Blessings, Blessings, Blessings....... and more Blessings

 If you are anything like me you sometimes fall into the trap of getting caught up in the "day to day stuff" that goes on in our lives. I get so bogged down with making lunches, doing laundry, going to work, making dinner, doing homework, grocery shopping, etc., that I sometimes forget to take the time to truly look around me and to be sincerely thankful for the amazing blessings God has placed in my life. Sure, I thank Him every morning but when I really take the time to think about the wonderful people and the endless love He has blessed me with, that is when my soul is filled with The Holy Spirit and I feel compelled to joyfully thank Him and praise Him for loving me so much! I pray that each of you will find a little time each day to look around you, be filled with The Spirit and joyfully praise our Father who loves us so much!


Among our many blessings is the blessing of our church and the amazing ministry He has called us to. As the Spirit fills you this week, here are some opportunities to worship, connect and serve here at Trinity:  




Highlighted Serve Opportunity
PTF (Point To Faith - youth group) ia collecting disposable diapers, baby wipes and toddlers underwear for The Gertrude Walden Center in Stuart - a wonderful facility that provides daycare and parental education and support for low-income families. Please bring the diapers, wipes and underwear into the church before February 27th.

4. Little Caesar's Pizza Fundraiser - How are sales going? Remember, this fundraiser will help lower the cost per person of our Family Retreat on Memorial Day weekend. If you plan on joini ng us for the retreat weekend - please sell as many pizza kits as you can. Remember, we will continue to sell through March15th - our delivery day is March 25th. I still have selling packets available if you have not yet gotten one!

5. Tickets for the Spaghetti Sauce Cook-off Fundraiser, to be held on March 27th at 12:30pm, will go on sale March 6th. This is a revision from last week's blog where I stated that we would start selling tickets on Feb 20th. In looking at the calendar and other events, programs that are happening, it makes more sense to start selling on March 6th.
