WELCOME BACK

On behalf of Trinity's faculty and pastoral staff, we would like to welcome you back for another year of learning. 


Our ministry theme for this year is Let's Go: Know, Grow and Sow. The Bible passage connected with this year's theme is Colossians 1:9-10.


We hope that you have a great year and we are so excited to be joining you on this journey.

WHAT'S NEW AT TRINITY

Trinity has many new faces on its staff, including Luke Beauchamp and Ashton Horn, who are our new full-time teachers.


Mr. Beauchamp is teaching middle school social studies, while Ms. Horn is teaching art and fifth grade.


We also have a new pastor. Pastor Nathan Grewe is serving as a part-time Associate Pastor, focusing on Family Ministry. Get to know Pastor Grewe in the provided video.


We also have several new upgrades to our playground, including a new Gaga ball pit. 

BUILDING INITIATIVE MOVES FORWARD

The reading of the vote was met with applause by the more than 100 people on hand on Sunday morning.


Trinity’s congregation unanimously voted to move forward with its Refresh, Restore, Repurpose building initiative.


Trinity now moves forward into a detailed design phase with the Aspen Group.


Stay tuned for more details regarding this exciting opportunity.

PTL MEETING SCHEDULED

The PTL (Parent/Teacher League) is all about building connectedness.


A few years ago, a shift in focus was made that moved the group from being a fund-raising operation to one focused on building relationships.


Each year the PTL, made up of Trinity parents, plans several activities for all to enjoy.


The goal is that we have enough willing parents participating that each person only needs to be directly involved in helping plan one event.


We would love to have you join us in this important task of building relationships and fun at Trinity.


So, please join us on August 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.


Together we can make this a fantastic year.
