Facility Needs Survey

need to be addressed? The survey is available

Faith Communities Alive Survey Results

Faith Communities Alive sponsored a health survey last

month. The results are in! The results of Triumph’s Faith Communi-

ties Alive survey revealed three key areas of interest:

1. Further education regarding healthy food choices/portions to

manage weight;

2. Healthy food tasting events and healthy meals/snacks

served; and,

3. Increasing our physical activity.

A grant has been made available through the Dakota Medical

Foundation for the purpose of determining and providing collab-

orative training, education, tools and support to address healthful

eating and physical activity to promote overall wellbeing. With

these results in mind, nutrition classes will be offered at both cam-

puses in March, with other activities and information being made

available in the months ahead. Information regarding the March

classes will be posted soon.

located by the doors in the back of the worship space. The Deacon Ministry helps

meet the needs of members of our church during times of financial difficulty.

God’s Word Women in

at West We are excited to study God’s word with one another at West. Our hope and our prayer as we meet together is that we would connect our hearts together with one another, and ultimately

be connected to Jesus. Our prayer is to be:

Connected to God: What does it mean to ‘hear His voice’; pray more effectively; and learn how to better obey Him?

Connected to each other: What does it mean to be ‘family’ together? With the early church as our model, we’ll look at fun and creative ways to connect to each other and learn how to help transform each other’s lives.

Connected to the world: What does it mean to be His ‘Kingdom here on earth’? Together we’ll explore how to touch the hurting world around us in practical ways with the transforming Life and Love of Jesus.

{changed hearts = changed lives = changed homes = a changed world}

Tuesdays | 6:00PM | Triumph West

On Tuesday nights, we’ll be digging deeper into the Lord’s Prayer. Looking into the Lord’s Prayer as our guide to being connected to Him more deeply as he changes our hearts. Bring a brown bag, eat dinner with us at 6, followed by digging into God’s word!

(Sign ups available at the welcome center) Contact :Tami Crist (701.799.6186)

Thursdays | 7:00PM | South Fargo

On Thursday nights, we’re reading and learning through the book, ‘Idol Lies’. Bible teacher Dee Brestin explores these hidden idols that destroy a woman’s heart and how they can be replaced. Hearts can be transformed by the Lover of our souls, Jesus.
