Dear Friends,
We’ve had fun for the last few weeks during our DiscipleVision sermon series. We looked at different situations comedies to help us understand what 1st John tells us about how disciples of Jesus look and act. I invite you to join us for an evening of fun by attending our Situation Comedy Trivia Night in our Memorial Fellowship Hall on Wednesday November 19 at 6 PM. This will be a great opportunity for us to reconnect after the COVID pandemic.
I am also excited about our new sermon series Mission Critical starting on Sunday, May 30. We have discussed the virtues and character of Jesus’ disciples. Now in this new series, we will discuss our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. This sermon series deals with our purpose as a church. This sermon series is based on Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians. We will also look at the Apollo Space program to help us understand what Paul is telling us in his letter. Just as NASA was driven by the mission to land people on the moon and bring them home safely, so we are driven by the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

The NASA space program uses a mission-critical system to plan and account for every detail when sending an astronaut into space. This system is essential to the survival of any operations. If it fails, it creates the possibility of significant loss. In life, you are the astronaut, and the mission is not to make it to the moon but, more importantly, make disciples of Jesus Christ. We rely on God to control our Mission-Critical System, and God does not fail. From the space shuttle to Houston, God is essential to our survival. We rely on God, who has planned and accounted for every detail for us to complete our mission one small step at a time to make a giant leap in faith.
Join us May 30 through July 4 as we explore 2nd Corinthians and discover how we are to complete the steps of our mission of making disciples.

SENIOR SUNDAY RECOGNITION
There are a few moments that count as milestones in life, significant moments in a person's life that turns the page to a new chapter.
High School graduation is one of them.
This is a moment in students' lives that turns the corner as they chart their own course in life.
At Trinity, we want to celebrate this milestone in the life of students and families. We invite you to join us in celebrating and recognizing our graduating seniors to participate with us on Sunday, May 23, during our 9:45 a.m. Contemporary worship services as we recognize their accomplishments and pray over them as we send them out as missionaries into the world.
SURGE & PIZZA
On Sunday, May 30, we'll be heading to Surge Trampoline Park in Mary Esther to jump for an hour and then finish the night with some pizza. Students need to be at the church by 6:00 p.m., and we'll return by 9:00 p.m. Each student will need $20, a mask for the bus, and complete the online waiver on Surge's website at surgefun.com/locations/FtWalton.

In the early 1950s, Television introduced sitcoms to the world. Sitcoms or Situational comedies are a group or family thrown together to prevail in various circumstances, often reflecting real life. Through sitcoms, we see examples of the best people can be and the worst.
After Easter, our sermon series, "DiscipleVision," will walk through 1st John and the examples of a few of our favorite sitcoms to learn how a disciple looks and acts. We'll discover how we can apply these teaching in our lives.
Join us from home at 11:00 a.m. for a Traditional Worship on Facebook and YouTube.
Please note that the 8:30 a.m. service will not be live-streamed. The service will be recorded and posted on YouTube and Facebook at 11 a.m.
