Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher; all is vanity. Ecc 1:2
In our current sermon series, Finding Meaning in a Fleeting World, we’re exploring how Ecclesiastes reveals the emptiness of life apart from God — and how the gospel of Jesus opens the way to something far better.

Adult Education: The Doctrines of Grace
Sundays, Nov 2 - Dec 14 | 9AM | upper-level meeting room
Starting November 2 we will be kicking off a Adult Ed series on 'The Doctrines of Grace'– that is how God saves sinners. Over seven weeks we will expound and extol how this great, gracious and glorious salvation unfolds from eternity past into an everlasting future. These doctrines have always been the cherished treasure for saints across history for they furnish a display of the glory of God in its most ravishing vesture. Team taught by elders Jon Hinkson and Tyler Dueno.
Carol Service Musican Call
Sunday, Dec 7 | 4:30PM & 7PM
This year, Trinity will be hosting two Carol Services on December 7th. The first will be a family friendly service beginning at 4:30pm, and the second service will begin at 7pm. If you enjoy singing or play a string, brass or woodwind instrument, we would love you to consider participating as a member of the choir or orchestra for these events.

Thanksgiving All-Church Potluck Lunch
Sunday, Nov 16 | After Morning Worship | Fellowship Hall
Join us in the fellowship hall following our Thanksgiving Testimony Service for this special time we look forward to each year. Please bring an entrée or side dish to share with others. As oven space is limited to keeping a few things warm, please bring your food cooked, plated and ready to serve. Crockpots are great for this event! We have a couple that can be borrowed so just ask if you need one. If you can also bring a pie for our popular pie table, let us know. Whipped cream and hot & cold beverages will be provided by the church. Help is needed for setup, during lunch and for cleanup. Contact Kirsten or Amanda in person or email us at fellowship@trinity-baptist.org
Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Thursday, Nov 27 | RSVP Required | Fellowship Hall
Each year Trinity offers a Thanksgiving Day fellowship opportunity to those in our church who are in New Haven without family. We can accommodate 40 folks for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner but participants must register by Monday, November 24. If you have questions, contact Kathy Abbott.
GriefShare: “ Surviving the Holidays”
November 23 & December 14 | 11:45am | Trinity House Small Group Room
Grief is harder around the holidays. Know how to deal with the challenges. When you’re struggling with grief, a quick, cliché response is not what you need. At GriefShare, you’ll meet people who will listen, without judgment, and share helpful insights and advice. Kim Gibson and Jay Farrell will be offering a two-session workshop on surviving the holidays. Please register here or follow the link below.
