CHILDREN’S SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL 9:20 to 10:40 am - Nursery available for children birth thru age 2.

Children (preschool—5th grade) join their families in the Sanctuary for worship before proceeding downstairs for class after “Learning with our Children” time. If your and your little one would be more comfortable, our “Family Room” is to the right. Nursery care (downstairs) continues to be available for children through age 2. On 1st Sundays, our Preschool thru 5th graders will return to the Sanctuary with their leaders to sit with their families for Communion. The sign-out sheet will be on the cart outside the center Sanctuary doors.

Feel free to visit our classrooms! Please do not leave children unattended before class and pick them up promptly following worship. Thank you for supporting our teachers in this way.

Benediction:

You go nowhere by accident.

Wherever you go, God is sending you.

Wherever you are, God has put you there.

God has a purpose in your being there.

Christ lives in you and has something

he wants to do through you

where you are.

Believe this and go in the grace and love and power of Jesus Christ.

Postlude

* from Canyon Road by Kari Kristina Reeves)

Matthew 7:7-11 7 ‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 9Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for bread, will give a stone? 10Or if the child asks for a fish, will give a snake? 11If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Matthew 6:19-21 19 ‘Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; 20but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.

A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.

Sunday Morning Children’s Christian Education

During the Summer, Children join their families in the Sanctuary for opening worship and “Learning with Our Children”, then proceed downstairs for class. Parents must sign their children in and out of all classes every Sunday and pick them up promptly after worship. The sign-in sheet is located in the main hallway outside the Sanctuary doors; sign-out downstairs in Fellowship Hall.

Thank you for supporting our teachers; you are always welcome to visit our classrooms.

Adult Christian Education Please check the calendar or contact Robin Olschner (robino@tpcarvada.org) for information about what’s available during the summer months.

DINNER DINNER

CONNECTIONCONNECTION

"Sensory Friendly" Concert Saturday, June 8 at 11 am

Trinity will be hosting a "Sensory Friendly" concert on Saturday, June 8 from 11 am to noon, presented by members of Ensemble Faucheux who are Denver-area professional musicians!

This concert is especially created for neurodiverse individuals and their care circles, but anyone can come, which makes this a wonderful opportunity for young families and anyone else who would like to enjoy a casual but high level concert experience featuring music for bass clarinet and string instruments. After the concert, there will be an opportunity to touch and try musical instruments in the church lobby.

Tickets are just $3! Contact Robin Olschner for more information.

April Financial Update All numbers are year-to-date as of April 30, 2019.

Operating Building Year to Date Income $129,905.27 $14,667.55 Year to Date Expense -$136,644.04 $15,761.08 2019 Deficit/Surplus -$ 6,738.77 -$ 1,093.53

We are 1/3 of the way through our financial year. Tracking finances in a church is a bit like riding a roller coaster! At the end of the first quarter (March 31) our giving had exceeded our expenses. At the end of April, our spending has exceeded our giving. While giving is seldom consistent from month to month, the faithfulness of God is! Please continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to lead us as we seek to the do the will of Jesus through our church.
