Associate Pastors
A Word from Rev. Esther: Happy Fall! I love this time of year and the fun activities and the simple opportunities available to invite folks to our celebrations. I'm looking forward to this Sunday's Pumpkin Harvest and hope to see you there -- there are lots of opportunities to volunteer. Tomorrow will also be a great day to invite some folks to Trinity. At the 6:35 service in the chapel we will be having a mini concert by Tom Conlon -- Holy Communion will follow. Coffee Talk for young adults meets after the service and we'll be exploring ways to serve for our upcoming series on 'Change the World.' Blessings to you this week! Please click here to visit Rev. Esther's blog.
