Weekly Digital Bulletin – April 16-17, 2022

Our favorite weekend of the year is here as we look forward to remembering the death and burial and celebrating the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ with Good Friday and Easter services, including a huge party Saturday and Sunday! Read below for everything coming up this weekend and beyond at Trinity Church.

Later this evening, we’ll start Easter Weekend with a very special event – Good Friday – with two services at 4:30 & 6 PM. As a church family, we will take time to remember the death and burial of Jesus and His sacrifice for our sins on the cross. It will be a time of remembrance and reflection and you won’t want to miss it.

Then, starting TOMORROW! After we remember the death of Jesus tonight, we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus by throwing the BIGGEST PARTY OF THE YEAR! Join us for Easter on April 16&17 – with FIVE services over TWO days – where we’ll have baptisms, a Jesus-centered message from Pastor Mark, and a HUGE party with a giant carousel, fun slide, balloon artist, face painting, photo opportunities for the family, sweet treats, and so much more! It’ll be a FREE party to celebrate Jesus, so invite all your friends and family! Services will be family-style, so we’ll have Trinity Kids for babies, toddlers, and kids whose parents are serving together, but we encourage all other kids to sit in service with their parents for this special weekend!

This weekend we are also doing one of our favorite things – BAPTISMS!  It’s not too late to sign up! If you’d like to publicly declare your relationship with Jesus through baptism on Easter weekend, fill out the form here! We will be doing baptisms at all 5 services April 16-17.

If you need a Bible-based resource this Easter and beyond to help strengthen your faith and to share with friends and family who don’t yet know Jesus, click here to check out a free PDF copy of Pastor Mark’s new book Alive: 21 Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Next week, April 20, we will have NO Real Men or Real Women during the morning or the evening. We will return to regular programming on April 27 and look forward to gathering together again then!

THEN, right after Easter, we’re starting our next 6-week Pre-Marriage Class on April 24 at 11 AM at the Trinity Café. If you’re intentionally dating, engaged, or recently married, you’re invited to this class designed to set you up for a lifelong marriage founded on Jesus and rooted in friendship. Come learn in a fun environment surrounded by other couples in a similar life stage as we discuss topics like sex, finances, friendship, in-laws, and more. To sign up, click the link here.
