Lent Resource Book

As we journey through Lent, we invite you to pick up a copy for Trinity's Lent Resource Book. Inside, you will find daily Scripture readings, space to write your thoughts and prayers, and activities. At heart of the book is centered around our sermon series and the themes woven throughout our daily Crosstalk audio devotions. This resource is designed for individuals and families of all ages to use as we anticipate the glorious Easter celebration.
The resource book is available from the Welcome Center beginning Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18 and will be available on a first-come, first served basis. The workbook is also availble for download to print from home or use on an electronic device.
