Life Chain:  TODAY, October 1! Join the Life Chain, from 1:30-2:30 pm, at the corner of Cedar and State Streets in Big Rapids. Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful public witness, standing in honor of over 63 million lives lost to abortion, praying for our nation, for people in crisis situations and for an end to abortion. It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that abortion kills children, and that the Church supports the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death.

TRINITY FAMILY CAMP – 2024 @ Cranhill Ranch, June 16-23 – If you haven't heard already, we have once again reserved the Retreat Center and the Retreat Center Campground for Trinity Family Camp – 2024! From now until the end of September, Cranhill is taking EARLY reservations for the FULL Week, but if you're interested in camping for just the weekend or a couple nights during the week, you can begin reserving on October 1.  If you have any questions, be sure to reach out directly to Emily at Cranhill  (emily@cranhillranch.com or 231-796-7669). We can't wait to see you next summer for Trinity Family Camp!

Prayer Chain:  If you would like to pray for specific prayer requests for individuals, or if you have a prayer request to share with those on the prayer chain, contact the office.  Please remember that all requests on the prayer chain are to be kept confidential.  If you are sharing a request for someone other than yourself, be sure to get their permission before sharing.  

Child Dedication is a special time for families, and it reminds us that we are in this together.  Together we are the family of God!  The elders sponsor a class twice a year to encourage parents to intentionally plan for discipleship.  If you are interested in taking this step for dedicating your child(ren), email childdedication@trinityinfo.org as soon as possible.
