A Note from Pastor Scott

From The Pastor Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ,

I have been deeply moved during this season of Lent and I hope that you

have as well. This season has been extremely rewarding for me as the

Pastor here at Trinity. I have loved preaching on Jesus’ last statements

from the cross with my sermon series titled “Cries from the Cross.” I

believe the message he shared from the cross to those who were close to

him was something he wanted for them to desperately hear and it is the

same message that reaches out to us today. I hope that as we hear the

cries from Jesus they will draw us closer to Him and the understanding of

God’s deep love for all of us.

I have also loved our Wednesday night Lenten Family Study as we have

been gathering together as a church family and studying Adam Hamilton’s

book “Journey to the Cross.” It has been great sharing together in worship

with our Youth Praise Band, and then gathering to discuss this book. The

book has opened up many new thoughts and ideas for me. I love learning

from others and sharing those thoughts. I have loved sharing a meal with

our church family as well. It has truly been a family experience on

Wednesday nights!

Now, I am extremely excited for Holy Week and our Easter Celebration!

For me, this is the most important week as a Christian. It brings together

everything that Jesus lived for here on earth and leads us into the life,

death and resurrection of our Savior.

Our ministry team is excited to share with you very meaningful services

during Holy Week. We will start of our Holy Week services on Palm Sunday

and take a look at the last cry Jesus shares from the cross when he cried

out, “Father, Into Your hands, I Commend my Spirit.” On Maundy Thursday

we will share together in a Foot-Washing ceremony & Holy Communion

and remember that night when Jesus was with his disciples in the Upper

Room. On Good Friday we will share the “Stations of the Cross” in a

moving drama about Jesus carrying his cross to Calvary. And on Easter

Morning we will celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord.

It is my hope that you will be able to come and celebrate with us during

this moving time of the year and allowing God to move you into a closer

relationship with Jesus!

God Bless,

Pastor Scott

SAFE SANCTUARY TRAINING

At the 2014 Annual Conference, the West Ohio Conference voted that all churches in the conference must have a Safe Sanctuary Policy. Trinity already has a policy in place, but there are some components of the policy that need updated and some procedures we must follow as a church to keep our children and youth safe. One of the policies is that if an individual has any contact with children they must go through a training program, and also depending on the situation they may also need a background check. We hope that you‘re understanding of these policies and procedures are important for the whole church body, but most importantly for the protection of our children. Training dates will be posted at a later date and we appreciate your willingness to help in every manner to make this policy an important part of our daily life here at Trinity.

Hospitality Committee Needs Your Help

This Committee is always looking for volunteers to help in various ways. One of the most important ministries this

committee does is funeral dinners along with other special events or activities. There are several ways you can help! You can

donate food, work during a funeral dinner, donate money or even help by becoming the Chairman or Co-Chairman of this

committee. If you would love to help and become a part of this committee, please contact Carol Williams or the church office.

All In The Family

Trinity has been selected as one of eight churches

in our district to participate in this conference

ministry opportunity that takes a look at our

family ministries starting in January. All in the

Family was developed to equip churches in

leading dynamic children, youth and family

ministries and focuses on developing leadership

skills, teaching best ministry practices, and

implementing policies and procedures. If you have

a heart for the families along with the children and

youth of our church and would like to become a

part of this ministry, please contact Pastor Scott or

Josh. You will be hearing more about this ministry

throughout the year.

NEW MEMBERSHIP CLASS

If you are not a member of the

church and have been

attending Trinity and would
