Prayer Concerns:
We pray for our farmers and those working in agribusiness as spring field work and planting get underway. We pray for safety and patience on the roads and in the fields, and minimal machinery trouble as things get busy. We ask God to send just the right amount of sunshine and rain for a bountiful crop.
Please pray for those in our military as they serve our country at home and abroad.

Thank you to everyone who has sent pictures to Jamie for the photography challenge each month. The challenge has shown us how God is in our lives in so many different ways. 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. We will meet 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.
