Weekly Digital Bulletin – July 29-30

The “My Life Verse” series has been incredible for our church family and, this weekend, we welcome Pastor John Finochio for the final sermon of the series! Click here to learn more about Pastor John and his wife Jan, who are the lead pastors at Crossroads Life Church in Harriston, Ontario, Canada. You may recognize the last name as John and Jan’s son, Nathan Finochio, visited Trinity Church and shared a special sermon with our church family last Fall.

To catch up on any of the “My Life Verse” sermons, click here to visit the sermon page or download the Trinity Church app on iOS or Google.

Summer at Trinity is coming to a close and it has been INCREDIBLE! We have a few more events including the final dates of Swimsuit Summer, Crash Course Summer, and Summer Date Nights as well as a fun event for the ladies called Real Women of the Bible!

Click here to learn more about everything happening at Trinity Church this summer.

Swimsuit Summer is EVERY Wednesday and weekend until August 2! We originally were planning to end Swimsuit Summer at the end of July but wanted to give one more day for kids to play on waterslides for those attending the final Crash Course Summer & Summer Date Night on August 2!

The Backyard transforms into a waterpark with water slides, foam cannons, popsicles, sprinkles, splash tables, and so much fun!

Swimsuit Summer is for toddlers – 5th grade but there is still Trinity Kids for nursery-aged kids (starting at 5 months).

Added for the month of July is Trinity Kids Summer Olympics! In addition to all the fun of Swimsuit Summer, there will also be fun challenges for kids to participate in as individuals and teams – pool noodle javelin, water relay races, slip ‘n slide bowling, and a water obstacle course, among others!

To learn more, including what you need to bring for your kiddos, visit the Swimsuit Summer page HERE.

It’s hard to believe we have just TWO more weeks of summer Wednesdays with Crash Course Summer and Summer Date Nights!

During both, Trinity Kids (5 months-5th grade) can be checked in to the Backyard (6:15-8 PM) and toddlers-5th grade will be doing Swimsuit Summer!

For our final 2-week Crash Course Summer session, you can choose between classes on Marriage and Finances. Click here to register for either one!

Both classes take place just across the street from our main campus at the Trinity Café (8499 E McDonald Dr.)

If what you and your spouse need this summer is a date night, you have TWO MORE CHANCES as we’re also doing a remote version of Summer Date Night on the same Wednesdays as Crash Course Summer! The final night for both Summer Date Night and Crash Course Summer is August 2.

You can drop your kids off in the Backyard from 6:15-8:00 PM and go on a date! During both Summer Date Night and Crash Course Summer, Trinity Kids (5 months-5th grade) can be checked in to the Backyard (6:15-8 PM) and toddlers-5th grade will be doing Swimsuit Summer!

Make sure you don’t leave before picking up a special date night card deck called “Hot Topics for a Hot Date (With Your Heterosexual Monogamous Spouse)” to help with date night conversation!

In just two weeks, Pastor Mark is returning from sabbatical and will start a series in the book of Jude called “Black & White in a Rainbow World”. Everyone who attends Trinity during the series will receive a free study guide to accompany the series and help you study the book personally or in a small group.

In our day, like the days of Jude, there is generational apostasy commonly referred to as “wokeism”. Hard woke churches are, tragically, surrendering to a spiritual invasion from false teaching wolves on everything from gender to marriage, sexuality, and the embracing of beliefs and behaviors that are celebrated in parades but should be repented of by God’s people.

This 5-week series will be a practical look at how God’s people can “contend”, as Jude says, for the unchanging truths of God’s Word, gaining discernment from God about the spiritual war that rages around us.

Pastor Mark will be doing a special Real Men online study this summer called “Good Fight: A Study in 1 Timothy”. These will be taking place online in the normal Real Men slot (6:30 PM AZ time) and will also be available to watch after the fact for those attending Crash Course Summer and Summer Date Night!

• July 26 – Command #9: Give Generously (1 Timothy 5:1-16)
• August 2 – Command #10: Love Leaders (1 Timothy 5:17-6:2)
• August 9 – Command #11: Manage Money (1 Timothy 6:3-10)
• August 16 – Command #12: Fight Fair (1 Timothy 6:11-21)

Click here to watch live this summer. If you miss them live, you can also watch them on the Sermon Library.

Do you want to be baptized and celebrate how God has transformed your life and legacy?

We’ll be having baptisms at all 3 services during our 7th birthday weekend – September 9-10!

If you’re ready to take that next step, click here to sign up and a pastor will contact you for next steps. We are so excited to celebrate with you!

Park construction has been underway all summer and the grand opening is planned for just under 2 months from now as we celebrate our 7th birthday September 9-10!

As we rebuild home, we also would like to encourage you to not overlook the general fund, as the capital campaign is intended to be offerings above and beyond your normal tithe.
