E3 CONTINUES WEDNESDAY—Our Wednesday evening program, E3, will resume this week. We will offer a place for everyone in the family. There will be a nursery for small children, preschool Bible class, elementary Bible class, our regular middle school meet up and THREE adult studies on various topics led by Pastor Ken, Pastor Gary and Vicar Jeremy. All of the classes will begin at 6:30 p.m. and run for an hour. Join us before the classes for dinner, beginning at 6 p.m. There is no need to register in advance for dinner or the classes, however, we are looking for volunteers to help out with welcoming, check in or children’s ministry. If you are interested in helping out, go to Trinityct.org/E3.

CURRENT EASTER SERMON SERIES—Easter People—We belong to God; therefore, we are Easter people. Because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and by virtue of our baptism, we too, are resurrected to new life. Using the book of 1 John we will explore what it means to live as “Easter People.”

BAPTISM PROGRAM—If you are interested in baptism at Trinity you can schedule a time to meet with Jeremy Ashley, for a “get to know you” conversation. We talk about what baptism is, how we do it, why we do it, our role, your role and how this all plays out in the “real life” of your home. Our time together can simply be for you to find out more about baptism or after we meet you may choose to schedule a baptism for your child! If you have any questions or to move forward with baptism, email me or 586-463-8803!
