Trinity’s Council begins each meeting with prayer by a Council member. Many of these prayers ask God for guidance as we discuss issues and make decisions for our congregation. Joe Fogarty’s prayer for our August meeting focused on giving thanks for our congregation and its ministries.

Our Annual Day Camp Sunday worship service and picnic were held on August 5th at the Hegins Park. Pastor Brian led the worship service, Pastor Mark preached the children’s sermon, and Camp Director Katie Bowman presented the Day Camp part of the service.

At our August 8th Agape Community meal we served 78 people a delicious meal of pulled chicken/buns, potato salad, carrots/celery/dip, and ice cream/ toppings and enjoyed a pleasant and very warm evening of fellowship.

Say hello to Kelly and Ayla Huss!  Kelly and Ayla were both baptized at the creek at Valley View Park on August 19 and officially became a part of the Trinity family in August 26 at our Contemporary Service!

In August, Trinity made a $1,500 contribution to the Brethren Housing Association (BHA) from donations made by our members.  See the “Mail Box” section for thank you notes from BHA.  Inside you will find some additional information from BHA.

We are attempting to make a greater connection among those who are shut in or homebound.  You can help!  We will have a signup sheet for you to sign up to both visit those who are home from a hospitalization or to deliver a DVD to our shut ins.

The time of year is here for Youth Group to begin! We are asking for volunteers to help transport children for Junior Youth Group on Wednesdays.

The Baptismal Font is the piece of "church furniture" to do baptisms. In some churches, they are three-sided, in symbolism of the Holy Trinity. There are different ways of baptizing people, such as immersion, but at Trinity, we usually pour water on the baptized, also called affusion.

The mail box was added last month to share notes from people who took the time to share their thoughts and expressions of gratitude with Trinity.

The Valley View Park Association is asking for help at the hamburger stand, soda stand, and where ever else needed at the events that will take place in the Valley View Park this summer.
