Announcements
CARD SHOWER FOR KEEPERS
As we get ready to say goodbye to Pastor Brian as our pastor at Trinity, we invite you to write a note of blessing, encouragement, and/or of how you have been impacted by Pastor Brian during his time at Trinity. Drop these cards off at the church, and we will present these cards to Brian and Tammy on their last Sunday, April 26.
HELP THE FOOD PANTRY RESTOCK
The Orange City Food Pantry continues to grow in a variety of ways to have positive impact in our community. Through generous donations, it recently started offering additional refrigerated/frozen items, such as meat and eggs, but the demand for some of the long-standing staples continues to grow as well. One of most popular items is maseca, and Trinity has pledged to provide enough for more than 100 households (160-180 bags) per month. We need your help to restock the shelves once again. Please consider donating one, two or several bags (at $5 per bag) this week (4/12) or next week (4/19) in the lobby, through Venmo, or by dropping off a monetary donation in the church office.
NO HOSPERS SERVICE APRIL 26
Sunday, April 26th will be Pastor Brian’s last Sunday as Trinity’s lead pastor, and so we will NOT have any services on the Hospers campus, but invite you to join us on the Orange City campus (at 9:00 or 10:30) to worship together and hear Brian’s parting words to us as a church. Just a reminder, we will have an all church potluck following the 10:30 service.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Mark your calendars for this year’s VBS event: “Revved up for God!” happening on June 9-11 on the Orange City campus. This event is for kids entering Kindergarten through 5th grade in the 2026-2027 school year.
AV HELP NEEDED
We are looking to add more people to our Audio Visual Team. This team of volunteers helps provide quality sound, video, and recording to each of our Sunday morning services. We will provide training for you, so while previous experience is appreciated, none is necessary. If you are interested you can sign up online or talk with our Director of Worship, Meredith Hop.
