Just Walk Across the Room Beginning February 24, we will kick-off our church-wide experience with Just Walk Across the Room. Through this series, our ABFs, Growth Groups, Spanish-Language service and Sunday morning worship services will join together in a four week focus to spread God’s love through something as simple as a walk. If you are not currently in an ABF, we encourage you to get plugged in for these four weeks. To enhance your experience with this series, you can purchase Bill Hibles’ book in the foyer. Baptism Class Are you thinking about getting baptized? This one-time class, led by Pastor Brad, will meet in rooms 109 and 110 on Sunday, February 24, from 3 to 5 p.m. This class is for everyone interested in taking this important step as a wholehearted follower of Jesus.

This year we have the ability to offer three service times, 8:00 a.m., 9:15 a.m., and 10:45 a.m. This is a great opportunity for us to share the gospel of Christ to more people then we ever have on a Sunday morning. We are excited about this opportunity and encourage everyone to begin thinking about how you want to serve on Easter Sunday and who you want to invite. Pastor of Student Ministries We are pleased to announce that the search team has selected a final candidate for the Pastor of Student Ministries position. Thad Anderson, a graduate of Multnomah University, has ministered to both students and young adults in churches in the Northwest. He and his wife, Anne-Marie, have 4 children. The Andersons will be with us Wednesday, February 27th through Sunday, March 3rd. While here, Thad will be meeting with our Middle School and High School students as well as other members and ministry teams at Trinity. We invite you to meet the Andersons and hear Thad share his vision for student ministries at a special worship service on Sunday evening, March 3rd at 6:00 p.m. Childcare for 5 years and younger will be available. You will have an opportunity after the service to interact with the Andersons and enjoy light refreshments.
