LEND A HAND TO FLOOD VICTIMS
Trinity is helping sheetrock a home in Hawarden damaged by the June flood. Dave Mars is managing the project and estimates we need 4-6 people for two nights to accomplish the project, potentially next Monday and Tuesday (Nov 25-26) evenings. Please contact Dave at 712-230-0176 to volunteer.
ADVENT DAILY DEVOTIONAL
This Advent, as we enter a season of waiting and expectation, we’ll be engaging the first two chapters of Mathew’s Gospel in a sermon series titled “Be Not Afraid.” These were the angel’s words to Joseph when he came and announced that Mary’s womb would cradle the Savior of the world (Matt. 1:20). Throughout Advent we will have stories from our congregation reflecting on this command to be not afraid, and we encourage you to sign up online to have this devotional delivered to your inbox each day as we journey towards Christmas.
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 33 people and every Wednesday needs 28 people to carry out Trinity Kids Discipleship programs.
