50th Anniversary Committee
Celebration Highlights
During the past four months, Trinity has been celebrating its 50th Anniversary with a different focus each month, such as community groups, prayer, children's ministry, evangelism,mission and worship.
A highlight of the yearlong anniversary observance will be a special worship service and celebration on Sunday, May 18th, beginning with worship at 8:10 am and 10:30am. Trinity's first pastor, the Reverend Donald M. Thomas, will preach at both services.
A buffet luncheon will be held after the close of the second worship service. A celebration program (at 2:30 pm) will include several performances by three of the churches music and worship teams plus a video of Trinity's 50-year history.

Donations Accepted!
Celebrating our 50th Anniversary takes many dollars -- $600 to have our Meditation Booklet printed and a deposit of almost $1500 to our catering company for the May 18 luncheon (just to name a few). If you would like to help with these expenses or any others, consider making a donation to “The 50th Anniversary Fund.”
The Wall of Memories
We’re invited to share our written words on five different window-sized posters divided into Trinity’s five decades. The posters and instructions are located in the nursery area hallway. Share special Trinity memories such as date joined, some words on what it means to be part of the Trinity family, special events you’ve enjoyed.
