Trinity Talk – News, Events, and Schedules for activities - January 16, 2011
(3 pages)
SKATING EVENT – The TUMC Girls are hosting an afternoon of roller skating at the Puxico Skating Rink from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. next Sunday, January 23. All skating will be paid for by the host group; you are responsible for your own refreshments. Skaters and spectators are needed. (Note: This was a great event last year with lots of fun for both skaters and spectators.)
JOY - Trinity’s mid-week worship service, at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 19.
The Church Council passed a motion in November for a Stewardship Education Plan. Stewardship means that we care for all that God gives us from the earth to each other to our offering to God of our money, our gifts, our talents, skills and service. Stewardship is an important aspect of our spiritual lives. We will be talking about the various aspects of stewardship during the next two weeks, then on Sunday, January 23, we will have a delicious BBQ loin lunch, which will be provided. We will take reservations for the lunch this Sunday, January 16,
Trinity's new Wednesday evening experience--supper and small groups, along with the JOY worship service--begins on January 26 at 5:00 p.m. Supper is from 5:00 to 6:15 p.m. The JOY service is at 6:00 p.m. and small groups begin about 6:30 p.m. Childcare will be provided, too. The small groups will be informative and fun. One group will be "A Walk in the Park" about Yosemite National Park. Another will offer a time for exercise. One may be about music and another about computers. We hope you will mark your calendars for this exciting new experience at Trinity.
TRINITY SINGERS will practice on Wednesday, January 26, at 7:30 p.m. and will sing at the morning worship services on Sunday, January 30. If you enjoy singing, come out and be a part of this group. Cissy Williams directs.
Our first Fifth Sunday Supper and Sing-A-Long will be on Sunday evening, January 30. We'll have supper at 5:00 and the singing begins at 6:00. Please bring finger foods to share (and of course that includes desserts). We're also looking for folks to share their musical talents, like we did after the Children's Christmas program. Let Tony know if you will sing or play a special at tony@newwavecomm.net. This is an excellent opportunity for fellowship and inviting others to share in Trinity’s hospitality.
Copies of the financial and attendance reports for the month of December and the end of the year are on the table in the foyer. If you have questions, you may talk to Larry Smith, church council chair, Jan Aslin as treasurer, or Sue Mayo as financial secretary.
Trinity received a thank you card from Murlin Phillips expressing his appreciation to the ones who sent him Christmas cards. He did so appreciate it. Charlie Glass did not get permission to receive his cards, but he, too, was thankful that he was remembered. We never know when and how someone may be touched by being remembered.
Following is a message that Lina Gibbs. Please read carefully and see where you might be able to help. There are some great ideas and opportunities here:
Subject: Sunday club, 9:30 service nursery and children's ministry
1) The 11:00 am service Nursery/Sunday Club workers schedule is complete and will send that out soon. It will be for the entire year and I will mail hard copies if I cannot attach it.
2) I've been asked about nursery for the 9:30 service, when other children are in Sunday school. So if anyone would like to volunteer for that I would appreciate it. Something to think about as you make your decision--we do have a television in the nursery and I've been told that the wiring has mostly been completed to feed the service into that TV. So I will try to get that completed for those volunteers.
3) The young adult class, that Scott used to teach, would like to begin meeting again. This class would meet at the same time the children attend Sunday school, 9:30 - 10:30. I'm wondering if anyone might be interested in leading that class. Now, as you consider this position, let me tell you that this class prefers video lessons and then some discussion after. This makes the leading easy; we always try to find material with a leader’s guide that has questions ready to go, and I'd be happy to help in locating material.
4) I think last for now, I'd like to look at how we do children's Sunday school now. Susan and I met with Shelly Nall. Some of you will know her as Chris's wife. She's an amazing woman with an incredible heart for children and their being led to a relationship with Christ. I was moved to consider what we currently do for curriculum, and what we might do to improve it. For that, I'd like ANYONE, with a heart for our children and a desire to affect this generation and future generations for years to come, to come to a children's ministry meeting to discuss options. I'm looking for all types and ages of folks to help out with this, people with all types of skills who can work together in whatever we decide. PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT LOOKING FOR TEACHERS right now, this meeting is simply to get ideas and make plans. We all have gifts that God can use to teach our kids and nurture our volunteers. So please come on Thursday, February 3, at 6:00 pm., education building. I hope that date will work for everyone and I hope to see many of you!!!
Have a great week!!
Lina
