With most all Senior Adult Ministry events fi lling up quickly these days, you’ll want to make this a regular stop on Sundays and even Wednesdays to look for new sign up-sheets (which will also be promoted in the Newsletter).

POSTPONED: Mary McDonald and the Trinity Sanctuary Choir were scheduled for April 22 at TBC, but regretfully, we are going to postpone this weekend and reserve October 21, 2018 for her to come and share musically with us. As the Sanctuary Choir rehearses for our special Dedication Day and the cantata, we all felt the timing of this very special day could be better. We will keep you updated as the year moves along, but reserve that date in your calendars so that you won’t miss such a great time in our church’s celebrations.

Our children’s Choirs are preparing for their spring musical, “Down By the Creek Bank,” on April 29 at 6 pm. This is an older musical that many of you might remember when you were in children’s choirs! It has stood the test of time as a favorite among choirs. You’ll not want to miss this fun and engaging musical presented by the Music Makers and the Young Musicians choirs.

We are asking for YOUR help to get ready for this event! We are asking for donations of the following items:

Vacation Bible School is an opportunity for church and local community children to come

together to experience God’s Word and truths in surprising and unforgettable ways! Each day, leaders

reinforce one simple Bible truth—which makes it easy for kids to remember and apply to real life!

Each night opens with singing worship and praise songs. Then, kids travel to different activity stations

like crafts, music, missions and recreation. Every station is designed to reinforce the daily

Bible point in a hands-on, interactive way that keeps everyone engaged.
