CELEBRATION SUNDAY & POTLUCK

THIS SUNDAY

CONGREGATIONAL INFORMATION MEETING

TRINITY'S COFFEE HOUSE

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 17, 2023 AT 7:00PM

Find yourself enthusiastically nostalgic and impressed as Rick Leif, Toni Trippi, Bob Mars, Dave Rocheleau and Mo Silvestris deliver an unforgettable set of your favorite songs from the 60’s!

BREAKFAST FELLOWSHIP

The next Saturday Breakfast Fellowship will be on the 18th of November at 8:30 AM. 


This month I want to talk about angels. Did you know that angels are mentioned 285 times in the bible? If you add the cherubim and seraphim, that number jumps to 365. But what are angels? Are they around in the 21st century? How would I recognize an angel if I saw one?


I don’t know if we’ll have any answers to these questions but there will be plenty to talk about. I will send links to Bible readings and internet articles which talk about angels a couple of weeks before the meeting.


Everyone is welcome to join us on Saturday, November 18 at 8:30 AM for breakfast, fellowship, and discussion. For more information or to add yourself to the Saturday Breakfast Fellowship email list, please contact Tom at tomdan4@gmail.com

FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR

Hello Trinity Community!


I’m excited for the variety of worship we will get to experience this month. Check out the information below for music details for each week of November.


  • November 12th: The Special Music provided by Hand Bell Choir
  • November 19th: Service Music provided by the Worship Band
  • November 26th: The Special Music provided by Adult Voice Choir
  • Children attending Trinity Tots Program after service with Ms. Sherry will get a musical visit from Mr. Scott. 🙂


This month, our Sung Benediction will be ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple, #568 in the Chalice Hymnal. Hopefully, it is a familiar tune to some, but our secretary tells me it has not been sung at Trinity since adopting the Chalice Hymnal.


For the Song of the Month, I plan to wait until I return on November 12th to introduce it. This month’s song is Let the River Flow by Darrell Evans. It is a new Praise & Worship song in my life and it has been speaking to me quite a bit. I’m taking that as guidance from God and bringing it to you this month. The Worship Band is even planning to bring it to life when they play on November 19th. Take a listen to the real version HERE.


We have 3 dedicated groups of musicians who have been meeting regularly and showing great improvement each week as they prepare for upcoming performances through the next few months and Holiday Season. You will not want to miss the Lessons & Carols Service they are preparing for the 10am service on December 17th, featuring the Voice and Hand Bell Choirs.


Over the past few weeks, I have really felt the love and support our congregation has for its community. I admire all of the members who give their time and efforts over and over again to make what we do at Trinity happen smoothly and look its best. We are very fortunate to have these kind-hearted and hardworking people in our midst. We often mention it in our weekly services, but I AM very grateful for anyone who does anything to help our services and weekly operations. As I’ve said before, people are what makes us special. Nothing we have or do at Trinity could exist without…people. 


Until We Meet Again

Song of the Month: 

YouTube Example Video

Lyrics:

Let the poor man say “I am rich in Him”

Let the lost man say “I am found in Him”

Let the river flow.


Let the blind man say “I can see again”

Let the dead man say “I am born again”

Let the river flow. Let the river flow.


Let the river flow.

Let the river flow.

Holy Spirit come, move in power

Let the river flow.
