Trinity Talk – August 15, 2010
Thanks to Jan Aslin for planning something special for the kids of all ages this Sunday. As Kids are very important at Trinity, she has declared this Sunday as “Back to School” Sunday. We will be introducing and honoring the following groups of children during the 11:00 service: Babies and Young Children, Preschool Students, Elementary Students, Middle School Students, High School Students, and Post High School Students.
All children are to bring their backpacks as Rev. Susan will have a
“Blessing of the Backpacks.” There will be a gift for each child, and
Trinity diaper/backpack tags will be available for those who wish to
have one.
We hope you can join us this evening at 6:00 p.m. for
Trinity's homemade ice cream social. Why not use
this social time to invite friends and neighbors to Trinity? Sometimes folks are more open to a social time at church than a worship time. This might just be the "door" for someone to experience the love of God through us. Please bring ice cream toppings or a dessert to share. Hope to see you there!
FESTIVAL OF SHARING TIME – September 25 is the day for Festival of Sharing at the Dexter UMC this year. Because of the many disasters, there is a desperate need for School Kits (value $15) and Emergency Clean-up Buckets (value $59). As we have done in the past, you or a group may put a kit together and bring it to the church, or you may prefer to give money toward a kit and have someone else to put the kit/s together for you. A list of the items making up each Kit is available on the table in the foyer.
Pastor Susan offers the following opportunity: The worship team and I have been planning for our new worship services that will begin in October. No matter how much planning is done, the foundation of this new worship arrangement and all that we do at Trinity is prayer. I invite you to join me as we pray for God's Spirit to empower us as the church in our corner of the world. I am asking if you would join me in a study called Acts 29: Fifty Days of Prayer to Invite the Holy Spirit by Terry Teykl? From attending Terry's workshops, I know he is gifted in guiding others to a deeper prayer life. This study will be done on your own. We can begin this study on August 22 and be finished on October 10, which is our first Sunday with three worship services.
Will you prayerfully consider my request? There is such power when we study and pray together and I believe God has put this on my heart to give us even more power to be the church to the hurting world. Please let me know if you would like me to order a book for you. Blessings, Pastor Susan

Trinity extends sympathy to Nora Statler in the lost of her father. She has traveled to New York to be with her family. Also to the Gibbs family on the loss of Jill’s uncle, Mr. Shipman, and her grandmother, who broke her hip while attending his visitation.
