Greetings!
Please join us at Trinity in preparing our hearts, minds, and spirits for the celebration of Christmas. At worship at Trinity, this Sunday, December 22, 10:30 am, we'll light all four candles of the Advent wreath, share hymns and scripture, and a message of Christ's coming led by Pastor Albert Starr. The sanctuary is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Join us and invite others to do so!
Our Christmas Eve worship service will begin at 7:00 p.m. December 24th in our sanctuary. We'll light the Christ candle, share scriptures, message, and song, offer Holy Communion to all who wish, and culminate our worship with candlelight benediction and "Silent Night." Again, come and invite family and friends to come also.
We're especially thankful this season as Pastor Albert Starr has agreed to be our pastor throughout 2025. Rob Ripley has led extensive efforts to get much-needed maintenance completed both internally and externally of our church buildings. Dalerond Smith and Wallace Johnson have worked diligently to decorate and prepare the worship environment.

Trinity is a busy place throughout the week! May God's will and God's work be done at Trinity, in our community, and in our world.
