God Bless America! Praise God for 250 years as a nation. The United States has become a major world leader in such a short span of history compared to other nations. I am reminded that God works through flawed people and God is not through working through our nation, nor His church. May we find ourselves faithful to God’s steps as we follow His leadership.

 
As we come to the anniversary of our tragic flood, July 4, 2025, we are filled with both memories of that day as well as the days following. Over the past year there has been extreme highs and lows. Families had to walk through grief while trying to find God’s comfort and a new normal. We have been blessed to walk with several of them. Many who lost homes have now found new homes and also many have rebuilt what was damaged or destroyed. We are grateful for the many ways Trinity Baptist Church has found to support and encourage.

 
Praise God we are not where we were, nor where we will be, as we continue our journey together. Thanks to all our members who have helped to support the relief, recovery and rebuild in our area. Many have put their feet on the ground for those needing such help. Others have supported Texans on Missions in incredible ways through shower unit support, cooking teams, and serving as site supervisors. The chainsaw unit that has so many Trinity members on it has been busy from day one. Thank you for being a church that is willing to respond and stay around.

 
We continue to support the rebuild ministry in whatever ways we can. I am so thankful to be part of a faith community that is large and continues to show up. Thank you Texans on Mission for your consistent support and continued presence.

 
This August, Trinity will be kicking off a new opportunity of ministry on Wednesday nights. We have been praying through a schedule change that we hope will enable more people to take advantage of next step discipleship. On August 19, we will kick off our new Wednesday night schedule. We will move our Wednesday meal from 5:00 pm to 4:30 pm. Our ministry options will move from 6:00 pm to 5:30 pm. We will offer several options for next step discipleship while continuing to offer our Wednesday Midweek Bible study. The extra time allows for us to offer such ministers as Re/Engage, a marriage ministry developed around strengthening marriages while establishing strong discipleship. Other options include: Experiencing God led by Mark Clemons and Disciple Making Leaders led by JD Templeton. Sign ups will be starting soon. Mike Mullens will be leading our Midweek Bible study through the Life of Christ.

 
We are excited to announce Josh Gill as our next Youth Minister. Josh and Veronica have been members at Trinity for two years. They have two wonderful children, Grace and Alex. Josh will begin serving at Trinity on August 9th. We will have a welcome reception for them after school starts.

 
Thanks to our incredible Youth Minister Search Committee. They took their responsibility very serious and worked together as a team to bring Josh our way. We are so fortunate to have great church members in place to lead us. Thanks again, James Tripp, Julie Boles, Barb Bowers, Jesse Hinton, Loretta Keese, Shelby Peschel, and Becky Watkins.

 
In Christ,
