Our Story:  Women, have you ever heard someone's story and walked away knowing your life would be impacted by what you heard? Stories can be so powerful, especially when a valuable lesson has been learned. On February 12, come hear women share their stories on how God has taught them important lessons on priorities. Starts at 7:00 pm in the Trinity Fellowship multipurpose room.

Try It Tuesday, February 16, at 7:00 pm:  How do you make string art? Hammer nails to wood, wind string around the nails back and forth. Voila!
