dŚĂŜŏ zKhÍŠ Dear Trinity friends, Being ill and under the weather, it’s hard sometimes to even think about eating. That is where the meals of Grace has come in to help me. Thank you for spending your time and putting in an effort to make the delicious meals. I doubt you receive the thanks you deserve, but I wanted you to know that you are appreciated by those of us in the community who might otherwise go without. Thank you again for what you do. A forever thankful elder

Bass Lake Festival at Michi-Lu-Ca will be the 3rd-6th of August. This music fest has been dubbed as a “ Christian Woodstock� because of its camp-like nature and the multitude of Christian musical artists that perform. It will be a great week of praising God alongside your friends in a relaxed and fun setting. If you are interested, contact Adam (midlandtrinityyouth@gmail.com) for more information. Sr. LYO, On the 9th of August we will be going out to play Paint Ball! Joyful Jubilee information and sign-up packets are on the front desk of the church office. It’ s a great time to praise God with music and friends. This camp is for both those who have many years of musical experience as well as for those who are ready to start learning!
