This Week at Trinity
Women’s Ministry Christmas Event: Women (ages 10 and up) are invited to join us for our Christmas event, Stories of Elizabeth: The Blessing of Intergenerational Wisdom. We’ll gather together in the church fellowship hall on Saturday, December 14 from 9-11am. Brunch will be served, followed by a devotional, and then we’ll listen to stories from some of our own “Elizabeths.” The morning will end with optional cookie decorating, led by Kari Broadway. There is no cost to attend the brunch. Cookie decorating costs $6 for a half dozen or $12 for a dozen plain sugar cookies. (Frosting and sprinkles included with both options.) Sign up online or at the Welcome Center by the end of the day today (Dec. 9). If you have questions, please email Carrie Anderson at parisummer@hotmail.com.
Holiday Service Times: We will go to two Sunday morning worship services (9:30 / 10:50) on December 15, 22, and 29. We will resume our normal three worship service schedule (8:10 / 9:30 / 10:50) on January 5.
Hospers Campus Core Team: There will be an opportunity on Sunday, December 15 after the 10:50 service for you to come and hear from Campus Pastor Kurt Bush as well as the Transition Team on how you can be involved in the launch of the Trinity Hospers campus. We will meet together in the youth room and provide a soup lunch for everyone in attendance.
Contemplative Advent Worship: We hope you will join us for contemplative worship with communion throughout the season of Advent. Every Sunday at 4pm we’ll gather in the sanctuary to engage in a more intimate, reflective time of worship. We’ll engage the mystery of the incarnation, God with us, through liturgy, prayer, singing, scripture, and the Lord’s supper. We invite you to join us whenever you are available.
