Hello Again Trinity Families!

I pray that you are all having a wonderful week and enjoying the warmer weather!


Here are some important updates and reminders for this week:


1. Kid's Klub Lunch and Assistance:
 - We need families to sign up to provide lunch for our upcoming Kid's Klubs. We generally have 20-25 kids plus 2-3 adults at each Kid's Klub. We need a nutritious yet easy lunch (i.e. sandwiches and baked chips, chicken nuggets and baked fries, pizza, etc. - we have drinks here at the church). Here are the upcoming dates where lunch is needed:                                                                   * January 23rd
  * February 6th    
  * February 20th
  * March 6th
  * March 20th
We also need an adult to assist Ms. Christin on each one of these dates.


Please let us know which date(s) you are able to supply lunch for the kids  and/or assist Christin by emailing me at madeline@trinityjb.org


2. The Youth Group (PTF) will be meeting at the church this coming Sunday morning at 6am and heading to the beach for sunrise prayers and breakfast. They will then return to the church to change clothes and attend the 9:15am service. If you have not yet RSVP'd to Ms. Jen or if you need more information, please be sure to email her at ms.jen@trinityjb.org. Parents, Ms. Jen is looking for someone to help with transportation. Please contact her if you are able to help.


3. Family Retreat Fundraising:  
  The Family Retreat (April 29-May 1) will be an amazing, transformational time this year, just as it was last year.
As with everything it must be paid for! The cost per person is very reasonable - two nights of lodging and four meals (Saturday breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast) as well as use of the facilities and a three hour challenge course and evening campfire is only $95.00!! We will be asking those who are able to contribute to the cost for their family to attend. However, we would like to ensure that all who would like to attend are able regardless of their ability to pay. Therefore, we will be holding two big fundraisers in the next few months. We need a few folks to volunteer to work on a Fundraising Committee to get started on the plans for these fundraisers. Please join me for a meeting this coming Sunday, January 23rd during Kid's Klub (12:15pm-2:15pm). Please email me to let me know you are willing and able to help - madeline@trinityjb.org.


4. Women's Retreat:
 Please join us this coming Saturday, January 22nd from 9am-4pm for our annual one day women's retreat. All of us moms/caregivers deserve some time to spend together with other women of faith where we can connect with one another and our Lord. There is a $10 suggested donation for the day and lunch will be served. Childcare is also available for the entire day!!!! Please contact the office to register - susanengle@trinityjb.org or call 772-334-3404. Walk-in registrations will also be accepted.


5. Connect Group Sign-ups:
 On February 2nd our next Extended Family Connect Group Cycle will begin. There is a group for elementary aged children and one for the youth group also. I will not be leading a group this cycle but I will be attending Buford and Stella's group called "When God's People Pray". I invite each of you to choose a group that you find meaningful and join. Please be sure to sign-up your children as well as yourselves on you connect card this coming week. 


Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

                                    Proverbs 3: 5-8

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

   and do not rely on your own insight. 

In all your ways acknowledge him,

   and he will make straight your paths. 

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

   fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 
It will be a healing for your flesh
   and a refreshment for your body.
