Please do not rely on the notice being posted on the local news networks.

PLEASE NOTE:  The Board of Worship along with our Vacancy Pastors have decided to again offer the Common Cup as well as individual cups during the distribution of Communion.  If you wish to commune from the Common Cup do not take an individual cup when it is offered.  Whichever you prefer is an individual choice for blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. 

SPECIAL CONGREGATIONAL CALL MEETING - The Call Committee has been meeting and has also been in discussion with the President of the Southeastern District.  The committee invites the congregation to a meeting following the service on Sunday, March 17th to present the option of calling a candidate from the Seminary. There will be a brief explanation that will include a vote to move forward on this option.  Please plan to attend!  

During Lent Special Ministries will be collecting snack foods for the homeless that come through St. Columba Ministries in Norfolk.  We will be collecting the following items:  Beef Jerky, Granola Bars, Prewrapped Pastries, Juice Boxes, Bottled Water.  The shelter hands these out with the sandwiches to complete their lunch.  A box for collection is in the Welcome Center near the coffee pots.

EASTER LILY SIGN-UP -  A sign-up sheet is on the LWML bulletin board in the office hallway.  Cost per lily will be $10.00.  Order deadline is March 17th.  The lilies beautify our sanctuary on Easter Sunday and may be taken home following the Worship Service.

On Palm Sunday, March 24th, we will be celebrating the Confirmation and First Communion of Sarah Prince.  Everyone is invited to join us as we celebrate in this joyous day.  A reception to honor the confirmand will be held immediately following the service. 

THERE WILL BE A PALM MARCH on Palm Sunday, March 24th!  We ask that all of the children participating meet in the Narthex by the nursery at 9:50 am to receive their palms and instructions!  

We have entered the our second year of our five-year campaign – MOVING TRINITY FORWARD Fund. This campaign has a goal of $250,000.  This fund will help support a renovation of our heating and cooling systems, support updates to the building to cover safety and security, a renovation of our playground, and updates to our roof and wiring throughout the building. Thank you for your prayerful consideration as we continue the Moving Trinity Forward” Campaign. This will enable Trinity to plan for our future, and our future looks bright!  Please mark on your envelope that the donation is for the MTF Fund!  If you would like a pledge card to commit to your gift please or have any questions, please contact the church secretary.


Altar Flowers – Everyone enjoys seeing the beautiful flowers adorning our altar on Sunday mornings.  If you have a special event or recognition please consider signing up to provide flowers one Sunday.  The Flower chart is located in the hallway across from the office.  We would really appreciate any donations to the Flower Fund even if you don’t have an occasion to place flowers on the altar.  The LWML tries to make sure we have flowers on the altar for communion Sundays.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Church Website - Our website is always a work in progress but we hope it will give visitors and members information about our church.  There is  a secret page just for members.  In order for you to see this page and to receive future communication/updates from the website, you will need to set up a username and password.  If we do not have a current email on file for you please contact the church office.

Bulletin Deadline – If you have a blurb or an insert for the bulletin, please make sure it is into the Church Office by 9:00 am on the Wednesday morning prior to publication.
