Mission Spotlight

Our diaper ministry helps so many young families in the area.  The diaper team receives several calls each week from moms and dads who need diapers for their babies and toddlers.  They have told Lara, Kristine, Carrie, Annette, Barb, Marcia and Susan how grateful they are for this ministry…there are times when payday is just a day away but the diapers have run out.  Sadly, though, there are times when we have to say “we’re out, check back.”  Will you pick up a package when you’re shopping this week?  We need diapers sizes 3, 4 and 5 and baby wipes. There is a basket in the foyer of the sanctuary building.  This is an important ministry at Trinity and your generosity makes all the difference to a baby in Bloomfield.  Thank you for being a part of this important mission as we reach out to our community…                                                    

Congratulations

John Gandt, son of Don and Ginny Gandt, has been promoted to Major.  Don and Ginny attended the ceremony and Don pinned the oak leaf on his son.  John will be stationed in Egypt beginning the end of August.  He will be part of an international force on the Gaza Strip.  We congratulate John for his promotion and for his service to his country and for our freedom…and we pray for him…

Janet Palmer is now a published author!  She is one of 39 women who have shared their stories in Get Your Woman On.  It was an Amazon bestseller on Wednesday, July 20.  The book, which will be released in August, sold 100,000 copies that day.  Most of the authors are experts in their fields and Janet is part of this book through Divine intervention.  A few months ago, Janet ordered a book on public speaking and had not received it.  She called the phone number on the author's website on a Saturday morning and the person who answered was the author of the book.  They chatted for awhile and she asked Janet why she had ordered the book.  Janet shared some of her story about Reese's accident and how Janet felt she was to speak about all that she had learned through this difficult time.  Through that one conversation, Janet was told that she believed she was to be the 39th contributor to the book.  And now, it has become a reality.  Check out the book on amazon.com.   We praise God that Janet listened and followed...

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone that shared in Trinity’s new ministry with the SEMO Mobile Food Bank.  It was a hot day and we served our guests with drinks and radical hospitality.  We served over 168 families totaling 532 people.  How blessed we were to share our morning with our guests…
