near the Youth room. You will be blessed as much as the person with whom you share some kindness!
In Christ’s service,

Notes from the Director of Music Ministry
|
|
October is a busy month for the Trinity music ministry!
We have several exciting things to report for our 11am service. Our handbell choir resumed rehearsals in September and participated in worship September 30. Under Lisa Barksdale’s guidance, they continue to prepare more music to share with us in November and December. Our chancel and junior choirs are in full swing and will be performing an anthem together this month. We’ve had several new faces joining our choirs along with familiar faces in new roles. Mary Sue McClain and the kids have done a fantastic job recruiting additional friends and voices for our junior choir; we had three new guests the last Wednesday rehearsal in September alone! Two new Furman students and several high school students will be joining our chancel choir in October as well.
Our 9am service continues to develop as well. In addition to our regular band and crew, we have several high school students joining the teams as well. It’s an encouraging time to see the next generation enjoy utilizing their giftings in service to the Lord.
Looking ahead, our
All Music Advent Sunday will be December 2nd
this year. If you are interested in participating with the choir on this special day, please let Eric Barnhart or Lisa Barksdale know! Stay tuned for our announcement as to when we will begin rehearsing material for it.
Other dates of note coming up:
October 7 Ars Orandi
– an ecumenical gathering for contemplative worship and prayer led by Eric Barnhart
October 20 Greenville Chorale

Our memory verse for the month is Luke 12:15b: “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”

The Stewardship Committee would like to highlight the following testimony from Leslie Weikle and her family:
What Trinity Means to Me: Leslie Weikle
"Mom and Dad, Why is it taking us so long to join this church!!"
Thanks be to God for the messages sent to us through the children He has gifted us to raise! It's taken over a decade of living in this beautiful, northern end of Greenville county to relocate our family's church membership to where we actually live.
When visiting Trinity services, Scott and I both felt we were sort of back in a Furman Religion class, sharing how Dr. Mason's messages repeatedly touched our minds and hearts throughout the week. We sincerely enjoyed both styles of morning services - contemporary and traditional. We were fulfilled by music from the Trinity choir and instruments playing bluegrass to symphonic cello. While we considered other local churches, the Weikles were "all in" for Trinity!
Our oldest, Lillian, made her membership first through Confirmation classes with Dr. Mason. The younger girls and Scott patiently waited through my brain surgery recovery and, thankfully, Trinity's family of fellowship received us, prayed with us, and has included us richly.
Being a part of Trinity for only one year now, the environment is heartwarming and connects us to the churches where we were raised (even though mine was Southern Baptist). Amen.
God planned the physical creation of this church and its journey, just as He planned that of our personal family. We want to grow along with the journey and missions of Trinity, and praise God together through fellowship and stewardship.

With water balloons, a pool party (Thank you, Paula & Chris Marsh!), and a trip to Discovery Island where Chase showed us how to master the FlowRider, our “YWE Gets Wet” August was tons of fun! There is a rumor that next August, we will be tubing down a real river . . .
In what has become a Trinity Tradition, we then welcomed our new YWE members and kicked off the new year with an ice cream social at the home of Leslie and Scott Weikle. We had a huge number of youth attend, and I have never seen so many toppings!! Thank you, Leslie and Scott for hosting this event!
Our Sunday morning YWE Small Group will begin the year with a study of the Book of 1 John. Our regular Sunday evening YWE schedule will begin on September 9th, and we will continue using the current event based Living in Christ (LinC) curriculum.
