Our youth have regular meetings and numerous
activities during the year. They participate in many of the church
functions and activities and everyone is very proud of them.

part of our youth program, please give the office a call.
The leaders of our youth always welcome parents
and other church members who wish to assist in trips and transportation
and other functions as needed to keep our youth active. |

| EVANGELISM |
Mark 16:15 "Go
throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all mankind."
This important function of the church is reaching
out to those who do not have a church home, with invitations
in many forms. As individuals, we can tell of our Lord when opportunities
arise.
The evangelism committee uses the media and
other resources to invite people to worship. |

| PARISH CHRISTIAN EDUCATION |
The goal of Trinity is to involve all members
in continuous learning of God's word by joining one of the Bible
study groups. For those of you who have a gift of teaching, your
talents are welcomed as a Sunday School teacher or Bible Study
Leader. In the summer time, teachers and aides are needed for our
Vacation Bible School. |
|
| MUSIC |
Our
music program brings joy and inspiration to all of us and praise
to our Lord. We need musicians-those who
are willing to serve the Lord with their talents. There are many
ways for you to be a part of this vital ministry:
† Choir: Rehearses once a
week and sings in the second service about once every three
Sundays.
† Hand
bells
† Special
Music: If you play a musical instrument or sing, please share
it with the congregation on Sunday mornings.
† Rest
Home Music Ministry: Several local locations are visited once
a month where the residents enjoy the music provided.
† School Chapel: Musicians lead music for School
Chapel Services every Wednesday morning during the school year.
† 1st
Service Contemporary Music: This is an opportunity to serve
the Lord by singing, playing guitar or other instrument or
keyboard during the 8:00 a.m. at Trinity. Rehearsal times are
varied.
† 2nd
Service Traditional Music: If you play a brass instrument,
consider playing with the organ and other brass players on
certain festival Sundays throughout the year.

| SHEPHERDING |
The goal of the shepherding program is that
each member and member family, have a shepherd. The shepherds maintain
contact either by phone or in person, keep their lambs in their
daily prayers and basically be a loving Christian brother or sister.
Some shepherds send get-well cards, anniversary cards, etc. but
this is optional. Each shepherd has a list of members that they
contact, usually five or six. It is a rewarding activity for both
the shepherd and the lambs.

4. Paraments are maintained and changed as needed. |

receive. For prayer requests, call the church office and leave
a message. |
