“Go and tell John what you have seen and
heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame
walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, the poor have good news
brought to them.” – Luke 7:22
Summer is over, and we are returning to our normal routines. During the last three months, we had
camps, Vacation Bible School, mission trips, and Do Something Week.
We have seen and heard amazing
stories through those summer activities. Now, it is time to go and tell
your family or friends what you have
seen and heard at Trinity.
Here are a couple of opportunities
that you may invite your family or
friends to attend:

Update on Fall Festival
There will not be a Fall Festival held this year, as there is no organizational
leadership in place to hold the event.
A Special Way to Celebrate World Communion Sunday
During the month of September, our Children’s Ministry 2nd-5th graders will
be focusing on learning all about the Lord’s Supper. Their learning will culminate with World Communion Sunday.
On October 2nd we will be participating in World Communion Sunday.
Churches all over the United States and the world participate in Communion
on this Sunday remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made. We are going to
celebrate by receiving Communion during the service.
And to make it special, we will be displaying breads from around the world.
You are invited to bring bread to add to our World Communion Bread Table.
It might be your favorite loaf that you bought at the bakery . . . it might be
homemade from a recipe that’s been handed down for generations . . . it
might be bread that’s native to the country where your ancestors come from.
Then at the end of the service, your family will be invited to take home a loaf
to enjoy and remember how much God loves us!
Please participate with us by bringing bread on Sunday, October 2nd and
placing it at the World Communion Bread Table.
Disciple FastTrack Begins on Wednesday, Sept. 21
Trinity will once again be offering Disciple FastTrack, a comprehensive 24week Bible study of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, beginning on Wednesday, September 21, from 5:30–6:45 PM in Room C-208. The
cost to participate in Disciple FastTrack is approximately $30 for hard copies
of the two study guides, or approximately $20 for the electronic versions of
the two study guides. Please call the Church Office: 817.274.1345, to register
and to make your selection of which format you’d like to order for the study
guides.
Trinity Member Art Display
All members of Trinity are invited to participate in the display of their personal
works of art to other members of Trinity as well as guests/visitors coming to
our church. If any member of TUMC is interested in taking part in this display,
please leave your name and contact information in the Church Office, and
someone will contact you. Each piece of your own art work will be on display
for two to six weeks, depending on how many are interested in participating.
The location for this display is in the coffee bar area of the Great Hall. Currently on display is a photographic work by Cherry Christianson, with a work
by Becky Alexander to follow. Anything that can be displayed on the wall is
appropriate. Please visit the area to see the display. – Floyd Ostrom
August 7th Blood Drive a Success!
On Sunday, August 7, Trinity held a blood drive in conjunction with Carter
Blood Care of North Texas. Twelve donors gave 10 units of life-saving blood,
which helped to save/touch 30 lives here in our area! Carter Blood Care reminds all of our Trinity donors that they should set up an account through
carterbloodcare.org, where they can monitor their cholesterol levels and
other health needs. Donors earn donor points when they donate blood. Thanks to all those who donated blood!

Longhorn Council Brownie Troop #1607 Assumes Responsibility for the
Rebecca Read Memorial Blue Box Project for Safe Haven Women’s Shelter
In the fall of 2015, Senior Girl Scout Rebecca Read established a service project here at Trinity to collect donations of
women’s sanitary hygiene products for Safe Haven, the Tarrant-area women’s shelter. Rebecca established the Blue
Box Project as part of the requirements for her Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest honor given to an individual Girl
Scout. Due to the on-going success of the Blue Box Project, Rebecca was awarded the Girl Scout Gold Award earlier in
the spring of 2016. It was her hope that the Blue Box Project would continue to be a thriving mission service outreach
ministry to the women of our community through Trinity UMC. Unfortunately, in late July, Rebecca lost her life in an
automobile accident.
It is with great joy that Trinity announces that the Longhorn Girl Scout Council
Brownie Troop #1607 will assume primary responsibility for the delivery of items
from the Rebecca Read Memorial Blue Box Project to the Safe Haven Women’s Shelter. Brownie Girl Scout Troop #1607 meets during the school year at Trinity, and
some of these third-grade girls may be students, this coming school year, of Rebecca’s mother, Julianne Read, who teaches at Duff Elementary in our community.
Thank you, Brownie Troop #1607, for helping to keep Rebecca’s dream alive!

Third Grade Bible Ceremony – Sunday, September 18
On Sunday, September 18th at the 11:00 AM Traditional worship service we will hand out Bibles to all our
third-grade children. Please let Betsy Spencer know if you have a child or grandchild entering the 3rd grade
so that we can have his or her Bible ready to pick up. The children will be asked to come forward for the
11:00 AM Traditional worship presentation.
Bible Boot Camp
This fall we are offering Bible Boot Camp for our incoming third graders. It will be held on Sunday, September
18th from 12:00-3:00 PM in CW-03. We will serve lunch, learn how to use our new Bibles, play games, and have
a ton of fun! Please encourage your third grader to attend Bible Boot Camp.
Calling all 6th Graders!
Confirmation will begin for our 6th graders in late September and end in May 2017. We want to make sure that
we have an accurate list of 6th graders that are in our congregation. A packet of information is being compiled
and will be sent to you through the mail to prepare you for the upcoming school year. If you have a child that
will be in 6th grade this year, and you are interested in finding out more about Confirmation, please email
[email protected]. It’s going to be a great year!
Children’s Ministry is gearing up for the fall
A lot happens down the hallways at Trinity every Sunday morning. There are so many pieces of the Sunday
morning puzzle that have to fit together to make it work . . .families are being greeted, kids are being checked
in, teachers are reading and instructing and playing, babies are being rocked, toys are being shared, songs are
being sung, lives are being changed, kids are making memories and learning that church is fun.
We need teachers and shepherds for the fall and are on the hunt to fill those spots. We need your help
to make Children’s Ministry successful. Could you be one of the missing pieces? For more information on how
you can specifically help fill those spots, email [email protected].
Would Your Son or Daughter Like to Acolyte? Read On!
Acolytes bring the light in to our Traditional worship service each Sunday. We request that Acolytes be third
graders or older in the current school year. Acolytes may serve through their sixth grade year when they complete Confirmation. We will hold acolyte trainings to help ensure that your child understands their responsibilities. Acolytes can sign up online for the Sundays they would like to serve. Please call the church office if
your child/grandchild is interested in becoming an Acolyte and to be added onto the email list for sign ups. If
you have questions about being an acolyte please contact Betsy Spencer: [email protected]
Local Mission Celebration
Trinity’s third-annual Do Something Week of local mission service was a huge
success this year! Between August 1-6, 390 Trinity servants gave 1,341 hours
and 15 minutes of mission service in our community through 17 separate
service venues. On Sunday, September 11, we will hold our 2016 Missions
Fair, in the Activity Center after the 11:00 AM Worship services. At the same
time as the Missions Fair, we will also hold a fundraiser luncheon to support our church’s involvement in the 2016 Fall house “build” for Habitat for
Humanity. Please make your plans now to be present on September 11 as
we celebrate our church’s giving of mission service to our local community

Stephen Ministry Training Class May Be For You
A new training class begins this fall for men and women who are
interested in becoming a Stephen Minister. The skills you receive
as a part of the training are applicable not only to a lay caring ministry, but also in your everyday life experiences and relationships.
Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life, and all have a passion
for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.
Please start thinking and praying about your involvement for the
new class. If you desire to know more about this training please call
Sandra Talkington: 817.265.5987 or Saunda Niblack: 817.275.7455.
Sunday, September 4, Special Offering Recipients
Family Pathfinders of Tarrant County, and
January 2017 Trinity-based Meal Packaging Event
Family Pathfinders pairs trained mentors from local congregations
with families in need to explore financial literacy, career planning,
and life skills. The program changes lives and helps families break
the cycle of poverty. The Family Pathfinders’ 85% retained employment success rate is evidence that the program really works.
Stop Hunger Now is the Christian hunger-relief ministry with whom
Trinity has partnered for over three years to provide the opportunity
to Trinity members to package meals that are shipped to starving
people living in impoverished nations all over the world. This January, we hope to be able to package 20,000 meals over the course of
an afternoon, on the MLK Jr. Day holiday. Each packaged meal costs
$0.29.
Please give generously to these Christian outreach ministries.

Sunday, September 4–Sunday, September 18
For four Sundays, beginning in late August and continuing
through September 18, Trinity will place a special emphasis
on growing our adult Sunday morning Bible study classes
– our Sunday School. The class leadership and members in
each of the 16 classes will be inviting church members (who
are not already involved in Sunday morning Bible study
classes), and regular visitors who are not members of a
Sunday School class, to join them on Sunday mornings.
As we, as a family of faith, live out our Core Values:
Connect, Learn, Grow, Serve, and Give, we want to offer to each other the opportunity to grow, spiritually,
in order that each of us might be the very best witness
for Christ that we can be. Please look for more information about this special Sunday School emphasis on
the scrolling announcement monitors in the Great Hall
and outside of the Activity Center.
