Primer Time Singers – October 2025

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in General |

by Doug Lusk

In our church, a Prime Timer is a member age 55 and older. There are a number of Trinity activities that serve and are enjoyed by this seasoned portion of the Trinity Membership. Becoming a member is automatic with coming of age. Participation in any of the scheduled activities is a matter of choice.

Among this age group are men and women who love to sing and who love to worship our Lord through their music. They are known as The Prime Time Singers. Because running a choir requires attention to a host of details, they have a separate organization and slate of officers headed by President Kathryn Ramsey.

This week, the Prime Time Singers started a fresh year of worship with some new songs and a few that were used previously. Weekly rehearsals are held at 10:00 AM each Tuesday.

The main mission of the Prime Time Singers is to have Sing Outs, which are concerts performed monthly at various Care Facilities in Kerrville. The first of these in this new year was sung this past Tuesday at River Point. As usual, it consisted of songs that worship the Lord, plus some that celebrate our Armed Forces and our Country.

The choir is directed by Charlie Barganier and has about forty members. New members would be very welcome. So, If you like to make a joyful noise, come and join the Prime Time Singers.

Glo Games 2025

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in General, Youth |

by Melissa Marcum

It is finally Fall and you know what that means? GLO GAMES! Glo Games is one of TSM’s outreach events to students in our area. It is a great opportunity to bring a friend, have some fun, and show them what TSM is all about!

Glo Games will look a little different this year as we are going with a Middle School emphasis. (Don’t worry, High School had their own Glo Night that was just for them.) During Glo Games, students get the opportunity to participate in fun events while glowing in the dark under black lights. They will be divided into teams by color, and compete for the ultimate prize… BRAGGNG RIGHTS! Faces will be painted, shirts will be written on, pizza will be eaten, and fun will be had by all.

As always, we need adult help to ensure our Middle Schoolers have fun and are safe. If you would like to help with Glo Games and find out more about what loving on our students (while beating them at a game of glow-in-the-dark dodge ball), reach out to Wes or Alycia in the church office.
Highschoolers had their Glo Night last weekend! This was new this year and just for our high school students. It was also a great opportunity to bring a friend, have some fun, and show them what TSM is all about!

As with anything we do in TSM, the desire is for students (and you) to know GLY&DARWY. God Loves You & Desires A Relationship With You. John 3:16-17.

Roots Class – October 2025

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in Adults, Bible Study Class, General |

by Jessi Kearns

Our Sunday school class is more than just a time of study – it is a space where faith comes alive through honest conversation and thoughtful reflection. Each week, rather than working through a lesson in a traditional format, we strive to dig deeper into Scripture by posing unique and sometimes challenging questions – really exploring the biblical text. These questions spark meaningful conversation and encourage each person to consider how God’s Word was received by the original reader and consider how it applies to our daily life now.

Class discussion is always an open floor. Everyone is invited and encouraged to share insights, experiences, or even doubts, and together we listen and learn from one another. This allows us to see Scripture through many perspectives, and it helps us recognize that God often speaks in new ways through the voices of fellow believers, not just Bible teachers. By creating an atmosphere of respect and curiosity, our class has become a place where both seasoned Bible readers and those newer to the faith feel equally welcome to participate.

Another special aspect of our group is that we occasionally set aside the formal study to simply fellowship together. These gatherings remind us that Christian community is built not only on learning but equally so on genuine relationship. Through these times, we grow closer as a church community – sharing in each other’s joys and challenges and having space to pray for each other as needed.

Roots is about more than gaining biblical knowledge; it is about growing a community where Scripture shapes who we are, and conversation and fellowship shape how we live. We believe that by coming together in this way, we are better equipped to live out our faith and share God’s love with the world.

Navigate – October 2025

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in Adults, General |

by JD Templeton

What’s next?

Many young adults are asking this question on a daily basis. They have not known life without instant information access. (remember Encyclopedia Britannica, anyone?) Research shows that media consumption provides similar dopamine rushes to those found in drug usage. Is there an answer to this question?

In this setting, our College and Young Adult Ministry seeks to answer the “What’s next?” question with a healthy spiritual life. On Sunday nights this happens at Navigate. This gathering provides a safe environment to ask the toughest questions of life. We encourage one another to do the hard work of spiritual disciplines. We worship through song and study God’s word with an eye toward practical daily application.

Navigate could benefit from “experienced” adults who are willing to pour their lives into these younger adults. Is God calling you to walk alongside young people in college or the work force? Call the Adult Discipleship office today and talk with JD to find your place of service! We have some bright “Navigators” who would love to learn from mature believers.

Our normal schedule is Sundays from 6:00-7:00 pm Pickleball, followed by worship and Bible study at 7:00.

Stitchers for Jesus Celebrate 10 Years

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in Adults, General |

by Cheryll Overla

The Stitchers for Jesus celebrated their 10th Anniversary on September 3rd. Sue Stewart and Marvene Wallace visited a church in Arkansas that had a sewing ministry and after seeing what these ladies were doing, decided they would like to bring the idea home to the Trinity ladies. Ideas were shared, plans were made and soon the group was off and sewing. Of the original group that started, two ladies are still with us: Sue Stewart and Rita McFaddin. In 10 years of the ministry, about 5000 dresses, many shorts sets, quilts, afghans, baby hats, walker tote bags, adult bibs and COVID face masks were made and distributed to various ministries around the world! As much as we are able to help others, all of the stitchers love this ministry and being able to do the things we love is a huge blessing to all of us.

For the Journey – October 2025

Posted on Oct 1, 2025 in General, John |

There is excitement in the air with the cooler weather, but there is also an excitement around us as we sense and experience God’s movement among us. God is declaring His praise and making Himself known through everything that we see taking place. “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!” Tragedy does not stop God from redeeming the evil and ugly in our world, nor can we claim any credit for the good that is taking place. Only God! The brokenness in our world screams we need help. Many are finding the only help that sustains is the help that comes from God. The strength that keeps us moving forward is the strength that God places within us that He also empowers. The Church has always had a voice. Many need to find it again.

Circumstances around us do not determine our actions. Our heart’s obedience to the LORD’s direction determines our call and actions. We don’t declare truth because it is popular, we declare truth because it is just that, truth. God is at work in His world. We ought to be at work alongside Him. I look forward to seeing you in the trenches.

It has been good to see some of the usual ministry events taking place this month, inviting our community into our space. Trinity’s Arts and Craft Show, First Blessing, High School Glo Night, have all seen both members and guests coming together. None of these ministry events happen without the prayer and planning to bring them about. It is wonderful to see so many Trinity members engaged in kingdom tasks. Thank you, Trinity, for all you do.

We still have groups coming to support our community through the rebuild efforts of Texans on Mission. This is not a quick call, but a continued call, that extends for the long haul of supporting rebuilding of homes as well as the rebuilding of emotional care. STCHM will be on campus again this month on October 13-15. There will be a general group session addressing Trauma on Monday, October 13 and another general group session addressing Grief on Tuesday, October 14, both beginning at 6:30pm. There are also individual sessions available on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:00am to noon and 1:00 to 3:00pm. All of this is at no cost to the individual and open to anyone in our area. Please help us get the word out. There are many who will benefit from this ministry opportunity.

We celebrated a beautiful time setting aside seven new deacons for servant leadership at Trinity. We anticipate fruitful ministry as Chuck Coulter, Jordan Marcum. Tabor McMillan, Philip Meadow, Vern Stahl, Jay Stimson, and James Tripp join our existing deacons in helping to serve Trinity in great ways.

It is not too late to join us in reading through the Bible for 2025. God is faithful to bring us to a place of knowing Him. If you haven’t been able to read along with us until now, don’t miss finishing strong with us. Pick up a reading plan and let’s travel to the end of 2025 together.

In Christ,

Pastor John

TSM Circles – September 2025

Posted on Sep 1, 2025 in General, Youth |

by James Tripp

The start of a new school year brings many firsts, lasts, and other fresh opportunities for growth, reflection, and transformation. It can present some of the first tangible experiences for our students to take the lessons learned at camp and put them into practice as they interact more with people in their schools and broader communities. The start of a new school year also brings about the launch of Circles in the Trinity Student Ministry.

Circles are the Trinity Student Ministry’s weekly breakouts where students are invited to build deeper relationships with God while also forming meaningful connections with one another and their Circle leaders. These breakouts are designed to help students explore what it means to draw closer to God, lead faithfully in the places He has planted them, and invite others to know and follow Him.

Over the coming months, I cannot wait to see how God uses these firsts, lasts, and fresh opportunities to qualify who He has called, ignite transformative discussion, and draw our community closer together. I am excited to see our adult leaders and students pour into one another with energy and resolve.

Please keep our students and adult leaders in your prayers. Pray for our ministry to be one where the lost, broken, and searching are welcomed, loved, and encouraged. Pray for our students to be galvanizers of change in their lives, at home, at school, at work, and beyond. Pray for discernment and wisdom for our leaders. Most importantly, pray for us all to grow in our relationships with Christ and to reflect Him in our lives.

First Blessing 2025

Posted on Sep 1, 2025 in General, Kellee, TrinityKids |

by Kellee Parish

First Blessing, to be held September 20 from 7:30-11:30am, is our annual Mission Trip to Kerr County. What a blessing it is to serve our community through this ministry of providing families breakfast and then giving free shoes and socks for children 2 years old through 12th grade. First Blessing is a time when we get to share the gospel and pray for families in our community.

This year, it will be especially important for us to love on our community. I’m grateful for a team that will be present and listen to stories and share Jesus.

Here are a few ways to join us on this Mission Trip to Kerrville: Serve food, be a table host, measure feet, give out socks, help with trying on shoes, serve as a greeter and more. If you are interested, please email Kellee at kparish@tbck.org.

Eagle’s Wings Home Group – September 2025

Posted on Sep 1, 2025 in Adults, Bible Study Class, General |

by Missy Coulter

Eagle’s Wings is a home-based Bible study that meets in the home of Chuck and Missy Coulter. We meet on Monday evenings from 6 to 8pm. Around 6, we gather for a home cooked meal and fellowship. Chuck usually provides the main course and other group members bring sides and dessert. Enjoying a meal together allows us to visit and get to know each other better while also providing in reach for the needs of our group. We try to keep the group no larger than 12 as this provides for more intimacy. And we love celebrating birthdays!

We begin our Bible study around 7:00. The group as a whole chooses what we will study through Right Now Media, then confirms with JD. Once the subject matter is chosen, we do one session a week. We watch the video and have “lively” discussions using the study guide provided with the video. We break for the summer but continue to meet once a month in other group members’ homes for fellowship and a home cooked meal. This allows us to stay connected through the summer months. And yes! We Love to Eat!

Eagle’s Wings is very involved in meeting the needs of our neighbors and our community (outreach). A few of our group members build ramps for disabled and elderly. Others do home repairs for those who cannot afford to hire someone. A neighbor needed a stove, we networked, found one (free), picked it up and delivered it. We are also very involved with Mercy Gate Ministries. We network to help meet the needs of women entering the program and those graduating the program, and so much more!

I would encourage you to visit Bible Studies and Home Groups and find one to connect and serve with. It is amazing to witness the Hands and Feet of Jesus at work, as well as study His Word together while building lasting relationships!

by Josh Watkins

We have an amazing group of selfless men & women here at Trinity, many have been busy taking care of our local community and church members affected by the flood. Thank you for all your hard work and efforts!

This year we have had a few men’s prayer breakfasts where we spend time fellowshipping around some good food, have a person speak for about 15 minutes, then pray together and plan future men’s events.

At a recent prayer breakfast, Jeff Stone brought his drill and shared how to get involved in the Texas Ramp Project ministry. In June, we had a fishing trip to Lake Calaveras and a few men provided boats to fish out of. Some nice catfish were caught! In August, we cooked pancakes and sausage for the whole church and look forward to doing it again next year! We would love for you to be involved in our future events!

Watch the calendar for events that are coming up.
Future Events:

This Fall – Shotgun event!
October- Men’s Prayer Breakfast

Ways to get involved:
If you would like to help plan events for next year, please contact Josh or JD.
Please pray for our men’s ministry that it would be an encouragement to many men.

Men’s Bible Study – September 2025

Posted on Sep 1, 2025 in Adults, General, Men |

by Mike Mullens

If you haven’t attended the Trinity Men’s Bible Study in a while or you’ve just recently become a member of our Trinity Baptist fellowship, you will find attending the Trinity Men’s Bible Study a great way to get to know other Christian men as we fellowship and study God’s word together.

The 2025 Fall session of the TBC Men’s Bible Study begins Thursday, September 4th. Class hours are 10:00 a.m. until noon and include a refreshment break about half-way through the class. Materials are free.

The topic for our twelve-week study this fall is Jesus Messiah, Son of God which will take us through a thorough study of Matthew, Mark and Luke. There are some differences between each of these three important New Testament books which we will investigate as we discuss them. The starting point of this class will be Jesus is without question the most Important man who has ever walked on this planet. He alone was all God and all man and now sits on the right hand of God the Father for all eternity. So, it encourages everyone who professes their faith in Him as the Son of God to discover everything we can about Him. Our study of these three Gospels will help all of us get to know Him better.
