Our annual TRUNK OR TREAT is Saturday, October 30; that’s not far away; please bring your candy to share with the kids of Bloomfield. If you would like, decorate your car trunk. We will park on the upper level of our church parking lot and will play host to the community’s children. Last year we had 500 kids; what a blessing!

Bishop Robert Schnase of the Missouri United Methodist Conference gave the opening message of the United Methodist National Association of Equitable Compensation Administrators on September 28. He talked about his book, The Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations, a best-seller, and it's the impact on pastors and congregations. The seminar coordinator asked for Bishop Schnase to choose four pastors to be a part of a panel presentation on how the Five Practices had made a difference in their ministry. Pastor Susan was asked to be on the panel because of Trinity's outwardly focused mission of taking risks to serve Jesus. She has used the five practices, radical hospitality, passionate worship, intentional faith development, risk-taking mission and service and extravagant generosity as a framework for ministry.

Trinity’s food ministry this month is canned meat. This goes to the Assembly of God Church’s Food Pantry from which families in the area are served. You may bring your items to Trinity, or you may leave them in the designated box at Bloomfield’s Town and Country. Your offering of food items really makes a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters who are less fortunate. Some months there are 150 families receiving food

WOMEN – RESERVE THE DATE: Saturday, November 13.. The 1st Baptist Church in Bloomfield will be hosting its annual Community Christian Women’s Brunch at 10 a.m. There’s always good food, Christian fellowship, door prizes and an entertaining program.
