What’s Happening at Trinity—April 24, 2022
CHURCH SURVEY—To assist in the process of calling our next senior pastor, we have several tasks to complete. One of these is a survey of our worship attendees. Today, we will distribute paper forms, which you will complete for every member of your family in worship today and return before you leave. If you are worshiping online, we will provide a link to the survey for you to complete for everyone watching church today. For more information, contact the Church Office at 586-463-2921.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH RETURNS SOON—Our Campus Director of Family and Children’s Ministry Elizabeth Parrish is preparing to bring Children’s Church back to the 11 a.m. worship services. Children’s Church occurs in the Church Lounge during the sermon and is for kids ages 4-8 to hear a message they understand that connects with them, while still keeping families together for worship. To make this program run smoothly and efficiently, she needs two adult volunteers each week to assist with classroom management and activities. There is no prep work. If you would be interested in signing up to help at a service or two, contact Elizabeth at or 586-463-2921 ext 108.
THANK YOU TRINITY! Thanks to your generosity and participation in the Meijer Simply Give campaign, our food pantry has been blessed with $16,890 to purchase items for the needy in our community. Thank you for supporting the Simply Give program and our pantry.

Join us the next few weeks as we get “more Easter” and continue to focus on the resurrection of Jesus and what it means for us.
