June 2 was the first Sunday in our sermon series God’s Story, Our Story. Pastor Brian Keepers preached from Hebrews 11:1-7, exploring the power of stories to shape our lives, and the way in which God catches us up into His divine story by faith.

Announcements
Summer VBS: Registration for Trinity’s VBS “Roar!” is still open for children ages 4 years old (by June 1) through entering 6th grade in the fall of 2019. VBS dates are June 10-13 from 9-11:30am. Register kids for VBS or volunteer to serve HERE. We are also still in need of snacks for VBS. If you are able to provide snacks, please sign up HERE.
Habitat for Humanity Home: Miguel and Maria Vazquez and their children (who typically attend Trinity’s 2nd service) are the recipients of the new Habitat for Humanity home that will be built in Orange City this summer. Help us bless the Vazquez family! They are in need of 250 service hours from the community. If you (or a group) are willing to give a few hours of your time to help with work projects for the home, please sign up at the Welcome Center, or email trinityoc@gmail.com. After signing up, Miguel or Maria will reach out to you about finding a time that works in your schedule. You can also sign up to provide snacks and water. Additionally, there is still time to sponsor a $50 stud for the home; sign up for a stud by emailing kfranje@siouxlandhabitat.org. Please also prayerfully lift up the family and all those who will be working on the home in the coming months.
Women’s Walking Group: We meet in the church parking lot at 5:45am on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to walk around the golf course together. We only cancel if it’s raining. When school lets out for the summer we’ll discuss a later start time.
Lost and Found: The lost and found bins at Trinity are overflowing! We have all sorts of kids clothes, Bibles, coffee mugs, water bottles, hats, etc. We encourage you to stop in and see if something is yours. The lost and found bins are located in our main office, just past the front desks. (If you are missing a ring, please email trinityoc@gmail.com to identify it.)
100 Years of Trinity
Trinity’s 100th Anniversary: Save the date for a celebration on Sunday, July 14 as we recognize and celebrate all that God has done at Trinity in the last 100 years!
Trinity Story Wall: In celebration of Trinity’s 100th anniversary this summer, we are going to collect & share stories from the last 100 years of Trinity. We’re doing this through the Trinity Story Wall (located outside the sanctuary). We encourage you to share your stories and memories of how God has been at work through Trinity. It could be a memory of something as simple as green carpet. It might be an experience you had or a way in which your faith was formed. We invite you to visit the story wall, take a slip of paper, write your memories, and pin them on the wall for others to see. If you are unable to visit Trinity and pin your story or memory on the wall, please email trinityoc@gmail.com with your story and we’ll pin it for you. We all have a story to share. What’s yours?
Here are just a few of the stories, memories, and praises of thanksgiving that were pinned to the story wall on Sunday:
“Everyone is kind.”
“The Beard. Cary, Mississippi Trip 2015.”
“I recall Jon Opgenorth, fondly, saying at every baptism & profession of faith: ‘May there never be a day that this person will not love/honor/praise the name of Jesus’.”
“Thankful for the quiet, humble, behind-the-scenes members that pour hours after hours into making Trinity functional.”
“I am thankful for all the friends and supportive people here. They made me feel welcome.”
“Being at Trinity is really a blessing!”
“So many college students coming to Trinity and engaging in the life of the congregation.”
