Trinity Trumpeter | April 26, 2024

Embracing the spirit of camaraderie and service, we recently participated in Military Family Appreciation Day, hosted by the Greater FWB Chamber of Commerce. This was a phenomenal opportunity to connect with and give back to our community. It was a heartwarming experience to engage with military families, offering support and gratitude for their sacrifices. This event not only strengthened our bonds within the community but also highlighted the importance of honoring those who serve our country selflessly.

We were able to provide information about our amazing ministries and all things happening at Trinity UMC, including our upcoming VBS in June. A HUGE thank you to all those who volunteered to help during the event:

• Charlie Davis
• Allison Godwin
• Cayden Tompkins
• Kiera & Donna Giovanini
• Georgene Martin
• Trinity, Savanna, & Auria Overturf
• Sandi Sears

We look forward to more opportunities like this to engage and meet people where they are!
