John will receive his pie in the face on Sunday, April 12th at 12:30 PM in Hanberry Hall.

Trinity Nominating Committee

Trinity's Constitution requires elections every December for our Leadership and Audit Teams. The Nominating Committee recommends people to serve in these roles. The Committee needs to be elected in the April meeting. The service term for the Committee is from May until December.

Would you be interested in helping to identify people to serve? Please let Jim Elsenbeck (678-640-0410) or the church office know.

Community Garden Planting April 18

Calling all those who like to play in the dirt! We would love for you to join the Community Garden Ministry! This spring our planting day will be on Saturday, April 18th at 9am. We will meet at the community garden at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church to plant various plants including tomatoes, cucumbers, okra and squash. No prior experience is necessary. Just a willing heart and a pair of gloves.

In addition to the planting day, we also have a rotation of volunteers who tend the garden every two weeks (weeding, watering, picking produce, etc.). We need a couple of people to join us in this rotation of caring for the garden. Again, no experience is needed. You'll be partnered with a gardening buddy to journey with. Everything we grow is donated to the Lilburn Co-op. Last year through God's grace we were able to donate over 400 pounds of produce to the Lilburn Co-op!

Please feel free to reach out to Pastor Katie with any questions: pastorkatie@tlc-lilburn.org

New Community Garden Picture

Trinity Women's Retreat

Trinity Women's Retreat was held at Christwalk in the Valley Retreat Center the weekend of March 13-15, 2026. 30 women attended. We had perfect weather and many enjoyed walking around the lake, visiting local establishments, and hiking some local trails during free time. Our theme was Boho, or the Bohemian era, and many of the ladies dressed for the occasion! (Think Joan Baez or Janis Joplin) We learned about several important women in the Bible and how they were empowered to break the mold of women during various biblical eras. Chelsea Lemcke-Miller and Becca Campbell prepared a program that was well received and led us through a guide on the structure of prayer using the ACTS prayer model. We created a beaded prayer bracelet and painted mandalas on rocks! The food was wonderful and cabin accommodations exceeded our expectations. Click on the picture to see more photos from the retreat.

Tucker (30084) that is located below Lawrenceville Highway.

Lilburn Co-op is a local non-profit organization that is funded through your tax-deductible donations plus sales of donated goods at Lily’s Cloak, our thrift store.
