PHISHING SCAM TARGETS PASTORS-We are aware of the emails delivered on behalf of "Pastor Ken" or “Pastor Gary” asking for gift cards. These are scams. Trinity would also never ask for gift cards or financial or bank information via email. You'll notice the phishing email addresses are not Trinity email addresses. We have no control over this scam, nor do we understand why they are using our pastors names. If you receive an email of this nature, just ignore it and delete it. If you question the validity of an email from Trinity, call the Church Office to verify it at 586-463-2921.

LENT SERMON SERIES-Our 2022 Lent sermon series, “No Wonder They Crucified Him,” begins today. Why in the world would anyone want to kill Jesus? He lived a life of sacrificial love. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and taught us how to love one another. On the other hand, it’s no wonder they crucified him. Jesus claimed to be God, called out hypocrisy, challenged the religious beliefs of the day, spoke uncomfortable truth to the religious leaders, and indicated that it was only through him that we could come to God. Join us this Lent as we consider, No Wonder They Crucified Him.
MIDWEEK WORSHIP—Each Wednesday throughout Lent, Pastor Gary leads a midweek, midday devotion at noon the Chapel.
CROSSTALK AUDIO DEVOTIONS are available during Lent. The devotions are sent via email each day. If you’d like to be included and have not received Crosstalk in the past, go to Trinityct.org/crosstalk to sign up. You can also find these devotions on iTunes or Google Play.
SUBMIT YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS—We have an online form for submitting those requests. Go to Trinityct.org and click Submit a Prayer Request toward the bottom of the page. Complete the form and it will be sent to the appropriate prayer warriors.
