Hello Trinity Friends!
This Sunday we invite you to continue your journey through Advent with us as we light the candle of peace. We also celebrate White Gift Sunday. The Sunday School children will collect your gifts for the Christmas Bag Outreach program and Food Shelf during worship. Your gifts will be given to teens and adults who are seeking peace and comfort from their hurts this Christmas.
Following the service, the JOY Band will be presenting their Christmas Concert
Come for 1pm and join in a carol sing-a-long! The concert begins at 1:30 pm. Admission is by free will offering with net proceeds to Trinity’s Monday Food Shelf.

In the busyness of the season, may you find time to reflect and pray for peace. Imagine what a world fully at peace might look like. Allow yourself to dream radically and boldly – Isaiah reminds us that this is what dreams of peace look like. What is your dream of peace for our world; for our community; for yourself?
