What is GriefShare

by Dawna Hill
 
How do you deal with the loss of a loved one? No matter if it was a beloved family member or friend, grief is a hard journey. Trinity Baptist Church can help. GriefShare is a 13-week, Bible based program that teaches God’s way of dealing with each level of your grief.
 
Everyone deals with grief differently. In this program you are supported by others who have also lost and have learned to take it one day at a time. They understand where you are coming from, know the difficult times ahead and the new challenges you face.
 
Grief is a process (not easy), but with others beside you, each step is a litter easier. We all need someone to listen and be that shoulder to cry on. We are here for you; to listen, cry with, pray with, or simply sit in silence with you. You do not have to suffer the pain and heartache of loss alone.
 
We offer spring and fall sessions and have a new session starting Monday, September 14th, 10 AM-noon. Each week includes a video lesson, group discussion, and a short break for refreshments and fellowship. You may not feel like GriefShare is right for you today, but we will be here for you with love, compassion and understanding for the hard times of life when you are ready.
 
Do not worry about privacy in sharing as we are a close-knit group and nothing leaves the room. We want everyone who comes to feel free to share what is on their hearts and minds because that is how we heal.
 
If you feel ready to join us, please call the church office at 830-895-0100 or visit www.tbck.org/griefshare to sign up.

Flower Ministry

by Sharon Grimes
 
The Trinity Flower Ministry continues to share the Sunday morning altar flowers with members of our church to encourage and provide hope. Other occasions are celebrations of milestones to help our church family rejoice. After the flowers are enjoyed in worship or in a special service, we prepare 4 to 6 arrangements for members of our church family and community. We meet on Monday mornings and work together to create the arrangements, plan who the recipients will be, and then plan the delivery of the flowers. Before they leave for the day, we thank the Lord for the ministry, our group and pray for the needs of the recipients. The flowers are delivered with an encouraging note and we often add a brief prayer or scripture.
 
We fellowship with the members of our church family when the flowers are delivered. With a spirit of encouragement, we share flowers to share a little joy, praise and love of the Lord. When our church family is experiencing death, health issues or hurting, we share flowers to let them know they are in our thoughts and prayers. Frequently, we make a new friend, sharing pieces of our lives that become a treasured moment. The visits may be short or extended, depending on the needs of the recipient.
 
As a group, we help each other with small projects, send quick text messages and even phone calls. We have shopped together and are planning a luncheon. Our group is small with the designer of the bouquets being a member for over 20 years. The rest of our group are new to this ministry. Our love of the Lord and our sharing time bring a unique closeness.

Friendship Class

Room 221 @ 9:45
Teacher(s): Richard Cox & Jeff Stone.
Ages 30’s-90’s!
 
by Melinda Cox
 
Greetings from the Friendship Class and Happy Fourth of July!
 
When our nation was formally established 250 years ago, freedom was the clarion call. The definition of a “clarion call” is “a strongly expressed demand or request for action.” Our struggle for national independence in 1776 was an example of a clarion call — the need for independence of the American colonists from England.
 
But, even more important to us as Christians is a verse from Galatians: “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” (Galatians 5:13; NIV 2011)
 
A very important part of our class is to expound on the Scripture verses that are part of Trinity’s scheduled daily Bible readings. The teacher casts the Scripture verses on the overhead screen while digging deeper into the Scripture passage.
 
One of the ways that our class serves one another is through prayer. Prayer requests are shared by the class, prayed over in class, and sent out via email to each class member. I firmly believe that iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). God is our advocate and hears our prayers. 
Christian service is another way that the Friendship Class becomes the feet of Jesus. Whether it be the needs of class members or church members, the Friendship Class very often reaches out to help others in their time of need. Sometimes, the need is physical, such as members needing help in driving to a doctor’s appointment. At other times, the need is more spiritual and emotional in nature. All in all, I feel that “koinonia” exists in the Friendship Class. “Koinonia” is the Greek word often translated as “fellowship,” although its meaning goes deeper than mere social interaction. I strongly believe that the Friendship Class is an example of Christian fellowship and communion with God and our fellow Christians.

Stitchers for Jesus Ministry

by Cheryll Overla
 
The Stitchers for Jesus Ministry is a group of women who sew, knit, crochet and make hats with looms. These items are sent locally and worldwide, going with mission groups, to orphanages, children’s homes and also with ministries that serve children with needs.
 
Some of the items made include girls’ dresses, boys’ shorts, baby and child hats, quilted blankets and afghans. Along with things made for babies and children we make adult bibs, walker tote bags and lap blankets for residents that are homebound or in assisted living or nursing homes.  One lady in our group makes cloth dolls that go to children around the world. 
 
We craft these things at home and have a monthly meeting where we bring in the items. In our prayer time we intercede for those who will receive these things, as well as for each other’s burdens, needs and blessings. Stitchers is another way Trinity can “Worship-Connect-Serve” in a smaller group setting. We know each other well and look forward to meeting and sharing ideas about sewing etc. and updates on things we have prayed for.  The ladies are talented and love to work with fabrics and yarns.
 
This spring we have also helped Kellee in the children’s department with a preteen summer camp mission project. We made “wreath kits”; strips of cloth fabric that will be used to make door wreaths for nursing home/assisted living residents (400 of them!). We are already working on the shoe bags that will be given out in September for First Blessing…about 550 shoe bags for the big day!
 
Does this group sound like a place where you could work and serve the Lord? We are happy to have new people join in and help us. It is a great ministry and fellowship group.
