Back to School

Back to School Info and Ministry Needs at Trinity, in Public Schools, and on your knees.

August is quickly coming to an end.  The school year will start very soon; for some college students, move-in day has already happened.  The August 18th bulletin is full of opportunities to serve, learn, and grow.  There is a need for many hands, feet, and energy to do the work of the ministry.    

All that is necessary, but let us never forget the ministry's most important work.
Depending upon to do His work in people's lives. 
Trusting in Jesus, not just to save us, but also to work in the lives of those we know and serve. 
PRAYERFUL DEPENDING ON GOD!

We need people to serve at Trinity and in our community. 
We definitely need people to cry out to God for the workers, God, and those they serve.

Serving in the Grand Rapids community through Bible Clubs and Community Kids

BIBLE CLUB HELPERS NEEDED!!

Bible Clubs in Public Schools are an amazing and efficient way to share the gospel and make disciples.

If you want to be involved in a high-fruit-bearing ministry, prayerfully consider how you can help!

Clubs are gearing up to start in late September, and we are looking to start THREE NEW CLUBS in the Grand Rapids area.

There are several clubs at elementary schools near Trinity!



If you are interested in helping to volunteer (small group leading, co-teaching, check-in, or more) 

Go to https://www.mibibleclubs.org/2-volunteer/ or see Rochelle Visser for information about serving.

Donations of snacks, candy, markers, and small prizes are always needed.

Districts that could use help:  Northview, Caledonia, Rockford, Hudsonville, Godwin, and more!

COMMUNITY KIDS volunteers and mentors are also needed.  Go to www.communitykids.org/volunteer

Rochelle Visser, an active, excited Bible Club worker, is one of TBC's supported missionaries.
Community Kids is one of TBC's supported ministries.

There are many other Gospel-teaching, Bible-focused ministries in the area.  We have spotlighted these two because of our church's connection and commitment to them.

Serving on Your Knees

Pray for teachers, professors, and administrators in schools and colleges.

Pray for Pastor Jory and the youth volunteers as they prepare for this year's youth ministry.

Pray for Pastor Dave, all the teachers, and helpers in the KIDZ (Kids Intentionally Discipled Zealousy) ministry.  Also, pray for the continued search for a children's ministry director.

Pray for college students going to school, especially freshmen, and everything this includes.  May we, as a church family, love them, pray for and connect with them, and help them grow.

Pray for college students attending colleges and universities in Grand Rapids.  May we, as a church family, love them, meet with them, and help them grow.

Pray for Nick and Dana Harmon, our supported workers at UNC-Wilmington.  

Pray for the parents of children in public, private, and home schools.  Pray these parents will understand and see the need to disciple their children in the ways of the Lord.  For parents who are not saved.  Pray they will repent, believe, and disciple their children.

Pray for Rochelle Visser, Bible Clubs, and Community Kids, especially as the school year starts.

Pray that YOU will use this upcoming ministry season to connect with other believers, serve in a way that stretches you, and help those in your know and grow closer to God.
