This last Sunday during worship, we made a bittersweet announcement.
While Trinity continues to listen to God’s call and mission for us during leadership transition, our staff are also listening to The Spirit and how She moves in their personal lives.
Our Director of Operations and Programming, Samantha Johnson, is listening to God’s nudge to return to the Midwest to be closer to family and friends. We serve a faithful God who not only will be blessing another community with Samantha, but who also has great plans for her, us, and our future.

MINISTRY TEAM FEATURE OF THE MONTH | |
Worship & Music
Member Spotlights: Adelie Tillman, Karla Balk, and Becky Albright
Adelie: "I like being able to express my faith through music and spending time with other musicians in my faith community. Plus I get to experiment with different instruments!"
Karla: "For myself, singing with the worship group has heightened my worship experience. I find that the music comes home with me after worship ends and my week begins. If our members hear the music, it resonates with them and some of it lingers inside, then I believe we’ve done well as a worship team. What joy it is to sing for our Lord and Savior and to share those notes and words with others!"
Becky: "I’ve been serving on Trinity’s worship team for about 20 years, and I can’t imagine not being a part of it. It’s so beautiful to hear and see our congregation raise voices of praise and worship together. Members of the worship team bring so much talent and experience, and they are so generous in sharing their gifts with the congregation but also with the rest of the team. I’ve learned so much from my fellow team members, and I love spending time with them rehearsing as well as leading. It’s such a blessing to get to serve while doing something I absolutely love! (Lots of talent and experience are not required to join!! The worship team helps us develop and gain confidence in our gifts)

It was a frigid, foggy Sunday, but that did not stop us from planting 50 trees in Trinity Community Park after worship last weekend! Our little Douglas Firs are along the walking path, property line and scattered around the park. We can't wait to watch them slowly grow and provide shade to our park space. Thank you to all who joined us! | | |
