What’s Happening at Trinity—May 1, 2022

CHURCH SURVEY

To ALL members and guests worshiping today—if you did NOT fill out a survey last weekend (April 23/24) please, fill out the paper form (located at the end of your row near the aisle) for each member of your family in worship today and return it to an usher before you leave. If you are worshiping online, we will provide a link to the survey for you to complete for everyone watching church in your home today. This demographic survey is a first step in the process of calling a new Senior pastor as we put together a “pastor profile.” For more information about the form of the process, contact the Church Office at 586-463-2921.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH RETURNS SOON—Our Campus Director of Family and Children’s Ministry Elizabeth Parrish will resume Children’s Church during the 11 a.m. worship services on June 5. 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, go to Trinityct.org/childrenschurch. For more information, contact Elizabeth at or 586-463-2921 ext. 108.

NEW SERMON SERIES—More Easter Please! Everyone loves celebrating the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, this Easter faith, hope, and joy can be easily lost in the day-to-day activities of our lives. 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. 

† May 1—More Hope

† May 8--More Grace

† May 15—More Purpose

† May 22—More to Come

† June 5—More of God’s Spirit
