Join us this weekend for the Sixth Sunday of Easter as we continue our sermon series, Building Blocks: Stories of the early church, and how they teach us the fundamentals of faith. This week Rev. Tobi Nguyen will lead us in talking about sharing our faith. In what ways are we all groping in the dark, looking to connect with God? We will be streaming online at trinitydurham.org or YouTube. The Scripture readings will be from Psalm 66:8-20; John 14:15-21, and Acts 17:22-31. We hope you will join us!

Pastor Tobi is continuing this week with the Building Blocks of the Faith Sunday School hour, meeting in the Parlor at 9:15 am. All are welcome. 

REMINDER: Sunday School will take a Summer Break beginning Memorial Day weekend.

The ladies of Trinity UMC enjoyed an evening of dinner and fellowship this week.

Trinity’s Congregations for Children (C4C) is happy to announce our final mission project for the 2022-2023 academic year. Our Kindergarten Book Bag Mission Project will help rising kindergarten students who will enroll in Eastway Elementary over the coming weeks. We will collect new book bags, small enough for kindergarteners and without rollers, as well as the school supplies to fill them. It is our hope that every kindergarten student will have the supplies needed to get off to a good start in school this fall.

Collection Sundays for the project will be April 30-May 21.  We will collect book bags and hope to put the following specific supplies in each bag:

(3) Student folders with pockets & prongs for notebook paper

(1) Notebook paper (approx. 100 sheets, wide ruled)

(6) #2 Ticonderoga pencils

(1) Crayola large crayons (approx. 8 crayons per box)

(1) Elmer’s school glue stick

(1) pencil/crayon pouch or box

(1) small bottle of hand sanitizer

No one needs to fill a book bag completely! Bring what you feel led to bring, and as always, it will work out to the glory of God! If you prefer for C4C members to shop for you, please mail a check to Trinity, and be sure to put C4C on the memo line.

Every year Trinity has a number of scholarships that are available for students of any age who are undertaking studies in higher education. A description of the various scholarships and the application form can be downloaded from our website, click on the link below.
