Thank you to everyone who has sent pictures to Jamie for the photography challenge each month. May is the last month to send pictures. The challenge for May is flowers! God provides beauty and color for all of us to enjoy! We hope you find the perfect pictures to share with others. Share a photo with Jamie either through a private Facebook message to her, her email, or text message at 515-460-3648.
Make sure you pick up the Trumpet in your church mailbox today! Pastor Russell ‘s article on church renewal is something we all need to read. We want Trinity to be a blessing to our community for years to come and we need your ideas. A Church Renewal Task Force is going to be created. Anyone can participate and will begin meeting May 31 and continue through June, right after fellowship time. We will go through the book “Anatomy of a Revived Church” and how those ideas can be implemented at Trinity. If you would like a book, please sign up on the bulletin board and we will provide one for you.
Thank You:
As we wrap up another wonderful year of middle and high school youth group, we want to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank those who have supported us along the way.
Tim & Denise – Thank you for faithfully preparing meals for us each week. We enjoyed them and appreciated the care you put into serving our group.
Allison Little Lambs – Thank you for loaning us your van for caroling and our movie night. It made it possible for us to be together, which means so much for these special events.
Colby & Wendy – Thank you for your donation toward our Rocky Mountain High trip through your Women of Worth events. Your support means so much to all of us.
Ken & Ruth – Thank you for your incredibly generous gift of fully covering the cost of our rental van for our Rocky Mountain High trip. We are beyond grateful for your kindness.
To our congregation – Thank you for continually showing up for our youth. Whether it’s supporting our Easter breakfast, visiting the coffee cart, or encouraging us in countless other ways, we feel your love and support.
With grateful hearts,
Troy, Kristol, James, Emma, Addi, Colby, Eden, Linde & Macy
