SERVING HIGHLIGHT

In this season of gratefulness, we want to highlight the volunteers of
Trinity, many behind the scenes, that are passionate in helping accomplish our mission of connecting people with God, others, and the world.

This week, Trinity extends a sincere thank you to all who serve in our

kids ministry. Every Sunday needs two people and every Wednesday needs three people to carry out the Trinity Kids Discipleship programs. Thank you to Tommy Albers, Melissa List, Papito Joseph, Anna Evink, Tyler Simmelink, and Rebecca and Steve Bogaard for serving!



LIFE in the kingdom


The sermon series for this fall will be studying Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in the book of Matthew. There are various ways for you to engage in this series and connect with others looking for deeper growth in discipleship such as reading plans and book studies. Find them on our website here.
