Good morning Trinity Family. Welcome visitors. We are here to worship our Risen Savior today with song, praise, prayer and preaching. IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU.
Rev. Keith Hutchinson preached for us on Wednesday. We are thankful for the presence of the Lord in our Heritage Keepers service as we were reminded that faith pleases God, not fear! In the PM prayer service Isiah 56:10 was explained as a “Dog for Sale”! This is a must watch message for believers! View the messages on TBC website and App.
In the past couple of weeks We have received reports from several of our missionaries. It is our responsibility as the supporting church not only to pray but to give, and you are doing just that! The Haiti report from Ms Phyllis is a message of courage in the midst of historic violence. She is asking us to pray that the pallets of food will arrive to the compound but she knows God will supply. What faith! She said to tell Trinity that “I love you so much and tell Pastors to keep preaching as she is praying for them! Below is a chart of current statistics that give us an idea of their situation.
Let’s pray and trust the Lord together as we lift up the needs and burdens of each missionary. If you have questions about any missionary we support don’t hesitate to email me. God bless you,
