Hope Epidemic Challenge for Next Sunday, May 22 - We continue the Hope Epidemic through May and we have been challenged by Sikeston First to bring food items for local food pantries and vegetable seed packets  for families throughout the world to grow their own food.  We know how much we LOVE a challenge so let's bring 500 food items and 500 vegetable seed packets to worship on May 22.  Let's go TRINITY!!!!

The church council meeting will be Tuesday, May 24, at 6:30 p.m.  This is for all officers of the church and anyone who is interested in the business affairs of Trinity.   

Will you be a part of the Hope Epidemic?  Our message series for May focuses on how hope is to be contagious and we want hope to be contagious in our community.  On Wednesday evening, May 25, at 6:30 p.m., join us at Trinity for a special concert with your favorite musicians as we celebrate spring!  We will have a special offering for the Bloomfield Ministerial Alliance which provides hope for those who need help with groceries, gas, electric bills, rent and other basic needs.  Tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers to come and enjoy a special night of music!

THANKS to all who have helped the many people who have been victims of the tremendous flooding.  There is still a need for workers in nearby areas, i.e. Morehouse, and a continued need for food, clothing, cash, and HOPE.

The TUMC Girls opened the doors to their yard sale yesterday to the flood victims and to the Assembly of God Food Pantry recipients.  A large number responded to the opportunity to select many items that the families needed.  TUMC Girls served a light breakfast, had prayer with those who had special requests, and were grateful for the opportunity to serve others especially in this critical time. 

The ladies of the First General Baptist Church of Bloomfield invite you to join them for a two-hour WOMEN’S CONFERENCE on Saturday, May 21, from 1 to 3 p.m.  The guest speaker is Kendis Chenovweth, a passionate, exciting, in-love-with-God’s-Word person.  The will motivate and leave you hungry and encouraged through God’s Word.  Praise and Worship will be led by Ramona Baker and Friends.  All women of our church and community are invited.
