Groups will convene three or four times between May and summer’s end. Each group will comprise six to eight people, including singles, couples, and families. The Summer Food with Friends groups can gather in homes, restaurants, porches, parks, backyards, and even the beach for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner. Sign up by May 12 using the online form or the printed form. For more information, contact Susan Krutzsch at (916) 316-3407 or krutzsch.s@gmail.com.

Message from our Treasurer, Keith Cobell
"With a heart full of thanks I want to acknowledge God's unwavering provision and the incredible generosity of our Trinity community. First and foremost to God, whose gracious provision continues to bless us in amazing ways. Secondly, to the incredible Trinity community—your generosity has not only allowed us to meet our needs, but exceed them! After the first quarter (Jan-Mar) of 2024 we find ourselves with a surplus in pledges and total income, while keeping expenses on target. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our shared mission to be an impactful, connected community."
