Hello from Marriage Ministry! We are excited to have kicked off our fall “Love Like You Mean It” Class. We would like to invite you to come join us on Sunday nights to dig deeper with your spouse to develop a relationship built on what the bible defines love to be! Bob Lepine helps us dive into how God describes and displays true love; the love your soul craves, and the love God has designed for your marriage. Our first challenge was to find one small way to show your spouse patience this week. Join us as we work together as couples to serve the Lord with our marriages.

 

The marriage ministry is excited to be taking a group to San Antonio for the “Weekend to Remember”! This event will take place on November 17-19 at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort. You can register on the Family Life Weekend to Remember website. You can choose to stay at the resort, local hotel or  commute back to Kerrville. This weekend is packed with phenomenal speakers and various materials to help grow your marriage! We love how this weekend is made for every walk of marriage; whether you are engaged, newlywed, growing through different stages with children, blending families, empty nesters reconnecting with your spouse or seasoned marriages looking at what it means to leave a legacy with your family – there is something for every stage. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Kaleb and Lauren Kurz.

 

 

Jeff Stone has been very busy helping bring awareness and information about the upcoming solar eclipses to the citizens of Kerrville and the surrounding area.  That includes about 20 briefings, ranging from 15 minutes to over an hour, for groups including HOAs, civic and professional organizations, as well as other groups. There are also more planned between now and the April 8, 2024 total eclipse. If you missed his presentations at Trinity, take him out for a cup of coffee to discover more on this natural wonder from God!

 

David Clarke organized the Car Show at TBC on September 9^th. Around 20 cars came and went throughout the morning. Those who attended enjoyed themselves. 

 

Jerry Gale and others have helped build 6 ramps in conjunction with the Texas Ramp  Project in the Kerrville area over the past few months.

 

Men’s Bible study has continued with Bill Parr being the primary teacher and Rick Boles as the coordinator.

 

Mark Clemons attended the Men’s & RA Retreat at Camp Menard on September 1st and 2nd. He was able to offer Tomahawk throwing and prepare cobblers for the 180 plus that attended.

 

Many men were able to participate in the children’s camp at Alto Frio in July, helping with Bible Studies, dutch oven cooking, fishing and other activities. Thank you, Kellee Parish, for letting us join you in touching the lives of the children.

 

Plans for 2024 are being prayed about and we would love for more men to be involved. Please consider joining others as we seek the  Father’s will in regard to the Men’s Ministry at TBC.

 

You are warmly invited to come on Monday morning, September 11, at 10 a.m. in Room 221 (older part of building, above gym), and subsequent Mondays, and allow us to share God’s healing love, as you work through the difficult life challenge we call GRIEF. We use a workbook, view DVDs, and have interesting and stimulating discussions. We can show you just how alone you are NOT.

 

Please join us and bring a friend. To register, or if you have questions, you may call Gina at 830-895-0100, or Pattie Davis at 512-940-1689. Material cost is $20, you may repeat any session or semester without a fee.

  

 

“Oh, how beautiful!” “Are those for me?”  These are some of the comments we hear as we walk into a nursing home facility.

 

The flower ministry is a ministry very few people are aware of.  The ministry was started many years ago, we don’t know the exact date, by a few folks that began taking the large altar arrangement to the nursing homes. Due to the size of the  arrangement, the homes requested they have smaller vases. Residents thought someone had passed away, so they  wanted them to enjoy smaller arrangements.

 

The altar arrangements are given every Sunday by individuals who want to remember special occasions or a special holiday. We take this arrangement and give it a new look by arranging five to seven individual vases.

 

Jean Ward has been with the ministry since 2011. She is the person that keeps our records each week as to whom we will send the beautiful flowers. Our floral designer, Pam Case, does a beautiful job giving that special touch to the flowers. Helpers include Patricia Miller, Carrie Overby and Judy Southerland. We are the elves that create the colorful ribbons that go on the vases and deliver them. Each arrangement includes a message from the church that lets the recipient know they are never forgotten and that they are loved.

 

We invite you to come join us. You will be blessed with the fellowship of this ministry. We meet every Monday at 10:00am in room 121. We know this ministry has blessed many, many people that will  never come to our church but they tell others about us.

 

Please come and see what a  difference you can make in someone’s life.  “As I have loved you, so you must love one  another.”  John 13:34

 

 

 

The Sunday morning bus ministry to Juniper has been running continuously for slightly over a year now.  It began in April 2022. We would like to recognize all those who have made this service operate smoothly. The list includes Stan Foskett, Sean Sontag, Melissa Hufstedler, Tommy and Sue Owens, Christy Bell, Mary and Mike Olden, Tim and Violet Matthias, Wayne and Pat Fifer, and Bob and Pattie Davis. Additionally, we have Wayne Comer to thank for his craftsmanship of the “perfect” step to facilitate getting in and out of our Trinity bus. The riders comment on that step every week, as well as how thankful they are to have the bus ministry running.  If you are interested in knowing more about this ministry and ways you can help, please contact Pattie Davis at 512-940-1689 or the church office at 830-895-0100.
