That discernment process began on Sunday, January 23rd. This week is Personal Stories, and will be at 9:15am ONLY in the sanctuary. The Church Council, however, encourages everyone to take part in this process so that when we get to the point of making a decision, we have walked through the various issues and information together. So please plan to join us at 9:15am in the Sanctuary (notice the different location due to the Ministry Fair)! Childcare will be available. 9:15am Sunday School Opening & Classes……THIS Sunday, Sunday School Opening will be in the downstairs fellowship hall due to the Ministry Fair and Discernment Session happening upstairs. 9:50am Adult Choir Rehearsal…Please notice that Adult Choir rehearsal is also meeting in the fellowship hall due to the Ministry Fair and Discernment Session. 11:45am New Member Orientation Meeting…Interested in joining Trinity or want to learn more about it?

As are all Discernment Process events, these sessions will be recorded for those who can't join us. The Church Council, however, encourages everyone to take part in this process so that when we get to the point of making a decision, we have walked through the various issues and information together. So please plan to join us at 9:15am or 11:45 am in the Chapel! Childcare will be available for both sessions.
