Happy Thanksgiving Trinity Family
As we enter into the season of Thanksgiving we have much at Trinity to be thank-
ful for, we have been blessed to be serving together for the last 11 months and
God has showered us with so much. Our attendance has went from averaging 45
in 2016 to averaging 103 for 2017, we have started a Sunday school program that
was non-existent for years and now have over 35 people and children attending
every week. We started 2017 with one child attending and now we are having
around 20 children a week. WOW!!! What a great God we serve and how He has
answered prayers of Trinity. Please take time this year to be thankful to our
Lord for all He has done in His church here at Trinity and how He continues to
bless our lives.
I found this poem to share with you as we enter the Thanksgiving season:
Thanksgiving Beatitudes
Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire. If you did, what
would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something, for it gives you the opportunity to
learn.
Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations because they give you opportunities for improve-
ment.
Be thankful for each new challenge because it will build your strength and char-
acter.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary because it means you’ve made a differ-
ence— Author unknown
