Mission Spotlight SEMO Mobile Food Pantry
Trinity hosted the third mobile food pantry on Saturday, September 24. Forty folks from Trinity served 220 guests which represented 588 people. Since July, we have served 566 families representing 1596 people. There’s a lot going on in our gym and dining room while we serve our guests with a light breakfast, conversation and helping carry groceries to their cars. Those shopping carts are a great help, too. Wonder what that means? Well, join us at our next pantry on October 29 to see those carts in action! There is something to do for everyone and we guarantee that you will be blessed by serving.
New Ministry at Trinity
Jill Gibbs had an idea to offer a new ministry at Trinity and the Sports Breakfast began on Sept. 24. She contacted the high school volleyball coaches and suggested that the team could watch their games to improve their skills and enjoy a great breakfast at Trinity. Jill has contacted people to serve in this ministry providing a delicious breakfast while the girls watch the videos. Thanks to Jill and everyone who serves in this new ministry.
From Royal Speidel, Healthy Church Initiative Coach
Dear good people in Trinity,
It was my privilege to be your Healthy Church Initiative Coach for these past eighteen months. Prior to HCI you worked very hard to create a fine church campus, which God will continue to use to help you grow. You have fine, beautiful buildings. As you increase your paid staff to help bring in more young families, youth and children, God will raise Trinity to new levels of excitement and growth. Your gym holds great possibilities for reaching youth in the larger Bloomfield community as well as providing adults a place to enjoy recreational sports.
Small groups at Trinity will provide opportunity for members and friends of the church to both connect as well as to grow in faith in Christ. God has a large number of deeply committed disciples of Jesus Christ in Trinity, who are giving themselves in ministry. Your worship services provide quality music that most churches cannot afford. Coupled with Pastor Susan's preaching, God is using them to attract new people to Trinity. Thank you for the gift of having had a coaching relationship with you, and may God continue to bless you as you make new disciples of Jesus Christ. God is amazing! Royal Speidel
