FROM THE RECTOR
 
This week marks our second Vacation Bible School (VBS), an event which has taken much planning and preparation by our team of 30+ VBS Ministers.  A special thank you to all of you who have stepped up to make this a special event in the life of this parish and to reach outside our walls with the Gospel of Jesus.  I am looking forward to next week, dusting off my cowboy hat and "getting down" on the Ranch.  Please make every effort to join us on Friday evening at 6:30 pm  for the wrap up of the week and social time.   Even if you don't have children or grandchildren in VBS, I encourage you to come and welcome our visitors to Trinity Church.   You'll have a few laughs, enjoy the slide show and be contributing to the vitality of the Body of Christ in this place.   So pray for VBS, pray for our VBS Ministers and for our participants.
 
Also please notice our new section called Sunday Servers where the ministers for the coming Sunday will be listed each week.  Please thank them for their service to the Lord and His people (that's you!).
 
 See you at the Ranch!,
