Heading Home to the Sanctuary!

The end of our time in the gym is in sight! Here’s where things stand:
  • This weekend (November 14 & 15): Worship will be held in the gym one more weekend.
  • Next weekend (November 21 & 22): The Campus Care Team is aiming for our return to the sanctuary for Saturday’s service on November 21. These plans depend on the flooring contractor completing a few remaining items before then, so we’ll keep you posted as things unfold.

How you can help: Getting back into the sanctuary will take some willing hands. We need volunteers for any or all of the following:
  • Saturday, November 14, at 9:00 AM: Set up the gym for worship.
  • Sunday, November 15, after the service: Move the Tech Booth equipment back up to the balcony.
  • Sunday, November 15, after the service: Return the gym to usable athletic space.

If you’re able to help with any of these, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your patience and flexibility throughout this project. We look forward to worshiping together in our renewed sanctuary soon!
Make the Move to Subsplash Giving!
Have you made the switch to Subsplash Giving yet? Beginning December 18, Vanco will no longer be available for giving to Trinity.
Sponsor a poinsettia for just $27 and help decorate our altar for Christmas! A limited number of plants are available. Orders will be accepted through noon on Tuesday, December 15, or while supplies last.
Please click on the person's name to read their letters.
