Life Groups Make a Difference!
Grow deeper in your walk with God, get to know the Bible better, and enjoy developing your relationship with others—these are some of the benefits of being in a Life Group.

We are now forming groups for this year. More information about joining one is on the flyer in your bulletin. You can also contact John Donaghy, our Life Group Director, at .

Global Outreach Missions News
Missionaries: David Spinale and Isaiah Martin - - InterVarsity
David and Isaiah are InterVarsity staff in the colleges and universities in the Nashua and Manchester area. They are on campus at Rivier University, UNH Manchester, and SNHU with Christian outreach clubs and activities, and are working to establish other local college relationships. During college Spring Break, they took a group of local students to Intervarsity’s ServeUP in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In his end-of-the-school-year newsletter, David wrote of a sophomore who joined them at an indoor barbeque held in the spring. “She expressed an interest in organized religion, so I met with her a few times. April 27 was our last Bible study of the year so I gave a full-on gospel presentation and invitation to faith.” Praise God, she received Jesus that night. “Please pray for (this student) in her new relationship with God.”
David Spinale and Isaiah Martin will visit Trinity on October 15th. We hope you get to meet them then.

Worship Leader: Margo Grant
Message: Pastor Steve Murray
Series: The Prism of Love
Welcome to Trinity
“Can I help you?” We’re used to salespeople saying that to us in the store. But how about in the church? As we continue our series on how to love one another, we will talk about serving others and how this is one of the top ways to show we are a follower of Jesus.
If this is your first time here, I want to welcome you and encourage you to join with us as we gather to honor God and seek to learn from the Bible.
If you would like to speak to someone about how to become a Christian, or would like to pray with someone concerning a need, an Elder and I will be at the front of the auditorium after the service. We’d love to help in any way. Or check the box on your Connection Card and drop it in an offering box and we will contact you.
