My goodness, how the summer is flying by! Our
congregation sponsored a wonderful event filled Ice Cream Social; a special Thank you to
everyone who worked so hard to make it happen. I have to admit
riding on the float being pulled by two beautiful Belgium work horses was a real
treat. A special thanks to Carol Barnes for recruiting Mike and Jimmy and their
beautiful horses, Duke and Pete. On a Sunday morning, we had the opportunity to hear about God
working in the world, especially in New York City. Dr. Bill Merry shared the work he is doing with
people form China and Thailand. Dr. Merry asks for your prayers of continued
guidance and strength in the work he is doing.
On September
10th, Pastor and I will be spending the day at Houghton College. They have invited
us to have Brunch with President Shirley A. Mullen, and then participate in a College
Fair. The event is designed to help the students at the College become familiar with
area churches and what type of ministry they are doing. It is our hope that some of
them will get involved with some of our activities here at Trinity.
On September 25, a small group will be going to
see Mark Lowry in concert in Bath. The show sold out within a few days. I was
able to purchase 10 tickets. I have one left. Let me know if you would like
it. The cost is $5.00
Also in September our church
along with Thrivent will be sponsoring two benefits. On Thursday, Sept. 20th there
will be Music in our Pavilion. The Band of Brothers, Carol Mead, and Carole Aldrich
will be performing. There will hot dogs, soda, and other goodies. The event
will start at 5:30 p.m. Bring a chair and a friend! The money raised
will go towards building a playground here at the church.
On
Saturday, Sept. 29 from noon till 4 p.m., Thrivent will be sponsoring a Chicken
BBQ to benefit Cheryl Young who is battling cancer. There will also be a Chinese
Auction. Get your tickets now!
Vacation Bible School
was a great success! Thanks to everyone who helped or donated. There were
about 45 children who participated. Several of the children sang in church the
following Sunday. What a wonderful blessing to be able to share the Gospel with
these children and their families.
  
There are a
lot of good things happening here at Trinity. God has blessed us beyond measure.
Please
continue to Thank and Praise God for all He has done. Come and Worship!!!
