Trinity this week – June 4th, 2023

Hello Trinity Friends,
Please join us this Sunday for worship at 10:30 am. Some of the cast of our upcoming Mustard Seed play will share a musical number in church.  Next Sunday, Trinity will host participants from the Festival of Faith in our worship.  It will be an uplifting service with special guests and a Ukulele choir!
In Sunday School this week, the children will finish their rotation on Paul’s conversion with a cooking lesson (with this heat, thankfully it is a recipe that requires no cooking).
