Women of the Word Class – March 2026

Posted on Mar 1, 2026 in Adults, Bible Study Class, General |

by Janett Wells

The Women of the Word is a delightful group of ladies who care for each other and journey through books of the Bible together. This spring we will be studying Matthew 14-28, using Lifeway’s Explore the Bible series. The women in this class uphold one another with prayer, cards, notes of encouragement, and by visiting those that are unable to attend. Little gifts, big smiles, and thoughtful comments make this class a warm and loving place.

Our teacher, Becky Doyal, does not lecture. She teaches by guiding us through discussions and thought-provoking questions. Our guided conversations help us apply God’s Word to our daily challenges.

Once each quarter we meet up at someone’s house for a potluck and fellowship. The ladies chat, play a couple of games, eat great food, and have fun being together.

Many of the ladies in this class are widows, and we surround women of all ages with love and support. I enjoy being a member of this class because I feel loved, accepted, and motivated to go deeper in my relationship with Christ.

To allow more time for sharing, we meet at 9:30 am (fifteen minutes early) on Sunday mornings in Room 219. Please consider joining us. We would be glad to have you.

Serving at Wylie YWAM

I am part of a ministry called YWAM (Youth With a Mission). We currently have four schools at YWAM Wylie: One school is the Discipleship Training School (DTS). The DTS is a five-month program divided into a three month lecture phase and a two month outreach phase. During the lecture phase, a variety of speakers come and teach on different things in the Bible. The students then go overseas and apply what they have learned. The second school is the School of Ministry Development (SOMD.) This school is for three months. SOMD equips the students to become leaders and teaches them practical ways to learn how to bring missions wherever the Lord calls them. Another school that YWAM Wylie offers is the “Bible School for the Nations”,(otherwise known as (BSN.) This school is six months in length and consists of a four month lecture phase and a two month outreach phase. During the lecture phase, students go through the whole Bible with in-depth learning and teaching in preparation for the outreach phase.

In addition to the schools that YWAM Wylie offers, we also have several local ministries. One of the ministries that we have is a coffee shop. The heart of “Coffee At The Hub” is to build relationships with people in our community and show the love of Christ. All the funds from the coffee shop go back to ministries locally and globally. “Hopes Gate” is our local downtown jewelry store. The “Heart for Hopes Gate” is to offer hope to orphans and adults who are rescued from sex trafficking. All the proceeds go back to the young women and men who make the jewelry items. We have a pregnancy resource center that is called “Hope’s Bridge” and it helps women and teenagers who are pregnant by sharing resources and providing free ultrasounds, as well as other means of support. YWAM also provides classes for single moms and dads and these classes teach them how to parent in a healthy Christian home.

My current roles on staff at YWAM Wylie include the Coffee at the Hub, Evangelism, Hopes Gate, and the kitchen.

I am excited for what The Lord is going to do through all of the students in these schools. It is always fun getting to meet and support the new students.

I want to say thank you so much for your partnering support and for praying for me in this season. I look forward to what God has planned for my future with YWAM Wylie.

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.“ Colossians 3:17

For the Journey – March 2026

Posted on Mar 1, 2026 in General, John |

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in God’s one and only Son.” John 3:16-18

By the time you read this, our 48 Hour Prayer Wall will have concluded but not the ongoing prayers of our church nor the provision granted by our LORD. I am grateful that Trinity is a praying church. Prayer puts us in the position to hear from the LORD as He also hears from us. Prayer helps us to align our walk with His ways. Prayer encourages us that we always have an audience with God because of His love for us in Christ and our salvation in Him. Thank you, Trinity, for praying.

One prayer I have for March is to bring a lot of new people into our church. There will be several weeks in March that we will see numerous people from around Texas, both students and adults, coming to work through Texans on Missions for rebuild. You have been so faithful as a church to share space with others who are lodging in our Bible study rooms during the week. We are so fortunate to have the space God has provided over the years to accommodate such a need and to help provide assistance for our community in such a great way.

We also hope that there will be many who come into our space to experience The Victor this year. On March 27-29, at 7:00 p.m., we will once again share the story of Jesus through the telling of His life, burial and resurrection. Please consider helping to invite our community to experience The Victor with us.

Our Youth Minister Search Committee has identified a special way to pray together as we are looking for our next youth minister. You will see “6 for 7” in several places in communication and around the church. It is simply six specific prayer requests given with the encouragement to join together and pray at 7:00 (a.m/p.m), your choice. God has blessed Trinity Baptist Church with our ministerial staff and we anticipate God’s continued blessing as we add to our team. Thank you, in advance, for joining with us as we journey down this path.

In Christ,

Pastor John

Student Ministry – March 2026

Posted on Mar 1, 2026 in Forrest, General, Youth |

by Forrest Walker

The months ahead are filled with energy, laughter, growth, and meaningful moments our students will carry with them long after the season ends. This isn’t just a busy time on the calendar, it’s an important one.

We’ll kick off Spring Break with Fun in the (Morning) Son! Ingram & Harper students will meet on March 10th and Tivy & Center Point students on March 17th, for a morning of pickleball, sunshine, and fellowship, followed by lunch at Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. Students will pay for their own lunch and transportation will be provided.

On April 26th, we’ll host our Sweets & S’mores Camp Donation. Students will bring baked goods to offer in exchange for donations, which will help offset the cost of camp this summer. This fundraiser replaces our traditional baked potato offering and gives our students a hands-on way to support their camp experience.

May 17th will be a special milestone as we celebrate our graduating seniors with our High School Graduation Festivities. The morning will begin with a breakfast honoring the students who have grown, served, and led in our ministry. Each senior will also be recognized in all services, and we’ll take a group photo to commemorate the day. It will be a meaningful time of gratitude, reflection, and prayer as we encourage them in their next chapter.

Then comes summer. On July 6–10, we’ll head to Horizon Youth Camp, one of the most anticipated weeks of our year. Camp creates space to step away from distractions and focus on what truly matters. Friendships deepen, worship grows stronger, conversations become more honest, and God moves in powerful ways.

VIP registration is open now through March 1, with regular registration running March 2 through June 29. VIP registration is limited to 25 students and includes special perks.

I am truly excited about what lies ahead and grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside your students in this season of celebration and spiritual growth. The best moments are still to come.

Pilgrims of Faith Class – March 2026

Posted on Mar 1, 2026 in Adults, Bible Study Class, General |

by Truman Martin

For the past 40 plus years, a group of Christian brothers and sisters have been meeting in whatever room was available to study and discuss God’s word. We currently meet in room 121 next to the Family Life Center. Before Covid we averaged about 40 in attendance; Since then, our attendance has been in the lower twenties. We use Masterwork curriculum. Each lesson is written by Biblical scholars or well-known pastors from various states and even foreign countries.

Leaders of our class include a class director, Teaching Leader, and class secretary. The teacher encourages discussion by members and visitors present. Several of the members or visitors respond to questions in our book or posed by the teacher. So while our teacher primarily lectures, based on the content found in our book, which always includes much Scripture from God’s Word.
We have 2 or 3 socials a year usually planned by our social committee and are held at a local restaurant or at a member’s home. Like most Baptist groups, our parties always include food.

Most of our members are around age 70 but some are in their 80’s. Our class is divided into care groups which enables us to stay in touch with each other’s praises and problems. Our class director sends out a prayer list every week which enables us to pray for specific needs of members or their families and friends. The ladies in our class visit two nursing homes and home bound members monthly and then enjoy lunch together. The men meet at a restaurant the second Wednesday each month for prayer and fellowship.

We are very open to new members and encourage you to join us as we seek to praise, honor and bring glory to God.

Agape Fellowship Class – February 2026

Posted on Feb 1, 2026 in Adults, Bible Study Class, General |

by Susan Lesser

If Goldilocks came to our small group Bible study class, she would say it is “just right!” We’re rich in wisdom and experience, with ages ranging from the 60’s to 90’s. Wayne Comer is our teacher, John Sontag subs for Wayne when is out.

We use LifeWay’s Explore the Bible series as our study guide, and Wayne always brings in extra verses and references to give the lesson more depth and understanding. And, discussion is encouraged!

We have one couple who are on the mission field, helping camps all over Texas with building projects and renovations.

We are located in the new adult space, Room 215 (look for the water fountain and you’ve found our room!). We’d love to have you come visit and join in the discussions.

Library Media Center

Posted on Feb 1, 2026 in General |

by Susan Lesser

Come visit us in the Media Center! We’re called the ‘Media Center’ because we have books and DVDs, Bible Study kits, and we’ve recently added jigsaw puzzles. We’re located just off the gym, opposite the bathrooms. Our books are reference, non-fiction, and fiction. Everything is Christian, so you and children can read or watch without having to edit the material. There is a list of Bible Study kits on the corkboard outside the library. Also, outside the library is a cart that we keep filled with free books, devotionals, Bibles, and other books. Our space is limited in the library, so we are selective about donations. There are so many good books published! Please do not hesitate to suggest books or movies. We’re open after 11:00 on Sunday mornings and before Wednesday night Bible Study. If you would like to come browse at a different time, call me (Susan Lesser, 830-928-2834 and leave a message). I’ll call back and we can arrange a time. Come see what is in the church library. I would love to see you!

Discovering God’s Creation: Join the Genesis 1 Outdoors Fellowship

Posted on Feb 1, 2026 in General, Recreation |

by Don Francis

If you are looking for a way to combine physical activity, spiritual renewal, and wonderful community, look no further than Genesis 1. This monthly fellowship invites participants of all ages to step away from the hustle of daily life and immerse themselves in the natural beauty of our local state parks, caverns, and landmarks.

A Journey Through the Seasons

Our hiking schedule is thoughtfully designed around the seasons. To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, we pause during the peak heat of June through August. In the transitional months of May and September, we often retreat to the cool depths of local caverns to avoid the sun.

Our annual highlights include:

Spring: A trip to Inks Lake State Park to witness the legendary Texas bluebonnets.
Autumn: A November trek to Lost Maples State Natural Area to see the vibrant red
maples at their peak.
Winter: A festive evening at the festive San Antonio Riverwalk for a private boat tour of the Christmas lights

Fellowship and Worship

Genesis 1 is more than just a hike; it is an act of worship. When we find a particularly breathtaking vista—whether it’s the rugged outcroppings of Enchanted Rock or a quiet lakeside trail—we pause to sing the Doxology, lifting our voices in praise for the Creator’s handiwork.

Trip Logistics

Most excursions depart from the church at 8:30 AM and return by late afternoon. While we typically enjoy sack lunches on the trail, we occasionally treat ourselves to local favorites, like the famous Apple Store in Medina. Our trails are generally rated easy to moderate, though we do recommend a basic level of mobility for navigating occasional rough terrain.

Whether we are marveling at wildflowers during a drought or enjoying a private boat ride through holiday lights, the goal remains the same: to enjoy God’s creation together. We would love to have you join us on our next adventure!

Children’s Ministry – February 2026

Posted on Feb 1, 2026 in General, Kellee, TrinityKids |

by Kellee Parish

Did you know that Trinity has a Mother’s Day Out program that meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year? Our Mother’s Day Out program is called CDO, which stands for Children’s Day Out, and we have a wonderful team that serves families and children. We have babies through Pre-K in our CDO program, which includes six classrooms. I am so grateful for our team that serves these precious children and parents. Our CDO Ministry Team oversees this ministry and does a fantastic job of encouraging our teachers.

Disciple Kids 1 & 2 has been growing. We need additional teachers for babies and preschoolers on Wednesday nights from 5:50-7:15. If you’d like to join our team as we minister to children, please let me know. I’m so grateful for all that Trinity does to minister to children and their families!

Music Notes – February 2026

Posted on Feb 1, 2026 in Charlie, General, Worship |

by Charlie Barganier

One of the most beloved hymns of all time is “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” and it has a powerful, but simple story. Mrs. Civilla Martin wrote the text to this wonderful hymn in 1904 as she visited a dear friend. Her friend, who we do not have a name for, was bedridden and had been for some time. Mrs. Martin asked her if she ever felt discouraged by her situation, and her friend replied quickly, “Mrs. Martin, how could I ever be discouraged when I know my heavenly Father watches over every little sparrow and I know He loves and cares for me?” Within just a few minutes Mrs. Martin had written the words to the hymn we still sing today. Scripture makes clear that God takes great care of even the most common of little birds, how much more will He care for us.

If you feel discouraged, forgotten, or left out, just remember that God says we will soar on the wings of eagles. What a majestic and incredible thought. Wherever you go and whatever you do, take the peace and joy of the Lord with you and let people see that difference shining in you.

Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows fall?
Why should my heart be lonely,
and long for heaven and home,
when Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet now one will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father in heaven. And even the very hairs on your head are numbered. So, do not be afraid; you are worth far more than the sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31
