TRINITY’S SUMMER FRED TALKS:  Similar to the well-known TED Talks, Trinity’s FRED Talks offer a wide variety of topics that help open our eyes and hearts to God, God’s creation, and God’s children. Faith, Religion, Education, and Discussion, FRED Talks may range from Christian theological and Biblical discussions to other religions to the needs in our community and our world. But the talks’ focus and discussions always help us with our faithful response to issues and people as followers of Christ. The talks take place in Trinity’s Gearing Hall on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:15am with refreshments and fellowship time beginning at 9:00am. During the FRED Talks, children 4 years through 5th grade will meet with Nette Curtis and friends for Children’s Summer Fun in Room 4 from 9:15-10:15am. Youth 6th through 12th grade will meet with Jared Brown in Room 7.

  • August 25: Rev. Carol Clark – “WATCH!” We live busy lives and sometimes it's hard to pull together a 'disciplined life of prayer and connection with God.' We want to. We think we should, but life is full of demands. One simple (but focused) way to deepen a life of faith is to WATCH. You will hopefully leave this session with an approach/orientation to draw you closer to God in the midst of your busy life. Carol Clark is a retired PCUSA pastor who has been worship leader and preacher at Montreat worship and youth conferences, pastor of churches in SC, TX, NC, and most recently transitional pastor at Park Hill Presbyterian in North Little Rock.

ATTENTION TRINITY COOKS!  Your Fellowship Committee is looking for folks who love to cook and bake! The idea is to form a group of rotating volunteers who would be willing to prepare desserts or sides for our church wide luncheons and dinners. The group would be contacted by Fellowship when we are having an upcoming event. We may have specific food requests, or it may be an assortment, depending on the menu. This gives our members who enjoy cooking a chance to share their talents on occasion and provides delicious homemade dishes to enhance our amazing meals. We are happy to reimburse for the cost of ingredients, just turn in your receipts to the church office. If you are interested, please contact Susan Brown at 501-517-2774 or Elizabeth Downes at 501-247-5210. We need you!
