Rally Day

This week we celebrated our annual "Rally Day" in which we combine all three services into a single service incorporating elements of each and followed by a picnic and games; it also marks the beginning of the sunday school year. This year's service featured some music from our praise band, some from the organ and choir of the traditional service and a special collaboration between the praise band and the chancel choir on "Amazing Grace my Chains are Gone."

Pastor Jeff shared a message about denying ourselves, taking up our crosses and following Jesus from Mark 8 and there was a Trinity3.0 style sharing time in which Nate Lange shared about what's going on in his life and about trusting God in hard times. Both of these are available as podcasts.

Beginning next week (9/20) we will be back in Historic Trinity at 9 am and will now be offering an adult (and young adult if you're not doing something with Paul and Ginny) sunday school class at 10:30. Hope to see you there.

approaching week 10

wow, it's hard to believe that we've had 9 services already. things have been going surprisingly smoothly. we've had technical difficulties a couple of times, we're still mastering the nuances of powerpoint (anyone know how to go directly to a specific slide while in dual monitor presentation mode?) and twice we've had computer issues that resulted in losing/ruining the podcast (one was this past week, apologies to those who hoping to hear it) and on 8/30 the woman who was going to share about her faith journey couldn't make it to church but stan ellson did a magnificent job filling in on the spot.

we've put out a form for feedback and so far it has been overwhelmingly positive; if you'd like to offer any feedback you can post comments here, at podbean (where our podcasts are) or you can fill out the online feedback form at the church website under the trinity3.0 tab. according to the feedback we've gotten so far, there aren't a lot of people reading the blog but i think i'm going to try going back to writing one (short) entry each week since i'm clearly incapable of writing 'every other week or so' with any regularity.

if you're reading this we hope that it benefits you; we'd love for the blog to serve as a two-way resource so please feel free to comment here on anything you've liked or would like to see/hear. God bless.
