OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORSHIP & PRAYER

We hope you will join us this Sunday, May 11 - Pentecost - as we seek to worship and serve the Lord here at Trinity Pres. Church.  On this special Sunday, we will celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, and all the gifts and responsibilities it brings!  Among these gifts are certainly the Gifts of Women, which we will give particular thanks for on this special Mother's Day Sunday.  Indeed, the gifts of women will be what lead the entire serivce, as the women of Trinity offer their gifts of worship leadership throughout the service.  Elder Lynn Bush will offer the morning's message based upon Acts 2.  Come!  All are welcome!

OPPORTUNITIES FOR CARING & SERVICE

FISH (a local network of Family Promise's Interfaith Hospitality Network) - Trinity has recently covenanted to become a "host" church for the FISH (IHN) network, which seeks to help situationally homeless families find sustainable employment and housing.  What a blessing it is to be able to offer the gifts of our time and space to this powerful ministry (which has an 80% success rate)!  As such, 3-4 times a year Trinity will host up to 14 guests (all of whom are rigoursouly screened families with children or single women) for one week, providing shelter, food, and companionship during their stay.  Trinity's first week of hosting runs from March 18 - March 24.  Volunteers are needed in many capacities.  To learn more about FISH and IHN, please click here.  To explore how you can actively help to fight poverty and homelessness throughout Trinity's participation in FISH, please click here, or see Trinity's FISH coordinators, Debbie O'Halloran and Susan Kaczmarek.
