This Week at Trinity – January 8

Men’s Wild at Heart Book/Video Study: Men are invited to join their fellow Christian men for a lively discussion over the book WILD AT HEART by John Eldredge. The book explores your natural masculinity and how God incorporates it into His plans and purpose for your life. This weekly Bible study will start TODAY, January 8 from 6:30-7:30pm in Adult Room 1. This session will correspond with chapters 1 & 2 from the book. The Participant Guidebook and Wild at Heart book will be available at this session. Sign up HERE.

Youth Group & Lighthouse Kids will begin meeting again this Wednesday.

Becoming Better Readers Of The Bible: Join us on Sunday mornings at 9:30 to gain confidence in reading and meditating on God’s Word. We will meet in Adult Room 4.

Connecting Conversations: Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:45 to discuss the sermon and to take steps in applying it to your life. We will meet in Adult Room 1.

Trinity Life Groups: Life Groups are becoming an increasingly important way to more fully live into your faith, particularly with the size of Trinity Church.  Our hope is that a Life Group becomes a safe and intentional way to live into Christ’s call of discipleship that leads to a missional life.  Interested in joining a Life Group?  Attend a meeting in the fellowship hall (outside of the sanctuary) to learn more about this opportunity. Meetings will be offered:

  • Sunday, January 13 at 9:20am (after the first service)
  • Sunday, January 13 at 10:35am (after the second service)
  • Sunday, January 20 at 10:35am (after the second service)
  • Sunday, January 20 at 11:55am (after the third service)

Next Week

Wednesday Night Meal: Join us on January 16 from 5:45 to 6:30pm for our next Wednesday Night Meal. This meal is a joint venture between the meal team at Trinity and some of our Latino friends. Come to enjoy traditional Latino food and a time of fellowship. There is a suggested donation of $2 per person.

Sacred Marriage: Starting  January 16, join us on Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30 for a 7-week study on Gary Thomas’ book ‘Sacred Marriage’. Each night will include a short video by Gary Thomas with couple’s discussion and small/large group discussion. Couple’s discussion, prayer and short activities will be encouraged outside of the study. One participant guide will need to be purchased at a minimal cost. We also highly encourage you to purchase the book ‘Sacred Marriage’ as a companion book to the study. Childcare will be offered for children ages 0-4. Sign up HERE.

Dwelling In The Word: Starting January 16, join Pastor Brian and Prof. Jeff Barker in Adult Room 1 on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 as they share tips and practices to help you memorize Scripture. God’s Word has the power to change us from the inside out. Paul instructs us to “let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly!” (Col. 3:16)  This is why Scripture memory has long been a key practice for God’s people. There’s something about committing the Bible to memory that gets it deep in the heart and opens up fresh insight. Even if you think you can’t memorize, this class is for you! Sign up HERE.

Men’s Breakfast: Join us at Trinity on Saturday, January 19 at 8:30am to enjoy great fellowship and food, as well as to hear about opportunities available to connect and grow in 2019.
