“LUNCH WITH JESUS” THURSDAY NOON ADULT BIBLE STUDY: Women and men of Trinity, need a little spiritual nourishment between Sundays? Pastor Jeff Price is offering a Thursday Lunch Bible Study through November 15 in the Fellowship Hall. The study will visit several passages in Luke in which Jesus shares meals with saints and sinners alike. The Lunch Bible Study will offer a midweek chance for fellowship and to have your spirit nourished. We’ll feed your body as well by providing lunch at a cost of $5 per person. R.S.V.P. to the church office at 501-868-5848 if you know you’ll attend, but come even if you decide at the last minute! Direct questions to Jeff Price at 501-868-5848.

THIRD SUNDAY FRED TALKS: Similar to the well-known TED Talks, Trinity’s FRED Talks offer a wide variety of topics that will help open our eyes and hearts to God, God’s creation, and God’s children. Faith, Religion, Education, and Discussion, FRED Talks may range from Christian theological and Biblical discussions to other religions to the needs in our community and our world. But the talks’ focus and discussions always help us with our faithful response to issues and people as followers of Christ. The talks take place in Trinity’s Gearing Hall on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:15am with refreshments and fellowship time beginning at 9:00am.
11/18 Bill and Liz Branch: Presbyterian Disaster Relief: Retired Presbyterian minister Bill Branch and his wife Liz will be with us to share their amazing stories of working in the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) program doing relief work all over the U.S. They have been deployed to wildfires, floods, mudslides, human-caused disasters, the refugee crisis, and have worked with the Red Cross and FEMA.
A CONGREGATIONAL MEETING HAS BEEN CALLED for the purpose of electing officers at the end of worship on November 18.
SACRED JOURNEY ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS STUDY: The Sacred Journey Sunday School class has begun a study by Adam Hamilton called Half Truths. The class discusses simple phrases that sound like they’ve come out of the Bible. We’ve all heard them. Maybe we’ve even said them! They capture some element of truth, yet they miss the point of the Gospel in important ways. Come take part and help discover the whole truth on Sunday mornings beginning at 9:15 in Room 2. Direct questions to elder Angela Smiley at 501-247-6470.
IF YOU HAVE NOT YET RETURNED YOUR PLEDGE CARD, there are a few ways you can make your 2019 pledge. Return your pledge card by mail in the envelope provided in your stewardship packet.

Direct questions to elder Larry Root at 501-310-5250.
