Trinity Talk
June 6, 2010
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A LITLE MORE JOY IN YOUR LIFE? Trinity has just the thing for you and it begins on Wednesday, June 9, at 6 p.m. Pastor Susan will be leading a worship service
unlike any of the other services we currently have at Trinity. As many of you
know who have attended her special Advent, Holy Week, and other special-
day services, she expresses her creativity and special talent in putting
together heart-warming experiences. She will do this with the JOY services –
(Jesus-Others-You). Mark your calendars and plan to add JOY to your lives.

Healthy Church Initiative Update: Our coach, Rev. Dr. Royal Speidel, met with Trinity leadership in April and May. Royal brings a wealth of experience to Trinity. He has served in small, rural churches as well as a large downtown church in Chicago. He has written a book on evangelism in the small membership church and has done extensive work with small groups.
His time together has been filled with lively discussion about the prescriptions and the time frames. We’ve also discussed the ministry audit which looks at each ministry and its effectiveness in leading people to Jesus Christ. Team leaders will receive a ministry audit form in the next two weeks to be discussed at team meetings. Each area of ministry will have its own audit form. For example, the mission team will look at Operation Christmas Child, Trunk or Treat, Community Easter Egg hunt and other outreach ministries. We will discuss the purpose of each ministry, along with how it reaches out to create new disciples. This audit will help us to think as evangelists. We look forward to our next meeting with Royal in June.

At the June 1st TUMC Girls meeting they decided to use some of the yard sale proceeds to purchase colorful chairs for the Children's Room as well as additional white tables and much needed pans for the kitchen.
They also worked on their Healthy Church Initiative forms regarding the various activities that TUMC girls sponsor. “Reaching out to others in the name of Christ” is their focus as they work on their HCI forms regarding the activities they sponsor.
The Assembly Church is sponsoring a 5K run on June 19th at 8:00 a.m. Trinity will have some participants running and will also have a table of refreshments/information set up for the runners. It is a great outreach for those in the community to learn more about our church. Other local churches will be helping out, also. Come out to the school to encourage the runners and visit awhile!
