Living with God at the Center
CHILDREN’S SUMMER SUNDAY SCHOOL
9:20 to 10:30 am - Nursery available for children birth thru age 2.
From August 6 thru September 4, children will remain in the Sanctuary for a child-centered time of worship. This allows our faithful children’s ministry team the opportunity to worship with the Trinity Family.
Regular classes will resume September 10, when our worship schedule returns to two Sunday Services: 9:00 am and 10:35 am. If your and your little one would be more comfortable, our “Family Room” is to the right. Nursery care (downstairs) continues to be available for children through age 2.

James 3:1-5, 9-10
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.2For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. 3If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. 4Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. . . 9With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. 10From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so.

NEW TO TRINITY? Helping people to worship God is important to us. We believe that worship is not a passive receiving, but an active encounter with Jesus who stoops to meet us as we worship. The Mostly Liturgical Worship Service at 9:00 am uses liturgy, hymns, worship songs, and silence to guide us in the worship of God. The 10:35 am Church From Scratch Worship Service blends all different types of music, arts, liturgy and free-form worship to help guide newcomers and experienced alike in the worship of God. During the Summer and on Family Worship Sunday, selected Sundays throughout the year, we come together as one worshiping family at 9:30 am.
A Nursery, (downstairs) is available for children two and under at both worship hours. A “Family Room” on the right side of the Sanctuary is available, as well.

Trinity’s Mission Statement : Living With God at the Center
Individually and together, we honor God at the center of our lives by: Meeting Jesus in authentic community-Community.
Seeking to know God better-Communion. Learning God’s truths-Roots.
Serving God’s purposes through our life mission-Mission. Welcoming the deep changes that the Spirit desires within us-Renewal.
We invite others to worship with us and to join us on this journey.
Fall is coming which makes now a great time to be thinking about how you can adjust your schedule and connect more with your Trinity family. As summer winds down, opportunities for study, fellowship, and serving ramp up. More classes are offered on Sundays and during the week; Ruth Circle, Senior Bible Study, and more begin. Game Night, Ladies’ Bunco. Sew Crafty and Women’s book groups and movie night have been ongoing during the summer, but there’s always room for you to join in. If you like to sing, think about joining the Choir! And think about volunteering to serve as a greeter, usher, worship leader, opener or closer. Enjoy being in Community!

Registration begins at 8:30 am and the Assembly commences at 9:30 am. The
meeting will be held at the public school in Fairplay, CO adjacent to our South Park Church. Commissioned Ruling Elder Jorge Barbaran will preach about 'welcoming the stranger.'

The Making of Mighty Men It happens when you least expect it.
Life heats up like a blue hot flame and becomes the hammer and anvil through
which we are shaped into men God can use.
At our Men's Breakfast series, we'll be exploring how God transformed an unruly group of renegades into David's Mighty Men. Join us for a hearty breakfast and life-changing conversation, 7:30-9:00 am, on August 12.
