I have a pastor friend in another state and we talk on the phone regularly.  We call each other in an effort to encourage one another.  We talk about what’s going on in our families and in our churches.  We share our joys and heartaches.  We talk about our struggles.  When he is telling me about the struggles in his congregation I usually say, “Well you know what you ought to do” and then I give h...  Read More

Well, we are a day late in getting the newsletter out because we were without electricity until yesterday afternoon around 4:00 pm.  I tree just up the street west of us took out the power line.  What a great day we had Sunday!  It’s always special when we observe baptism, but it was especially sweet for me getting to baptize one of my grandchildren.  It was also special recognizing our graduates ...  Read More

It’s on my mind…This coming Sunday evening, April 28, we have the opportunity to recognize and express our appreciation for Bobby and Teresa Smith.  Bobby has served us well for the last 12 years as our worship leader.  Of course, he grew up here at Trinity and before stepping into his current role had come back as a member after having served in several churches in the area.  Bobby and I have bee...  Read More
