Hello Trinity Friends,
This Sunday, join us as we continue our journey through Lent with our “Songs that get us through the night” musical series. Chris Vega will share the Beatles’ “A Day in the Life” and Choir member Frances Huard will sing Carole King’s “You’ve got a Friend”. Our service begins at 10:30 am.
Lenten offering and Observer Envelopes are available from the Ushers.
