Start the new year off with a breakfast in the Fellowship Hall, hosted and served by the deacons. Bring a friend. Serving begins at 7:00am.

How many times have you written the wrong year so far? It happens to me every year. I’m usually a week or two into the New Year by the time I consistently demonstrate that I know what year it is. We ended 2009 on a positive note despite the bad weather. Financially we ended the year with a healthy balance. We are within $17,000 of being debt free and we exceeded our Lottie Moon goal of $7,000! Keep in mind that in August we faced a shortfall for the first time in years. God is gracious.

Looking ahead to 2010 we are hoping to payoff our debt by March freeing up funds for some needed repairs. In addition we hope to put renewed efforts into our Sunday School and outreach. We hope to strengthen our ties with Clinton Middle School and engage in more aggressive community outreach. As we look ahead we want to keep in mind that our goal is to assist individuals in discovering life in Christ; in developing a vibrant, living faith; and in discerning their unique mission within the body of Christ.

Join me in praying that 2010 will be a great year here at Trinity. I look forward to seeing you this coming Lord’s Day.
