Affirmation of Faith: A Modern Affirmation #885 Hymnal Pastor: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the one true church, apostolic and universal, whose holy faith let us now declare: Pastor and People: We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, power, and love, and whose mercy is over all his works, and whose will is ever directed to his children’s good. We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of man, the gift of the Father’s unfailing grace, the ground of our hope, and the promise of our deliverance from sin and death. We believe in the Holy Spirit as the divine presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ, and find strength and help in time of need. We believe that this faith should manifest itself in the service of love set forth in the example of our blessed Lord, to the end that the kingdom of God may come upon the earth. Amen.

You may order a nametag by circling your name on the attendance pads or by contacting the Church Office. Listen on the Radio or Website If you can’t make it to church on Sunday, try the radio broadcast!

Sunday Study Groups 9:45 a.m. Trinity has a variety of classes which meet at 9:45 a.m. , as a part of our Sunday School program. These classes span many ages, needs, and interests. Children: Get ready to set sail on an awesome adventure through Deep Blue Kids Learn & Serve. As we dive deep into God’s Word, we’ll explore, hear exciting Bible stories, and learn how to live as disciples of Jesus through service to others. VPK meet in Room 107, Kindergarten/1st Grade meet in Room 203, 2nd/3rd Grade meet in Room 201, and 4th/5th Grade meet in Room 205. Come join us and see what the adventure is all about! Youth: Rising 6th graders have Confirmation Class during the school year, at the Sunday School hour in the main room. Our 7th and 8th graders will meet in the mid-high room, and 9th – 12th graders will meet in the high school room. Agape Class (Rm 305): This class focuses on sharing the concepts of Agape -selfless, encouraging, and unconditional love. The Agape class includes many parents who are raising children. We actively support one another in sharing God's love through service and fellowship. Class curriculum changes frequently, and newcomers are always welcome. Aldersgate (Rm 302): Aldersgate class has lively discussions on a wide-range of topics. It is definitely not a lecture class. We are doing a study called The Jesus Fatwah, “Making Connections, Part 2: In Which Muslims Have their Say.” Betty Phifer (Rm. 307): The Betty Phifer Advanced Studies Class promotes open discussion that examines contemporary problems and diverse ways to serve God and others. Bible Journeys (Rm 306): The current series is “TRACKING THE TIMES” - “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later.” (Revelation 1:19) Koinonia (Rm 304): This class uses FAITHLINK, a study delivered each week online, which looks at the application of faith and actions to major events in the news. This week: 2018 Winter Olympics. Wesley Bible Study Class (Rm 310): This fellowship for persons of all ages currently uses the Adult Bible Studies Series to gain a biblical foundation for their faith. The study this month is Self-Controlled, Upright, and Godly Faith. Just Us Gals (Rm 301): We are studying “God is Closer Than You Think” by John Ortberg.
