TRINITY'S COFFEE HOUSE TOMORROW
FRIDAY APRIL 19, 2024
| |
|
Breakfast Fellowship in April will be on the 20th at 8:30 AM.
All cultures around the world have their own creation story. In ancient times, people recorded these stories, presumably to help explain where they came from.
We’ve all read the Genesis creation story. How does this compare to other creation stories from the middle east? How about Asian creation stories, or American, or African?
This month, I want to start looking at creation stories or myths.
We’ll start in April with the Middle East and look again at the story in Genesis along with others from that region. In May, we’ll move on to Asian, African, and American creation stories.
I’ll send out some links for reading in a couple of weeks.
Everyone is welcome to join us on Saturday, April 20 at 8:30 AM for breakfast, fellowship, and discussion.
For more information or to add yourself to the Saturday Breakfast Fellowship email list, please contact Tom at: tomdan4@gmail.com

Hello Trinity Church Community!
Here is a quick look at what musical opportunities April will bring us:
- April 21st - This Sunday will be the last Service in the Season for our Worship Band. They are preparing some lively Praise Music in addition to an Instrumental Postlude. For the Special Music, I will be singing a Classic Solo accompanied by Pam. You won’t want to miss this week!
- April 28th - The Hand Bell Choir will present a unique arrangement called “Song of Gladness” that includes familiar melodies and fun styles of playing for great visual effects.
For our Song of the Month for April, I chose “Holy, Holy, Holy’ - #4 in the Chalice Hymnal. Many of you will find great comfort in this song. I hope we will sing it out with a Joyful Noise each week!
And for a Sung Benediction, we will sing a 3 short verses and chorus of “Alleluia” - #106 in the Chalice Hymnal. Even if it is new to you, I feel confident that the repeated words & simple melody will make it accessible to everyone.
The few months after Easter is a great time to “test the waters” with any of our music ensembles. Each of the groups will be learning 1-2 more songs for the months of April & May and then take off for the Summer months. If you’d like more information on rehearsal times, what would be expected, just reach out. May you be rejuvenated with the arrival of Spring!
Until We Meet Again,
Scott Arnold (he/him)

Girl Scout Troop 65324
As part of their badge earning process, the Girl Scouts have asked if they could plant a flower garden and maintain it in an area that would able to expand over time with the troop.
There is a small area where Pastor Will parks his car and that he can see out his window that they have chosen and would work well for them. So if you happen to see them in that area, they are working hard on earning their "planting" badge say hello.
