Trinity Talk – News, Events, and Schedules – April 17, 2011
THE EASTER EGG HUNT IS THIS AFTERNOON in the City Park, 3-5 p.m. Lots of things to do after the egg hunt: face painting, jumpers, games, food, etc. Everyone welcome.
We welcome the children as they participate in the Palm Processional today. This is the beginning of the Palm/Passion week, the week that leads to the Crucifixion on Friday and the Resurrection on Sunday. Next Sunday is Easter Sunday.
TRINITY SINGERS will present a short cantata on Easter Sunday morning entitled “The Rose.” Final practices will be tonight at 6 p.m. and Wednesday night at 6:30.
THIS WEEK – TUMC TO HOST HOLY WEEK SERVICES again this year. They will start at 7 a.m. each morning Monday through Thursday, April 18 through 21st. All churches in the community participate in these services, with Bro. Greg Stevens speaking on Monday; Pastor Susan Hoyle on Tuesday; Bro. Kevin Eskew on Wednesday and Bro. Bob Holland on Thursday. The services usually last about 30 minutes, giving time for people to attend before going to work. For those who do not have a work deadline to meet, there will be coffee and doughnuts, etc., for a half hour or so of visiting. These services help prepare us for the Good Friday and Easter Morning Services.
THE COMMUNITY GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE will be held at the 1st General Baptist Church on Christian Drive with Bro. Dwight Hensley preaching at 7 p.m.
MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICES will be held at Trinity on Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. Pastor Susan always has an outstanding service for this occasion—we will be a part of the Last Supper which Jesus shared with His disciples. If you haven’t been there, perhaps you can try it this year; if you have attended, you will want to come again.
There will be a WEDDING SHOWER FOR JULIE CHRISTIAN, daughter of Jean Christian, on Saturday, April 30, from 10–11:30 a.m. Julie is registered at Target and a few things at J. C. Penny’s. All women of the church are invited. Drop in or stay the full time and enjoy the fellowship. Julie will be married in Jamaica in mid-May.
ATTENDANCE AND OFFERING STATS for March are available on the table in the foyer.
PASTOR SUSAN’S OFFICE HOURS: Susan is in her office each Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is best to call her to make sure she is there since she also visits and has meetings, etc. She is available to meet on other days, also. What about the other days, you might ask? She works on the message and other more in-depth studies at home. You may call her at 568-3188 (church), 568-3581 (home) or 421-3706 (cell). If you wish to make an appointment, please leave your message on her home phone or on her cell phone, since there is no one scheduled to be in the office on any other specific day of the week.
